Module Title: Supply Chain and Operations Management
Module Number: 214LON
The assessment for this module comprises two parts:
1. Group presentation and oral test (Week 6) accounts for 40% of the final mark for this module;
2. Individual assignment (Week 11) accounts for 60% of the final mark for this module. This document provides detailed requirements for the second part of assessment.
Individual Assignment – Rationale:
During the study of this module, we have discussed a variety of topics within the domain of operations and supply chain management, including operations strategy, performance evaluation, project management, process design, service/product design, supply chain network design, layout design, supply chain management, to name a few.
In learning these topics, we have taken different activities, such as case studies, group presentations, problem-solving exercises, field observations, and simulation games to help us not only to understand the concepts and theoretical frameworks we learned, but more importantly, to be able to think independently and critically, and apply the theories from books to real-life problems.
This individual assignment is designed to provide you an opportunity to demonstrate just that – your capability as a critical and independent thinker. You may also want to take this opportunity to demonstrate to the examiners your great understanding in the topics, ability to apply the theories to real businesses, and ability to conduct research on your own and write a good essay about it.
Requirements:
Within the scope of supply chain and operations management, choose one topic that you are most interested in. Write an essay of 2,500 words to discuss this topic in-depth.
Your essay is required to include:
1) a critical literature review of the topic of your choice. The literature review will provide a summary of recent research conducted in your topic area. Try to identify the main theories and latest development in the area and critically review their findings. And
2) a case study. Use a case of real business to discuss how the theories in your topic area can be applied to the case.
The essay should be written following a logical structure, with an introduction section at the beginning and a summary/conclusion section at the end, followed by references (compulsory) and appendix (optional). You should ensure the information acquired from various sources are critically evaluated and appropriately referenced.

Assessment Criteria
A detailed Grade Mark Scheme is available on Moodle. Mark on your assignment will be given on the basis of this scheme.
Use of Turnitin
1. Whenever requested by your module leader, you should upload a WORD copy of your work onto the relevant icon on your module web for plagiarism checking. If you do not do this then your work will not be marked.
2. Drafts of assessed work for any particular module should only be uploaded onto the draft icon on that module web, as this draft icon will be configured so that the final submission will not flag up overlaps with the draft submission. If you submit a draft onto any other module web then Turnitin will identify any overlaps with your final submission as plagiarised.
3. You should never submit anyone else’s work onto Turnitin under your own name and you should never ask anyone else to submit your work onto Turnitin under their name.
4. Normally students are only allowed to submit one draft of an assessment via Turnitin. If the guidance on plagiarism has been followed, and the student has written the work themselves, this should be sufficient.
IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ THIS WARNING REGARDING PLAGIARISM
Assessments must be all your own work and must not have been copied in part or in whole from any other source, such as books or the internet, or from other students’ work. If you wish to use another author’s exact words in a short quotation this must be clearly marked up in inverted commas with the exact source given, including page number, so that the reader can clearly see which words have been copied and are not your own. Just quoting references used at the end is not sufficient.
