By Dave Hannon -- Purchasing, 5/1/2007 8:24:00 AM

The University of Michigan’s Stephen M. Ross School of Business will begin a Master of Supply Chain Management (MSCM) program in January 2008.

According to a statement, the one-year, full-time program running from January to December integrates a team-based summer project experience into the curriculum. Students will work on real-world assignments sponsored by companies with guidance from faculty in the school's operations and management sciences department.

Ravi Anupindi, program director and associate professor of operations management at the Ross School, said, "The supply chain touches almost every function of global commerce. Business leaders view supply chain management as the central nervous system of the global economy. That's why companies are increasingly looking for innovative leaders with the vision and skill to manage their supply chains."

More information on the program and admission is available at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business web site here.
