Student teams are electronically sent
versions of the case and have 9 days to resolve and present. The “twist” is that team members are scattered throughout the world. The front page also serves as a form for peer evaluation at the end of the case.

Sweet Spots
Accommodating up to 25 university academic calendars worldwide requires determining a sweet spot acceptable to all.
A Total Cost Approach to Understanding Supply Chain Risk
This two-part case illustrates the use of economic order quantity to manage conflicting performance measures across different silo’d functions in an
Case author introduces the case using a YouTube video so all participants start at same level
Defined timeline of events is listed on the supporting web page http://www.cob.unt.ed u/mktg/faculty/farris/S MCSpring2014.htm
Student teams request a presentation time slot but do not know who the faculty judge is until AFTER it is assigned. (Each color represents a different faculty judge.) Presentation time slots can be as early as 02:00 CDT and as late as 19:00 CDT.
Q & A section for the website is updated every 6 to 8 hours while the case is active. Latest update time is posted at the bottom of the page.
Learning Curve: Faculty continue to tweak the administration of the case by actively measuring the results and acting on the feedback.
As an Example of a Lesson Learned: Students have multiple email accounts; many do not use, or prefer to use, their university email account. You will need to collect preferred email addresses at the start of the
faster after it has been released. 19% used private or work email addresses to complete the case.
