 MSDSCM Program and Digital Transformation Needs

The MS in Digital Supply Chain Management (MSDSCM) program is designed to satisfy emerging educational needs in data-driven supply chain management. Supply chain management, including functions such as logistics, transportation, warehousing, production, and procurement, is currently one of the fastest-growing sectors of the US economy – especially in the southern California region. From small operations to multi-billion-dollar globalized businesses, supply chain digitalization is an urgent organizational need that will determine the future landscape of industries. The program prepares students to lead such organizational transformation by focusing on two main themes – supply chain digitalization and supply chain data analytics. Digitalization based on information technologies provides bases for business information exchange while data analytics guides business decision-making.

Graduates from this program will be able to: 1. Understand supply chain digitalization in-depth from both the information system and the business process innovation views; 2. Lead supply chain changes with data-driven decision-making. The MSCM program is fully aligned with CPP’s polytechnic approach and strategic initiatives in delivering programs that promote integrative learning, discovery, and creativity.
