Supply Chain Managers

Supply chain managers work in offices in corporations and manufacturing companies. They spend part of their work day on the computer, using spreadsheets and tracking schedules and inventory sheets. They also spend a percentage of their day e-mailing and speaking with suppliers, warehouse managers, and other department managers. Their work schedule is generally business hours during weekdays, but there may be times when they need to work evenings, weekends, and sometimes holidays to make sure production process deadlines are met.
