MGT6083 Supply Chain Technology Assignment

Learning outcomes (LO) assessed:

This assignment assesses the following learning outcomes for the module

1. Critically understand the principles of various technologies in logistics and supply chain operations.
2. Critically evaluate technical and managerial issues related to the application of supply chain technologies.
3. Analyse potential challenges in adopting particular technology in the supply chain.
4. Critically evaluate the complex supply chain issues in implementing technologies in practices

Requirements:

The trans-formative potential of Emerging Supply Chain Technology Your task is to critically evaluate the technical and managerial impact of adopting a new supply chain technology into an existing product or service supply chain.

You must choose a different product or service to that which you chose for the first assignment. This essay must be written as an entirely new assignment-reutilising content from your initial submission will result in you being flagged for self-plagiarism which is a form of unfair means.

To achieve this, you are required to

• Identify, with justification, an existing product or service that you think could benefit from the adoption of a new supply chain technology.(L01)
• Select with justification one of the technologies for implementation into your chosen supply chain. (LO4)
• Provide an evaluation of the practical impact of adopting your chosen technology from both a managerial and technical perspective. (LO2)

Guidance

Identification of existing product/service [20% of overall mark]

• A statement of who the customer is and a clear identification of their requirements.
• A description of the product service specification, identifying the characteristics it must have to satisfy the customers' requirements.
• A supply chain map depicting the current supply chain and its underlying technology for the chosen product/service.

Consideration of 3 emerging supply chain technologies [25% of overall mark]

• Identify the characteristics and/or elements of the supply chain that indicate limitations with the technology currently in use.
• Ascertain how, and to what extent each of the chosen emerging technologies meet the product/service specification of the chosen supply chain.
• Provide a clear analysis of the challenges that could be faced when implementing each technology into the supply chain.
