Supply Chain Standards Minor Program
The resilience of the supply chain and logistics is becoming extremely critical under unprecedented and extraordinary situations, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Applying national and international standards in the design and operation of supply chain and logistics is one of the key solutions to improve its safety and resilience. With the collaboration between TAMUK College of Engineering and College of Business, an undergraduate minor program on Supply Chain Management and Logistics Standards and Standardization is developed to strengthen the education and knowledge of engineering and business students about supply chain management (SCM) and logistics standards. Currently, there is no similar minor program is offered in the state and nation. However, the importance and feasibility of the program have been supported by NIST through a recent grant award.
