JDA donates supply chain software
JDA Software, a provider of supply chain planning and execution solutions for retailers, manufacturers, logistics providers and wholesale distributors has donated two supply chain software programs to the Clayton State University. The donation consists of Warehouse Management System and Supply Chain Pro software systems, as part of JDA’s University Gifting Program.
Clayton State will be the first institution under the University System of Georgia to incorporate this software into the curriculum. The software programs will help close a gap identified by a number of recruiters and supply chain industry leaders who seek employees in neighboring states because of their exposure to supply chain technology in bachelors and master’s level degree programs.
The donation will give Clayton State a competitive advantage, training students who have a deep knowledge of the supply chain technology that drives efficiency and profitability.
The University Gifting Program was established to expose students at leading academic institutions to JDA’s industry leading solutions. When students receive real-world training using the very same tools used in the field today, they gain valuable knowledge and experiences that will set them on a path to career success after graduation. They are better able to understand concepts by applying and developing career skills they have studied in their supply chain texts. PAMELA MILLER FOR THE AJC
