Program Highlights

Students from SLC’s Supply Chain Management program have had the opportunity to participate in the SCMA Student Case Competition for several years. Working in a team, students explore a scenario pertaining to a supply chain problem. The teams develop recommendations based on their research, data analysis, and study of financial implications, and present their solution to a panel of industry and academic judges. The case competition allows students to enhance their academic skills by applying concepts, tools and techniques of supply chain and operations to solving a real world business problem.
