In this paper, we describe a learning improvement initiative centered on a production systems course project. This initiative addresses strategic production planning of a hypothetical global supply chain with contemporary environmental and energy consequences. The quantitative problems of this project are to be formulated and solved by student teams where each team member assumes a unique position of responsibility. They are: domestic and off-shore plant managers, a logistic manager, and an environment and energy manager. Given specific responsibilities for each managerial position, in solving a series of quantitative problems where the leadership of each project team rotates among teammates, students are not only able to produce multi-disciplinary solutions to this global supply chain company, but also able to demonstrate their leadership and teamwork skills. This initiative is motivated by a multiple number of ABET outcome items. The outcome assessment of this project consists of pre- and post-projects of the students as well as the rubrics for each outcome item to be utilized by the instructors. The progress made thus far in terms of input, process, and output including team organization and management will be presented. Also, challenges in this project will be identified, and future direction will be discussed.
