Supply Chain Management
Using the knowledge and understanding you have gained though the material presented in this course, and building on the foundation work carried out in the preparation week, choose an industry sector and outline the supply chain or logistics-based challenges facing the sector (or a particular organisation operating within it) and:
Part A: 1500 words: Weighting -40% of total grade.
Define the problem and set out a remit for a consultant that clearly describes the scope of an investigative project to find a solution for the client.
Part B: 2000 words: Weighting -60% of total grade
Carry out the investigation and prepare consultants initial report that will focus the client attention on the root causes of the problem or challenge and set out the basis for a solution. This paper should demonstrate a good understanding of the challenges but also reflect on the how the challenges link to current academic approaches to the subject.
NOTE: Both of the individual assignments should be submitted together as one document, clearly labelled as Part A and Part B.
