Zeta Spin – Social media explosion 011.docx ACTIONS Your individual coursework will be marked as follows: Scenario Analysis- Describe the current situation with the given case study what is they current capabilities within supply chain management and details the opportunities with future growth of the company. 30% Supply chain strategies – Define how the case study could establish a global supply chain making reference to a supply chain theory such as Porters SCOR and the impact on the company structure. The strategies must include references to the advantages and disadvantages to supply chain outsourcing risk management competitors analysis impact of future technologies in sharing information throughout the supply chain. With the different split of potential markets and manufacturing locations please find provide different strategies which could affect the supply of parts from manufacturing to the end customer. 30% Conclusion and recommendations – Provide a clear set of recommendations defining your ideas how to establish a supply chain based off your academic research. 30% Academic Rigour – Your assignment should clearly include the academic insight i.e. the concepts and the supporting references involved indicated in the report and listed in the references and bibliography. 10% This assignment is submitted via TurnitinUK. This assessment will also develop your analytical skills as you will analyse the case. It will also test your ability to seek out further information as there is more information available about the organisations. The assignment is an individual piece of work that is designed to develop your ability to convey your ideas and your report writing skills. A++ = 90-100%Exceptional exploration and evaluation of the scenario. This has been conceptualised in an innovative way. Furthermore the aligned supply chain evaluation is extraordinarily original and well-considered.A+ = 80-89%Outstanding evaluation of one of the scenarios. The supply chain evaluation provided is aligned with the analysis completely and are original.A = 70-79%There is an excellent level of analysis of a scenario. The analysis benefitted from the adept application of a range of analytical tools. You make some clear well-articulated evaluation for supply chain situation. .B = 60-69%Very good analysis of the scenario using a good range of analytical models. Some clear good evaluation has been made for how the supply chain situation has been operationalised.C = 50-59%Some analysis of the scenario has been made; this could have been more detailed. You consider how well they currently operate but there could have been more depth and understanding shown. You have made a good attempt at evaluating their supply chain however this needed more reflection and consideration.D = 40-49%There is a basic grasp of the scenario. But you dont really demonstrate enough understanding of how the organisation works or apply the model in detail to get a higher mark. Your supply chain evaluation is a bit too basic and needed more consideration.F = 30-39%There has been no real analysis of a scenario. In this section you should have considered one of the scenarios and explored it in more depth by applying a model(s) to the scenario (e.g. quality gap model; time/cost mapping; process mapping; etc.). You dont discuss how the supply chain situation has been operationalised.F- = 20-29%The scenario is considered a little but this section is almost entirely descriptive and not linked to the case context. The evaluation is weak and not aligned to the analysis. In this section you should considered one of the scenarios in more detail and analysed it using a relevant model e.g. quality gap model; time/cost mapping; process mapping; etc.F— = 10 -19%Weak description of the models completely out of context of the scenario. There is no evaluation of the scenario. In this section you should have considered a scenario in detail by applying model/s to e.g. quality gap model; time/cost mapping; process mapping; etc.F—- = 0-9%NO ANSWER PROVIDEDNo supply chain scenario presented or Part 1 was not attempted. A++ = 90-100%Exceptional recommendation/s for the chosen scenario. The aligned supply chain recommendation/s are extraordinarily original and well-considered with a range of analytical tools.A+ = 80-89%Outstanding recommendation/s for the chosen scenario. The supply chain recommendation/s provided are aligned with the analysis completely and are original.A = 70-79%Excellent recommendation/s for the chosen scenario. The supply chain recommendation/s provided are well explained using analytical tools. You make some clear well-articulated recommendation/s for supply chain and operations improvement/s.B = 60-69%Very good recommendation/s for the chosen scenario using analytical models. Some clear good recommendation/s have been made for how the supply chain could be improved.C = 50-59%Some recommendation/s for the chosen scenario have been made; this could have been more detailed. There could have been more depth and understanding of how the company can improve their supply chain which needed more reflection and