Details

Shrubscriber is seeking to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of its urban tree nursery network in Edmonton. The project involves creating a comprehensive supply chain model that addresses the unique challenges of managing seeds, seedlings, and trees across multiple locations.


The goal is to optimize inventory levels to ensure timely distribution and maximize community engagement. This project will require learners to apply their knowledge of supply chain management, data analysis, and forecasting techniques. By understanding the dynamics of urban tree nurseries, the team will propose innovative tools and techniques to predict inventory trends and mitigate potential risks, ensuring a sustainable and responsive supply chain.

Deliverables

The project deliverables include a detailed supply chain model tailored for urban tree nurseries, focusing on inventory optimization and distribution. Additionally, the team will provide a set of proposed tools and techniques for predicting inventory trends and mitigating risks. A final report will summarize the findings and recommendations, supported by data analysis and forecasting insights.
