Leaders in Logistics

SCL's Premier Industry Research Program
Member companies collaborate with Georgia Tech Faculty/ Graduate Students on research problems of mutual interest
Annual Membership includes research project and education/outreach activities
Promotes broader relationships between member companies and Georgia Tech

Mission

SCL seeks active collaboration with the supply chain and logistics industry community in all of its research, education and outreach programs. These industry relationships are largely channeled through Leaders in Logistics membership. More than 30 business and government organizations have participated in Leaders in Logistic over the past ten years. Each member company provides an annual contribution to support SCL's research, education and outreach programs. These funds are used for:

In-context research (providing new knowledge, tools, and insights related to the immediate interest of individual member companies)
Generic / collaborative research (motivated by in-context research, but oriented toward creating new knowledge and tools of long-term interest to the logistics community)

SCL also involves Leaders in Logistics member company representatives in a wide range of other SCL activities. These may include membership in Supply Chain Executive Forum and complimentary Seats in SCL Professional Education programs. To meet member company's specific needs, SCL may also assist with recruiting, jointly organize industry conferences and provide opportunities for company presentations/tours during SCL professional education programs.
