The purpose of the Discussion Board is to allow students to learn through sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content and the DB question. Because it is not possible to engage in two-way dialogue after a conversation has ended, no posts to the DB will be accepted after the end of each unit.

Think about the firm where you work or your previous place of employment. 

• Explain the supply chain in the firm.
  • Provide details of the linkages from suppliers to customers.
• Did the firm use responsiveness in the supply chain to gain a competitive advantage? Why or why not?
• In general, how do you think management can use the supply chain to gain competitive advantage?
  • Address the following functions of management:
    • Plan
    • Source
    • Make
    • Deliver
    • Return

In your own words, please post a response to the Discussion Board and comment on at least two other postings. You will be graded on the quality of your postings.

For assistance with your assignment, please use your text, Web resources, and all course materials.
