Supply Chain Technician employment outlook included in several categories….

How does Supply Chain Technology differ from Supply Chain Management ?

Supply Chain Management• Focuses on general supply chain/logistics operations• Operations /process focus• User of technology•

Supply Chain Technology• Focuses on implementing, maintaining, supporting software/hardware or material handling equipment which supports the supply chain• Detailed knowledge of one or more material handling hardware components /software packages

What are the options to train supply chain technicians?

• On-the-job-training

• Wide variety of associate’s degree programs already offer training in engineering technology specialties in fields such as the following:• Electro-mechanics (Cincinnatti State Technical and Community College• Industrial engineering/maintenance Chattanooga State Community College• Integrated Systems Engineering (Cuyahoga Community College)• Computer-integrated manufacturing

• Augment existing general supply chain/logistics programs with appropriate technical courses to fit industry needs
