We are under construction

The SCM Learning Center website is under active development. Most pages are live and viewable, though some registration and membership links are not yet active. We expect to be fully operational by late February 2026. In the meantime, explore our offerings and posted content to see what’s coming.  If you have a question or need to contact us at this time, please send me a email at jbmac@scmlearningcenter.com.  All the Best!

Build Applied Supply Chain Capability 

Applied, decision-based learning designed to help supply chain professionals make, explain, and own decisions under real-world constraints.

SCM Learning Center 


Where frameworks end, real capability begins. 

What SCM Learning Center Is—and Why It’s Different

How We’re Building SCM Learning Center

SCM Learning Center is built deliberately to ensure our eLearning holds up in real operations. Through a phased approach grounded in client feedback and real decision-making, every course is proven, refined, and designed for application before we scale.

Phase 1 —
Capability Foundation

2026
Launch with 4–6 Core Short Courses (2–4 hours each), expanding by adding two new short courses each month.

1st six months focuses on proof of concept, production optimization, and client feedback. 2nd half of year  refines delivery and expands team capacity to further enhance quality and consistency.
Focus: Applied execution and decision quality

Phase 2 —
Mastery & Decision Leadership

2027
Introduce advanced Mastery-level courses (4–6 hours) for senior mid-level managers and decision leaders.

Learning emphasizes cross-functional trade-offs, leadership accountability, and the ability to explain and defend decisions to finance and executives.

Focus: Decision leadership and judgment under pressure

Phase 3 —
Professional Learning Association

2028 & Beyond
Evolve into a for-profit, member-based professional learning organization supporting continuous capability development.
Learning shifts from episodic training to role-aligned pathways and ongoing capability refresh driven by real operational change.

Focus: End-to-end career-long capability development

Why SCM Learning Center Exists

Supply chain professionals are expected to make complex decisions every day—under uncertainty, cross-functional pressure, and real operational constraints.
Yet most supply chain education stops at frameworks, tools, and credentials.

SCM Learning Center exists to change that.

This directly mirrors your vision without overwhelming first-time visitors.

Focused, Capability-Based Learning

SCM Learning Center focuses on applied, decision-based learning—not topic coverage.
Our Short Courses are designed to build capability that holds up in the workplace, helping professionals make
and defend decisions under real operational constraints.
Our courses fall into these Capability Building Areas
  • Forecasting & Planning
  • Operations & Production
  • Risk & Resillience 
  • Inventory  
  • Warehousing & Transportation
  • Tech & AI
  • Supplier & Procurement 
  • Decisions & Analytics
  • Capability Performance 

Three Levels of Applied Learning

Our Short Courses are intentionally designed at three applied depths—so professionals can
enter at the right point without revisiting fundamentals.

Applied Essentials
Refresh and apply quickly

  • Brief, targeted refresh only where needed
  • Immediate application through guided exercises and scenarios
  • Designed to re-establish footing quickly and move into action
Core Applied
Solve real operational problems

  • Diagnose and solve real operational problems
  • Explicit trade-offs, constraints, and consequences
  • Primary depth for most Core Short Courses
Advanced Applied 
Navigate strategic & cross-functional decisions
  • Navigate complex, high-impact decisions
  • Financial, organizational, and cross-functional implications
  • Executive-level framing and defensibility
All Applied courses assume foundational knowledge and focus on performance at work—not concept instruction.

For Individuals  

Supply Chain Professionals

Designed for experienced supply chain professionals who want to improve how they make decisions—not just complete training.

Our Short Courses (2–4 hours) help you:
 • Strengthen judgment under real constraints
 • Make trade-offs explicit
 • Defend decisions involving service, cost, cash, and risk

Start with the problem you’re trying to solve.
You don’t need to follow a prescribed path.

 For Teams

Managers, Leaders, and Organizations

Helps organizations move beyond training activity to measurable capability improvement across planning, sourcing, and execution.

Our Short Courses can be deployed across teams to:
 • Align decision logic across roles
 • Reduce firefighting and escalation
 • Improve consistency in trade-offs and execution
 • Support performance initiatives tied to real KPIs

This is not one-size-fits-all training.
It’s capability alignment.

Why SCM Learning Center Is Different

  • Capability-based, not certification prep
  • Scenario-driven, not slide-based
  • Built for mid-level professionals and managers
  • Focused on trade-offs, constraints, and decisions
  • Designed for post-certification ongoing development

The Problem we solve

  • Knowing isn’t the same as deciding
  • Mid-level roles demand trade-offs and judgment
  • Most training stops at knowledge—not outcomes
