COVID-19 kickstarted severe supply issues with shortages in toilet paper, cleaning supplies, and facial masks due to panic buying. Close to two years later, consumers still have problems purchasing select products as purchasing behavior has been harder to plan. With the holiday season approaching, experts have warned about shipping delays due to increased online consumption. Steven Carnovale, Ph.D. program director and assistant professor of supply chain management, has been a subject matter expert helping spread awareness of the supply chain crisis!

The past two years have proven that the supply chain is everchanging and increasingly more complex. This is one of the reasons Saunders recently revised its master of global supply chain management program. Revisions prepare students with strong analytical, quantitative, and leadership skills to design innovative solutions, predict future global trends, and become leaders in the fast-moving business landscapes in the worldwide supply chain system.
