Jeezus. You got into MIT and did SCM?

SCM from MIT, joined ATK. Very happy here. Constantly staffed, feel like I've got good choice of projects, currently hopping around the world with my client. Spain, Switzerland, China, Brazil in the next month.

We do Supply Chain casework, and I think SCM folks join as senior associates (will be promoted to consultant in 6-9 months)

It varies a lot OP by functional area or what we call sub-service lines at D:
1. Sourcing and Procurement
2. Planning
3. Logistics & Distribution
4. Network Strategy
5. Manufacturing
6. Supply Chain Startegy

I've mostly worked in L&D and network optimisation. With the booming e-com retail channel and the introduction of IoT tech in the warehouses, the demand for L&D expertise is growing tremendously. I've worked in Europe, South America and obviously North America, which is quite a feat at D since our global staffing model is piss poor.

Work is either of strategic nature (operational assessments, future-state network designs, automation vendor selection, block layout designs, etc.) or purely implementation (DC, WMS, TMS, OMS, planning program, etc.)

It's a very intellectually challenging field and most of my colleagues are engineers (not that it counts for anything).

We're also part of S&O, minus the douchey attitude, and we often collaborate with Monitor, Deloitte Digital or any of our tech practices.

Hope this helps.

EY how did you enjoy the program? Thinking of doing it, seems very interesting

@BCG, from what I know it is intense as it is a 10-12 month course. How are BCGs supply chain options?

@D1, what is the work like in SCM?

Also interested in the program! Did you do the entire program on campus OP?
