This individual assignment requires research. Based on a company’s manufacturing site of your choice (as per accompanying instructions) you are required to design a manufacturing strategy for it.

Required layout- Manufacturing Strategy Document (an executive summary), followed by the body of the assignment text based on the Terry Hill Model.  The report structure should be exactly as below and follow the format of the marking scheme.  There will be a 10% penalty if this is not done.

  • Manufacturing Strategy Document – To be a 1 – 2 page statement of the final manufacturing strategy proposed for the SBU I division (summarized from The Assignment Text below), and to include decisions, as appropriate, relating to the following issues (a list which can be extended):                                                                            5%

 

  1. Process choice
    1. Choice of process
    2. Role of inventory
  • Make or buy
  1. Capacity (size, timing, location)

  • The assignment text– This is the body of the report, and should include:

(It is expected that this will represent approximately 15-25% of the assignment text)                 20%
  2. Based on the above, design of the manufacturing strategy, to include:         53%
    1. Discussion of options for each element
    2. Reasons as to why particular options have been selected to the exclusion of others

(Evidence of application of appropriate theory in i) and ii) is required)

  1. Compare your proposed manufacturing strategy with the deduced existing strategy 5%
  2. Address implementation I communication issues                 7%
  3. Propose relevant strategy evaluation measures                 5%
  4. Recognition of, and methods of ensuring that, the strategy remains current within a changing environment                                                                 5%

 

Notes:

  1. It is important to demonstrate the application of theory, the development of options, and justified selections
  2. You are required to develop/complete the SBU I division objectives and strategies, and then to design (not report on) its manufacturing strategy.

You will get no marks for just restating the actual or presumed current strategy.

And for your guidance:

1 Manufacturing Strategy Document  [5]

Summary statement of the designed manufacturing strategy for the chosen company. The strategy should summarise the detail of the decisions associated with the 12 elements identified in the question.

2 Company/market/business background [5]

Demonstrate appropriate research on the chosen company, its competitors, its products, its markets, its customers, and its sector trends.

3 Development and completion of justified and appropriate company objectives and strategies. [15]

Development and completion of justified and appropriate company objectives and strategies. As a result of your research, you will be able to identify some company objectives.  You will need to complete this listing to provide a minimum of 2 financial and 2 strategic company objectives.  You will do this by applying appropriate theory from the “Introduction to Strategy” and “Corporate and Company Objectives and Strategies” sections in the notes (plus additional reading/research) to your company’s situation (i.e., its external and internal environment) You should demonstrate the thinking process and the application of theory that lead YOU towards stating these company objectives.  Develop and justify and finally clearly state those objectives.

Ensure that you demonstrate the application of theory, including strategic concepts.

4 Design of manufacturing strategy elements (including assessment of options and justified selections)  [53]

T.Hill’s model describes specific strategy elements you should consider in your manufacturing strategy development process. Identify and discuss options, for EACH of the manufacturing strategy elements, and justify the selection for each element (from the options you have identified).

In addition to demonstrating your understanding of the logic associated with the Terry Hill model, demonstrate which additional supplementary theories of manufacturing you have applied in your analysis that lead you to your justified selection of your manufacturing strategy elements.

5 Depth and breadth of relevant comments in comparing the proposed manufacturing strategy with the deduced existing manufacturing strategy [5]

Clearly compare YOUR proposed manufacturing strategy with the deduced existing manufacturing strategy (preferably table). What is the major difference and why?

6  Identification of relevant recommendations for the implementation of the proposed manufacturing strategy [4]

Identify the key issues in the implementation of your manufacturing strategy, and draft an outline implementation plan.

7 Identification of relevant recommendations associated with communication issues. [3]

Good strategy is one that all stakeholders in your organisation follow. Present how you would communicate your strategy to the company and affected stakeholders to best ensure successful implementation.

8 Appropriateness of proposed strategy evaluation measures [5]

Just as for SMART objectives, your strategy must have measurable elements. Demonstrate how you are going to monitor the appropriateness, and the degree of successful implementation of your strategy.

9 Demonstrate the need for the currency of the strategy, and of methods that will help ensure this. [5]

Why is this necessary, and how you will ensure that your strategy maintains its currency in future years.

Insta Research is a very helpful place to buy a resume in the first place. I gave them my details and did not expect that they would come up with such an exclusive design. My personality is professionally enhanced through the resume made by them. I am thankful for the depth of my heart as I would have never approached that level of excellence in my resume. Wish you good luck ahead and again thank you!
