Assessment:

LO 1: Critically analyse logistics and supply chain management issues
LO 2: Apply relevant theories and methods for managing supply chains
LO 3: Analyse and map logistics and supply chain processes of goods and services

Purpose
Supply chains experienced a major shock during the COVID-19 pandemic. Particularly, their performances in terms of environmental sustainability and sustainable development goals (SDGs) have been greatly affected. This assignment aims to investigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the sustainable development goals (SDGs) performance of an agribusiness/food supply chain in Australia during and after the pandemic. Note that the subject of Assignment 3 is related to Assignment 1.

Task details
Each student needs to work on the topic "Supply chain sustainability analysis during and after the COVID-19 pandemic", and conduct an in-depth analysis of the supply chain sustainability issues which are affected by the pandemic such as carbon emission, clean energy consumption, or good health and well-being.

Instructions
Each student needs to recognize at least 4 relevant goals (from the 17 SDGs defined by the United Nations) for analysing the supply chain sustainability performance and explain the goals' importance during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, social distancing and new shopping behaviours during the pandemic can be discussed from the viewpoint of SDGs performance of the supply chain. To support your arguments, you should consider the typical supply chain recognized in Assignment 1. Comparable tables and numerical evidence are suggested for analysis of the pandemic effects.

The second part of analysis is related to the investigation of how the redesign of structures, replanning of performance, and technological and social innovations help the supply chain to improve its SDGs. For instance, the pandemic caused many supply chains to rely on their local networks. You may discuss the effects of localization decisions of the supply chain managers during and after the pandemic through the lens of SDGs. Note that the above description is just an example to give some suggestions about the assignment.

Besides, the report should adopt the following format:

(1) Executive Summary (Summarise the topic of the investigation, the analysis, and the conclusions of the study in one page).

(2) Table of Contents (List the sections and subsections with corresponding page numbers on a separate page).

(3) List of Figures (List the figure numbers and captions with corresponding page numbers on a separate page whenever figures are used in the report).

(4) List of Tables (List the table numbers and captions with corresponding page numbers on a separate page whenever tables are used in the report).

(5) Overview of the sustainable development goals related to the supply chain (The definition of goals, their importance, and supply chain performance regarding the SDGs).

(6) Real-World Case (Provide an overview of the challenges and opportunities for supply chain sustainability during and after the COVID-19 pandemic).

(7) Discussion (Demonstrate using adequate evidence that the points discussed can be witnessed in the supply chain performance during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.)

(8) Issues identified (Identify the issues encountered by the company in leveraging the supply chain sustainability and how these issues are resolved or overcome by the firm to achieve success after the pandemic).

(9) Conclusion (Summarise the study and give insight based on the analysis and the findings).

(10) References (List at least 3 references used in the report in Academy of Management Referencing Style. Note that your reference list is not included in your total word count).

(11) Appendix (Show any additional information about the case company that will be useful for the reader).
