and how they apply in real life situations.
DUE DATE:
Due date last week of classes
SUBMISSION:
You will deliver a soft copy, as well as a hard copy of the project.
The Project:
Your project is as follows. Choose a company from the list below (short list) OR any company you want
(prefe
ed, approved by the teacher). From there, you will pick a product OR service they render and
write about it.
FOR EXAMPLE, if you choose AMAZON, you can write about their “delivery” process, starting with their
website, to the customer ordering, to payment, to the order going to the warehouse, to shipping, to
eceiving it at your doorstep. You will need to write in details about the steps and processes, in order to
give a clear idea of work.
OR, you can choose a PRODUCTION PROCESS; for example, how the Fe
ari Enzo is produced, from
design, to marketing, to on-floor production.
OR, you can pick something like Dubai Airport, from booking a ticket all the way to leaving the airport at
your city destination.
OR, you can go for something simple, like the “hiring process for FACULTY” or “Registration-to-
graduation for students” at PMU.
The conclusion is, it can be ANY operations process. My RECOMMENDATION is that you pick something
you are interested in OR has something to do with your major. Anything you think you can do well in.
RULES 2:
1. Individual work accepted, but groups recommended;
2. Groups can be 2, 3 or 4 MAX; I like 3 in this case…
3. All group members MUST do work; I will not listen to groups complaining the last day of
members NOT doing work: show leadership and management skills and “force” members to do
their share;
4. You MUST inform me early on who you’re grouping with. You CANNOT come last week and tell
me I can’t find a group!
5. You must give me a
ief of what you intend to do, and who’s-doing-what, by next TUESDAY
(30th);
6. You can use ANY reference you want; I LIKE YouTube references: watch a video, and give a
ief
of what you saw. Very easy, and very effective. You can watch 5-30 minute videos, for example,
and fill 5-10 pages. So, be imaginative.
7. Do not, under any circumstance, deliver a forgery. I will give a LOW grade. I can SMELL a
forgery a mile away. Present your work, and think fair.
8. If you have questions, contact me.
