The IUPUC Division of Business will begin offering a concentration in Supply Chain Management as part of the bachelor of science degree in business, starting with the fall 2020 semester.
Assistant Professor of Management, Dr. Jon Padfield, has been designated as the lead faculty for the new concentration which covers the body of knowledge needed to begin a career in the increasingly critical field of global Supply Chain Management (SCM). Students who complete this program will gain insights into the full range of SCM activities including sourcing, logistics (transportation and warehousing), operations, forecasting, scheduling, inventory management, quality management, supplier development, and product life cycle management.
Padfield spent 13 years working in competitive analysis, R&D, technology development, and new product development in the automotive industry. In addition to teaching, he currently provides consulting, training, and mentoring services to organizations committed to turning their data, people and processes into competitive advantages.
The new concentration in Supply Chain Management is added to the current offerings including Accounting, Finance, Health Services Administration, Innovation Management, Management, and Marketing.
