SUNY GCC - Genesee Community College

Supply Chain Management (SCM) is a strategically driven, value-added process now engaged within every major industry around the world. Today’s sophisticated business savvy companies rely as much on their supply chain personnel as they do their CFO to positively impact their bottom line.

The massive growth in today’s global commerce has given rise to enormous new opportunity for supply chain managers. Be it a service or product, logistics management featuring strategic planning is central to all SCM programs. Implementing and controlling the efficient, cost effective flow and storage of materials, maintaining careful time and place utilities within the supply chain, and meeting or exceeding customers’ requirements are all taken into consideration alongside inventory levels, material handling, warehousing, packaging, transportation and customer service.

Why GCC?
