Principles Of Supply Chain Management

Competency

 

Describe the supply chain management principles through the flow of information, materials, services, and resources.

 

Scenario

 

You are a newly hired Analyst at Mitchell Consulting, a firm that specializes in providing managerial expertise in supply chain management. You are assigned as a support role to a senior consultant. Your role does not allow you to make selections for clients, but you will be evaluated for future promotion based upon your work in the analyst role. You are assigned to new a client, Johnson Motor Parts (aka Johnson). The Director of Quality has contacted Mitchell Consulting to assist in resolving a recent situation that began with a customer complaint. Your manager, Senior Analyst Andrea Sims, has directed you to work on this case and provide analysis and options to resolve the problems.

 

John Davis, the Director of Quality for Johnson, received a complaint from a major client regarding rusted parts. Those parts were used by a US car manufacturer in finished engines and the car manufacturer and the client want Johnson to pay to replace the rusted components. Not only is this a huge financial burden, but John Davis must find out how this happened in the first place, and how can it be prevented in the future? He has reached out to Mitchell Consulting to investigate the issue and provide recommendations for future quality control.

 

Your investigation reveals that the Director of Quality is angry and embarrassed about the quality issue, and insists that their trusted supplier, Beta Metals, has the best quality parts. You discover that while Johnson Motor Parts typically receives its parts from a trusted supplier, they can have a delay in shipments because of their quality checks. The Shop Floor Supervisor expresses frustration about the loss of money if there isn’t enough inventory. The Engineering team is forced to reach out to other suppliers with faster delivery timeframes, or risk running out of inventory. The parts from the trusted supplier are still delivered, so not only are they receiving these parts from six different suppliers, but they currently have enough inventory to supply current demand for the next six months.

 

Instructions

 

In an executive summary to John Davis, Director of Quality, provide your analysis and recommendations to resolve the current dilemma.

  • Explain your analysis and opinion of root causes in a brief executive level overview
  • Describe the relationships within the flow of parts in terms of supplier to finished product as it relates to Johnson Motor Parts.
  • Compare industry best practices and a brief contrast that is occurring at Johnson Motor Parts.
  • Recommend methods that could be employed to support supplier selection, inventory control, and supplier accountability.

The Scenario

Mudrock University has asked you to help them to design their student grades data mart. Your requirements elicitation with the clients has determined that they are interested in answering questions such as:

– Number of students in each unit in each year

– Number of students in each unit offering (i.e., ICT394 in Semester 1 2017, is a different unit offering to ICT394 in Semester 2 2017) by year.

– Grade distributions of students in units by year

– Grade distributions of students in units by offering and year

– Grade distributions by Lecturer by unit and offering

– Grade distributions by Course

– Grade distributions by School

There are a number of data sources from which you will need to draw your data. Below are the sources and the tables within them that are/may be of interest to you. These are discussed below (Primary Key, Foreign Key):

Source 1: Course Handbook 

The Course Handbook is a FileMaker Pro Database. It contains data regarding all courses, units and offerings of units that are offered by Mudrock University. A course is made up of units, and a unit will have at least one offering each year.:

COURSE (CourseCode, Version, CourseName, SchoolName)

UNIT (UnitCode, CourseCode, Version, UnitName)

UNIT_OFFERING (OfferingNumber, UnitCode, Year, TeachingPeriod)

OFFERING_COORDINATOR (StaffID, UnitOfferingNumber)

Source 2: Student Information System

The Student Information System has its data stored in a relational DBMS (Oracle) at present.

STUDENT (StudentID, StudentName, DateOfBirth)

ENROLMENT (EnrolNumber, StudentID, UnitOfferingNumber, Grade)

Source 3: Human Resources System

The HR System is a proprietary system that is owned by the HR Department.

STAFF_MEMBER(StaffNumber, StaffName, SchoolCode)

SCHOOL(SchoolCode, SchoolTitle)

What you have to do:

TASK 1 (30%): Discuss two (2) issues that may be problematic in the creation of the data warehouse that are apparent from the description above. For both, explain what you see as being the issue, why it is problematic, and what you will suggest needs to be done. This should take no more than two (2) pages in total.

TASK 2 (25%): Discuss what you see as being the most appropriate level of granularity for your data warehouse. Your discussion will need to explain why you have made this choice, and why the alternatives have been discarded. This should take not more than one (1) page.

TASK 3 (30%): Assuming that the issues you have raised in TASK 1 have been addressed to your satisfaction, design a Star Schema that will support the analyses as listed above.

TASK 4 (15%): Provide the SQL statements you would use to create the tables if you were to be implementing this design using Oracle. 

To Submit:

You will need to submit a single word-processed document that includes

– The written answers for Tasks 1 and 2

– The SQL statements for Task 4, and

– Screen shot of the design you have created for Task 3 (please do not submit your visio file, or whatever file you use, just a screen shot, copied and pasted into a word document please).

What if I have questions?

It is most likely that you will have questions about this assignment. There will be a Discussion Forum on Moodle. Please use this, firstly, to see if you query has already been answered and, then, if it hasn’t, to ask your question.

A final word…

This is an INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENT. While it is OK to discuss the assignment with other students, it is NOT OK to submit the same work. As final year students, the onus is on you to ensure that you do not overstep the mark as regards Academic Integrity.
