In the Classroom

Students could choose a logistics-related career (ex., supply chain analyst, transportation manager, warehouse supervisor). They can create an infographic using Canva, reviewed here or Visme, reviewed here highlighting job responsibilities, required skills, education, and salary potential. Have students trace the journey of a common product, such as sneakers, smartphones, or groceries, from production to final delivery. They can create a timeline on paper or use an online resource such as Timelinely, reviewed here or Timeline Infographic Templates, reviewed here. Students can also analyze a real-world logistics challenge (ex., shipping delays, warehouse shortages, fuel costs) and, in groups, brainstorm and present creative solutions to improve efficiency.
