Capstone Project
Put classroom insights to work
We've infused unforgettable experiential learning throughout the MSCM curriculum, including a signature capstone project in which students address a real challenge and deliver tangible results to their employer or an assigned organization.
- Apply learning to supply chain strategy
- Think analytically and drive decision making
- Work with partners to co-create value
- Build additional technical and soft skills
How the Capstone works
Capstone projects are student-led but faculty-guided experiences that allow students to showcase their learning while providing immediate value to an organization. MSCM students work on a real-world business challenge facing their employer or a challenge facing one of Fisher's partner companies.
The MSCM's three immersive on-campus experiences include a capstone introduction, in-depth project discussion, and presentations.
Project Examples
- Consumer Home Delivery Demand Prediction
- Cost Reduction and Procurement Strategies
- Forecasting Seasonal Demand and Demand Prediction
- Internal Controls and Risk Assessment
- Inventory and Scheduling Optimization
- Network Optimization and Global Distribution Strategy
- Procurement Optimization
- Segmented Supply Chain Strategies
- Supplier Sourcing and Recommendations
- Supply Chain and Distribution Analysis/Models
