On November 26, 2018, nine students completed the Penn State Supply Chain Management Certificate program.
Eight of the students work at Mondelez International, and one student is an employee of Bridon-Bekaert. Both companies are located in Hanover Industrial Estates in Hanover Township, PA. This cohort began their work during the Spring 2017 semester.
This certificate program introduced participants to key concepts in the field, such as systems analysis, trade off analysis, transport systems, procurement, inventory management, and supply chain integration and strategy. The program also provided an overview of supply chain management in relation to the needs of manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, merchandisers, and e-commerce.
Pictured are Joseph Desmarteau, MBA, BS, CPIM (Instructor), Christopher Hulse (Mondelez, Swoyersville), Susan Mergo (Bridon-Bekaert, Plymouth), Lisa Rowski (Mondelez, Plymouth), Alison Lloyd (Mondelez, Dallas), Allison Kristofco (Mondelez, Kingston), Dawn Booth (Mondelez, Mountain Top), Farzana Nasir (Mondelez, Tobyhanna), Shakur Nasir (Mondelez, Tobyhanna), and Edwin Daveski, MBA, BS, CFPIM (Instructor).
A new Supply Chain Management Certificate program cohort is scheduled to begin on-site at Mondelez International in January 2019.
