                              Case Studies for in Supply Chain Management

Background

One of the common methods used by instructors teaching Industrial Engineering students concepts of supply chain management is case study reviews of previous business situations.  A challenge of this method is that the students only have access to information written on the page and can not find out more information about a previous situation.

Purpose (Hypothesis)

Gathering data through asking appropriate questions and discussing concepts directly with mentors experienced and working currently in various roles of supply chain management is possibly a good alternative to the case study approach.  The research will evaluate how the students in an Integrated Systems and Engineering course evaluate their experience in working directly with external mentors to learn how they apply concepts in their business model.  The research will also evaluate how the external business mentors evaluate their experience in working with these small student teams.  

Design/Method

A survey will be administered to student groups to determine the effectiveness of this method as well as determine what can be done to improve the method for future courses.  A different survey will be administered to the mentors to determine their opinion of the effectiveness of this method as well as determine what can be done to improve this program for the future courses. 

Results

This course and survey have not been completed.  The course is in the first semester of being conducted.  

Conclusion

This course and survey have not been completed.  The course is in the first semester of being conducted.
