For seven weeks of Strategy class, all we heard about was how we should appreciate the case exhibits and how difficult good, clean data would be to get in the real world. Well, the real world done slapped us the face. Our project is to find real, total, landed costs of parts in a global supply chain, and compare them to quotes received from suppliers based in China.
We have officially reached the midway point of our GAP project! One of the things I’ve enjoyed most is getting to work with new people. Over the course of our first year, we work primarily in our core groups – so most of our projects are with the same four people over the course of an entire year. My core team (Team 13!) was awesome, and I loved working with them throughout my first year. However, it has been a valuable experience working with new people.
It took us a little bit of time to transition into our work role after our wonderful London trip Arriving in Northampton, we all knew it was time to get back to business. The first day at CVG Northampton office (May11) was figuring out where the bathroom and canteen were, and going through the KAB safety training. Soon enough, we started working on our project plan and task list to provide the team here with the project overview and our data requirements, and scheduling interviews and meetings with various CVG stakeholders.
