Operations/Supply Chain Management Plan for XYZ Company: Enhancing Customer Experience and Sustainability in the Manufacturing Industry
You are to build an Operations/Supply Chain Management Plan for the company you used in Assignment 2. The company was an actual business either a product or a service with sales between $500,000 to and $10 million. The purpose of the Signature Assignment is to have students show the entire supply chain (in graphics as well as an 8 – 10-page paper) of how materials are sourced, developed, built, packaged, stored, packaged, transported and stored and to develop the customer experience feedback loop. You are to include sustainability issues as well as cost of goods sold (COGS). This paper is not just to report on an existing company (although you must do that). Additionally you are to identify a problem that this company is experiencing or an opportunity that the company might consider. This problem or opportunity may be included in a Recommendations section for this paper, but the recommendations section of the paper is not to be more than one page of the eight to ten pages of the paper). Part of this assignment will be a visual display of the supply chain for your chosen organization. See the PowerPoint in Week 8 documents for lots of options for what a supply chain can look like. You are not to choose one of the visual displays on the PowerPoint, but to research and analyze your chosen company and build a supply chain (based upon your research) of what the company you have chosen supply chain looks like. The visual display should in some ways connect with the eight to ten page paper and you may refer to the visual display in the paper.

Intuition vs. Analysis: Exploring Executive Decision-Making through Dual-Process Theory and the Example of Steve Jobs at Apple “Assessing the Quality and Effectiveness of Doctoral-Level Lecture Content: A Comprehensive Evaluation”
Please Note I NEED THIS WORK COMPLETED IN 8 HOURS
Lecture PowerPoint Presentation
Topic: Intuition vs. Analysis in Executive Decision-Making
Suggested Theory: Dual-Process Theory (James)
Representative Example: Steve Jobs’ intuition in product development at Apple.
You will be assigned a topic by your instructor at the start of the class on Friday. Your assignment is to create a scholarly mini-lecture on the topic using current and relevant research and theory. Your lecture will be supported by a set of 10 slides (10 minute presentation – one minute per slide) on your assigned topic. You will need to cite two scholarly sources per slide. Your lecture should be designed to prepare a student to answer an exam question on the topic, by providing them with critical information, sources, and information about the topic. You will also have an eleventh slide with a potential, application/scenario-based exam question that must be answered using an essay response.
As a separate assignment, you will write a handout to go with the lecture that will accompany your lecture for your students. Please see the “lecture handout” assignment instructions and submission area.
The slides should cover the following information:
Slide 1 should cover your topic and the agenda for the presentation. (The Agenda should outline your topic coverage with at least 8 items). Support your topic with two relevant references (with in 2 years) to show the topic is important to the field.
Slides 2 through 9 should cover the 8 items (one per slide). Each slide needs at least two references to support its content.
Slide 10 should summarize the topic’s content and describe a potential research project, including method, design, and participants. At least two references to support your method and design should be included.
Slide 11 will include one potential exam question that can be answered in a five-paragraph essay that is answerable based on information you provide in your lecture (and your accompanying handout).
You will present your lecture to your team members and receive feedback. Your team will select one of the group members’ lectures to present on Sunday to the class (and you will inform your instructor whose lecture was selected).
Please see the attached “example” for organizing the slides. All of the course readings are also provided here to assist.
Cite the sources “in-text” on the slides, and then include each of those references in your accompanying handout, with full reference information. You do not have to include a “references” slide but your handout MUST include each in-text reference from your slides.
You can modify your topic to an industry, organization, or niche-based participant set of your choice.

Handout Instruction
Please download the instructions handout for writing your lecture handout to accompany your slide deck.
You can use sources from the course readings. You should also supplant those sources with additional content from your researched articles and sources to align with your topic.
Submit your assignment according to the requirements of your residency instructor’s schedule.
Your grade will be based on your lecture’s alignment with these principles (which are reflected in the rubric):
Content: Does your lecture content provide doctoral-level, clear, and accurate information with current, relevant, and helpful sources that align well with your lecture PowerPoint and the presentation you make to your cohort members?
Clarity: How clear and easily read is your handout? Are statistics precise? Do you give details about research practices and findings? Have you attributed new information about a theory or topic to the source who found it through their research? Can someone take your PowerPoint and handout and understand the topic through a new lens?
Integration of Knowledge: Did you cite at least 20 sources of information (i.e., two for each of your slides) and incorporate the information from those sources into your lecture handout, providing your reader with details about those articles, the research they described, and their findings? Are your citations relevant, current, and accurate? (Fake citations will take this score to zero).
Presentation/Grammar/Style: APA style guide requires that writers and presenters use logical, clear, and specific formatting and styles to convey clear, unbiased, relevant, and accurate information to readers and listeners. Using APA-level headings, a thesis statement, topic sentences for paragraphs, transition sentences and paragraphs, appropriate citation style (in-text and reference list), and solid grammar and spelling. The use of the Merriam-Webster dictionary for all questions about hyphenation, proper nouns, and spelling is part of APA.
Compliance with Assignment Requirements: Your lecture handout should be between 8 and 12 pages, double-spaced, and include 20 citations, with at least 12 references within the last 5 years. A title page and reference page does not count in the page count. -
