Is the MIT micro masters in supply chain management worth the time investment? What kind of audience is it targeted to - consultants / middle managers / ppmds / those who have never done supply chain?

It is rigorous coursework. More geared towards people who have been in the field for maybe 3-5 years.

It is SUPER technical. Will teach you a lot but with little applicability in consulting. I’d say it’s more geared towards IEs working in a DC/plant.

It’s all bloody algebra and complex formulae - v v hard

I was part of the first cohort to complete the entire program, including an on campus comprehensive final exam - the coursework was definitely rigorous, but I felt like the content and class support was of such high quality that it was worth the time investment. There are multiple supply chain masters programs that allow the credits to “transfer” (e.g. Arizona State, Ga Tech)

2nd year SC, expecting promo to M this year. Some portions are more useful than others (eg the supply chain analytics class) - I’d ballpark the time investment as 60 weeks @ 10hr/week....something thereabouts, depending on your proficiency with SQL, WolframAlpha, SAS, and other tools utilized throughout.

Lmao so useful. I did the full masters.
Have had set me up very well. Do I use the inventory planning equations? No, but knowing how inventory is planned helps me all the time on my engagements

MIT. Crushing it now. V good education

Should mention I kept all the coursework materials (8-10 massive binders with formulas, notes, and problem sets), textbooks, etc and still reference it regularly.

I have a few questions for people in consulting roles (both external/internal).

My partner is in corporate banking, but he wants to switch to a consulting/strategy-based role. I noticed people with those jobs typically have an MBA, and also majority of the job ads in similar roles has MBA as either a requirement or preferred qualification. So:

1) does MBA actually improve someone's chance in getting those roles?
2) are there any good Canadian MBA programs you'd recommend?

Thank you all!
