The problem is to minimise the overall supply chain cost consisting of inventory order cost, inventory unit purchasing cost, inventory storage cost, transport booking cost, jam storage cost, delivery travel distance cost and jam arrival earliness and tardiness costs. We report on how we devised and taught this case to First Year Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering students at the University of Melbourne.","PeriodicalId":37137,"journal":{"name":"INFORMS Transactions on Education","volume":"6 1","pages":"20-27"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1287/ITED.6.3.20","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66521525","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

DEA is often the only available tool that enables managers to evaluate the relative efficiencies of various business units in the presence of multiple performance measures. Applichem is a case study about a multinational chemical company, with six manufacturing plants located all over the world. The manufacturing plants' efficiencies are highly varied and in the presence of excessive capacity, management is having a difficult time determining which plants must be shut down. This case is often studied from an optimization perspective, with the objective of matching customer demands with plant capacities at the lowest possible cost. The case involves multiple measures of performance e.g. labor cost, material cost, etc., which makes it ideal for introducing and demonstrating DEA from a practical perspective. This paper details how such an analysis can be presented in a business classroom.","PeriodicalId":37137,"journal":{"name":"INFORMS Transactions on Education","volume":"6 1","pages":"38-45"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1287/ITED.6.3.38","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66521193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mawhinney","doi":"10.1287/ITED.6.3.28","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1287/ITED.6.3.28","url":null,"abstract":"Supply chain management is one of the most complex business disciplines, comprising activities and interactions within and between many of the traditional functional areas of a firm and their channel partners. No longer can a company place its entire focus on its own operations because long-term success is becoming increasingly dependent on actions and decisions of upstream and downstream firms in the supply chain. Organizations that effectively collaborate with their supply chain partners position themselves for success in 21st-century markets. In order to prepare our students to make decisions in this complex environment, educators in operations research and management science must introduce students to the important interactions which are essential to effective supply chain management. \u0000 \u0000We have developed a classroom supply chain simulation incorporating Lego™ bricks to highlight the flow of materials, products, and information through the channel. Students assume the responsibilities of various supply chain functions and must work together to provide finished products according to a production schedule and a rush customer order. The exercise was designed for an undergraduate introductory course in supply chain management, transportation and logistics, or management science in a business or industrial engineering school. It reinforces lectures and discussions about the different functional areas of the supply chain and serves to energize students about the remainder of their curriculum in the field. The follow-up assignments included with the simulation allow students to execute the major steps of the production planning process within the familiar context of the company used in the simulation exercise.","PeriodicalId":37137,"journal":{"name":"INFORMS Transactions on Education","volume":"6 1","pages":"28-37"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1287/ITED.6.3.28","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66521082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
