Company: Famous Footwear (Caleres)
For this week, select a company, preferably your own, as the focus for your assignments. If selecting a company outside your own, research companies that have information publicly available. To further narrow down your selection, review the company’s public information such as their website and annual reports, and consider whether they are frequently covered in the industry press (most industries have some form of trade magazine).
The company’s leadership team has asked you to evaluate the quality of your company’s overall supply chain design. Leadership wants you to assess how ready the company is to compete 3–5 years from now to understand if they have built the right supply chain team for future operating and regulatory environments. If not, they want to understand what is needed to build a more competitive supply chain.
