Canada’s supply chain enables over a trillion dollars’ worth of goods’ movement and is ranked among the top 20 nations in the World Bank Logistics Performance Index. The leading professional association for the discipline, Supply Chain Canada (SCC) covers the entire depth and breadth of supply chain such as: sourcing, logistics, inventory, transportation, distribution, operations, sustainability, replenishment, contract management, and service management.
Of SCC’s 7,500 nationwide members, over 20% belong to the Alberta chapter, known formally as the Alberta Institute (SCCAB). “The standard of living that we enjoy here is directly linked to the professional practice of supply chain management,” said Provincial SCC board member and one of the leaders of SCCAB, Stephanie Forbes. “This is extremely evident in Alberta.”
According to a recent Statistics Canada report, 55,000 new supply chain jobs will be required in Alberta by 2026. “We’re very fortunate the Alberta Institute has many industry, Government, and educational partners that truly support our vision, mission, values, and innovation,” she enthused. The provincial government is committed to working with SCCAB to make sure the base knowledge systems, people, processes, and technology are developed to help fill those jobs, she stressed. “Their support isn’t just important, it’s foundational.”
