Supply chain management
You are required to develop a comprehensive supply chain management plan. The completed project is due in Module 8. There are, however, two required milestones and a single voluntary milestone. The required milestones occur in Modules 1 and 3. The voluntary milestone is submission of a draft report in Module 7 for review by the Instructor. This review will be cursory in nature with the objective of providing feedback to improve the final report.

The plan counts for 20% of your final course grade and will be graded on a 100-point scale consisting of the following:

Quality and depth of content (50 points)
Organization of the report (15 points)
Overall format, i.e., typed, use of page numbers, title page, table of contents, appropriate labels on figures and tables, etc. (15 points)
Correct grammar and evidence of proofing, i.e., no spelling errors (10 points)
Variety and documentation of references used. Format for citations and references must follow APA guidelines. (10 points)
Note: All final reports will be submitted to Turnitin, a plagiarism detection service, to check for originality.
