Question

The Operations Management module is assessed by an individual written report that deals with the application of one or more aspects of the theory taught on the course in the context of an organisation you are familiar with or of your own choice OR to discuss any of the operations management topics as it applies today: Thus your options are:

Question 1
To apply the material covered in any ONE of the operations management topics (Capacity Management, Quality Management, Inventory Management, Process Analysis & Improvement, Design & Variety or Operations Strategy & Supply Chain Management) your own sphere of influence.

OR

Question 2
Evaluate the utility and relevance of any ONE (Capacity Management, Quality Management, Inventory Management, Process Analysis & Improvement, Design & Variety or Operations Strategy & Supply Chain Management) of the operations management topics to the contemporary business environment.

Question 1 offers the opportunity (if this is available to you within your organisation) to carry out research into the way a particular aspect of the module material works or does not work in your own sphere of influence – within your organisation. As an example, your organisation could be introducing quality management or lean management techniques, thus giving you the opportunity to discuss the theory and how well this applies in practice from your own experience, comparing and contrasting the two.

Question 2 offers the opportunity to further develop your knowledge in an area that is of interest to you. For example, should you have developed an interest in approaches to organising suppliers and wish to extend your knowledge, it is acceptable within the assignment requirements to research into the topic and to present your research as your assignment. This work does not need to be related to your organisation – it can relate to any organisation(s) currently in existence, i.e. the contemporary business environment.

The word count for the assignment is very small, hence the emphasis on ONE topic. There is inevitably some overlap between concepts, so please use your intelligence when scoping your response. It is very difficult to treat a very broad subject like ‘supply chain management’ with sufficient insight to score high marks. If a broad topic interests you, we advise you to pick a specific aspect of it to focus on.
