Inbound Logistics recently published a report on how educators are preparing the future #supplychain workforce, from how they've adapted course content to build relevant skills to career advice. #GSCI co-executive director Ted Stank shared his insights on behalf of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville 🍊: "#SCM is a broad career that encompasses knowledge and skill sets from planning and analysis to manufacturing, warehousing, and transportation operations," he said. "My favorite line is that supply chain management is the part of the organization that gets things done. It creates form, time, and value. Every other part of the firm only supports operations. If they were the kid who always put the chain back on their friend’s bike when it fell off, they’re a supply chain manager.
