This research focuses on supply chain mapping as a visual and analytical resource, examining the shortcomings in supply chain management (SCM) education at academic institutions. Despite its significant utility in practical applications, the technology is often overlooked in classroom settings. Through an analysis of current educational methods and an evaluation of the impact of integrating mapping techniques into SCM curricula, this study aims to bridge that gap. The paper identifies major obstacles to implementation and presents a comprehensive approach for incorporating supply chain mapping into academic programs via surveys, case studies, and assessments of curricula. The results underscore the importance of experiential learning, online resources, and faculty training in improving students' conceptual comprehension and practical skills within SCM education
