Project: SCM Integration and Final Report
· Simulate your product’s supply chain and examine various scenarios using your integrated software.
· Align and integrate your high-level strategies with the detailed implementations of each driver.
· Develop the proper SC management guidelines for your firm’s products, as well as a user’s manual for your software module.
· Create an outline of the final report, and then compile the final report. The final report should include a table of contents, a 1-2 page meaningful executive summary up-front, an introduction, and a conclusion/lessons learned section at the end. The final report should also include the project activity sheets for all the team meetings on each phase of the project.
· Each team member must create a very specific 1-2 page “write-up” for the final report clearly explaining her/his “aggregated” contribution to the project over the course of the quarter, in particular, but not limited to, the following issues: high-level objectives of your particular work on the project, your work-plan/work-process; implementation details; results; conclusions; connection to other parts of the project. This explanation will be an important part of the individual’s project grade.
· Final Project Report is due on Thursday, March 12, or Tuesday, March 17, or Thursday, March 19, 2020.
