Paper instructions : The assessment task requires you to produce an analytical report reviewing the supply chain
of a case organisation.
To complete this task you need to choose a case organisation whose operations and supply
chain is of interest to you. You can use any organisation that produces a product or renders
services. This organisation could also be one you are presently working for or have work for
in the past.
In Section one you are required to review the operations and supply chain of a case
organisation and apply relevant concepts, frameworks, theories and research in the review.
In section two, you are to identify issues in the supply chain and recommend a project to
remedy these issues. You are then to plan the project using relevant project planning tools.
Considering these aspects of the module, there are three main learning outcomes. At the
end of the module, you will be expected to:
1. critically evaluate and discuss how operations management contributes to
competitiveness in an organisational context;
2. critically evaluate the information management/systems in relation to the operation
management processes; and
3. construct and justify a project plan for a business scenario
he
assessment MUST be in a report structure. First, there must be an abstract. This section
should not be more than 150 words and should provide a brief highlight of the report. Here,
the purpose of the report must be clear, the findings in the review, the recommended
project and expected outcome. Note that the abstract is not included in the word count but
MUST be present in your report.
The next part should be the introduction to the report. In this section, you need to
introduce your case organisations and justify your choice. You can do this by discussing the
relevance of operations and supply chain management to the case organisations. The aim of
the report and objective of the report must be clearly stated. You could also highlight the
structure of the report here.
Now you should do some research to track and illustrate the supply chain network of the
case organisation. Your diagrams should clearly depict the structure of the case
organisation’s supply chain network. The upstream, operations, and downstream aspects of
the supply chain MUST be clearly shown. Revisit your lecture notes to see how to do this.
Note that the diagram is not included in your word count.
After this, you should introduce section one as per the assessment brief. In section one, you
are to review the operations and supply chain of the case organisation. When discussing the
supply chain, you need to provide some information about the activities in the upstream
and downstream. You should endeavour to apply relevant concepts, frameworks, and
theories in your review when analysing the case organisation. Don’t forget to highlight good
practices and issues you may have found in the way the organisation manage its operations
and supply chain.
In section two, you should now introduce your project and plan it using the tools you have
been taught in the module. This section also doubles as a recommendation section as you
are required to propose a project that aims to improve an aspect of the operations and
supply chain of the case organisation.
The last section is the conclusion of the report. Here, identify the objectives of the report
and how you have accomplished them. You should summarise the concepts applied, issues
and good practices discussed, and recommendation proffered.
