Citation preview
Supply Chain’s Role in the Global MarketplaceWelcome to the inaugural issue of the
Supply Chain, Operations Management
& Business Statistics (SCOM) area news-
letter of the Sheldon B. Lubar School of
Business. This will be an annual publica-
tion to update UWM campus colleagues
and the business community on develop-
ments and achievements in the discipline
of supply chain management, which
comprises the sourcing, manufacturing,
and logistics functions of business.
These are challenging economic and
social times for Wisconsin and our na-
tion. In business, there is a long history
of strong manufacturing, logistics and
distribution in our state. With globaliza-
tion resulting in increased competition,
the demand for new knowledge and
well-qualified graduates in the area of
supply chain management has become
increasingly critical -- not only for
manufacturing companies, but also for
service-oriented companies in Wiscon-
sin and around the world. In this new
century, we will witness the outcomes
of designing, sourcing, producing, and
distributing products and services in
more globally dispersed contexts. It will
be especially revolutionary for firms that
have only recently entered the global
marketplace.
Over the last decade, business executives
and educators have been increasingly
reminded that designing, buying, sourc-
ing, making, delivering and supporting
innovative products and services requires
access to both a talent base, and cutting-
edge research and teaching. Several
major changes to the Lubar School’s
Supply Chain Management curriculum
are underway. It is anticipated that the
new major will be formally launched,
subject to final approval, beginning Fall
2012. However, we already began deliver-
ing much of the new course content
to SCOM majors during the past year.
Other courses are currently under devel-
opment and will be initially offered this
coming academic year.
One driving force behind the changes to
the major was the recent participation by
business community leaders in a curricu-
lum survey. The other driving force was
the Lubar School’s strategy to leverage
our strong connections to business as a
major metropolitan business school. As a
result, the new SCOM curriculum seeks
to produce graduates with an integrated
view of the purchasing, manufacturing
and logistics processes, an understand-
ing of the role of technology, and the
integrative skills to think globally and
act locally across all areas of business in
the public and private sectors. We strive
to make our graduates among the most
sought after professionals in the region.

2011–2012 Update
Lubar SCOM Students Team Up for APICS Competition
A team of Lubar
School supply
chain students trav-
elled to Chicago
in February to par-
ticipate in the an-
nual student case
competition hosted
by APICS (Advanc-
ing Productivity,
Innovation, and
Competitive Success). The Great Lakes District welcomed
over 30 teams to this year’s event. The Lubar School was rep-
resented by Adam Santella, Josh Madlung, Katie Risch, Nina
Zagar, Panhia Ly, James Tierney, and Julie Forsythe.
This year’s competition case focused on sustainability. Each
team was given 16 hours to prepare a formal analysis and
recommendation, and presented their findings to a panel of
industry judges. “Team Lubar” received honorable mention
for its analysis and presentation. Many thanks to the Milwau-
kee Chapter of APICS for providing partial support to the
Lubar students’ participation.
New FacesDr. Kaan Kuzu joined the faculty in 2010–11
as an Assistant Professor of Supply Chain &
Operations Management. Dr. Kuzu’s areas
of expertise include stochastic modeling of
service and manufacturing systems, queu-
ing theory, supply chain management,
behavioral research in operations, and
operations-marketing interfaces. He is a recent graduate of
the doctoral program in Supply Chain Management at The
Pennsylvania State University.
Also joining the faculty in this area is
Dr. Anthony D. Ross, who was appointed
as the first holder of the Rockwell Automa-
tion Endowed Chair in Supply Chain &
Operations Management. Dr. Ross focuses
on buyer-supplier relationships, supply
chain design, information technology in
the supply chain, and global logistics. He joined the supply
chain team after spending the last ten years at Michigan
State University. Previously, he spent five years at Texas A&M
University after earning his PhD from the Kelley School of
Business at Indiana University-Bloomington.
eNrOllMeNt UpdateThe growing importance of supply chain within industry has resulted
in the need for more highly qualified supply chain graduates. With
this increasing demand and a rigorous new curriculum, the Lubar
School’s enrollment in the SCOM major has seen steady increases
since the major was revised in 2007. The number of students majoring in supply chain management in Fall 2011 represents a 10% increase over last fall and a 46% increase over Fall 2007. The 202 students currently in the major
are comprised of 23% women students, 77% male students, and 14%
minority students.
“Our students recognize that there are great career opportunities as
companies increasingly compete through supply chain competences rather than simply through their products,” says Anthony D.
Ross, Rockwell Automation Endowed Chair in Supply Chain Management. Ross and the SCOM faculty have worked closely with
industry to build a highly-relevant curriculum that meets the needs of many sectors of industry.
