The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
How can MediTech reduce its supply chain risk and improve sustainability by reshoring component sourcing without significantly increasing costs or compromising quality?
This is not a data exercise. It is the work an analyst does when stakeholders need answers from messy data. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates describe statistical methods and none who have extracted insight from messy, real-world data.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Apply network design principles to a global sourcing decision
- Quantify total landed cost and trade-offs between cost, risk, and sustainability
- Develop supplier selection criteria incorporating ESG factors
- Create a risk mitigation plan for supply chain disruptions
