The table in the appendix below will serve as the grading rubric for this assignment. <\/p>\n
The report should be 10-15 pages in length including the cover and appendices, with 1\u201d margins on all sides, double-spacing, and 12 point font. The cover of the report should include title, class code and name, section number, your full name, and date of completion. The report MUST follow the outline below: <\/p>\n
1. Abstract (150 words maximum) \u2022 Summarize the entire report, including problem statement, IOSCM concepts\/tools that have been applied to the problem, and expected results of the proposed solution. <\/p>\n
2. Background information \u2022 Clearly state whether the problem is from your own work or from business articles\/cases. If it is from business articles\/cases, provide its source (title, author, name of the journal, date published). \u2022 Briefly introduce the company background (e.g., name, products, business size, location, internal\/external interesting facts, etc). <\/p>\n
3. Problem Description \u2022 Describe the problem clearly and specifically. o You should focus on a single problem, although you can introduce several other issues for informational purposes. o The problem may involve either operational decision-making, process improvement, or supply chain strategies in managing international operations and supply chain. \u2022 This section must include a problem statement starting with, e.g., \u201cThis paper considers the problem of determining \u2026\u201d, \u201cThe main problem of the firm is how to …\u201d, etc, either in the beginning or at the end of the section. <\/p>\n
4. IOSCM concepts\/tools that can be applied \u2022 Describe what specific IOSCM concepts\/tools can be applied to the problem and why they are appropriate to the problem. This section should make it clear that you understand the concepts\/tools you are about to use. Since section 5 need to apply two or more IOSCM concepts, at least two IOSCM concepts need to be identified in this section. <\/p>\n
5. Application of IOSCM concepts\/tools \u2022 Choose two or more IOSCM concepts\/tools among the ones provided in section 4 and apply it to propose a solution to the problem. \u2022 This section should include your supportive evidence\/calculations in details to show how you have applied the IOSCM concept\/tool(s) to develop the solution. <\/p>\n
6. Analysis of expected results \u2022 Analyze the expected results of the proposed solution. \u2022 The expected results may include cost\/revenue impact and\/or improvement of operational performance. You must be specific to receive full credit. \u2022 Discuss the pros and cons of the suggested solution. <\/p>\n
7. Conclusion \u2022 Conclusion about the problem, IOSCM tools, analysis, and results. \u2022 Compare what\u2019s the difference between domestic and global operation supply chain management in your case. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
