Supply Chain Audit with Focus on Developing a Robust Quality Control System with Multiple Small Vendors
Case Synopsis -
Happy Valley Meat Company (HVM) works a number of small livestock farms in the north east. A major pain point is ensuring only the highest quality product is purchased and then reaches the customer. In this collaboration, MBA students will first conduct interviews to map where lapses in QC occur and what the outcome of a QC failure at that point is. Once a complete picture is gathered, HVM team members will work with the MBA students to develop recommendations (to hopefully be implemented) to check and intervene when necessary to uphold high quality. HVM currently tracks errors and failures regarding quality as support cases. The MBA students will work together to set realistic support case goals to measure success of the program once implemented.
