A Penn State Behrend Supply Chain Analytics class had the opportunity to participate in a real life data-driven project with Logistics Plus this semester. This project served as a hands-on learning experience for students as they were challenged with a relevant business problem, attempting to find a solution. The students began the project by familiarizing themselves with the third-party logistics industry. They were then tasked with framing a business problem before utilizing data to provide value to an actual business (in this case Logistics Plus).
The project was a major success and the students were able to gain insight on the role analytics and data plays in the everyday business world. Dr. Varun Gupta, professor of Supply Chain Analytics added, “I am really grateful to Jeremy and Ryan for their support and patience in working with the students and we look forward to working on similar projects in the future.”
