Module 3 – SLP

Supply Chain Planning

In SLP 3, focus on supply chain management in your imaginary company.

Session Long Project

Using your fictitious company from the previous SLPs, continue to develop the company profile and operating information. This is a very open-ended SLP and it will give you an opportunity to expand your knowledge and allow you to use creativity in providing the solution to the challenges.

Identify how your company uses supply chain management. Successful supply chain management demands a high level of integration among various parts of the organizations. Develop integrated supply management strategy, including suppliers, internal supply chain, and customers. Articulate challenges and possible solutions.

This paper should be approximately 3–5 pages in length counting the introduction, body, and summary. Include references and cite them properly in the paper. Generally, at least three references should be used.
