We held our year-end Gallery Walk on December 3, showcasing our MBA, MEng, and Undergraduate student supply chain projects completed this semester. This batch of projects involved a number of key themes around global transportation analyses, inventory management, supplier management, warehouse management, and product SKU segmentation. Almost all of the projects involved building analytical insights using BI, Tableau, Excel, or other platforms.

The Gallery Walk was preceeded by our AI Symposium we held in conjunction with the Commerce and Contract Management Institute, which produced a number of fascinating insights into the interplay of ethics and human engagement in AI applications in the supply chain.
