PART B , Second part of assignment Professional Report of about 2000 words (excluding table of contents and appendix). This part of the report builds on assignment 1 (Part A). Requirements: Assume you are a student at the Melbourne Polytechnic and working part time as a supply chain analyst at both organisations you have identified in Part A. The director of supply chain of each organisation has asked you to analyse the status of the organisation’s supply chain and in the context of Australian supply chain and e-business environment. As a supply chain analyst, you will analyse and evaluate the two organisations’ supply chain management, logistics processes and their use of ebusiness technologies, and recommend improvements to their strategies and processes. With the material you prepared in report 1, write an essay of your findings in a report that should cover the following aspects: 1. Using the models you identified in the literature review in report 1, analyse the existing supply chains of your chosen case studies. Make sure to discuss aspects of the supply chains that match your chosen model as well as those which do not match. 2. From your analysis, draw conclusions on the current health of the supply chain and use the modes to make some recommendations that may either help identify improvements in the supply chain or make recommendations for improvements in the supply chain. 3. Write an executive summary for the report (Max 1 paragraph – ½ page) 4. Prepare a final report document that includes the material from your first assignment. The final report must be laid out in the following format: Cover Page Executive Summary Table of Contents Introduction Description of organisation 1 (From Part A) go in more details Description of organisation 2 (From Part A) go in more details Comparison of Supply chains (From Part A) go in more details Literature Review (From Part A) go in more details Analysis of Organisation 1 Recommendations and Conclusions, Organisation 1 Analysis of Organisation 2 Recommendations and Conclusions, Organisation 2 References Your document must include headers with the document title, footers with your name, student ID and page number. References must be in the Harvard format. Some presentation tips: You should assume that while the audience is not familiar with the particular case study, they have some knowledge of the fundamentals of supply chains. For instance, while you would not expect to need to explain SCOR, you might need to use it to explain your analysis. Delivery Do not read out a prepared speech. Do not use slides unless they are needed (tables, graphs, pictures). Either use cards (with few words) that are small enough to fit in your hand (business card size is good) or make a sheet with big print headings (and nothing else) and lay it on the table where you can glance at it occasionally. Do not block the projector. Preparation Structure your presentation. There is much to be gained from organising what you will say. Make sure you have a suitable introduction and conclusion. Prepare your speaker’s notes in the form of brief headings, and use these as prompts. If you are familiar with the material (as you ought) then you should be able to talk about it. Practice your presentation. If you have not given it out loud (preferably to a friend) you haven’t prepared it. Slides should support your presentation, not replace it. Find an opportunity before your presentation to see how the projection system works. For detailed assessment criteria refer to the attached document.
