CREATING SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT INSTRUCTIONAL PLANS AND ASSESSMENTS

Part 2 After you have taught your MBA students, you must determine if they have absorbed the material sufficiently to demonstrate your stated learning objectives. Create a written assessment that is not an instrument such as a quiz or test, such as an essay, case-study analysis, small focused research project, or a combination of strategies. The assessment submission should be required to be 3–6 double-spaced content pages in length, plus title and reference pages. You should also set a minimum number of sources for your students to support their work. For a 3–6 page submission, 6–12 is often appropriate, depending on the type of assessment you are designing. You will also need to complete a rubric to measure the extent to which students demonstrated mastery of the material. The department chair has specified that your assessment must evaluate student achievement on at least one of two course learning objectives: Recommend a framework for supply chain management. Analyze contemporary trends and issues in effective supply chain management. Keep these learning objectives in mind as you are creating your assessment.

Additional important considerations are:

  • Does your assessment help your students demonstrate your stated learning objectives?
  • Can your assessment be completed with what you have taught your MBA students and additional research they can reasonably complete using the university library or credible Internet resources?
  • Can your assessment be accurately measured with the rubric you created?
  • Is your rubric constructed in such a way that you can easily provide clear, useful feedback to your students?

For this portion of the assignment, submit: Complete instructions for an assessment for students to prepare, including required content and expectations of formatting and rigor. A completed grading rubric, including three performance levels describing what is considered excellent, proficient, and basic quality work for each criterion. Your assignment will be considered successful to the extent that it: Includes a measurable assessment that aligns with the content, learning objectives, and expectations for adult students in a supply chain management lesson plan. Provides an appropriate and aligned rubric that facilitates the evaluation and communication of achievement of adult learners regarding specific learning objectives related to supply chain management.

Additional Requirements As you complete your assignment, be sure your submission meets the following guidelines: Written communication: Use error-free, doctoral-level writing, with original (non-plagiarized) content, logical phrasing, and accurate word choices. APA formatting: Format all references and citations according to current APA style and formatting guidelines. Refer to the Academic Writer as needed. Font and font size: Use appropriate professional typography for Part 1: headings set at 24–36 points and bulleted list items at 16–18 points as a guideline. Use a consistent, APA-compliant font, 12 points for Part 2. Length: Part 1, PowerPoint deck, 10–15 slides with detailed notes sections. Part 2, as needed to accommodate the assessment, roughly 3–6 double-spaced pages. Scholarship: Utilize the five resources you analyzed in your Week 4 assignment plus three scholarly or practitioner sources to support your points.

 Overview

Tabulating equipment became an important part of life in the United States with the census in the late 1800s. Punch card equipment and systems evolved from those applications. By the 1950s, computers replaced hand-wired plug-board logic in these systems making them much more flexible and useful.

Business information systems allowed business to keep track of large inventories of numerous items, fueling an explosion in what could be built and provided so many choices to consumers. Collaboration between firms used to be facilitated by physically shipping numerous trays of punched cards, and untold numbers of reels of magnetic tape. The development of digital networking did not take place overnight and even when firms used electronic means to send data via modems and other tools, it was common to send bulk data via tape.

As data rates and reliability of computer network grew, so did business dependency on them. Firms could focus on areas of unique competency and more easily partner with others due to their ability to coordinate and collaborate via data. Business-to-Business (B2B) networking and collaboration started long before Business-to-Consumer (B2C) was possible, primarily because most consumers did not have the equipment or the expertise to use it. As personal computers grew in power and fell in price, methods of selling that had been limited to B2B networking came to consumers. Auctions and portals are becoming more common for consumers and the growing popularity of social networks could very well lead to remarkable transformations in customer relationship management and collaboration. The future for eBusiness is bright and it is clear there is room for innovation to help us move smartly into a better future.
