Supply Chain Manager/Professional could be a Project Manager for expansion or any technological project, even doesn't have the engineer qualification?

Usually we consider engineering back ground or qualification holder person as a project manager. As per my opinion Supply Chain Professional have the capabilities or on hand exposure to look after such project successfully, what do you say, if I am correct.

Supply Chain is a multi disciplinary stream but project management is a stream which needs knowledge of module taught in PMI Project Management certification or Prince2 certification. Engineers are expected to have knowledge of various mathematical models and their applications. So they are prefered for large scale SCM transformation projects.

Project management can also be done by Supply Chain professional, as this job is a interdisciplinery affair and also heavily dependent on the inbound logistics and operations management.
