Team Case Analysis
The purpose of this assignment is to identify and apply SCM concepts/tools to solve problems in managing global supply chains. Students will be assigned to groups of 3 members randomly by the instructor.
As a team, you are expected to find an interesting SCM problem from the real business world, think about how you can apply the SCM concepts/tools that you learn in this course to solve the problem, and write up a report based on your analysis.
More specifically, each group should:
- Find a problem in managing global supply chains from the real business world (from work or from any business articles/cases)
- Identify specific SCM concepts/tools that can be applied to the problem
- Apply an appropriate SCM concept/tool or a set of appropriate SCM concepts/tools to propose a solution to the problem
- Analyze the expected results that may be obtained when the solution is implemented.
The report should be 8-10 pages in length including the cover and appendices, with 1" margins on all sides, double-spacing, and 12 point font. The cover of the report should include title, class code and name, section number, names of team members, and date of completion.
