Module Assessment

One of the key aspects of any business (the business being considered in a broad sense) is to provide services and/or products in line with customer demands. Operations Management deals with the design and management of delivery of these products and services including processes and supply chains. The study of Operations Management involves every level i.e. strategic, tactical and operational.

TASK:

Pick an (Organisation of your choice)i have picked Burger King . You are an Operations Management Consultant. You are required to undertake an individual research project and to prepare a Management Report (6000 words+-10%) for the Board of Directors of the company. (You need to seek prior approval for the chosen organisation from the module leader before starting your research, i have already been a proved Burger King )

The key aspects that need to be covered within the report are:

• PART A
i) Critically evaluate the existing operations functions within the organisation and the role of the operations manager within the organisation. (Note: I would expect you to evaluate current practices and evaluate them in the light of standard practices within the industry that the organisation is in and how well/badly does this organisation align with the industry standards)
ii) Draw a Process Chart for the organisation showing how customers are processed through operations within the organisation. Critically discuss how the Process Management should be planned in the organization to achieve operational excellence. Support your answer by illustrating:-
• Customer service strategies
• Managing capacity and demand
• Inventory management
• Scheduling operations
• Process analysis and improvement
• Purchasing and supplier management
iii) Identify if the organisation is implementing any Lean processes. If it is then critically evaluate if what benefits it is bringing to the organisation and IF NOT then critically evaluate how implementation of lean management could benefit the organisation. (Extra credit would be provided for use of examples).

• PART B
i) Managing Capacity is the most tricky part of operations management as it is characterised by uncertainity. Using the organisation as an example you need to critically evaluate whether: “Organisations should always attempt to match its capacity to its forecast and known demand patterns or there might be situations where this might not be needed”.

• PART C
i) Collate all your finidings about the organisation and draw concrete conclusions and draw some recommendations for the organisation, which can be from the practitioner i.e. other organisations/industry or academic research.

Report Structure and Layout:

• Cover Page: Your Name and Student Number and the word count.
• Executive Summary
• Introduction (setting the scene and purpose of the report) [500 words]
• Operations Management in the Organisation highlighting the key issues as well (Part A – i) [1000 words]
• Process Management in the Organisation including the Process Chart (Part A – ii) [1500 words]
• Lean Management in the Organisation (Part A – iii) [1000 words]
• Capacity Management within the organisation. (Part B) [1000 words]
• Conclusions and Recommendations. (Part C) [1000 words]

Further tips:

• You do not need to rigidly follow the structure mentioned above. Creativity will be appreciated. Structure within the sections identified can contain further subheadings (such as Techniques, Methods, Models, Tools, Strategies etc.)
• You might want to bring in examples from other industries.
• The report MUST have a proper reference list in the end of the report.
• Try to think outside the box.

Marking and assessment criteria

• Evidence of the level of critical analysis of the issues faced by the organisation being evaluated.
• Understanding, critical evaluation and application of appropriate techniques, methods, models and tools to the issues discussed
• Appropriateness and justification of the conclusions drawn and recommendations made to address the issues identified
• Clarity and coherence of report (with regard to structure of analysis, diagnosis, correctness of spelling and grammar, appropriateness of language, accuracy of referencing including use of English and Harvard Referencing scheme).

3: Analytical Report

Order Description

APA format – at least 3 references, and with pictures/diagrams.
Short but formal analytical report based on Lannon & Gurak.
Report should be on how Wiki’s support learning. We had to write up instructions on Wiki use for mail room employees .
This report should show how wikis supports learning in a business setting, the benefits and the cost involved.
Below is from the assignment.
Because of your technical description your team knows what it does and how it could be useful.

Because of your instructions they know how to use it and can use it confidently even when you are not around to help them.

Now you have attracted the attention of upper level management as you have demonstrated leadership by providing resources to develop your employees by means of your technical writing skills. An executive asks you to write what Lannon and Gurak call a “formal analytical report” to explain how wikis support learning. This report will be distributed across the organization to encourage other supervisors, managers, and executives to consider wikis as a possibly useful resource.

This is your chance, explains the executive. Lots of people will read your report across the organization. And when I argue for your promotion from the email room to our Office of Logistics, she continues, I will use your report as evidence of your leadership, your resourcefulness, and especially as evidence of your communication skills, because that’s what we need more than anything else right now—people who can help others master tools and procedures.

So your audience has changed.

To prepare ourselves for the task of writing our short but formal analytical report we will review the three short peer-reviewed articles we read in Module 2 as well as Chapter 22 from Lannon and Gurak’s Technical Communication.

To consolidate our learning we will compose a short but formal analytical report that addresses the question, “How do wikis support learning?”
