        The new graduate program offers courses that cover strategy, planning and operations. Its based on a holistic approach to supply chain education, he said. Another highlight of Auburns M.S. in Supply Chain Management degree is the professional diversity of our faculty that allows us to provide a broad curricular coverage of the supply chain discipline from sourcing to manufacturing, distribution, transportation and order fulfillment.

        Ishfaq noted that Auburns graduate supply chain education goes beyond the basic understanding of the principles and fundamentals of the discipline. It exposes students to complexities often faced by mid-level and senior managers beyond the daily grind of running a company.

        It's about strategizing. It's about planning and getting a feel for how one would handle these complexities. Not just for today's supply chain but for the future supply chains as well, he said.
