The Center for Supply Chain Management at CMU which was established  in 2002 is a valuable statewide business resource for applied research, industry information, and professional services related to supply chain management.

      This innovative center links faculty and students from business and engineering for conducting research, consulting, and  training along the supply chain in Michigan's various industries. Using faculty expertise and leadership as well as the intellectual contributions of students, the Center provides  a win-win situation for all. Business receive low-cost research and experiences are enhanced, and faculty members become more aware of current issues facing practitioners.

      The Center benefits the State of Michigan and the University. The  regional development of supply chain management programs is  consistent  with both Michigan's economic objectives and CMU's educational goals.
