Coursework
Individual Coursework Project:
To analyse a supply chain management aspect or challenge through the
development of a case study of an organisation.
2
Coursework
Individual Coursework Project:
The first part of the report should analyse key characteristics of the selected aspect or challenge
with a general perspective, including benefits, barriers to implementation, sustainability
issues, and discussion of related risks. This section should have a maximum word count of
1000 words.
The second part of the report should include the development and analysis of one relevant case
study (based on the literature review or on your own industrial experience) that exemplify
the selected supply chain management aspect or challenge. This section should have a
maximum word count of 2000 words. Several good quality references should be used to
support your discussions of the case study.

Coursework
Therefore, the aim of this coursework is to analyse one of the supply chain
management aspects listed below:
•
Increased Globalisation and Competition,
•
Risk Management for Supply Chains,

food & beverages, textiles, medical equipment, metal products, plastic, products, etc.),
but also in the construction industry, infrastructure projects, petrochemical industry,
and in the healthcare sector.
Important: Select a case study relevant to your engineering discipline.

Developing Good Academic Practice
The library provides online resources to help you with referencing:
http://www.bradford.ac.uk/library/help/referencing/
The Library also has information about plagiarism, and how to avoid it:
http://www.bradford.ac.uk/library/help/plagiarism/
19
Referencing
•
The appropriate use of references is very important to ensure good quality
research for your coursework.
•
Do NOT use websites like Wikipedia, About.com, Wikihow, ehow.co.uk,
Investopedia or similar sites as references. These are not appropriate
academic references.
•
For example, Wikipedia is not a appropriate academic reference to be
used for your coursework or other project dissertation (e.g. FYP, MSc
project, etc.) as its content is not subjected to a strict quality assurance
process.
20
Referencing
Instead, use appropriate academic and professional resources such as:
Encyclopaedia Britannica offers almost 100,000 professionally edited and
researched articles. Britannica also contains thousands of full-text eBooks and
primary sources:
http://www.britannica.com/?cameFromBol=true
21
Referencing
Be very careful of the results obtained from your Internet search using
Google!
Verify that your sources of information (references) are of appropriate
academic quality.
Do not use as reference the report/coursework of other students
(undergraduate or postgraduate).
Do not attempt to obtain coursework samples from dodgy websites.
22
Referencing
•
Avoid copy/paste practices (for text).
•
Avoid excessive use of “quotations” without explaining or discussing the
relevance, meaning or findings of those quotations in your own words!
•
If you believe it is essential to include a quotation, indicate clearly the
quotation marks and the reference (Harvard style).
23
Referencing
Example:
“It is wrong to suppose that if you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it – a
costly myth” (Deming, 1994).
Deming, W.E. (1994); The New Economics for Industry, Government, Education;
Chapter 2: The Heavy Losses, 1st Ed., MIT, pp 35.
But still you will need to explain in your own words what this quotation means!
