The Practicum
The culmination of the team-based approach to projects and problem solving occurs in the Supply Chain Management Practicum. During the semester-long practicum, students tackle real supply chain challenges within SCRC partner companies.
Students in this team-based project course work on a partner company's SCM issues. These projects are as varied in scope as are company's SC issues and improvement initiatives, but they will contain a specific, somewhat narrowly focused set of deliverables. Each semester we have a mix of projects that generally focus on supply chain relationships, physical flows or information flows while remaining integrated across the supply chain issue that faces the company. The scope of the projects is defined prior to or early in the semester. Background and objectives, key deliverables, milestones, and deadlines are established for the student teams. Students should expect to learn at two levels in the practicum:
- They will study technical supply chain issues particular to each project.
- They will learn the team-based, deadline-driven nature of supply chain initiatives in a real company setting.
