ASCM CASE COMPETITION
The 2021 ASCM Case Competition is provided by ASCM in collaboration with Deloitte Consulting LLP. Participating teams will present solutions to an exciting end-to-end supply chain management problem, as they compete for prize money and recognition. The case may involve distribution, logistics, sales and operations planning, inventory, and other operations management challenges.
Description
ASCM is committed to the advancement of supply chain students and is in the process of reevaluating and refining our entire student program.
