Wayne State University's School of Business Administration and General Motors are bringing some of the leading business students from across the country to Detroit for an in-depth look at the supply chain systems that support the automotive industry and its high-tech vehicles. The third annual General Motors/Wayne State University Supply Chain Case Competition will bring 20 university groups to the Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center from Sept. 19 - 22. The program will introduce students to the issues and challenges involved in producing leading technology vehicles through a case study. "This is an opportunity to showcase Southeast Michigan's automotive industry and supply chain management careers in this region, as well as an opportunity to provide students an outstanding real world educational experience," said John Taylor, associate professor and chair of the Department of Marketing and Supply Chain Management at Wayne State University's School of Business Administration. "Additionally, students will have time to actually interview with automotive companies and participate in several panel sessions on supply chain careers," said Taylor.
