Comprehensive course analysis
Who should attend
Executives and managers who must achieve enterprise success through logistics and supply chain management excellence in the highly competitive global environment are ideal participants in this program. Participants will represent the functional areas of procurement, manufacturing, materials management, logistics and customer service, and the major industrial and service segments in western Michigan. A project will tie both modules together. It will be scoped and developed during the first module; data will be refined and analyzed in between modules; and results will be presented and reviewed at the conclusion of the second module. The project review criteria include:
- The project represents a potential opportunity that is not currently under investigation by the firm;
- The participant illustrates how the project will utilize topics, concepts, and tools within the scope of the Supply Chain Management Certificate Series; and
- Successful completion of the project presents a potential opportunity for the company to reduce costs, increase revenues, increase quality and/or reduce cycle times.
In the past, results of the project have provided a tangible, net benefit back to the sponsoring company, making the investment of time and resources in the program well worth the effort.
About the course
The West Michigan Supply Chain Management Certificate Series is based on the graduate level Supply Chain Management concentration in the Broad College of Business at Michigan State University. Consistently ranked as one of the best in the country, the seminar will be offered in two 15-week modules. Module One delves into marketing and supply chain management concepts, and Module Two concentrates on supply chain management processes. Program content will be delivered through lectures, readings, class discussion, and interactive simulations conducted by full-time Broad College faculty. Supply chain management case studies and applications will be liberally used throughout both modules.
FORMAT
To be announced. The program is expected to run in Grand Rapids, Michigan – on the ground and in person. Participant safety is paramount in our decision-making regarding location of the program. Given that, there may be standard precautions set in place, such as participant spacing. Should the situation call for more safety measures such as travel restrictions, the program will pivot to a live instruction, online format. With more than ten years of online instruction in the Broad College of Business, participants can be confident in our online exchange. This program was run live, online with asynchronous materials posted to a learning platform in 2021 and received top marks on all performance measures.
Objectives
In this program participants will learn:
- A thorough knowledge and understanding of world-class supply chain management practices and their role in developing and maintaining competitive advantage;

- An introduction to the tools and applications used in supply chain process evaluation and re-engineering;
