LETTER OF INTENT

In today’s competitive world where boundaries are disappearing because of globalization, businesses needs to
remain on their toes to maintain the uninterrupted supply of products in order to stay afloat. Supply Chain
Management was never as important in the past as it has become now as the manufacturing is also getting
concentrated in certain areas of the world and suppliers are enjoying monopolistic set-ups. The innovations
required in the field and the strategic implementation of the ideas stimulate my mind more than a sport or
movie. It is something that gives me immense pleasure and this made me determined to pursue my course in
the field of Supply Chain Management. Consequently, I applied for Post- Graduate Certificate of Supply Chain
Management.

This program is an eight month Ontario College Graduate Certificate designed for university and college
graduates looking for a career in logistics and the supply chain management sector. I will learn about
manufacturing operations, purchasing, transportation and physical distribution in private and public industry.

quality assurance and risk management, and value-added components to enhance global competitiveness.
