QSO 330 Module Six Assignment Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
Before you begin, review the KPI Scenario Chart linked in Supporting Materials below. Assume that you are the supply chain manager. The information in the chart portrays key performance indicators (KPIs) that you monitor to assess the efficiency of your network. Use the data in the KPI Scenario chart to answer the questions for each of the following scenarios:
Scenario 1
In this scenario, the warehouse is routinely past inventory capacity, and product age and overall cycle time are increasing. Your vehicle fleet is just past its prime; however, it is holding together well due to a robust and thorough preventive maintenance program. You barely meet your delivery schedules, and trucks often leave the warehouse late. Once at the warehouse, they wait excessively before being loaded and hitting the road again.
Scenario 1 Questions
What is the root cause behind the reduced number of on-time deliveries?
How can a warehouse management system (WMS) affect the delivery performance of a supply chain?
Scenario 2
In this scenario, the warehouse space appears constrained, but inventory moves through the warehouse effectively. Your vehicle fleet is new. However, the maintenance program is behind, which may be due to the newer vehicles not needing maintenance at this time. You barely meet your delivery schedules, and trucks often leave the warehouse late. Once at the warehouse, they are loaded on time, arrive on time, and depart on time.
Scenario 2 Questions
What is the root cause behind being late to depart and not delivering on time?
How can Total Preventative Maintenance help the fleet from causing issues with delivery?
Scenario 3
In this final scenario, your deliveries to retail stores have not been on time lately, and neither have the departures of loaded trucks from your distribution centers. Load times are well within standards. However, the trucks are just not getting on the road on time.
Additionally, while you have plenty of space in the warehouse, much of the inventory has been sitting there for longer than anticipated. It seems to be gathering dust on the shelves.
Your vehicle fleet is reaching the end of its economic life span, and routine preventive maintenance barely stays ahead of repairs.
Scenario 3 Questions
What do you believe are the root causes of late deliveries? How would you adjust operations to improve this situation?
How does the inventory situation in the warehouse contribute to the issue of late deliveries?
Directions
Create a narrated (audio) presentation addressing each of the above scenarios. Use these guidelines for your presentation. For help with PowerPoint narration or adding speaker notes, review the resources in the module Reading and Resources section.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
Create two content slides for each of the above scenarios (six slides in total).
Each slide should address one of the questions provided for the scenario. Each slide should have three to five short points plus one graphic.
In the notes section for each slide, answer the question in one complete paragraph of speaker notes.
Add voice-over narration to each slide.
The total narration for your presentation should be no more than 5 minutes in length.
What to Submit
Submit your presentation as a Microsoft PowerPoint formatted file (PPTX or PPSX). Your presentation should consist of 6 slides of narrated content plus the title and references slides. Include supporting research cited in APA format for all content slides.

It is a vendor evaluation assignment for internship program. We are given an excel table aand we have to analyze the data from that and create a power point presentation using tables and graphs and more methods

The way people encode or mentally program information helps to determine how their brains will store this information. In general, it is more likely that you will retain incoming data when you associate it with other things already in memory.
Do marketers make you buy things? Or do they help you recognize your desires and how their product may satisfy those perceived needs?

