THE BOEING CO. // EVERETT, WASH.The aircraft maker enlisted Tauber students to address the challenge of crane delays, which cost Boeing an estimated $25 million annually. The Tauber team proposed a new protocol, along with a complementary crane adoption model, which can reduce the annual cost of delays to $9.7 million.

BORGWARNER INC. // FLETCHER, N.C.BorgWarner management tapped the Tauber group to develop flexible manufacturing systems to adapt to a shift in customer demand. The team achieved maximum cost savings in three phases: reducing changeover time, improvements in assembly and machining, and developing a production scheduling strategy.

CISCO SYSTEMS INC. // SAN JOSE, CALIF.Tauber students analyzed the networking equipment manufacturer’s customer value chain management organization, and recommended a tactical redesign of the end-to-end order fulfillment process and a strategic realignment of priorities to support a new build-to-stock supply chain model.

CUMMINS INC. // COLUMBUS, IND./SINGAPORE/CHINAThe heavy equipment company tasked its Tauber students to reevaluate its existing China remanufacturing strategy from both an operational and a marketing perspective. They identified specific plans and determined the location and scope of Cummins upcoming remanufacturing core management facilities in China, recommendations that the company estimates will result in an NPV of $22 million over ten years.

FEDERAL-MOGUL CORP. // SOUTHFIELD, MICH./CHINATauber students developed a supplier’s cost model for Federal-Mogul’s aftermarket rotor and drum product line. They spent three weeks in China visiting existing and potential suppliers and negotiating cost reductions using the model, amounting to more than $4 million in potential savings — which could rise even more if adopted across the company’s global aftermarket business.

W.W. GRAINGER INC. // LAKE FOREST, ILL.Grainger commissioned its Tauber team to study and recommend solutions for a labeling problem that caused inefficiencies. The students recommended a new cross-reference outbound labeling system that yielded an annual savings of $15.6 million.

Meet Our StudentsRoss attracts diverse scholars who share a desire to engage in robust conversation about the most important issues in business. Our students hail from dozens of countries across six continents. They have worked in consulting, finance, government, education, and beyond.

Matthew Carson // MSCM ’12DIRECTOR, EMERSON PROCESS MANAGEMENT CLUJ-NAPOCA, ROMANIA

After earning his MBA and working for eight years in healthcare supply chain management, Matthew was ready to take his career to the next level. “I wanted to go back to an academic environment where I could focus on learning, developing my critical thinking skills, and broadening my horizons,” he says, and found the full-time, one-year format at Michigan Ross was the right fit for him. He was impressed by the faculty — “They’re respected experts in the field and truly passionate about teaching,” he says. And his peers? “Everyone here brings great experience. The majority of students come from different countries, which brings a lot of diverse, global perspectives to the classroom.”

Malvika Bhatia// BSE ’11, MSCM ’12STRATEGIC SOURCING MANAGER, MICROSOFTSEATTLE, WASH.

Heading business development and operations for the company she co-founded, Malvika soon realized that her engineering background had not prepared her for how to manage complex global supply chains and operations. The University of Michigan alumna enrolled in the MSCM Program to gain that knowledge and hone her skills through the Tauber Institute for Global Operations, a partnership between Ross and U-M’s College of Engineering. “Tauber serves as an amazing frontier to develop connections with companies, participate in action-based learning, and work on diverse teams. This helped me prepare for the working world, from leadership to project management.”

17

Our MSCM students are an elite group, with more than 25% already holding a master’s degree, plus an average of over five years of work experience. With excellence in academia and the workplace already under their belts, Ross MSCMs are connected by a shared vision to become strategic business leaders and influencers in supply chain.

Ankur Agarwal // MSCM ’14PATHWAYS OPERATIONS MANAGER, AMAZONLEXINGTON, KY.

With a decade of experience in strategic procurement for Toyota and Procter & Gamble, Ankur sought new hard skills to connect him to new career opportunities. Looking at one-year MSCM programs, Ross offered a key differentiator: “It’s about looking at problems holistically and trying to apply what you’ve learned to the overall problem.” This concept came to full bloom as Ankur traveled to China for his Tauber Summer Project. “We reinvented Cummins’ China business, restructuring it from an organizational perspective and giving recommendations on product, strategy, and branding. They’re actually implementing all of this, which is incredibly powerful. We even got to sit in with Chinese government officials. What other programs offer that type of exposure?” Ankur’s team’s project took the top prize in the Spotlight! competition, earning him a $5,000 scholarship on top of the project’s weekly salary.

Amanda Hillman// MS ’12, MSCM ’12MANAGER, DELOITTESEATTLE, WASH.

The first MSCM student to earn a dual degree from both Michigan Ross and the School of Natural Resources and Environment, Amanda studied the intersection of sustainability, business, engineering, supply chain, operations, manufacturing, and construction. During her job search, Amanda found the right fit through one of Ross’ many on-campus recruiting events. Looking back, Amanda is amazed by the power of the Ross alumni network. “The program truly leverages the Ross community and their connections to create remarkable projects and opportunities both while you’re in the MSCM Program and beyond.”

Ann ArborCOSMOPOLITAN LIVING WITHOUT THE HASSLE As home to one of the greatest universities in the world, Ann Arbor (A2) is a city that is both intellectually robust and economically resilient. The University of Michigan attracts global leaders in all fields, including medicine, life sciences, law, engineering, public policy, and education.

Rich with history and tradition, U-M and Ann Arbor offer a classic college town experience. There are restaurants for every budget and taste; music for fans of concertos and rock bands; and pleasures for lovers of both sports and the arts. It doesn’t take long to realize that Ann Arbor naturally melds high culture and popular culture.

Public transportation is accessible and often free for students. Several area attractions are within walking distance of campus, and Detroit Metro Airport is about 30 minutes from downtown Ann Arbor.

THE ARTS Ann Arbor enjoys an international reputation for its vibrant music and performing arts scene. In addition to bringing Yo-Yo Ma and the Berlin Philharmonic to town, the University Musical Society also hosts the only U.S. residency of England’s Royal Shakespeare Company. The recently renovated University of Michigan Museum of Art features dramatic new galleries that highlight pieces drawn from the museum’s more than 18,000 works.

FOOD You can find whatever you want to eat (or cook) in Ann Arbor. Quality ethnic restaurants and specialty grocery stores abound, and there’s no shortage of high-end restaurants. A word to the wise: If you leave Ann Arbor without going to Zingerman’s Delicatessen, you’ll never have the pleasure of discovering just how exciting a sandwich can be.

RECREATION Those who love the great outdoors can run or bike along more than 60 miles of scenic trails, kayak down the Huron River, explore the Nichols Arboretum, or take advantage of Ann Arbor’s many golf courses.
