Assessment Brief/ Task
The detailed requirements for this task are as follows:
This assignment requires you to develop an individual case study dealing with aspects of operations management based upon your own personal experience.
You need to apply key concepts of operations management to your experience and discuss the associated implications. In so doing you will need to draw on operations, systems and project management concepts.
You can choose any relevant organisation that you have sufficient first-hand knowledge of and one that lends itself to being discussed in this way. (This may be a family business, an organisation you have worked at or a college or university you have studied/are studying at).
You MUST following case study format and contain the following sections:
•    Executive Summary: you should summarise your entire case study briefly (no more than one page).
•    Case study organisation: you should give the name of the featured organisation and the reasons for you choosing it (e.g. “ the author of this case study worked (or studied) at this organisation between 2010 and 2012 in the sales department”)
•    Introduction: you should provide some background information on the chosen case study organisation and the aspects of operations management that are relevant
