Part 1

The outline for my paper was easy for the most part since I started my rough draft of my claim paper before starting my outline based on the Unit 6 Instructions on ‘Writing Your Paper’. I basically completed my simple outline out of order but by doing it again it made me think more about the structure of my paper. The difficult part of my outline was the subtitling. I had to research the parts of the main body and figure out what they meant; methods, results and discussion. I had to alter the meanings of these subtitles to fit a claim paper not just a research paper presenting factual information on a topic. I had to review these categories before choosing which points I wanted to make.

While gathering research I experienced the challenge of choosing what exactly my claim was going to be. I had a main idea but ended up altering my claim statement a number of times in order to properly support the research I had done on my topic. I was getting lost in what specific points to gather research on. As I went on to my outline I found my way through the main points and ended up gathering new research as I figured out the titles and subtitles of each section to support my claim.

While organizing my paper I had additional questions and needed to research in detail how to put each category together and what points to review in each category. I found Purdue OWL website to be helpful in getting more detailed guidance on English composition terms and APA formatting. I also used citationmachine.net to guide me on how to properly cite sources in APA formatting.

Part 2

Abstract

2.       Introduction

a)       This paper will examine the impact of 3-D printing on the international supply chain.

i)                    The topic is important in examining 3-D printing as a source of significant value chains that originate from the international supply chain.

ii)                  The question of whether 3-D printing is feasible is answered with a focus on the manufacturing sector, which is integral to the international supply chain network.

b)      Statement of the Problem: Notes the problems associated with traditional supply chains in the international market.3-D printing technology is the solution to the highlighted issues of research and implementation.

c)       Definition of Terms: The terms defined in the study are:

i)                    3-D printing

ii)                  Additive manufacturing

iii)                Global logistics industry

iv)                 Construction ideals

d)      Claim Statement

3.       Significance of the Study: Literature concerning the impact of 3-D printing on the international supply chain tends to be concerned more with the reflow in the manufacturing sector and supply chain transformations.

4.       Thesis: 3-D printing technology, also called additive manufacturing, has the potential to improve international supply chain through such changes as dematerializing it, creating a customized just-in-time manufacturing cycle, reducing the setup and changeover time and cost, and the number of assembles.

5.       Background of the Research: The motivation behind this research paper is that 3-D printing, as an emerging technology, has the potential to create substantial economies of scale that benefit the producer and make companies more profitable.

6.       Discussion

a)       Customization

b)       Reduced product development costs

c)       Making best custom parts

d)       Model construction

e)       The change on material loss

f)        Change of the processing site

g)       Change of the 3-D printing site in the supply chain

 

7.       Conclusion

Write a paragraph describing the challenges experienced while creating the outline for the paper.

What challenges did you experience gathering research?

The difficulty I had was finding enough data to complete my thoughts. The other problem is finding information to complete the 8 to 10 page requirement. Thankfully, the topics given to us are mainstream topics in today’s environment which gives us plenty of information to pick from. The last issue that that with so much information how to pick the more credible data. For my paper I chose to use less information from blog and use data from more credible resources.
