Hello,

Would someone mind pointing me in the direction of some good cases (PrepLounge or otherwise) covering supply chain and logistics? I would really appreciate some pointers.

Hi, 

Have a look at this case I have published: https://www.preplounge.com/en/management-consulting-cases/candidate-led-usual-style/advanced/educateearth-digital-operations-transformation-220

Have a look at these threads too:

  • https://www.preplounge.com/en/consulting-forum/operationssupply-chain-case-studies-10965
  • https://www.preplounge.com/en/consulting-forum/deloitte-supply-chain-case-interview-10656

Supply Chain used to be my focus area for many years, so am happy to help you prepare in this space and have a treasure trove of cases. Feel free to send me a direct message.

Hi there,

1) PrepLounge has that category in their case Library here: https://www.preplounge.com/en/management-consulting-cases?language=en&topic[]=13&topic[]=8&sort=real-case-desc&page=1&perPage=20

2) Google and casebooks are your friend. As are the McKinsey Operations and BCG Operations sites!

3) Send me a message and I can provide you with a few good ones and/or case you in them! Some examples include:

  • X retailer currently is seeing delivery delays due to lack or storage containers and skyrocketing container costs - how would you go about resolving this situation?
  • Vaccine maker x is seeing shortages in supplies for manufacturing - how can we resolve these shortages?
  • X distrubiton center would like to purchase an inventory management system - how would you evauate this decision?
