The student is expected to write the case study, which should focus on the chapters of the text we have covered up to that point.

This is an opportunity for students to explore what are the latest developments in operations management. The work includes review the past, current and future of the industrial practice/theory/methodology on a selected topic.

The students are expected to look into two organizations worldwide to see how they benefited (or suffered) from the implementing the related theory or practice; and to identify what lessons we can learn from the example.

Finally the students are also expected to make critical comments on the theory or practice. Each group is to present their findings to the class and make submission afterwards.

Please limit your submission to 10 pages of content (using a 12 point font and 1½ line spacing with at least 1” margins).

General grading criteria for Assignments

The marks are divided into four broad area:

Assessment of the organization’s current situation (25%): Have you appropriately identified and assessed the organization’s current situation? Is your description clear and accurate?

Analysis and solutions (30%): Operational decisions are based on a proper analysis of the root causes and identifying of various options. In your writing and based on your observations, have you identified a viable recommendation, or set of alternatives to choose from? Is your recommendation within the firm’s ability to reach it and sustain it? Is it in keeping with the organization’s goals?

Assessment of recommendation’s benefits (20%): Have you objectively considered what the future state might be for the organization if it pursues your recommendation? What are the risks of your recommendations? What would need to change for your recommendation to take hold? What timeline do you think will need to be applied to your recommendation?

Proofreading and clarity of your writing will affect your overall grade (25%).
