Instructor: Dave Widdifield Office: Fisher Hall Rm 510Email: [email protected] Office Phone (614) 292-2757Class Room: SB 330 Meeting Days: Tues/ThursMeeting Time: 8:00am-9:20am Office Hours: By Appointment

Course Description

The primary objectives of Logistics Decision Making are to consolidate and expand on students’ previous coursework and help them understand how the decision making process is used to implement logistics in a corporate setting. The course strongly emphasizes critical thinking skills necessary for solution development by employing individual and team business case analysis method as well a required course project focused on the “real world” supply chain decisions and strategies used companies. A secondary objective of the course is to introduce students to leading supply chain management theory and it economic impacts at the local and global level.

Course Text

The course text consists of select Harvard Business School (HBS) cases available for purchase at UniPrint. Additional articles selected from industry periodicals will be used to supplement lectures and case discussion. These will be posted to Carmen 12 hours prior to class by day/week.

Course Overview: Cases Analysis, Course Project, Guest Speakers, and Site Tours

Case analysis: During the quarter, we will discuss and analyze 11 HBS cases covering key industry issues in supply chain management. One additional individual case analysis will serve as the course’s final examination. The cases selected for the class represent a variety of current industry subjects focusing on logistics/supply chain decision making dimensions such as; operational (tactical) vs. strategic, supplier vs. customer, domestic vs. international, and how they impact logistics in the area of; ecommerce operations, product recall, reverse logistics, supplier relationships, and sustainability. Students will self selected a case analysis team of not more than 4 members. Next, the teams will choose one of the 11 HBS cases for analysis and presentation to the class (see pg 2-4). Prior to the class or team case discussion, a case reading quiz will be conducted to the class for completion by all students. Team presentations will last approximately 25 to 30 minutes with a follow-on class discussion of the case to address ideas, opinions, or theories not covered in the team presentation.

Course Project: In addition to the case analysis, student teams will select a course project for analysis and presentation to the class. Students will select one of the two course projects; 1) a supply chain topic “white paper” option exploring a current supply chain issue, practice, trend, etc or 2) a company supply chain operational review and analysis (see pg 4-6). These projects allow students the opportunity to “dig” into an industry related logistics/supply chain topic to discover how they impact businesses and their customers

Course Overview: Cases Analysis, Course Project, Guest Speakers, and Site Tours (cont’d)

Guest Speakers & Site Tours: We will have the opportunity to host senior supply chain managers during our lectures to discuss issues and opportunities in business today and how their companies are preparing to meet them. Additionally, we will visit local area logistics operations to “see and feel” how these capabilities are developed, implemented, and modified to meet the challenges of their market. It is imperative that you attend all guest speaker events and site visits as they will help you develop your decision making skills and more importantly business understanding. Due to the importance of these events to the class, there are no makeup assignments should you miss one of these events. These events will count for 90 points towards your final grade.

Overall success in this course consists of thorough case analysis and presentation using the business and logistics management principles and theories discussed in this and previous classes or professional experience. Classroom case analysis and presentation is exceedingly important in replicating the type of environment student will experience when entering the workforce. Criteria for course success are measured using the following activities;

(1) Case issues/topic summaries (not to exceed 1 page of 2-3 paragraphs) on a relevant industry topic presented in the case. The top 10 of11 grades will be counted.

(2) Submission of case write-up for grading during the semester (see page 4-5 for details).(3) Class participation grade and peer assessment.(4) Examinations, the midterm will cover logistics management lectures and the final is a take home case analysis.(5) Group project covering logistics decision making in industry.(6) Guest speaker and industry visit participation.

A) Cases: Analysis, Discussion, and Presentation

1. Case Preparation

Cases are assigned on a “first come-first served” basis; teams are encouraged to select a specific case immediately following team formation. When preparing to analyze and present a case to the class, the below outline can be used for your team’s analysis, write-up, and presentation. This outline ensures your team is familiar with all facts of the case as well any external data used for the analysis.

