Successive crises have revealed the strategic and vital nature of procurement

A sector in full transformation and promising jobs on the labor market

In a globalized and competitive world, purchasing and supply chain management play a strategic role in the development of company performance. In fact, opportunities exist in all sectors of activity and whatever the size of the company.

The “Purchasing & Supply Chain Management” major is aimed at training all types of professionals in the field of purchasing and supply chain management, whether they are buyers, supply chain managers, stock managers, flow managers or demand planners.

The courses in this major are co-constructed with several companies in the distribution and logistics services, agri-food or pharmaceutical industry sectors such as Michelin, Limagrain, Flauraud, Joubert, UPSA or Eaton… In addition, many external speakers come to testify or teach during the year.

Purchasing & Supply Chain management

A major anchored in the real world

Teaching will be based on concrete company cases and practical exercises. The students build a real life international sourcing case in groups which allows them to put into practice the methods and tools they have studied in class. In a more theoretical way, students will be able to grasp the notions of sourcing policy, relocation, strategic or security stocks, risk management, etc.

The program is based on the standards developed by APICS, the world’s leading association in the field of supply chain management. In addition, this program is delivered 100% in English and allows students to acquire the level required to pass the CPIM certification exam, a certification which is recognized worldwide.

3 key points to remember:

A major taught 100% in English
Numerous practical cases and testimonials from high-level companies (including Michelin, Limagrain, Eaton, UPSA)
Preparation for the APICS “Basics of Supply Chain Management” certification, delivered by the ASCM (Association for Supply Chain Management)

What about tomorrow?

Opportunities exist and will exist in all sectors of activity and whatever the size of the company. The jobs targeted are very diverse: buyer, supply chain manager, procurement officer, stock manager, flow pilot or demand planner
