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.
