The purpose of the project is to demonstrate your depth of understanding of the

course concepts. This applications project will also help you to retain the key

material of this course for years to come.

This is an individual project.

Option #1:

Find a business who would like your help! This may be the company that you work

for or a company where you know a senior manager. Offer to conduct a Supply

Chain Management process assessment! The process is shown on Figure 13-3 in

our textbook - your responsibility will be to get through the Gap Analysis with

recommendations for improvements (note - there will not be time in this course to

actually implement your recommendations nor validate their successes!). See also

Figure 10-3 for details to prioritize your findings. For step #1, "Select Process", the

suggestion is to start with CRM or SRM with a customer or supplier with whom

the company is having problems or is expanding business. Any other process

would work well if there is a "burning bridge" problem that Supply Chain

Management could support. Note - you will need to start early on this! By the end

of Week One, you'll need firm commitment from the company's leadership, or

you'll have to default to Option #2 below. Should you gain approval, the sponsor

will need to quickly assign a team of experts and schedule two meetings below:

1- Review sub-processes (where you give a short training session on the

process selected), EXTRA CREDIT.

2- Assess performance (this can be done individually in a virtual survey--see

the appendices in your textbook).

NOTE: You will NOT have time for a consensus building session to discuss

scores and implementation ideas. Therefore, just present your average scores

and ranges with your recommendations to your sponsor.

Option #2

If you do not have access to a sponsor for data collection, contact your instructor

with the following:

1- Select your ideal company: provide name and product lines

2- Identify the supply chain process of greatest importance to your company

Your instructor will provide you a data set to analyze! You will also need to add your own "estimated assessment" as one additional participant in the assessment.

Your report will consist of:

1- All the materials you provided to the company,

2- All of the resulting assessments (should the sponsor allow confidential

viewing by your instructor, or a summary of the results, or a signed memo

from your sponsor stating what you accomplished),

3- A statement from your sponsor stating his/her impressions of your efforts,

and

4- A formal report:

a. Executive Summary (in lieu of Abstract)

b. Introduction of your project, company and SCM process (1-2

pages)

c. Summary of your actions with the client (minimum 1 page) -

NOT applicable for Option #2 (simulated data)

d. Your analysis to include Prioritized assessment results

(minimum 2 pages with tables/charts)

e. Recommendations to the company with supporting details

(minimum 2 pages)

f. Lessons that you learned through the project

g. Conclusion (summary of key findings for action)

h. References
