The company is to be an actual business (perhaps in the student’s geographic area or something they have purchased or used) either a product or a service with sales between $500,000 and $500 million. The purpose of the assignment is to have students show the entire supply chain (in graphics as well as an 8 – 12-page paper) of how materials are sourced, developed, built, packaged, stored, packaged, transported and stored and to develop the customer experience feedback loop.
