Introduction: This assessment asks you to draw on your learnings from the unit covering all main topics, applying theoretical concept, and ultimately communicate these in the form of a report. The unit intended learning outcomes (ILO) that relate to this assessment task are:1.Demonstrate a critical understanding of operations and quality management and strategyboth in theory and in practice2.Demonstrate and define the key theoretical and practice issues, decisions and processesinvolved in managing manufacturing and service transformations3.Analyse and critically address complex issues in contemporary operations and qualitymanagement practice4.Apply theoretical knowledge to an applied research project using operations managementtheoryMain assignment: This assignment assesses your knowledge about operations management (OM)anditsimplementation. Choose a new product/servicetointroduceintothe market. It is important tomention that this is not a historical analysis of an existing product/company. Also, there should be alevel of innovation. The objectiveis to develop a comprehensive OM managementplancoveringthefollowing topics in the context of your new product/service: 1.Define the operational performance objectives your firm wants to compete with: There mustbe consistency between your operationalperformance objectives and your OM plan. Also,how do you plan to measure them?

Proposea process layout including important indicators such as cycle time and number of stages (show briefly how the indicatorswere obtained). Draw your layout.4.Capacity and planning: How will you measure capacity, andwhat capacity strategy is more appropriate and why?5.Inventory management: What inventory management strategy is more appropriate and why?6.Quality management: What is your quality management strategy? 7.Supply chain management (SCM): What is an appropriate SCM strategy and why? 8.Sustainable operations: What operational strategy can you implement that contributes directlyto sustainable outcomes and how would you measure it?Explain each of the topicsaboveanddescribehowthese canbe implemented for your product/service. For this, aliterature review is required, including academicmaterialto provide justificationto why each topicis relevant for your product.

Specifically,Assignment 3 is acomplex OM projectthat requires the integration of all topics, and this presentation will show how all topics areunderstood and integrated in the context of anew product/service. Furthermore, this presentation willprovide timely feedback for students to be incorporated inAssignment 3. It is important to mention that this isnarrated,filmed, and time-limited presentation. The following are aspects required in your presentation:•A brief explanation and justification ofyour new product/service.
