ISE OPERATIONS AND SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT

OSCM should appeal to individuals who want to be directly involved in making products or providing services. The entry-level operations specialist is the person who determines how best to design, supply, and run the processes. Senior operations managers are responsible for setting the strategic direction of the company from an operations and supply chain standpoint, deciding what technologies should be used and where facilities should be located, purchasing the resources needed, and managing the facilities that make the products or provide the services. OSCM is an interesting mix of managing people and applying sophisticated technology. The goal is to efficiently create wealth by supplying quality goods and services.
