How easy is it to switch to a career in supply chain when all my previous experience has been in manufacturing? Any suggestions on good supply chain courses at UW would be appreciated
Hey Rucha, I may be a little late on this one, but I’m a senior at UW in ISYE. I’m currently interning in supply chain at a large company and will be starting as a full time SC Analyst in May 2021. Unfortunately, there’s not really any great ISYE courses that deal with supply chain that run every semester or even every year. There are OTM classes in the business school but they don’t really appreciate engineering joining business classes and destroying the curve for all the business students (lol). Anyways, I’d say it’s quite easy to switch to Supply Chain even though you only have experience in manufacturing, especially if you’re already inside a company. I’ve noticed that large corporations have no problem with lateral movements between somewhat similar departments like SC and Ops/manufacturing.
