Supply Chain Technicianwww.supplychainautomation.com
A person who installs, operates, supports,upgrades or maintains the automated materialhandling equipment and systems that support
the supply chain.
NCSCA Objectives
I Implement model 2+2 SCA career pathways though highschool and community college partnerships nationally tomeet the need for educated technicians.
II Establish a national symposium for SCA stakeholders.
III Increase the number of individuals from under-representedgroups entering the field of SCA.
IV Disseminate deliverables and information to educators,industry and current and potential supply chain technicians.
V Establish and promote stackable national industrycertifications for SCA.

The Curse of Conditional Probability
Let A = event that prerequisite course is passedB = event that subsequent course is passed
P(A ∩ B) = P(A)× P(B |A)
Probability of Probability of passing prerequisitepassing both = ×courses Probability of passing subsequent
(given that you’ve passed prerequisite)
