Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

The main goal of the project is to research transportation methods, conduct packaging analysis, and develop strategies for supply chain risk management in order to enhance the efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and resilience of our fashion startup's logistics operations. By achieving these goals.



What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?
  1. Research Sustainable Transportation Methods: The project aims to research and identify the most sustainable transportation methods and logistics networks for transporting goods between our manufacturer in Mexico and our location in Vancouver. The goal is to streamline transportation routes, reduce costs, and improve delivery times, ensuring smooth movement of goods.
  2. Enhance Packaging Solutions: The project focuses on analyzing and optimizing the packaging methods and materials used for our fashion products. The aim is to identify sustainable, cost-effective packaging options that provide adequate protection during transportation, ensuring that your products reach customers in optimal condition.
  3. Mitigate Supply Chain Risks: The project aims to assess the risks associated with our fashion startup's manufacture and develop strategies to mitigate these risks. By identifying potential disruptions, delays, or quality issues, the goal is to create contingency plans and implement risk management processes that enhance supply chain resilience and minimize the impact of unforeseen events.


How will you support learners in completing the project?


  1. Slack Group Access: By adding the learners to your Slack group, they will have a dedicated platform for exchanging information, seeking clarifications, and collaborating with our team members. This facilitates real-time communication and allows them to stay connected throughout the project duration.
  2. Prompt Responses: Ensuring that their questions and inquiries are answered as soon as possible is crucial for maintaining their momentum and progress. Regular monitoring of the Slack channel and timely responses to their queries will provide the necessary support they need to overcome any challenges they encounter during the project.
  3. General Meetings: Conducting general meetings at specific intervals during the project will allow for face-to-face or virtual interactions. These meetings can serve as an opportunity to address any project-related concerns, provide guidance, and clarify expectations. General meetings also offer a platform for learners to share their progress, discuss their findings, and receive feedback from your team.
  4. Project Guidelines and Resources: Providing learners with clear project guidelines, including objectives and deliverables will help them stay on track and understand the project's expectations. Additionally, sharing relevant resources such as research materials, industry reports, and case studies will support their research efforts and help them develop well-informed recommendations.
  5. Ongoing Support and Mentorship: Offering ongoing support and mentorship throughout the project will contribute to learners' success.
  6. Feedback and Evaluation: Providing constructive feedback on the learners' progress and deliverables is essential for their growth and improvement. Regularly reviewing their work, offering suggestions for enhancement, and acknowledging their achievements will motivate and guide them in completing the project successfully.


Optional: Sustainability in Fashion Presentation

In addition to the support measures mentioned earlier, our team can offer an optional Sustainability in Fashion Presentation to further enhance the learners' understanding of sustainable processes and their significance in the fashion industry. This presentation can serve as an introduction to sustainability concepts, practices, and their specific relevance to the fashion sector.


What skills or technologies will help learners to complete the project?

To successfully complete the project, learners will benefit from having the following skills and knowledge:

  1. Research and Analysis: Strong research skills are essential for gathering relevant information on transportation methods, packaging options, and supply chain risk management. Learners should be able to collect and analyze data effectively, interpret findings, and draw meaningful conclusions to inform their recommendations.
  2. Logistics and Supply Chain Management: A solid understanding of logistics principles and supply chain management is crucial for optimizing transportation methods, evaluating packaging solutions, and identifying potential risks. Knowledge of supply chain processes, transportation modes, route optimization, and inventory management will be valuable for making informed decisions.
  3. Data Analysis and Visualization: Proficiency in data analysis and visualization tools, such as Excel, can aid in analyzing transportation costs, evaluating packaging effectiveness, and identifying trends or patterns in supply chain data. Learners should be capable of organizing data, performing calculations, and presenting findings in clear and concise visual formats.
  4. Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving: The ability to think critically and solve complex problems is important for assessing transportation challenges, identifying packaging improvements, and developing risk management strategies. Learners should be able to analyze situations from multiple perspectives, consider alternative solutions, and make informed decisions.
