More than 200 students, faculty, and supply chain professionals attended the fall meeting of the Supply Chain Management Institute (SCMI). The keynote speakers were Barry Sanders, Dan Paradiso, and Dave Swihart from The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company. They presented their best practices of how they developed and successfully launched a new product. The speakers discussed the company’s supply chain strategy for sourcing, production, and distribution of the product.
Following dinner, the presidents from both student chapters of the Institute for Supply Management and APICS (Association for Operations Management) gave remarks and promoted several upcoming events. In addition, the president of APICS-Toledo awarded the student chapter their APICS 2009 Gold Award for being selected as an outstanding student organization once again.
Concluding the evening was a panel discussion led by four BGSU alumni about transitioning from being a student to a full-time employee in a supply chain management position. |
