SCM Planning Academy
Explore the function at the heart of today’s most critical systems transformations
The SCM Planning Academy is an 8-week program designed to provide managers, directors, and high-potential employees with a survey of end-to-end supply chain planning so they can deliver value through best practice execution.
Like its sister academies in end-to-end supply chain management and finance, this first-of-its-kind program draws upon UT’s engaging, interactive, and relevant supply chain curriculum as well as close relationships with peers and faculty to help participants make an impact in their organizations.
- Taught in a hybrid asynchronous and synchronous online format, the program allows working professionals to complete course material independently while synthesizing key takeaways live with expert faculty support
- Students analyze supply chain planning in their companies during the program to see how their decisions impact results
- The course culminates with a formal assessment, and participants are awarded CEUs and UT Certification upon completion.
- Interested in a Master’s in Supply Chain Management? The academy provides valuable class credits (3) to fast-track your path to UT’s MS SCM Online degree. Combine it with either the Leadership or Finance academies for three more credit hours!
