Information Guides -- Careers in Supply Chain, Operations and Logistics
The Supply Chain industry consists of a range of businesses involved in the manufacturing, warehousing, selling, transportation, and distribution of goods. This industry is vast, encompassing companies involved in the entire supply chain process, from the purchasing of raw materials to the use of decision making software to optimize revenue and profit.
It can be challenging targeting career opportunities in these areas since they are more broadly defined as functional roles across many organizations, rather than as discreet industries. Many also cross over to define specific processes defined by software applications.
What this means is that you have to be especially creative and flexible when creating your search strategies. Look to the information on these pages to learn about the industry's outlook, strategies for developing target lists of potential companies and researching those companies. You may also want to look at the pages that relate to researching career opportunities as a consultant.
