environmental science supply chain management resource distribution geography vertical integration supply chainYour Sweet Spot Life aims to establish a 100% Canadian vertically integrated supply chain by sourcing local natural resources. The project involves identifying and mapping available natural resources across Canada that can be utilized in the company's supply chain. This will require a comprehensive analysis of various regions to determine the availability, sustainability, and potential of these resources. The goal is to create a detailed resource map that highlights key areas where Your Sweet Spot Life can source materials locally. This project will allow learners to apply their knowledge of geography, environmental science, and supply chain management to real-world scenarios. By focusing on local resources, the company aims to enhance sustainability and reduce reliance on international suppliers.
The project deliverables include a detailed report and a visual map of Canadian natural resources relevant to Your Sweet Spot Life's supply chain needs. The report should outline the types of resources available, their locations, and potential for sustainable extraction. Additionally, the map should visually represent these findings, providing a clear overview of resource distribution across Canada.
