Operations Management (Apple Inc. Technology company)

Instruction
The goal of the project is to apply modern operations management research to an
organization (Apple Inc. Technology company) in the industry. Analyze its Supply Chain strategy. You will then propose improvements using advanced
OM techniques found in the literature. The organization could be from the service or
manufacturing industry, and either public or private. The processes involved in the key decision.

Introduction
– Description of the organization, its mission and strategy.

Topic Statement
– Describe the context of the research, the research problem, and its importance

calculations, simulation results.
– Use process-modeling techniques such as flow charts to describe the main process
to describe one supply chain process. Limit the description of the process to 5-10
sub-processes or steps. Each step should describe the technology used, which type
of worker executes the step and what is the action done in the step.
Discussion
– This section is very important as it reveals your advanced knowledge and critical
thinking skills. You will essentially analyze the results of your study. You will
show a clear understanding of the nature and significance of your findings.
– Discussions should be supported by theory in operations management

Recommendation
– Make a recommendation on improving ONE part of the process
– Justify your recommendation quantitatively or qualitatively if appropriate. You
must support your recommendations bases on theories, models and applications
seen in the course.
– You should include a new process diagram that includes the changes proposed.
