How do you help students see the cross-functional nature of processes and tie the concepts together?

  • Supply Chain Roadmap
    • This process model provides a guiding framework to help students learn the decision involved in designing supply chain strategy.
    • The Roadmap helps students understand the cross-functional nature of business, and ties together the material in all chapters.
    • This feature is supported by a running Opening Story in the beginning of each chapter.
  • Chapter Layout
    • This layout follows and reinforces the integral Supply Chain Roadmap theme throughout.
    • The material is divided into three main sections: each consists of five chapters, which are strategically grouped together to easily allow the tying of concepts together.
    • The chapters can be used selectively to support teaching objectives, curriculum design, and student background.

Do you use real world examples to showcase the decisions managers make in implementing good supply chain strategy?

  • Real-world, Global Examples.
    • Textual material is demonstrated through the discussion of modern, relatable corporations.
  • Running Opening Story.
    • At the beginning of each chapter, these vignettes help students see the challenges managers face as they seek to implement a winning supply chain strategy.
  • End-of-Chapter Cases.
    • These cases highlight critical strategic decisions, practices and tools required to achieve supply chain success.

Do students need some review of quantitative techniques?

  • Quantitative Supplements.
    • Available at the end of select chapters, these supplements help students learn and review basic tools that are used in day-to-day decision-making.   
    • Supplemental problems and suggested Web exercises reinforce quantitative learning.
    • These sections enable professors to tailor their course for either a more strategic or analytical approach to SCM learning.
