Ryder Center for Supply Chain Management

The Ryder Center for Supply Chain Management was established with the goal of becoming a leading source for the creation and dissemination of knowledge in the science and practice of Supply Chain Management. With its multidisciplinary perspective, the center sees Supply Chain Management as the dynamic integration of enterprises and their suppliers and customers to determine, create, fulfill, and communicate value in the global environment.

Specifically, the Ryder Center for Supply Chain Management will bring together executives from leading corporations with FIU faculty and students to identify, document, research, develop and disseminate best practices in Supply Chain Management. Within that mission the center will:

• Educate FIU students to become future leaders in Supply Chain Management.
• Develop research to contribute to theory and practice of Supply Chain Management.
• Provide forums that help FIU’s business partners maintain their positions on the leading edge of Supply Chain Management best practices.
