Transportation / Operations / Supply Chain

Welcome to Fordham University Gabelli School of Business’ Transportation/Operations/Supply Chain Community! Here you’ll find resources such as blogs, events, and resources specific to Transportation, Operations, and Supply Chain to help you embrace your career and academic journey and explore Fordham’s career resources in one central space.

The scope of supply chain management and operations is very broad, and no two companies necessarily have the same approach to it. Therefore, there are not really defined supply chain career paths—but this also means your education and experience can take you anywhere.

Logistics is an industry that plays a massive role in our economy. By 2045, total freight is projected to reach 27 billion tons while the value is expected to grow to $38 trillion, showing the sheer magnitude of this important, yet often overlooked, industry.

Basically, if an organization makes something, or sells something another organization makes, they need logistics professionals to ensure their operations keep on running smoothly.
