Task: Prepare a consultancy report based on the case study information
You will be expected to analyse and evaluate the sustainability of the organisation's supply chain and apply a tool that will facilitate improvement. The case study for you to analyse will be posted on 1st Feb 2022
1. Analysis
Analyse the sustainability performance of the case study organisations' supply chain. You should include in this analysis:
o Quantified analysis of their 002, other emissions and waste.
o Discussion of social impacts.
o Complexities of balancing environment and social aspects with business and economic success for this organisation.
2. Benchmarking
Benchmark the case study organisations' current approach to sustainability against another organisation.
Compare, contrast and critique the case study organisation with an example of best practice that was discussed at some point during the module. This should focus on the processes of procurement, production (if applicable); distribution; warehousing; transportation and logistics and packaging
3. Application
Apply one of the tools, techniques or frameworks to the case study organisation and explain the steps to improve.
This could be one of any of the following:
1. Lifecycle management
2. A specific tool for improving sourcing, production, logistics, e.g. multi-modal logistics decisions
3. Closed loop supply chains
4. Waste hierarchy application
5. ISO 14001 and/or PDCA application
6. Another tool/technique/framework as agreed with your tutor.
Explain how this tool will improve the organisation's sustainability and the steps involved. This should be an applied discussion - generic explanation of one of the tools will not yield a high mark.
4. Academic rigour
Your assignment should be written in good business English and be well-structured and presented. Your assignment should clearly include the academic insight, i.e. the concepts and the supporting references involved, indicated in the assignment and listed in the references and bibliography.
