Good supply chain management keeps companies out of the headlines and away from expensive recalls and lawsuits. Supply chain managers work in a variety of industries including manufacturing, aerospace, defense, and energy. They work for both large and small companies.

A classic example of a supply chain manager's function might be finding the best price and quality for components in a consumer product like an iPhone. A supply chain manager can also oversee operations such as by managing processes for shipping and warehousing.

Because corporate headquarters, raw material sources, manufacturing, shipping, and consumers can all be in different countries or even continents, supply chain management often requires extensive travel and on-call hours to work among different time zones.