Team Analysis Outline:1. Who is the main protagonist in this case?2. What are the decisions to be made in this case?

Decisions arise from either problems or opportunities faced by the firm. What are the problems and opportunities in this case?

Are there different short and long term decisions to be made? Does the case state corporate goals?

3. Who is responsible for making the decision?4. Who else has input in making the above decisions? Is their perspective in any way different

from the main protagonist and the decision maker?5. What is the context within which the decisions will be made? Identify important facts related

to: The company The industry


ML 5389 (8592) Fall 2012

Customers Suppliers Business environment (state of the economy, regulation, the natural environment,

etc.)Team Analysis Outline (cont’d):

6. What questions need to be answered before a decision is made? What do you need to know?

7. Develop alternatives to the decisions to be made. What logistics concepts and tools could be helpful in this situation?

8. How would each alternative be implemented? Who benefits and who is hindered if the alternative is selected? How are they likely to react? How do you deal with the interested parties?

9. Make and justify a decision.

The preceding team analysis outline can be used on all the cases selected for the course; however, some will have explicit questions to be answered at the conclusion of the case. For cases with explicit questions the student team must answer each completely using data from the case as well as any external source used. This ensures the creditability and reliability of the answer developed.

2. Case Presentation: Write-Up

Student teams of 4 members will analyze and submit a written case analysis. These write-ups will include elements found in the Team Analysis Outline section above as well as providing answers to either the implied (“what-if”) or expressed case questions at the end of the case. Each team will submit a hard copy of the case write-up at the beginning of class on the date we will discuss the case. Additionally, soft copies of the write-ups will need to be uploaded to the Carmen dropbox not later than 11:59pm on the day the case is discussed in the class. Late cases will not be accepted for credit. The case write-up is not to exceed 4 typewritten pages for the team response. Additional pages may be added for appendix, bibliography, figures, or tables.

When developing your write-up, your decision must be stated clearly in the first paragraph of the write-up. Any responses failing to meet this requirement may incur up to a 20 point deduction. It is important to adhere to the page limitation makes it necessary that you restrict the write-up to the facts and issues that you judge most important as opposed to the more extensive analysis done in preparation for class. Please do not repeat the facts of the case. The team’s write-up will account for 60 points towards the final grade.

3. Case Presentation: Student Team

Student team cases analysis will also include a 30-35 minute in-class presentation outlining their analysis. Each team will present their case analysis outline as well as any external data used for the assignment. External data can include academic articles, industry journals, periodicals, personal interviews, videos, or other sources of relevant information. Any questions regarding the validity of external data need to be submitted to the instructor prior to use. The objective of this presentation is to share with the facts of the case and the team’s conclusion for further class discussion. The expected deliverable a hard copy of the MS PowerPoint slide deck


ML 5389 (8592) Fall 2012

submitted at the beginning of the class the date the case is to be discussed. Additionally, soft copies of the MS PowerPoint presentations will need to be uploaded to the Carmen dropbox not later than 11:59pm the day the case is discussed. The team’s presentation will account for 60 points towards the final grade.


ML 5389 (8592) Fall 2012

4. Class Discussion

All members of the class will participate in the discussion of each case reviewing the case details, external data or issues relevant to the case, questions, and possible solutions. Additionally, students or the instructor may introduce other industry related questions which are not part of the case during this period. The objective of the meeting is not to form a group decision or consensus, but that case details, presented and implied questions, as well as the different perspectives of the class are addressed. These discussions will last approximately 20-25 minutes and all class members (including the instructor) are expected to contribute.

5. Class Case Issue/Topic Summary

Each case selected for the class represents some of the most relevant supply chain issue/topics facing businesses today. Understanding how these can impact the decision making process is one of the goals of this course. On the day of the case discussion and presentation all students, with the exception of the students presenting the case, will submit a 1 page (2-3 paragraphs) short paper outlining her/his opinion of the most important issue/topic of the case. All submissions will be due prior to the class discussion or team presentation of the case. The paper should include; student name, case name, issue/topic, where it is found in industry, and how does it impact the decision process. Students will be scored on the best 10 of 11 summaries for a total of 90 points towards the final grade.

