Unit $4$ Assignment: Supply Issues in Supply Chain Management

This assignment will assess your knowledge based on the following Outcome:

MT$433-2$: Evaluate supply issues in supply chain management.

In this assignment, you are going to analyze the supply strategy of an organization. Preferably, you will select the organization where you currently work or one where you previously worked. If this is not possible, you may select a well$-$known company on which you will be able to gather significant supply chain information.

However, if you need to choose this route, you must communicate with your instructor through email first$-$ explain why you are not able to use your personal work experience, and propose a company on which you will write your paper. Your instructor will let you know how to proceed. You need to do this early in the week so you have time to agree on a company. Failing to do this on time is not an excuse for submitting your assignment late, or using a company without approval.

In order to complete this assignment, you may need to first collect information from your organization. Start this process early in the week so to ensure you have all the information you need.

There are many supply issues that will impact a company$$s operation. Supply management professionals must be able to recognize these, evaluate their importance and prioritize them. Based on these priorities they must ensure the right suppliers are selected and managed.
