In the light of the new vision you have developed for the interim
assessment (attached for reference), it is now time to redesign
operations processes and supply networks to deliver better value for the
customers.
Write a report that critically evaluates a process (or the operation, or
the supply network) of an organisation (service or manufacturing) you
are familiar with, and propose recommendations for improvement.
You need to use the Report Template provided. Your report should:
Describe the selected process (or operation/supply network) so that the
reader can clearly understand it. Please ensure you present a process
(or network) map to support your discussion. If the process is large,
you may focus on only a part of it, i.e. delimit the scope.
Then critically analyse and evaluate the selected process (or
operation/supply network) of the organisation using relevant operations
management principles taught in any three of the topics from the list
below.
