SCMG607
Supply Chain Fieldwork Project
0.5 Credit

This project, done individually, requires students to provide their own SCM-related projects, usually at the firms where they work. Each student is also responsible for providing the contract (‘Memorandum of Understanding’ or MOU) and the non-disclosure agreement (NDA) to be signed by the course instructor and/or university, student, and client firm. These documents will define the project’s scope and deliverables, and ensure the student has access to necessary company data and personnel. Course requirements include: (i) weekly meetings with the instructor using Skype or similar software or in person, (ii) a final report to the instructor and the client firm, and (iii) a presentation to the client firm with the instructor attending. The client firm will provide input to the grading but faculty will assign the final grade. The course will begin with instruction in the basics of project management and presentation skills. Practical challenges to implementing change within the client firm will be emphasized, to avoid unrealistic recommendations.
