A nationwide partnership has established the National Center for Supply Chain Automation . The goal of the Center is to increase the number of qualified supply chain technicians to meet the growing national need across the private and public supply chains. The technologies used to support the nation's supply chain are becoming more advanced every day. These new technologies are being implemented to increase production, improve accuracy, and to meet the needs of the e-commerce revolution. The days of shipping full pallets of product to retail outlets are being replaced with single items shipped directly to the customer's door. This business model is creating new challenges for companies. High-tech inventory control systems and material handling equipment are needed. Ample workforce to maintain these new technologies does not currently exist. Academically STEM-prepared (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) students, with an interest in using technology are needed to address the growing demand for skilled supply chain technicians.
