Research your chosen business organization’s operations and supply chain practices in depth and
write a 3000-word research report based on your findings. For the business organization that you
choose, first make sure that there is adequate information available about the organization in the
public domain (company website, reliable third-party websites with relevant contents, etc). It is
recommended that you select a large, well-known company rather than a small, obscure business.
Typically, students have found large mining/manufacturing and retail companies to be ideal for this
assignment from the point of view of accessing adequate data and information. Please bear in mind
that you will need detailed operational/logistics information about your chosen business in order to
write a comprehensive report as digital information retrieval is a key aspect of this assessment.
Your report should identify relevant sustainability aspects of the organization’s current operations
and supply chain. In your write-up, you are expected to articulate accurate understanding and
suitable incorporation of at least one relevant operations/supply chain management (SCM) theory
or concept from the weekly lectures and prescribed topic readings up to Week 7 of the trimester.
Specific requirements
Your submitted research report should specifically address/focus on the following four key aspects:
- Provide a brief descriptive profile of your chosen business organization (e.g., nature of the
business, level of competition it faces, target customers, recent financial performance etc.) - Identify some of the major suppliers/sources of supply for your chosen business
organization and provide a descriptive analysis of the company’s current operational andPage 2 of 9
supply chain practices. ‘Current’ here can mean either before the onset of the Covid-19
pandemic or at present i.e., during the Covid-19 pandemic. In writing your descriptive
analysis, it is very important that you clearly articulate your understanding of at least one
aspect of OM/SCM theory as covered in the weekly classes up to Week 7 of the trimester.
(Please do not try to incorporate everything covered in the classes up to Week 7 – you can
pick and choose one or two relevant aspects of theory that best fits your research context). - To what extent do you think are the business organization’s operations management and
supply chain practices sustainable? What evidence can you find through your online
research about the business organization’s ongoing relationship with its key suppliers?
Provide recommendations to maintain/improve the sustainability of the organization’s
operations and supply chain practices (you can assume either a pre- or post-Covid scenario). - Sudden, unforeseen events with global ramifications can impact a business organization’s
ability to source key raw materials and/or deliver finished products to target markets. This
can be no truer than what we are seeing in the current world situation where the Covid-19
pandemic has severely impacted global supply chains. In your opinion, how resilient are the
operations and supply chain practices of your chosen business organization to future
disruptive events? What further recommendations can you give to improve their resilience?
