Introduction to Supply Chain Management
Deliverable Length: 3-4 pages (Body) in APA format
Scenario
Congratulations on your recent promotion to engagement manager for a consulting
company. Your new role will leverage your skills in supply chain management
consulting, logistics, and procurement for various industries, which will offer
many challenging opportunities.
The company is a 100-person consulting with a core group of four procurement
specialists and a client base of one automobile parts supply chain. Its mission is
to reduce delivery time, inventory cycle times, and costs associated with supply
chain management for its customers.
Assignment
The company has been approached by a local hospital inquiring about the company’s
ability to improve its logistics and supply chain while maintaining its customer
value. It currently has a rudimentary, localized operation in place without an
overall governance or strategy process in place. The company has requested an
initial briefing on modern supply chain management techniques. Using course
materials and other resources, develop a paper for the hospital management
consisting of the following sections:
Define supply chain management.
Describe the essential components of a typical supply chain management process, and
define the components using examples.
Define push, pull, and hybrid high-level; recommend one for the hospital, and
rationalize your recommendation.
Submitting your assignment in APA format means, at a minimum, you will need the
following:
Title page: Remember the running head. The title should be in all capitals.
Abstract: A summary of your paper, not an introduction. Begin writing in third-
person voice.
Body: The body of your paper begins on the page following the title page and
abstract page and must be double-spaced (be careful not to triple- or quadruple-
space between paragraphs). The type face should be 12-pt. Times Roman or 12-pt.
Courier in regular black type. Do not use color, bold type, or italics except as
required for APA-level headings and references. The deliverable length of the body
of your paper for this assignment is 2–3 pages. In-body academic citations to
support your decisions and analysis are required. A variety of academic sources is
encouraged.
Reference page: References that align with your in-body academic sources are listed
on the final page of your paper. The references must be in APA format using
appropriate spacing, hang indention, italics, and upper- and lowercase usage as
appropriate for the type of resource used. Remember, the Reference Page is not a
bibliography but a further listing of the abbreviated in-body citations used in the
paper. Every referenced item must have a corresponding in-body citation.
