Plant Trek

I leave tomorrow for what I’m sure will be one of the best experiences of the LGO program – plant trek.  It’s a two week cross country jaunt with visits to eight partner companies in six cities.  Our whole class and a few professors will spend 13 days seeing a variety of operations and hearing from partner company leaders.

We will also have a great time.  One of my classmates took the opportunity to create some awesome heavy metal style tour t-shirts so we can travel in style.  They show all of our tour stops and dates, and have some face melting graphics on the front.  It’s been dubbed the “LGO 2010 Wips and Supply Chains Tour” …get it?

Our first stop is in Seattle to see two Boeing sites where they build some of the largest and most complex machines in the world.
