Find an operations-based company you are familiar with and research it’s use of suppliers. First, take a look at what companies have already been reported on and try not to duplicate what someone else has analyzed.
Evaluate operations management and explain it’s role in the Supply Chain network.
Then research whether your chosen company makes any of it’s own products, or does it outsource all or most of it’s components and finished products.
Where does it source, internationally or domestically? See if you can get a macro-picture to report to the class regarding this company’s products and how it uses a supply chain to source components and/or finished products.