consideration.D = 40-49%There is a basic recommendation/s for the chosen scenario. But you dont really demonstrate enough understanding of how the organisation could benefit from your recommendation/s. Your supply chain improvement/s are a bit too basic and needed more consideration.F = 30-39%There has been no real recommendation/s for the chosen scenario. You dont discuss how the organisation could improve their supply chain through their processes and operations.F- = 20-29%There is little recommendation/s but this section is almost entirely descriptive and not linked to the scenario context. You dont discuss how the supply chain situation could be improved.F— = 10 -19%Weak description of your recommendation/s; this section is completely out of context of the scenario. There are no ideas to improve the supply chain presented.F—- = 0-9%NO ANSWER PROVIDED.No recommendation/s made or Part 2 was not attempted. A++ = 90-100%An exceptional implementation plan. The steps to be taken to implement your supply chain idea are carefully identified in your report and included. You also explain how to handle and manage the risks associated with the supply chain improvement project.A+ = 80-89%A professional project plan has been included that identifies the major steps and a clear timescale for these. A great deal of thought has gone into this outstanding plan. Furthermore the major risks of this supply chain improvement project have been analysed well.A = 70-79%A thorough implementation plan has been presented in your report that considers carefully the activities that would need to take place to fully implement your supply chain improvement. You have also developed a risk management plan that identified major risks and how these may be managed.B = 60-69%A clear project plan has been provided that is well thought out and contains the main steps to implement your supply chain improvement. There is some discussion of the different risks however there needed to be a bit more careful consideration here.C = 50-59%Your supply chain improvement plan is clear although a little too generic. There is some good discussion the different risks that the company may face however this could have been more thorough.D = 40-49%A plan has been produced in this section and there is a risk assessment table. However this section was not well developed and needed to be more analytical in the identification of the main activities to improve the supply chain and the risks that may be involved.F = 30-39%The plan is not focused on operations supply chains or the scenarios and seems very abstract. There needed to be more links to supply chains and the risks needed more consideration.F- = 20-29%The plan is too basic to show the organisation how to implement a supply chain improvement. It really needed more thought and consideration of the steps involved and of the potential risks.F— = 10 -19%This is not really a plan but some attempt has been made to think about implementation. This should be developed into a focused project plan. There needed to be more effort made to analyse the potential risks also.F—- = 0-9%NO PLAN.You should include a plan that shows how your supply chain improvement could be implemented. You should identify each potential risk assess its likelihood and impact and suggest ways to mitigate the risk. A++ = 90-100%The report was exceptional in the way it was written and presented. The reflection shows exceptional insight into your management skills.A+ = 80-89%An outstandingly well-written and presented report. The presentation; expression; layout and use of diagrams was consistently outstanding.

It is well-written and makes good use of diagrams and figures. The reflection on supply chain management skills is deep and constructive.B = 60-69%Your report is well written and well-presented. In the main it has a clear structure and the layout and presentation is good. There is good evidence of reflecting on supply chain management skills.C = 50-59%Your report is clear and there has been some attempts to make it professional. There is some reflection on management skills but it could have been deeper and more critical.D = 40-49%The presentation of your report was average and there was not enough effort made to structure your report. There is the beginnings of reflection on your skills which needed much more thought.F = 30-39%Your report needed a lot more work to improve its presentation and structure. You needed to clearly indicate the sections. Reflection on your management skills was limited.F- = 20-29%Your report was weak in the way it was written and presented. You needed to put more thought and care into structuring your work and presenting it. There is little evidence of reflection on your management skills.F— = 10 -19%The assignment was difficult to follow as there was no structure to it and it was poorly written. There was inadequate reflection on supply chain skill sets.F—- = 0-9%NO ATTEMPTNo attempt was made to put the work together into a structure. It was difficult to make sense of the work as it was poorly written. There was no reflection on skill sets in the report.
