A group of DSCM students from SEG (Team Name: Sans Souci) consisting of Leader Han Xu(3rd Year), Sylvia (2nd Year) and Wang Wen (2nd Year) made it to the top 6 finalist for SAP Dashboard Design Challenge 2010-2011. SAP is an official technology partner to the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Formula one team and has been such a partner for more than a decade.
In early November 2010, SAP invited all tertiary students in universities and polytechnics in Southeast Asia to participate in this first ever SAP dashboard design competition, which is to develop a dashboard to analyse the performance of all F1 teams.
We assembled this team of 3 DSCM students to participate and within a short period of 6 weeks, the team managed to submit a nicely designed dashboard by 6 Jan 2011.
Our team put in great effort within such a short time on top of their heavy academic loading and managed to enter the final 6 after competing against 50+ entries from Southeast Asia!
We are the only team from Republic Polytechnic among the 6 final teams and we went head to head with the following schools:
