- Choose an Operations and Supply Chain Management concept/tool or a set of concepts/tools among the ones provided in section 4 and apply it to propose a solution to the problem.
- In this section you "must show your calculations", which means that you must use real or estimated/simulated data in solving the problem or analyzing the process. It is NOT acceptable to provide only general descriptions of how the concepts/tools can be applied.
6. Analysis of expected results
- Analyze the expected results of the proposed solution. You should compare between before and after the implementation of the proposed solution and justify the proposed solution clearly.
