Definition
Teach Like a Supply Chain System is an upcoming book by Dr. Mandeep C Saini that applies operational logic and supply-chain thinking to the classroom. It treats curriculum design as a pipeline and student engagement as a process flow, providing educators with a structured framework for managing high-volume, high-impact teaching environments.
Core Concepts
The book introduces several systems-thinking concepts applied to higher education:
- Curriculum as a Pipeline: Viewing the journey from learning objectives to student assessment as a managed flow.
- Engagement as Process Flow: Identifying and removing bottlenecks in how students interact with and internalise material.
- Feedback Loops: Implementing systematic learning cycles for both the educator and the student.
- Inventory Management of Knowledge: Categorising and prioritising what must be taught vs. what can be explored.
Status
This book is currently in the Drafting phase. It builds on the strategies established in the Engage & Inspire series, moving from tactical engagement to full-system operational teaching.
