The objective of the Course Project is to provide the opportunity for students to select and focus on a product or service in an area they can directly apply to their professional endeavors.

Students will demonstrate their knowledge and skills in Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 of this Course Project. For example, students can develop a holistic supply chain process for a product or service that can be used to guide a supply chain process. This would include an understanding of supply chain risk with appropriate mitigation.

Course Project: Supply Chain Product/Service Plan Part 2: Develop a manufacturing, MRP, Logistics, and Quality Management Plan

• Develop a manufacturing or service plan with a process flow with areas of risk identified. Detail out a location, logistics, and distribution plan with areas of identified risk. Provide mitigation associations with each identified risk.
• Explain the importance of having a robust standard material requirement planning (MRP) program including location, logistics, and distribution plan.
• Provide examples that support the following elements: (1) forecasts of demand, (2) firm orders, (3) engineering design changes, and (4) inventory transactions.
• Provide examples of each dimension of quality. Describe how the concepts of Six Sigma could be applied. Explain how the analytical tools for Six Sigma and continuous improvement (DMAIC) could be applied to optimize the supply chain.

Guidelines for the Supply Chain Plan Part 2 assignment are as follows.

• It should be a 5-page written paper (double spaced), Times New Roman, and 10 font.
• Directly apply the concepts of Modules 1 and 2 to your selected product or service.
• Each weighted section should be a minimum of one (1) full page of written content.
• See the table below for section details.
