Supply Chain Management

Overview
The individual project word count is 3000 (excluding references, table of contents, and appendices where used), with +/-10% limits allowed. The project accounts for 100% of your overall module marks. The aim of this individual project is threefold:

• To help students relate the concepts and themes covered in the class to existing supply chain operations;
• To encourage creativity and innovative thinking around supply chain operations management, sustainability and digitalisation based on the analysis of relevant information;
• To enable students to enhance their critical thinking as well as concise and critical writing skills.

Your report needs to be submitted electronically to MyAberdeen. Late submission will attract a mark penalty unless an extension has been approved by the MBA office. Please familiarise yourself with the extenuating circumstances policy and process for submitting a claim.

Detailed guidelines
You will need to apply concepts from the class to analyse or address a specific supply chain problem or issue. This could be the operations and supply chain practices behind the production of a specific item (product or service). You could choose a specific industry or company or product.
