This week I made progress on preparing what my work for the upcoming weeks will look like. In my second meeting with my mentor, we discussed what topics would be best to base my original work and eventually my final product on. We found that it would be best that I could focus on supply chain as a whole for my original work, possibly picking a supply chain in particular and analyzing their practices that make them successful. My mentor emphasized how Amazon’s efficiency and agility as a supply chain is more advanced than most. From that discussion, I decided to research Amazon’s practices, specifically their logistics and implementation of their own transportation systems. Instead of being 100% dependent on third parties for transportation of goods, Amazon has started creating their own shipping containers, trucks, and planes. Amazon’s control over all processes in their supply chain gives them more economic opportunities and is interesting to research how their practices have supported them in desperate times like the pandemic. While researching Amazon, I was thinking about how interesting it would be to create a mock website of Amazon’s, with the same format, but with applications that provide videos about the whole process of different items through the supply chain. I also think it would be cool to add in a choose-your-own adventure type of element. I am excited to explore this idea and am prepared for all the research and time that it would take to complete.
