想了解一些美国供应链方面的情况

想了解一些美国供应链的情况，请大家帮忙。

1 据我了解，供应链主要是一些操作性的工作，有关分析方面的工作多吗？入门的门槛怎么样呢？

2 如果原来从事软件程序员，对于供应链方面的申请会是plus吗？对工作有帮助吗？

3 美国从事供应链的中国人主要做什么方面的工作呢？

4 一般硕士毕业的工资情况怎么样呢？

谢谢！！

It is a bit late to answer your question as I just found this forum.  If you are still around this forum, you can read my comment in this topic "有在美国念supply chain master的吗？"  You will find some answers to your questions.

There are a lot of analysis to do in SCM and logistics.  The idea of SCM, which logistics is part of the chain is to deliver the right products and services to the right customers at the right time, in the right quantity at the right price.  How can company do that?  There is a lot of analysis to do and then create business process improvement initiatives to make the flow better.  Depends on your position, your job may involve a lot of daily operation or a lot of analysis.

I think programmer can be a good fit for SCM as SCM depends heavily in IT as most analysis requires programs to run.  If you have system analysis or business program experience and you understand business users' need.  It will benefit you in job searching.  Of course, if you can get a MBA with SCM emphasis then it is even better.  Nevertheless, SCM MBA is not the best major to help you stay in the US.

Can't answer your 3rd question, too board. 

MBA graudate in good SCM B-school gets about US$80K a year.  However, as a foreign student, you will face many obsticles in job hunting especially in bad economic times like right now in the US.  So all I can say is good luck.  If you realy want to stay and work in the U.S., study Accounting and Finance or anything relate to health care such as nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, audiology, psychology.  With a master's degree in any of these health care profession you are guarantee with a good job and very good pay with green card and citizenship.  The best thing is that you don't deal with high stress at the job like people in business.  Hope these help. 

1，认识美国朋友当中，做供应链的朋友都是顾问。有些顾问是做分析的。门槛吗，要是名校毕业，聪明，交流能力强。

2，如果去供应链软件提供商的公司，IT经验会很有帮助。

3，同1

4，美国咨询顾问属于高薪行业。
