8. Assessment Feedback

Feedback on items of assessment can be formal (such as on a signed feedback form) or informal (such as advice from a tutor in a tutorial). Feedback is therefore not just your grade or the comments written on your feedback form, it is advice you get from your tutor and sometimes your peers about how your work is progressing, how well you have done, what further actions you might take.

We recognise the value of prompt feedback on work submitted. Other than in exceptional circumstances (such as might be caused by staff illness), you can expect your work to be marked and feedback provided not more than 15 working days from the deadline date. However, please note that such feedback will be provisional and unconfirmed until the Assessment Board has met and may therefore be subject to change.

Please take time to read or listen to your assessment feedback. This can be very useful in determining your strengths and key areas for development, and can therefore help you improve on future grades.

12. Guidelines for the Preparation and Submission of Written Assessments

Written assessments should be word-processed in Arial or Calibri Light font size 12. There should be double-spacing and each page should be numbered.

There should be a title page identifying the programme name, module title, assessment title, your student number, your marking tutor and the date of submission.

You should include a word-count at the end of the assessment (excluding references, figures, tables and appendices).

Where a word limit is specified, the following penalty systems applies:

Up to 10% over the specified word length = no penalty

10 20% over the specified indicative word length = 5 marks subtracted (but if the assessment would normally gain a pass mark, then the final mark to be no lower than the pass mark for the assessment).

More than 20% over the indicative word length = if the assessment would normally gain a pass mark or more, then the final mark will capped at the pass mark for the assessment.

All written work should be referenced using the standard University of Bolton referencing style see: https://libguides.bolton.ac.uk/resources/referencing/Unless otherwise notified by your Module Tutor, electronic copies of assignments should be saved as word documents and uploaded into Turnitin via the Moodle class area. If you experience problems in uploading your work, then you must send an electronic copy of your assessment to your Module Tutor via email BEFORE the due date/time.

Please note that when you submit your work to Moodle, it will automatically be checked for matches against other electronic information, as well as for hidden text characters and AI generated text. You will be able to see similarity matches but not currently flags for hidden characters and AI-generated text. The outcomes of Turnitin reports may be used as evidence in an academic misconduct investigation (see Section 14).

Late work

Late work will be subject to the following penalties:

Up to 7 calendar days late = 10 marks subtracted but if the assignment would normally gain a pass mark, then the final mark to be no lower than the pass mark for the assignment.

More than 7 calendar days late = This will be counted as non-submission and no marks will be recorded.

Late submission of assessments on refer and those which are graded Pass/Fail only, is not permitted unless an extension is approved. See below.

Extensions

In the case of exceptional and unforeseen circumstances, an extension of up to 14 days after the assessment deadline may be requested using the standard University Extension Request Form. For approval there would need to be an explanation and evidence of relevant circumstances.

Longer extensions for individual assessments, projects and artefacts may be granted, at the discretion of the Programme Leader.

Requests for extensions which take a submission date past the end of the module (normally week 15) must be made using the Mitigating Circumstances procedure.

Some students with registered disabilities will be eligible for revised submission deadlines. Revised submission deadlines for disability adjustments do not require the completion extension request paperwork. However, students should request these in writing in advance.

Please note that the failure of data storage systems is not considered to be a valid reason for an extension. It is therefore important that you keep multiple copies of your work on different storage devices before submitting it.

13. Procedures for Other Assessments

Please see the assignment brief for all assessment procedures. The submission deadline date is indicated on the assessment deadline.

14. Academic Misconduct

Academic misconduct may be defined as any attempt by a student to gain an unfair advantage in any assessment. This includes plagiarism, collusion, commissioning (contract cheating) amongst other offences. In order to avoid these types of academic misconduct, you should ensure that all your work is your own and that sources are attributed using the correct referencing techniques. You can also check originality through Turnitin.

Please note that penalties apply if academic misconduct is proven. See the following link for further details:

Learning Outcomes Assessed:

LO1: Demonstrate a systematic and critical understanding of the theory and practice of modern logistics and operations management in global business contexts.

LO2: Design or redesign logistics and operations systems for effective order fulfilment to meet a specific pattern of demand for products, including facility location, warehousing and distribution and transportation modes.

LO3: Appraise current and emerging practice(s) in logistics and operations management in the context of sustainable supply chains.

Assignment Task One Portfolio (70% of Total Marks) 3000 words

Assessment Brief

There are two items of assessment: The first is a portfolio in which you present a proposal for a logistics system implementation project supported through the use of project planning software. The portfolio should include critical reflection of how the project meets the learning outcomes. [COHERENCE, CHOICE and CONSOLIDATION]

Critical thinking skills will be taught in-class.

Students will be advised from Week 1 to check on LEAP Online available via: https://www.bolton.ac.uk/leaponline/My-Academic-Development/My-Writing-Techniques/Critical-Thinking.aspx

Tasks will be completed incrementally during the semester culminating in the submission of a final portfolio.

Specifically, your Portfolio should include 2 Mini Reports https://leaponline.bolton.ac.uk/My-Academic-Development/My-Writing-Techniques/Critical-Thinking.aspx (1500 words each):

Mini Report #1 (50 Marks)

Task:

For a commercial organisation approved by the module instructor, describe its industry sector, organisational structure, range of products provided, as well as the typical demographic profiles of its clients. Drawing on this information, sketch out current logistics and distribution strategy for the organisation. [COHORT]

Review current distribution strategy (in task 1) and make proposal for a Logistics System Implementation Project that you believe will be an improvement on what currently obtains.

Select and critically apply an analytical tool to solve anticipated problems for your chosen organisation for logistics implementation in terms of facility location and fleet composition and sizing.

Mini Report #2 (50 Marks)

Preamble 1:

New outsourcing models have helped spark significant changes in the field of logistics and physical distribution. The role of third-party logistics providers (3PLs) has expanded into areas such as reverse logistics.

3PLs now have growing involvement in end-to-end customer service and managing the flow of goods both upstream and downstream. The growing recognition of the benefits of outsourcing has even facilitated the rise of a new type of logistics service provider, fourth-party logistics providers (4PLs) who manage relationships with 3PLs on behalf of client firms.

Task:

Critically analyse how innovative outsourcing models are helping traditional logistics companies to offer their business customers additional value-added services. Argue, with specific reference to your assigned organisation, how the provision of such value-added services positively impacts the relationships between logistics companies and their business customers. [CONTEMPORARY]

Preamble 2:

Companies use RFID technologies for logistics and distribution in a number of areas. Unique characteristics of RFID technologies make them suitable for addressing a wide range of logistics and distribution issues. These characteristics include the amount of data an RFID chip can store, their resistance to damage and their ability to be read without establishing a line of sight.

Task:

Generate a critical analysis of the applicability of RFID technology for solving an anticipated problem or issue related to logistics and distribution of a product from your assigned organisation. Suggest specifically how RFID could be used to counteract or resolve the specific issue or problem you identified above.

Preamble 3:

Logistics is often cited as being particularly bad for the environment. Moving goods from one place to another uses fuel and pollutes the air. As a result, logistics organisations seek ways to reduce their environmental footprint. How they reduce that footprint varies in approach and success rate.

Tasks:

Review with the reference to your assigned organisation, an evaluation of what you believe is the best approach to reducing the environmental footprint of logistics.

Reflect critically on effectiveness of Logistics Implementation Project above. [CHALLENGE]
