Assignment: Management

Background

You are meeting with your management team and briefing them on observed operation problems. You are not quite sure what the root cause is yet, but you have some ideas on determining the problem and what the desired to-be condition should look like. Use this assignment as an opportunity to articulate your research proposal. Because you are researching the organization, it is appropriate to seek approval before doing so. In this assignment, you aim to get approval.

Instructions

Your project should consist of no more than 10 slides. Use bullet points to explain your messaging and avoid paragraph statements. Your arguments should be cited throughout the presentation. Any metrics used in your presentation can be considered grey literature and should be cited as such. Aim for an 8-12-minute recorded presentation.

Articulate the operations management problem in the organization. Incorporate all feedback from the draft slides from week one and prepare to talk about the proposed problem.

You are expected to discuss the following information:

Introduce the organization.

Expand on the as-is operations management condition.

Mention the 3-5 problem statements you want to address in your research.
