Thanks to the tremendous effort from all the teams, CityU is the only local university that has three teams ranked the top 9 places and being qualified to represent Hong Kong to compete in the international grand final in August. The finalists will represent Hong Kong to compete with universities’ teams from other countries.
“I am so excited to be part of the team as through the competition, we can consolidate and familiarize with the knowledge of Operations Management learnt in our courses such as the product or process flow design, supply chain concepts, logistics, procurement, inventory, warehouse management and many more. Besides, we enhanced our decision making and communication skills throughout the whole process as well,” said Tam Wai Leung.
MonsoonSIM Enterprise Resource Management Competition is an annual competition hosted by MonsoonSIM, a leading supply chain business simulation software provider, and its partners. Aiming to expose students to the concept of enterprise resource management (ERM), participants were required to operate virtual companies in a simulated business environment to compete with others for the highest business KPIs. This year, 105 students in 21 teams from 8 Hong Kong local universities participated in the Hong Kong regional round on June 1st, 2019. At August’s international grand final, the top 9 teams in the regional round will represent Hong Kong to compete with universities’ teams from Australia, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand.
