Justin Baker, Chippewa Valley Technical Collegeâs Supply Chain Management instructor and program director, realizes many people have little idea what the âsupply chainâ term means, even as the 2-year-old program graduates its first class of students May 21.
âPeople are learning about supply chain. They may not have thought about it until they ran out of toilet paper,â he said, recalling the shortage during the early days of the pandemic. The shortage, industry analysts said, had more to do with supply chain than hoarding.
Local market demand drove CVTCâs decision to start Supply Chain Management. While many people are working in related areas like purchasing and inventory control, businesses need people who can manage the logistics involved in the entire supply chain process, according to Baker.
