UFMFRQ-15-M-Logistics and Supply Chain Management Coursework Brief

Assessment

There are two components to the assessment for this module:

Component A (presentation) - weighting 25% 

Group Presentation – 4 students per group (under controlled conditions): 

20-minute presentation, with 5 mins per student (plus 10-minute questions).

Assessment date: week commencing on 11 Dec 2023 (final date and time to be confirmed).  

Group presentation in which you reflect upon your learning of the Logistics & Supply Chain Management subject matter.  Presentations delivered online (or face-to-face – TBC) during timed slots in the presence of the Academic Staff only.  Detailed arrangements (e.g. time & (virtual) room) will be published nearer the time.

Your oral presentation

• • You will make a presentation to pitch your proposal to a panel of assessors.

  • Your group will have 20 minutes to make the presentation (you will ideally be presenting for about five minutes), followed by ten minutes for questions from the panel. You should coordinate with the other members of your group in order to stay in 20 mins (e.g., ideally each student should present for about 5 minutes). You and your “group mates” should be prepared to answer questions from the assessors.

  • Your group presentation needs to cover points one to four of the “Getting Started” list. Give your presentation a clear structure:  Introduction, discussion, concluding comments.  Do not put too much text on your presentation but stick to key themes. You must rehearse your presentation, to ensure you can comfortably deliver it in 20 minutes with pauses, to allow the audience to take in and think about the point(s) you are making.  Be sure there is a balanced allocation of content and time. Please, refer to the coursework brief and the appended marking criteria at the end of this document. 

Component B (coursework) - weighting 75%

The report should cover overall three themes, one per student:

• Operations management plan.

• Green strategic plan.
