The purpose of the Discussion Board is to allow students to learn through sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content and the DB question. Because it is not possible to engage in two-way dialogue after a conversation has ended, no posts to the DB will be accepted after the end of each unit.
The obstacles to good supply chain management are described in the course materials and other resources.
Assignment:
- Rank, in order, the following previously listed obstacles from the greatest to the least significant:
- more demanding customers
- shorter product lifecycles
- globalization
- increase in product type, customization, and variety
- Justify why you ranked your first and last choices.
- Do you see any other obstacles to supply chain management?
In your own words, please post a response to the Discussion Board and comment on at least 2 other postings. You will be graded on the quality of your postings.
