In CLA1 you were able to identify key aspects to operations management. You presented topics such as product and service design, capacity planning and strategies to increase quality without
sacrificing performance. In this assignment, we want to move towards a larger picture of the organization in terms of how internal and external processes work together as a system that rounds
out operations management. Your job is to present an analysis that ties inputs, outputs, and material requirements to planning, forecasting, and supply chain management. A logistics analysis should
also be presented.
Your analysis should include aspects of linear programming, various types of manufacturing
models (when manufacturing products), and rely on competing internationally via the effective use of Supply Chain Management and Logistics. Your response must demonstrate your ability to
think critically and to solve problems that have to do operations management and the relationship of activities involving procurement to delivery of the product.
