Operations Strategy and the Supply Chain
You are to write an individual 1500 word analysis in which you consider a supply chain of your choice from the 3 angles – inline with the first 3 lectures of the module (excluding the Intro).
Your chosen supply chains will need to be in line with guidance from the teaching team.
There are three questions you must answer on your selected supply chain. It is recommended that each question is answered separately within your report and that you give approximately 400 words to each answer, leaving 300 to be split between the introduction and conclusion.
Questions to answer:
Which particular structural and/or infrastructural aspects of the supply chain contribute significantly to the good (or bad) business performance of the supply chain and why?
Identify key areas where value is added within the supply chain. Give specific examples of how value could be improved within this supply chain.
Which is the dominant order fulfillment strategy and are there any current or emerging market, product or production factors that could cause the strategy to change?