B) Course Project: Company Analysis or Supply Chain White Paper

1. General Information: Project Type

To better understand the impacts of business decisions related to customer satisfaction, supply chain operations, students will work in their self selected teams of 4 members on one of two types of projects chosen by the group. The first type is company analysis, the goal is to describe in detail the logistics strategies and systems of a company focusing on how a company uses them to achieve business and customer goals. Companies should be selected based on student team interest and access to corporate personnel and data. The second type of project is a 20-page supply chain white paper on a current logistics issue impacting businesses, economies and/or technology. The papers must reflect the current and future state of selected topic and discuss how it is affecting companies and consumers.

Regardless of which project is selected, the object of the assignment is to focus on a specific business/supply chain change, issue or opportunity and how companies are using supply chain operations to “answer” each as well as increase overall market share and operational efficiency. The project is not a general informational overview of a company, industry, market, or sector. In preparation for either project, we will have a class session concentrated on library and web based research techniques, the goal of this class is to provide students with familiarity of OSU data resources as well as general research skills.

All projects are subject to instructor approval and will be presented in class at an assigned date. Please do not read your presentation. While the following items are not graded directly, there


ML 5389 (8592) Fall 2012

are also dates for selecting the company, completing the library and web based research, and an outline for the interviews. All project and presentation grades will be awarded to the entire group, however individuals may have her/his project grade affected by the level of effort contributed.B) Course Project: Company Analysis or Supply Chain White Paper (cont’d)

Part of the course project is the completion of a peer assessment form by all members of the project team evaluating each others’ level of effort. Based on this feedback I may decide to adjust your individual grade downward, it is important all members contribute equally. Peer evaluations are to be submitted to the Carmen dropbox following the team’s project presentation and no later than 11:59pm on the date of the project presentation. Failure to submit your peer assessment form after this deadline will result in loss of 20 points from class participation.

2 Company Analysis Option

Student teams choosing the company Analysis option will need to select an instructor approved company for analysis. Any company may be selected as long as it has a strong presence in the supply chain industry or a large supply chain organization. When 2 teams wish to present the same company, the instructor will review the focus of each presentation for approval or denial. Teams will complete a written analysis of their chosen company reviewing; 1-company background, 2-market, 3-market share, 4-key competitors, 5-logistical organization, & 6-how the company employs a specific logistics strategy (i.e. distribution network, order fulfillment, etc) or system (global trade management, supplier relationship management, etc) to take advantage of potential opportunities and challenges within the industry. The purpose of this project is to provide students with an understanding of how companies’ use strategic decision making processes meet customer expectations, expand their market position, and manage the product lifecycle through the use logistics/supply chain management.

To prepare for the company analysis, teams will use public research data sources as well as responses from corporate personnel to a series of interview questions developed jointly by myself and the student teams. These questions will provide valuable internal data which support or complement the findings from public data sources. Interview questions for company personnel are to be drafted and sent to me prior to distribution to company personnel for interview scheduling. All interview questions are due in Carmen by 10/11. All interview questions will be approved for distribution to company personnel by 10/15. Upon my approval of questions, students will need to schedule interviews based on the company representative’s preferred location and schedule of availability (may include travel and meetings outside of normal class hours). Interview questions are worth 30 points towards the final grade

All teams selecting the company analysis project will submit a soft copy of their written analysis the day prior to the team’s presentation to the class. These copies need to be uploaded to the Carmen dropbox by 11:59pm the prior to the presentation. The expected deliverable consist of a 5-8 letter sized, 1.5 spaced, type-written pages using 12 pt Arial or Times New Roman font. The team’s paper will account for 150 points towards the final grade.

In addition to the written analysis requirement, student teams will conduct a 15 minute in-class presentation summarizing their analysis of the chosen company. Teams will use their written
