Operations Management Assignment

Operations Management covers many process improvement methods. In this project, you’ll have the opportunity to harness the valuable techniques and strategies you’ve acquired throughout this class to bring about tangible enhancements to a process that you encounter in your everyday work or personal life.

Select a process that you see or engage in on a regular basis in your work or personal life. Analyze and suggest improvements to that processing based on the information presented in this course.

Present your analysis and suggestions for improvement in a comprehensive written report, spanning 7-10 pages. The report’s structure includes a cover page, which won’t count toward the total page count, ensuring your content remains focused and concise. Use single spacing, 1-inch margins, and either Calibri or Times New Roman in 11 or 12-point size. Feel free to submit your report in either PDF or .docx format for convenience.

Include the following in your report:

• Executive Summary: Do not exceed 500 words and merits a dedicated page. Here, you’ll provide a succinct overview of your project’s objectives and outcomes, setting the stage for what follows.
• Application: The application of knowledge is insightful, creative, and highly relevant to the chosen process. The analysis showcases a mastery of operations management principles and their practical application
• Discussion: Delve into the methods you’ve learned and their application to real-world scenarios. Engage in thoughtful discussions, sharing your insights and observations as you dissect the process under review.
• Conclusion: Draw meaningful conclusions that highlight the impact of your improvements.
