The goals of the program reflect the general and specific goals of technical training. The Global supply Chain Management (ACS) program aims to enable students to develop the skills needed to work as a purchasing agent. Purchasing agents are responsible for sourcing at a company. Supply consists of the transportation of raw materials, components or finished products to the enterprise for its use, whether for the purpose of producing a new product, or for using them (a computer as a working tool, by example).

The program has been designed to equip future graduates to perform these tasks. Subsequently, during their program of study, students will develop job-search skills and adopt appropriate strategies for their insertion into employment by being in contact with the labor market through an internship. end of program. In short, more generally, they will also develop, through the concepts to which they will be exposed in class, the proposed learning activities and the internship, an appropriate behavior to the integration of the work functions targeted by the program.
The objective of this program is to enable students to acquire the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to perform the tasks assigned to purchasing agents.

This suggests that they will have to evaluate the needs of their enterprise with respect to the products and services envisaged; they will also have to establish delivery schedules, ensure the execution of delivery contracts and control the goods upon arrival.
Supply Chain also includes contract negotiation, inventory management and warehousing. Employees involved are now working with specialized software packages that are useful for many of the procurement dimensions, including inventory management, inventory movement, warehouse management, procurement planning and documentation (internal documents for the future). company, purchase orders sent to the supplier).
