Answer 1

Hi There!

I cannot help you with that one specifically, although there are some coaches with that background that for sure are going to be super insightful and helpful.

My advise is to be very ready for the following as well:

1. Profitability cases- basic profitability framework.

2. Idea generation cases: for any specif issue

3. Growth cases: market penetration, new product launch, product mix change, etc.

4. Pricing cases

5. M&A cases

6. Valuation cases

7. Value chain cases

Hope it helps!

Cheers,

Clara

Hi Ashutosh,

As a starting point, I'd check out the library on PrepLounge for ‘supply chain’ cases. I see there two already which could be useful.

Additionally, check case books from business schools (you can find them online for free usually e.g., Kelogg business school) for Strategy & Ops candidate-led cases.

Even so, my advice would be to try cases that go beyond your functional focus (supply chain) as the interview most likely will extend beyond this.

Best,
Cristian

Hi Ashutosh,

I am ex-Deloitte and from SC & Ops background. Happy to help you prepare if you are looking for a coach. I have helped many candidates get into Deloitte and also in their SC Consulting practice.

Pure Deloitte style SC cases are very hard to find online. Feel free to send me a direct message and we can have a quick informal chat to discuss your prep.
