supply chain oil and gasThe goal of this project is to hire a team of students to write a report analyzing the major supply chains in Canada. The focus should be on the connection points between small crop farms, lumber, minerals, gems, oil, small batch manufacturers, craftsmen, and skills-based services, local distributors and sellers. Additionally, the team should look at small companies that control the whole process from start to finish, such as Stormy Acres, a hops farm that also makes and sells its own soap at markets and fairs.
By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:
- An understanding of the major supply chains in Canada and the connection points between them.
- An analysis of small companies that control the whole process from start to finish.
- An understanding of the impact of the supply chain on local businesses.
Final deliverables should include:
- A written report detailing the findings of the project.
- An analysis of the impact of the supply chain on local businesses.
- Recommendations on how to improve the supply chain.
