Using the tools and techniques explored during the first 4 weeks of this module, you will analyse the strategy and design aspects of an organisation of your choice. You should focus on one of the organisation's products or services supply chain. The data should be mainly collected from secondary sources of information, although primary sources could be used whenever possible. You should clearly demonstrate how the positioning of the organisation influences and shapes the configuration of its operations and supply chain. Specifically, you should address the following: 1 - How the operations and supply chain are influenced by the dimensions of volume. variety, variation in demand and visibility 2 - How the performance objectives are reflected in the organisations' decisions regarding the supply chain relationships and design? 3 - What are the supply chain challenges that the organisation is facing? 4 - What supply chain related areas should the organisation's management focus in the short, medium and long term to improve their competitive advantage?
