The class is divided into smaller groups that individually assess each site's operations or manufacturing across an array of areas, which may include: global competition and strategy; leadership; customers; society and sustainability; new product introduction; global supply chain; organizational structure and culture; operations of machinery, processes, and materials; and metrics and quality. Travel costs are primarily covered by site hosts, but co-payment (up to $500) may be necessary. Restricted to Leaders for Global Operations students.
