Supply-chain Industry and Distribution Organization (SIDO)

Student Organization for Logistics Technology

Overview

The Supply-chain Industry and Distribution Organization (SIDO) was established in order to promote involvement between logistics students, the college of Technology, and industry professionals. The goal of SIDO is to enable the student to have greater connections to the supply chain industry and gain a better understanding of the world of logistics technology, especially through interaction with Houston-area logistic professionals and organizations.

Through SIDO, students gain a greater exposure to the basic principles of physical distribution, logistics, traffic and transportation, industrial marketing, communication strategies in advertising, industrial sales, consumer sales, transportation, quality control, operations control, and purchasing/procurement. These are the same principles that are covered in the undergraduate and graduate Logistics Technology Program.

SIDO is dedicated to promoting:

• The University of Houston, the College of Technology, and the Logistics Technology Program
• Interaction between students and the logistics industry
• Academic life
• Academic and social events
