Logistics and Supply Chain Management
Logistics & Supply Chain Management:
Nationally, the transportation industry projects a 5% to 8% growth rate through 2033 for L&SCM positions. Logisticians coordinate the movement of goods – acquiring, storing and transporting – along the supply chain to their final destination. Supply chain managers coordinate the flow of those goods while overseeing how products are created from raw materials to finished products. The supply chain – a network of entities and individuals – moves goods to a final destination.
