Prepare a report outlining your business from an operations perspective. Note: it should be your own business idea. You should do the appropriate research (e.g. talking to operations managers in companies similar to your proposed business, online resources, etc.). You may choose a goods or services based firm.
Your report will cover the following topics:
- Strategic direction; including mission, competitive dimensions, order qualifiers, order winners, etc.
- Flow chart for the operations of the company
- Facility location using factor weighting method
- Capacity planning for facilities, equipment, and workforce (including breakeven analysis)
- Distribution
- Quality assurance (including the use of six sigma tools)
- Supplier selection and cooperation
- Inventory management methods selected (e.g. single period, continuous, periodic)
***References: Be sure to include a list of any references you used for the report as well as citing them within the paper itself.
