Operations/Supply Chain Management Plan Outline for XYZ Company

 

Develop a two to four-page outline that explains the key points to building an Operations/Supply Chain Management Plan for a specific company (student selected and instructor approved). The company is to be an actual business (perhaps in the student’s geographic area or something they have purchased or used); either a product or a service with sales between $500,000 to and $10 million. The purpose of the assignment is to have students develop their plan and outline for the Signature Assignment which will ask them to discuss and show the entire supply chain (in graphics as well as an 8 – 10-page paper) of how materials are sourced, developed, built, packaged, stored, packaged, transported and stored and to develop the customer experience feedback loop. They are to include sustainability issues as well as cost of goods sold (COGS). It is recommended that students choose a product over a service as the assignment will be easier using a product.
