You are tasked to develop a 4,000-words professional management report for this module. This individual report should address the following:

 

1.      
Research an organisation, map and describe their global supply chain, both upstream and downstream.

 

The chosen organisation should be a multinational/global company.                                             20%

 

2.      
Identify and critically evaluate the key relationships in the supply chain, how the relationships are managed, and the consequential impacts on performance.                                                                            20%

 

3.      
Identify and critically evaluate the current supply chain management strategies and practices of your chosen organisation and the impact on the performance of the organisation.

                                                                                                                                                                                   

Students are required to use a range of theoretical materials, industry/sector/markets and company information to critically evaluate the supply chain management practices of the organisation. A minimum of 5 practices or strategies are required.                                     20%

 

4.      
Identify and justify a number of supply chain management practices that would enable the organisation to improve its performance.

 

Students are required to identify a number of theoretical and industry supply chain management and improvement practices that would enable the chosen organisation to elevate its performance. The practices (or strategies) identified should overall address the three pillars of sustainability – economic, social and environmental. A minimum of 5 practices or strategies are required. This question is basically about finding additional practices from literature which the chosen organisation is not currently using. In essence, the practices identified should be different from the practices identified in question 3.                                                                                                    20%

 

5.      
Applying theoretical methods, select the most appropriate set of supply chain management practices and demonstrate why they are the most appropriate to enable the organisation to improve its overall performance.

 

As companies have limited resource for implementation of practices, usually they would prioritise or select the most relevant set of practices. Therefore, students are required to identify some models from literature for comparative analysis of the practices and critically evaluate the recommended practices. Demonstrate why the chosen practices are the most appropriate for the organisation or why the organisation should prioritise the practices.  This question is basically about comparing all the practices identified in question 4, and prioritising some of them.                                                                                                                                                                                           20%

 

Please note that these 5 questions cover the two course works required for this module – CW1 and CW2.  Questions 1 and 2 represent CW1 (40%), and questions 3 to 5 represent CW2 (60%). These should be submitted as ONE coherent report. Please note that each component must be passed i.e. you must pass CW1 and CW2.
