3. Work on Cause and Effect Analysis
4. Find innovative ways to save costs and time

Please note the following:
A. The overseas operations can be any country of your choice
B. You need to step into the shoes of:
a. Sourcing Manager
b. Production Manager
c. Chief Information Officer
d. Logistics Manager

and analyze,
1. Country Specific Issues/Product Specific Issues/Consumer Trends
2. Commodity Prices/Manufacturing Reports/Economic Trends
3. Sourcing/Procurement/ Purchasing/ Logistics

    Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
