Mostly basic math. Demand planning, forecasting and logistics requires some simple math. If you're good at Excel, then you're set.

You generally need to be able to do some modeling, statistics, logic, and arithmetic but the last one is easy...interested to know what your education history is/degree or certs etc.

You just need basic arithmetic to succeed, but your excel and data visualization skills need to be at minimum intermediate.

Basic math, to be honest. You'll have an edge if you know mathematical modeling, statistics and probability. You don't have to be very good at math to be able to land a job in SCM.

As stated above, it would be mostly basic. But you need to have a good foundation like arithmetic. statistics and logic. You can even learn the others along the way.

I have been looking at the curriculums for Harvard Business School's Master of Business Administration and Harvard Extension School's Master's in Management. They both have the same requirements, generally speaking, including a field immersion course that serves as a capstone in the Master's in Management, which is fairly new. If I am not able to gain admission to Harvard Business School, but wanted a similar educational experience to become a consultant, should I attend Harvard Extension?
