The university is named Viterbo for the 13th century Franciscan, St. Rose of Viterbo, Italy. The university has evolved from a normal school to a four-year liberal arts university with master’s programs in education, nursing, business administration, servant leadership, and mental health counseling. Collegiate courses were introduced in 1923 and steps were taken toward the development of a regular four-year college program. By 1931–32, St. Rose Junior College had been formally established and approved by the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Further development followed, and by 1939 the college was approved as a four-year, degree-granting institution for the preparation of teachers for elementary schools. In 1937 as plans were being made for the construction of a college building, located across the street from the convent, the name was changed from St. Rose College to Viterbo College (one final name change was to occur in 2000 when Viterbo changed its status from college to university). Lay women were admitted in 1943; in 1970 men were admitted. In the 1950s, Viterbo University expanded its program in the liberal arts and in the preparation of teachers for secondary schools. In 1952, this program received the approval of the University of Wisconsin Committee on College Accreditation. With its status as a four-year liberal arts college achieved, Viterbo University sought accreditation by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education. Both were granted in 1954. Accreditation by both associations has regularly been re-confirmed. The university began offering graduate education courses for teachers in 1973. An accredited Master of Arts in Education program was introduced in 1987. In 1998, the university received approval to offer a Master of Science in Nursing. In 2001, a Master of Arts in Servant Leadership was approved, followed in two years by the Master of Business Administration. The Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling was approved in 2011.

  • SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT Executive Education OVERVIEW Why Are Some Supply Chains More Competitive Than Others?
    SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT Executive Education OVERVIEW Why Are Some Supply Chains More Competitive Than Others? Supply chain is not another business function. Rather, it is a business philosophy that views business as a system whose individual components must be synchronized to achieve its stated business objectives. Just as there are physical laws to govern how nature works, there are laws that govern how integrated supply chain systems must operate and perform. Despite this, organizations often attempt to violate these laws implicitly through inconsistencies in customer service objectives, corporate strategy and operational capabilities. For these reasons, many firms have failed to realize the anticipated benefits and the return on investment of supply chain improvement projects. Does Your Supply Chain Suffer From Any of These Symptoms? • Poor on-time delivery • Poor capacity and labor utilization • Too much or too little inventory • Frequent last-minute changes to schedules • Long and variable lead times • Unreliable material availability • High manufacturing and logistics costs • Unpredictable profit plans • Incessant expediting and overtime • Siloed decision making Our supply chain management program is designed to provide practical and actionable solutions to correct the problem and to avoid sophisticated solutions to wrong problem. 2 IT IS RECOMMENDED SUPPLY CHAIN THIS MODULE BE LEADERSHIP COMPLETED FIRST! Common senior leadership driven objectives of 98 percent on-time customer service, 95 percent TARGETED ISSUES capacity of utilization, and 10 days of inventory may not only be challenging, but may be infeasible for the Risk and Uncertainty Management organization to achieve, given the characteristics of the manufacturing and distribution system. Learn how Inventory Optimization to quantify these trade-offs, set feasible objectives, minimize total supply chain cost and improve the Performance Metrics likelihood of achieving your plan.
