\nto Operations Strategy\/Management or to Supply Chain Strategy\/Management.<\/span><\/p>\n

Please see
\nbelow an indicative (but not exhaustive) list based on the content of the
\nmodule:<\/span><\/p>\n

– Processes
\nAnalysis and Facilities Layout<\/span><\/p>\n

–
\nEstimation and Demand Forecasting<\/span><\/p>\n

– Inventory
\nManagement<\/span><\/p>\n

–
\nDistribution and Warehousing<\/span><\/p>\n

–
\nProcurement<\/span><\/p>\n

–
\nPerformance Measurement<\/span><\/p>\n

–
\nApplication\/Implementation of new technologies (Big Data, Internet of Things,
\nDrones, 3D Printing, Augmented Reality, Artificial Intelligence etc.)<\/span><\/p>\n

– Quality
\nManagement<\/span><\/p>\n

– Project
\nManagement<\/span><\/p>\n

By
\nconstructively utilising the knowledge gained during the course and through
\nyour extensive independent reading, critically discuss and analyse the
\npertinent issues in the case study of your choice.<\/span><\/p>\n

A BARE PASS
\nmark must have:<\/span><\/p>\n

Interpretation
\nand scope: A clear attempt to present a case study on the area of Operations
\n& SC management. There is sufficient organization of the data of the case
\nstudy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Understanding
\nof topic: Basic awareness of Operations & SC management principals must be
\nevident. Some understanding of the Operations & SC management tools and
\ntechniques used must be demonstrated. The relevance of principals and tools
\nwith the case examined must be clear.<\/span><\/p>\n

Use of
\nliterature: There must be evidence of independent literature review research.
\nAt least 10 references must be included. The appropriate cross-references must
\nbe included in the assignment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Evaluation
\nand synthesis of evidence: The information collected and presented, must be
\nused in the Operations & SC management tools and techniques. Results must
\nbe clear and specific.<\/span><\/p>\n

Critical
\nanalysis: A discussion evaluating the results must be present. There must be a
\nclear effort to evaluate the results using the literature presented.<\/span><\/p>\n

Structure,
\nlogical development: The proposed structure must be used. The material
\npresented must have a logical sequence.<\/span><\/p>\n

Executive
\nSummary: Executive summery must exist. It must at least define the scope of the
\nassignment and the main results.<\/span><\/p>\n

Conclusion:
\nMust draw together the main results and discussion points.<\/span><\/p>\n

Spelling,
\ngrammar and syntax: A good use of English. Some errors are accepted such as
\npunctuation, misuse of words, spelling and sentence construction.<\/span><\/p>\n

Writing
\nStyle: An authoritative style and language should be used.<\/span><\/p>\n

Presentation
\nof data and references: Data must be presented and organized with the use of
\nFigures and Tables. Figures and Tables must have all the necessary headings and
\nlabels to allow easy understanding of the data. Figures and Tables must be
\nnumbered to allow cross-references and must have an explanatory title. Only the
\nnecessary amount of information will be included in the main body of the
\nassignment. The rest of the information will be presented in Appendix.<\/span><\/p>\n

Overall
\npresentation: A satisfactory overall presentation is necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n

A SOLID
\nPASS mark must have all the above plus:<\/span><\/p>\n

Interpretation
\nand scope: The work presented has a clear case study format. Results are
\nproperly organized.<\/span><\/p>\n

Understanding
\nof topic: Clear understanding of Operations & SC management principals must
\nbe evident. Clear understanding of the use of the Operations & SC
\nmanagement techniques and tools. Only the appropriate tools for the case
\nanalyzed must be used.<\/span><\/p>\n

Use of
\nliterature: More than 10 references from reputable journals and articles must
\nbe used. No cross-reference to material handed in the classroom. Very small
\nmatch in TURN-IT-IN evaluation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Evaluation
\nand synthesis of evidence: High quality of analysis of the information
\ncollected and presentation of results.<\/span><\/p>\n

Critical
\nanalysis: Results must be critically discussed and compared with literature
\nreview and other business benchmarks.<\/span><\/p>\n
