MGT 6206E Operations Management Group Assignment (30% of Continuous Assessment) January 2024

Group Assignment- 30% of Continuous Assessment Method

In this group assignment, you will be working as part of a team of 4-5 students to prepare a
group report.

Task

“Supply Chain Optimisation”


Select a company with a complex supply chain structure and identify key areas for
optimization to enhance efficiency and reduce operational costs. Develop a comprehensive
plan outlining strategies for supply chain improvement. You could use the guide below in
your report, however the guide shared below is not exhaustive. Please feel free to use your
points if you want to.

1. Current Supply Chain Analysis.


2. Identifying Optimisation opportunities.
3. Optimisation strategies.
4. Risk mitigation and resilience.
5. Performance measurement and continuous improvement.

Written Report Guidelines


The written assignment (12-15 pages) must include the historical background of the chosen
organization.
The paper is to be written in a formal style but still at a level appropriate for reading by
another student in this class who is not necessarily familiar with the topic. The report must
include a strong thesis statement: underline it! Your assignment should have clearly labelled
sections.

The format is:


• A cover page with:
o the title of your paper
o your names
o the course number, the course title, and the semester

• Number each page.

• An introduction, with your underlined thesis statement, providing an overview of the topic
and paper.

• A conclusion and summary section including suggestions for follow-up information.

• A complete list of cited references organized by author, including all citation information.
The report must include cited references with at least three separate sources from print media
(books, journals, magazines) and at least three references from the web. The cited references
must be authoritative sources (see description below).

Working in a Group
Working as a group to prepare a report can be difficult. It requires some special
considerations. This task will be an organizational challenge, both in dividing up the work
and in scheduling team meetings. Here are some suggestions.
Group communication will be vitally important. Exchange preferred contact information
(email, phone number, preferred meeting place, etc.).
• Decide right away on regular, mutually convenient meeting times.
• Determine how you want to organize. Will one person be the leader? Will you each find
information separately and then combine it? Will each person write an entire section of the
paper, or simply provide notes and isolated paragraphs? YOU need to decide! However, keep
in mind that the final report must be seamless regarding writing style, so if different people
write different sections, you must apply your editing skills to create consistency across the
sections.
