Learn the planning and management of all activities involved in the flow of goods and services, from capacity planning to sustainability routing. The Supply Chain and Operations Management program at the Daniels School of Business emphasizes the latest business concepts, models, and strategies for modern supply chains and operations.
Strategic design of agile supply chains has become more important than ever with the rapid advancement of technology.

Also, our expert faculty offer advanced knowledge in logistics, manufacturing, strategic sourcing and procurement, and project management.
Through a data-driven approach, you will be prepared to optimize business performance as buyers; inventory planning specialists; logistics engineers, and supply chain material or project specialists, among many more possibilities.
As a Supply Chain and Operations Management student, you will learn from the same world-class faculty who teach in our highly ranked master's program in Global Supply Chain Management. That program was named the #6 master’s program in supply chain management in the U.S. by QS.
Meet our Students: Mitchell Walbolt
Mitchell Walbolt’s coursework as a supply chain major has provided him with a strong foundation in analytics. Purdue’s business school firmly believes that learning by doing is most effective, and Mitchell has benefited from real-world experiences that enhanced his critical thinking skills.
His classes prepared him for his internships as an operations intern at GEODIS, a supply chain intern at Caterpillar, and a purchasing intern at Tesla. These internships have allowed him to understand what aspects of supply chain he is interested in so he can return to Purdue for his master’s and personalize his degree to fit those focus areas.
