Our latest Executive Presentation Series held on Nov 9 featured Tracy Masson. Tracy Masson, Senior Manager of Americas Business Operations, Dell Inc. Canada, spoke to the SCMA about Dell’s supply chain model. The topic of her discussion was “Leadership and Supply Chain in Dell”. Ms. Masson shared her insight regarding the Global Supply Planning model of Dell and its three major constituents - Demand Planning, Supply Planning and Demand Fulfillment. She also explained the critical role of the Supplier Logistics Center in helping Dell keep only 2 hours of inventory on hand which ultimately helps Dell in absolute synchronization between manufacturing and sales. The event served as a great opportunity to interact and network with a Dell executive and a Penn State Alum. The Smeal community would like to thank Ms. Masson for taking time to give back to the current student body.
