Further, the successful candidate will develop and enhance Katz's relationship with industry partners in supply chain and value chain management.  This will include developing opportunities and supervising students in industry and research projects.  Training and/or knowledge in Six Sigma processes, MRP/ERP/CRM technologies, and/or related certification procedures will be considered a plus.  Relevant professional certifications from organizations such as APICS, ISM, or IAOP are desired.