For this assignment, you will write a report using the COM10011 Assignment 3 Report template (DOCX 337 KB)Download COM10011 Assignment 3 Report template (DOCX 337 KB)
. Your report will contain the following sections:
Introduction (150 words)—introduce the report and refer to relevant literature.
Strong points and areas of expertise (300 words)—summarise your personal strengths using the PVA and VIA surveys from the pre-work.
Key elements of an impressive LinkedIn profile (350 words)—identify what makes a powerful and effective LinkedIn profile by discussing three strong profiles of business leaders.
My ‘Future self’ profile (200 words)—design a ‘Future self’ LinkedIn profile.
Development Action Plan (300 words)—decide what steps you need to take to fill in your skills gaps.
Reflection (500 words)—reflect on your experiences in this unit and your own professional development. 
References—list the references referred to in your report using APA 7 style.
The following information will guide you through the main steps in the report.
Step 1: What are your strengths and areas of expertise?
Using the findings from the pre-work and any supporting literature, describe your key strengths and areas of expertise. What did you learn about your core characteristics, emotional intelligence, listening skills, and personal values? This will form Section 2.0 in your report.
Step 2: Develop a ‘Future self’ LinkedIn profile
Identify three entrepreneurs or business leaders who you aspire to be like. You will paste copies of their LinkedIn profiles into the report as Appendix 1.
Reflect on the LinkedIn profiles you have collected. Identify three key elements to having a powerful and effective LinkedIn profile, and why you aspire to be like your chosen entrepreneurs or business leaders. You will use this reflection as part of Section 3.0 of your report.
Think about where you would like to be five years in the future. Start by identifying what experiences, skills and knowledge you would like your future self to have. Imagine what the LinkedIn profile of your future self would look like. Using some of the elements that you identified as making a strong LinkedIn profile, write a mock-up LinkedIn profile that inspires you. Be sure that your future self LinkedIn profile has:
captured the essence of Brand ‘You’ with the key strengths you have developed
a list of the professional experiences you have gained
organisations you have volunteered for
professional associations of which you are a member
notable achievements.
This profile will form Section 4.0 my future self in your report.
Step 3: A Development Action Plan (DAP)
Complete the Employability Skills Audit (Table 1 in Section 5.1 of your report). Take particular note of any areas you identify as needing further development in the final column of the report. This table will not form part of your final word count.
Use the Employability Skills Audit table (in particular where you answered ‘YES’ in the final column) to prepare a Development Action Plan (Table 2 in Section 5.2 of your report). You may like to revisit 11.4 Activity 1: Employability skills audit for help with this step.
The aim of your DAP is to help your future self become a reality. You need to identify the skills, knowledge and experiences you feel that you need to gain or develop over the next few years to have the future self profile of which you will be proud. Take a look at the following student exemplar at an HD standard: DAP Exemplar (DOC 38 KB)Download DAP Exemplar (DOC 38 KB)
.Your DAP will form part of your final word count.
Step 4: Reflect
Write a reflection on what you have learned in this unit (you may like to revisit Week 11: Reflection and reflective writing for help with this step) and everything you have learned about yourself from the previous sections of the report, including:
your personal strengths and areas of expertise (from Section 2.0)
what makes a good LinkedIn profile (from Section 3.0)
what skills and experiences do you want to gain over the coming years (from Section 4.0)
how this unit has assisted you to identify your personal strengths and inspire your personal and professional development (from Section 5.0).
Step 5: Finalise your report
Your final steps of this report will include any sections you have not yet completed, including the Introduction, References and Appendix 1 (inspiring LinkedIn profiles). Use the notes contained within the report template to guide you.
Supporting articles provided and other relevant articles drawn from your own personal research need to be cited within your submission and included in the reference section. These also need to be formatted using APA 7 style.

You are the new HR manager for this fictitious (private sector) company, which has
hundreds of employees and is clearly obligated under Title VII and other major
employment regulations. Rather than starting over from scratch with a brand new
application form, many HR managers would likely take a look at the existing form first.
Using the table located at the very bottom of this document, identify the ten (10) items
that are legally problematic* on this employment application form, why they are
problematic, and what could possibly be in their place, if applicable. Use of the table is
required.
When you are done “save” or “save as” this document with your last name, then first
initial and assignment name (e.g. SmithLApplForm.docx) and place your name in the
table box above. 
*By problematic we are looking for possible violations of various employment
regulations. Note that some may not be blatantly illegal, but, rather problematic and
best to avoid as a best practice.
One final tip: Do not focus on stylist elements such as the layout of the application
form or questions you do not “like.” Focus only on the legally problematic items.
