Certificate in Enterprise Systems and Supply Chain Management


This certificate is aimed at equipping students with the knowledge of key enterprise level Information Technology systems and Supply Chain practices used by companies around the world. There is an increasing need of graduates who are knowledgeable and can apply enterprise level systems in organizations. The field is continuously being updated with new technologies and practices that improve the management of a global supply chain to keep organizations competitive. Only knowing the concepts in this ever changing field is no longer sufficient. Acquiring hands on experience with enterprise level systems, such as SAP, will be necessary to meet the needs of students and businesses that will be hiring our students.

The courses are structured to provide extensive conceptual and applied information about enterprise level systems and supply chain management. The curriculum is jointly offered by the Decision Sciences and MIS faculty in the School of Business and the Industrial Engineering faculty in the College of Engineering.

  • DS 850 or IME 553 (Production Systems) or equivalent

As we face more global competition, knowledge and application of enterprise level systems and supply chain practices becomes increasingly important. Learning about the analysis, design, and usage of such systems will keep companies competitive. This is especially true for businesses in Wichita, KS with the large presence of the aircraft industry and other manufacturing operations. In addition, Wichita State University is the only university in Wichita that is a member of the SAP Alliance, allowing faculty to integrate SAP in their courses. SAP is the market leader in offering enterprise level systems, which is used by several companies in Wichita. Students completing three classes at WSU, each with approximately 30% content in SAP, may also receive an appropriately worded Certificate of Recognition from SAP.
