QSO 630: Term Project Guidelines and Grading Guide Overview The term project for this course is the creation of a supply chain management plan. Based on the knowledge obtained in this course and previous course work, you examine supply chain management. Make sure to include topics discussed throughout this course. The class will be divided into groups (three students maximum per group). You will work with one of the following industries for this assignment:

 Personal Computers

 Automobiles

 Books

 Pharmaceuticals

 Furniture Once your group and industry are defined, begin to find at least one company in the industry that you can study. You will be asked to evaluate various aspects of the supply chain for the industry. As a group you must develop a summary of your findings.

Your group will have a wiki in which to work and develop your plan. While the wiki is not graded the instructor will provide weekly feedback to the wiki. In addition completion of the weekly tasks in your group wiki will contribute towards the “Milestone Submission” critical element of the rubric. The project is divided in to three milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Five, Seven, and Nine. Main Elements Industry and Customer Value Once your group and industry are defined, research and brainstorm a list of factors that are valuable to the customers of your industry. Write a summary of your findings. Network Design Work with your group to research and brainstorm a list of criteria a company in the industry may use to select the following:

 Suppliers

 3PL Firms

 Distribution Centers

 Retail Stores

 Write a summary of your findings.

Pricing Management Work with your group to research and brainstorm how you might use customer categories for product pricing. Be sure to identify the categories a company would choose and provide reasons for your decisions. Inventory Management Work with your group to determine whether the supply chain sells seasonal or generic products or both. Interview a manager of a retail store in the industry. The goal of the interview is to learn the inventory policies adopted by their store for order quantity, safety stock and reorder level. Write a summary of your findings. Distribution Strategy Work with your group to select a centralized and decentralized distribution strategy. Research your selection and provide reasoning for the selection. Identify potential risks based on your distribution strategy. Write a summary of your findings. Product Supply Contracts Work with your groups to identify the appropriate production strategy and contracts for the supply chain. Be aware that multiple strategies may be employed. If more than one strategy is used, be sure to discuss when the contract approach is used and why. Write a summary of your findings. Performance Measurement and Executive Summary Work with your group to interview managers of the manufacturers, distributors, retailers and third-party logistics companies that are part of the supply chain you are researching. Find out how each measure the supply chain performance and how they attempt to perform better than their competitors. Write a summary of your findings and provide an overview of your entire proposal in an Executive Summary. Format Milestone One: Summary In 5-6 Term Project: Continue Working and Submit Summary, you will submit a summary of your project. This milestone is not graded but you will receive feedback from the instructor. Milestone Two: Rough Draft of Final Product In 7-5 Term Project: Continue Working and Submit a Draft, you will submit a draft of your project. This milestone is not graded but you will receive feedback from the instructor. Milestone Three: Final Product In 9-5 Term Project: Interview Managers and Complete the Final Project Paper, you will submit your Term Project. It should be a complete, polished artifact containing all of the main elements of the final product. It should reflect the incorporation of feedback gained throughout the course. This milestone will be graded using the Final Product Rubric. In Module 9 you will be asked to fill out the Group Member Evaluation Form. Responses will contribute to the “Teamwork” critical element of the rubric. Deliverable Milestones Milestone Deliverables
