藍色供應鏈管理商的搖籃 What is Department of Supply Chain Management ?

DHL Supply Chain於2017年委託Iharrington group LLC及美國麻里蘭大學針對全球供應鏈的人才供需狀況進行調查，針對350位以上的全球供應鏈及作業專家諮詢意見，新近公佈的調查報告(The Supply Chain Talent Shortage: From Gap To Crisis)，顯示全球供應鏈產業正面臨人才短缺，這種短缺現況已經從斷層演變到危機，領先的企業瞭解他們必需採取行動來解決這種情況，否則將來會面臨使用不稱職的人來管理供應鏈的後果，其潛在問題令人擔憂，特別是在某些行業，供應鏈人才斷層可能威脅其中企業的全球競爭力。

In 2017, DHL Supply Chain commissioned Iharrington group LLC and the University of Maryland to conduct a survey on the supply and demand of talents in the global supply chain. Based on the consultation opinions of more than 350 global supply chain and operation experts, the newly released survey report (The Supply Chain Talent Shortage: From Gap To Crisis), showing that the global supply chain industry is facing a talent shortage. This shortage situation has evolved from a fault to a crisis. Leading companies understand that they must take action to solve this situation, or face the use of incompetent personnel in the future. The consequences of using more people to manage the supply chain are worrying potential problems, especially in certain industries, where supply chain talent gaps may threaten the global competitiveness of companies in them.

教育目標 Education Goal Setting

本系因應工業4.0與供應鏈競爭時代的發展趨勢，設定的教育目標有兩個：

1.培養供應鏈管理人才，強調商流、資訊流、金流及物流等供應鏈四流的整合，提升產業的後勤競爭優勢。

2.發展具有海洋特色的水產品供應鏈、綠色供應鏈及緊急運籌，強調跨組織合作，協助台灣傳統產業的供應鏈發展與管理。

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 goods flow to increase/enhance logistics competence advantages in Taiwan industries. Second, to develop seafood supply chain, green logistics, and emergency logistics that will benefit Taiwanese traditional industries in supply chain development and management.

發展重點與學生就業市場 The Focuses and Job Markets

落實產學合作的理念，持續進行課程再設計，透過專題研究領域的設定與實習，培育業界所需的供應鏈管理專業人才，在企業集團推動跨組織合作。強調海洋特色，發展水產品供應鏈、綠色供應鏈及緊急運籌，學生可以自行創業或協助台灣傳統產業(小農或代工廠商)的供應鏈發展，活用工業4.0的現代化科技，成為供應鏈管理商的搖籃。
