SCM 405 Final Project
Your class project should be submitted in the following format
Your report needs to leave a professional business impression in both writing quality and its physical appearance. Do not try to make it unnecessary long by leaving lots of white space or large font size. At the same time you must not leave out vital information from it. Most of all it should be:
· Free of spelling and grammar errors.
· Single space with a 12-point font size
· You should have a cover page with your name(s) and relevant class information and the title of your project.
· You should have a page of Executive Summary in which you briefly describe what you were trying to accomplish, what you did, how you did it, what you found and what your recommendations and conclusions are.
· You should have an analysis page with Excel output and description in English what you are doing. This should enable someone not familiar with the Newsvendor model to understand what you are doing.
· You should have a conclusion / recommendations page describing what should be done as a result of your project.
· Please attach all data in an appendix at the end.
The following guidelines will be used in grading your Capstone Projects
· 10 points for presentation – this means that they should have the right names and section numbers on the cover page and stapled at the top. The name of the Project, the class number and who your instructor is.
· 20 points for the Executive Summary – this should describe what the project was all about, how you collected data, (actual data or surveys should be attached in an appendix) what the results were in summary. Usually one page.
· 50 points for analysis – this should include Excel output and a detail written description (preferably in English) of what all the numbers from Excel output mean and what should be inferred from them. It should describe in “English” what this analysis is all about, what assumptions you are making or challenging –if any.
· 20 points for Recommendations / Conclusion / Summary – This all can be on the same page. It describes once again the results and what they imply and any recommendations you may have as a consequence of having gone through this analysis. What would you do differently if you had more resources etcetera, or additional information.
