MGT-3323: Production/Operations Management

Team Project Guidelines and Rubric

Overview: Identify an operation that you would like present to this class. This can be a company you work for or an organization you admire. Preferably, you are encouraged to choose a company which is based in DFW area. You must show examples of at least three topics from the textbook, as they appear in the context of your chosen operation. Your presentation should be from 15-20 minutes long, and people should feel that you gave them a ‘tour’ of the operation, pointing out textbook topics as they appear at this company.

Guidelines:

1. Be careful to distinguish “what the company does well” from “what the company does”.

2. It is certainly okay to introduce the company/organization you are currently working for.

3. Please avoid companies that are frequently discussed during classes (e.g., Walmart, Apple, Amazon, etc.)

Notes:

1. The team assignment will be posted on Blackboard so you can find your team members.

2. Presentations will take place right before the final exam.

3. The presentation order will be posted on Blackboard.

4. There will be one or more in-class team meetings.

Submission: Please submit your presentation by 10:00 PM on Monday, November 29th to Blackboard.
