What Department of

Supply Chain Management Is

For the industries in the age of Industry 4.0, the issue of talent shortage is quite prevalent in the field of supply chain
management. Many companies have made progress in tackling this problem, but there is still a long way to go. The
supply chain sector is facing a talent shortage that is quickly escalating into a potential crisis. The U.S. Bureau of
Labor Statistics report that the jobs in logistics are estimated to grow by 26 % between 2010 and 2020, while one
global study estimates that the demand for supply chain professionals exceeds supply by a ratio of 6 to 1. This shows
that supply chain management will be very important in the future.

Education Goal Setting
To adapt to the current situation of emerging supply chain competence and Industry 4.0, our department has
established two major educational goals. The first goal is to educate students on the integration of business flow,
information flow, money flow, and physical flow between supply end and demand end to increase/enhance logistics
competence advantages in Taiwan industries. Second, to develop seafood supply chain, green logistics, and
emergency logistics that will benefit marine and local industries in supply chain development and management.

The Framework of
Supply Chain Management

The Job Markets and Future Plan
The incorporation of academic research and practical internship into the course curriculum allows students to develop
professional skills in supply chain management. In addition to supply chain manager, the students will be able to
apply advanced Industry 4.0 technologies to assist the traditional businesses in development of supply chain
management, and/or to start new businesses. It is intended to cut into the core of the global and marine supply chain,
and conform to the development trend of the global industrial supply chain, and integrate the supply chain of business
flow, information flow, money flow, goods flow and so on.
