Master of Supply

Chain Management

Class of 2008

It’s not just about the truck.

The global supply chain is as much about moving information

and services as it is about moving goods. Moving customer

account data from Mumbai to New York requires as much

competent supply chain management as does moving

microprocessors from Phoenix to Berlin. The supply chain

embraces the entire life cycle of goods and services. It touches

every function of global commerce. Business leaders view it as

the central nervous system of the global economy.

Supply chain management encompasses marketing, sourcing,

manufacturing, logistics, inventory management, information

technology and customer relations. It’s about the people,

processes and technology that propel products through the

global economy. No wonder supply chain management has

become a key component of business strategy.

That’s why companies are increasingly looking for innovative

leaders with the vision and skill to manage their supply chains.

No other business school ranked in the top 5 by both BusinessWeek and The WallStreet Journal currently offers a comprehensive one-year MSCM degree.

• A team-based summer project will give you real-world

experience with one of the school’s corporate partners.

• You will be taught by faculty in the Ross School’s world-

renowned Operations and Management Science department.

• You may choose electives in Strategy, Finance, Marketing

and other disciplines.

In short, the Ross MSCM offers a rigorousaction-based learning experience dedicated tothe dynamic field of supply chain managementat one of the world’s top business schools.

Ross MSCM CurriculumBroad-Based and Relevant

The one-year Ross MSCM program consists of a Winter term and a Fall term. Between

the terms, you will participate in a team-based summer project sponsored by a company.

Your Ross experience will begin with an introduction to basic business disciplines such as

accounting, economics, finance, marketing and organizational behavior. You will also

have the opportunity, if necessary, to review some basic quantitative skills.

Action-Based Learning

A distinctive feature of the Ross MSCM program is the integration of the summer project

into your curriculum. You will be part of a team executing a project with faculty

supervision. In the Winter, you will prepare for an assignment developed in concert by

faculty and a corporate sponsor so that you and your peers can hit the ground running,

arriving at your internship site as a cohesive team skilled in communications and project

management. During the summer, your team will work on site to address a real-world

business challenge identified by your sponsor. When you return to campus in the Fall,

you will engage in a detailed review and evaluation of your project.

This action-based learning experience lets you work on real-world assignments that range

from strategic analysis and supply chain audits to supply chain design issues and

distribution challenges.

That’s the Ross approach. Action-based learning gives you adistinctive educational experience and unsurpassed preparation to assume a leadership role in supply chain management.
