Principles of Operations Management- Supply Chain

Write an essay on the “supply chain” of a particular product of your choice. In your essay you should focus on the following key tasks: • Map the supply chain of your product (at least up to 4 layers of supply chain) and critically analyse the role of different firms / companies involved in this supply chain. • Critically discuss the potential challenges of effectively managing this supply chain and provide your recommendations to address these challenges. • Critically analyse the environmental issues in relation to your selected supply chain, and review the green practices currently being adopted in the supply chain. In your essay, you should incorporate your independent thinking and use real-life examples to support your arguments. You should also cite different literature, newspaper reports and journal articles to frame and justify your arguments.
