This semester Amplex Corporation had the pleasure of working with the Strategic Sourcing class from Clarkson University School of Business. After the initial video conference meeting with the class and providing some preliminary historical and forecast data, the students were engaged with the project, asked pertinent questions about the real life case that we were working with, and really tried to understand the situation to be able to come up with solid recommendations. At the end of the semester, groups of students gave a final presentation about the case, their findings and recommendations. Considering the amount of data that was shared with the class and the fact that both parties were part of the Riipen platform for the first time through the entire project, Clarkson students did a great job analyzing the data, drawing conclusions and providing recommendations that made sense for the most part.
