Supply Chain Consulting

Catalog description

This consulting course provides students a real-world opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills garnered throughout the MSSCM program. Various organizations have partnered with the Business School to work with supply chain related problems that these organizations are currently facing. In these organizations, students’ teams will work one day per week over the course of a semester. A typical team consists of six to eight students paired with one faculty team facilitator and a research assistant. Students would require operational and supply chain skills and other soft skills such as teamwork, leadership, and communications. Under the supervision of a faculty member, student groups will develop potential solutions to a given organizational problem. At the end of each semester the team will be required to author a report detailing their work and make a formal presentation summarizing that report.
