Assignment Briefing Guide (individual)

You are required to research and write a Report of 2400 words with the main focus of design and layout of operations and managing their capacity

Your Report should:

• Analyse the process type and layout design of an operation within its supply chain e.g City College Plymouth Refectory, City College Plymouth Library, Supermarket or Retail Store
• Critically evaluate as to the impact of the choice of layout upon the strategic objectives of the organisation
• Demonstrate understanding of how capacity is managed within your chosen operation through short and medium term plans

Please note:

• The weighting of this Report is 60% of the marks for the overall module
• All assignments must be typed, use the required report structure, and  be of original content (your own words)
• Use Arial font 12 and 1.5 line spacing
• Word count:  2400 words (+/- 10%)

For Year 2 students you will be penalised for exceeding this limit e.g. for a word count of 3000 words you should not exceed 2640 words, or fewer than 2160 words.  Any work beyond the word limit will not be marked

• Word count must be declared at the end of the report
• All students should use Cite Them Rite as the definitive source for guidance
• Assignment with no referencing (using Harvard Referencing) will be awarded a maximum of 39%
• You will be penalised for poor referencing and failure to give valid sources

Plagiarism is a serious matter.  Please make sure that you are aware of the College’s regulations on academic dishonesty.  In your presentation and briefing guide, please make absolutely sure that you have clearly attributed any quotations or ideas from elsewhere.
