What is Supply Chain Management?
Have you ever wondered how it is possible that in many instances
you can purchase your favorite product at an incredibly low price?
If so, the credit should go to the supply chain managers for a job
well done!
Supply chain management (SCM) includes coordination of all the
activities that take place to get a product in your hands – from the
time of raw materials extraction to the minute you pull out your
credit card and take the final product home. SCM focuses on
planning and forecasting, purchasing, production, transportation,
storage and distribution, and keeping track of products as they flow
toward you and other consumers.

REQUIREMENTS
In general, SCM recruiters are not looking for generalists, even at the entry level. Most firms and organizations have a select group of SCM programs from which they recruit, such as Arizona State and the University of Wisconsin at Madison. If you aren't in a school at which the firm recruits, an internship might get you in the back door. Because the market is soft now, firms are demanding industry and functional experience even for entry-level positions. In the MBA world, firms look for supply chain coursework or dedicated supply chain programs.
Certifications aren't required, but they do help in a slack market. Common certificates are Certified Purchasing Manager (CPM) and CPIM (Certification in Production and Inventory Management). More than one quarter of all purchasing professionals hold a CPM certification, and nearly 10 percent hold a CPIM certificate.
Clearly, proficiency in an enterprise resource planning (ERP) software package such as SAP, Oracle, or i2 greatly enhances your marketability. Detail orientation is always a prerequisite for supply chain jobs-you can't overdo attention to detail when communicating with prospective employers, either in informal conversations or during the interview process. Finally, because of the cross-functional nature of the field, communication and people skills are paramount.
