SCM Industry Advisory Board



The Supply Chain Management (SCM) Industry Advisory Board (IAB) nurtures a mutually beneficial intellectual exchange of ideas between university scholars and their knowledgeable counterparts in industry.

The IAB provides input to and feedback on current and future supply chain programs to ensure knowledge, skills and abilities acquired by program graduates meet marketplace demand. IAB participants have an opportunity to assume a leadership role in the recruiting and hiring of UT Dallas SCM students and have an opportunity to network with other SCM executives.

Industry advisory board members have build close relationships with our SCM programs. Their primary function is to advise and assist our SCM faculty in terms of curriculum innovation, job placement, and program promotion. They also:

  • Provide guidance on SCM curriculum and program
  • Provide feedback on SCM initiatives
  • Provide internships to supply chain students
  • Hire our SCM students
  • Provide financial support for scholarships
  • Provide guest speakers on a regular basis
  • Provide real-world SCM projects to students
  • Provide research opportunities
  • Participate in mentoring students and shadow programs
  • Host plant and facility visits
