Supply Chain Management Individual Project

Supply Chain Management Individual Project

Do you need some help completing this essay? Hire one of our professional writers

This individual project aims to discuss and analyse a supply chain problem with a solution (from one of the topics below) in a company.

I have chosen “L’Oréal “company to analyse a problem/issue faced in its supply chain and then discuss one of the below topics that apply to show challenges, solutions, and recommendations. SELECT ONLY ONE TOPIC.

 

  1. TOPIC 1: How does supply chain management contribute to performance dimensions (e.g., examples of agile supply chains contributing to performance dimensions during covid-19)? Performance dimensions are social, environmental, and economical (or you can use other Competitive Performance objectives/criteria like Cost Efficiency, Responsiveness and Agility, Reliability and On-Time Delivery, Product Quality, Innovation and Technology Adoption, Risk Management, etc.)
  2. TOPIC 2: How do analytics and data contribute to performance dimensions (e.g., customer analytics to understand customer preferences and acting according to enhance performance dimensions)
  3. TOPIC 3: How supply chain technologies contribute to performance dimensions (e.g., Internet of things and RFID for automated data collection and its effects on performance dimensions)
  4. TOPIC 4: How do network analytics contribute to the dimensions of performance (e.g., exploring supply chain actors’ networks and analyzing their contributions to performance dimensions (e.g., Internet of things and automated data collection and its effects on business performance)
  5. TOPIC 5: How do optimization and operational tools contribute to performance dimensions (e.g., optimizing supply chain flows to minimize supply chain costs)

*** Please you must relate to Covid 19 epidemic in any Topic you chose.

***As per Prof’s suggestion: I can choose a topic related to the e-commerce supply chain in L’Oreal (I didn’t know which topic is this!). You can choose this one or feel free to choose another one.
