Tan Miller, director and associate professor of the Global Supply Chain Management program at Rider University

LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ (09/19/2012)(readMedia)-- As a member of the Materials Handling & Logistics Editorial Advisory Board, Tan Miller of Morris Plains, N.J., director and associate professor of the Global Supply Chain Management program at Rider University, recently participated in a roundtable discussion in Cleveland. Miller and his fellow Board members discussed current and future supply chain issues.

Portions of the roundtable discussion were published in the September issue of Materials Handling & Logistics. In the article, Miller discussed the importance of incorporating real world experience into the academic curriculum of supply chain programs. At Rider, Miller explained, Global Supply Chain majors are required to participate in a co-op.

"The way to get hired out of college into a supply chain organization is typically to complete a co-op, do a good job, and that leads to an offer," said Miller in a quote in the article.

Miller is also a faculty member for Global Trade Academy, an advanced resource for international supply chain management programs, for all levels of a corporation. He is also a member of several supply chain professional associations including Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals and The Association for Operations Management.

Miller has more than 20 years experience in private industry working in management, operations, planning and consulting positions in distribution, manufacturing, logistics and demand management. Prior to Rider, Miller served as the regional director/team leader of Distribution for Johnson & Johnson Company, and senior director/team leader of Consumer Healthcare Logistics for Pfizer/Warner-Lambert Company.
