AMRI700 Resource Integration Management
Department of Enterprise and Digital Innovation, Bachelor of Applied Management - Ara Institute of Canterbury, New Zealand
Learning Outcomes: On successful completion of this assessment, the students will be able to:
1. Analyse techniques and strategies for the management of resources in operations.
2. Evaluate the application of the principle of engineering economics in supply chain operations.
3. Critically evaluate procurement and production processes as they relate to resource utilisation.
4. Analyse strategic concepts in the management of operations that guide or affect logistics and sustainability.
5. Apply principles of ergonomics to design operational facilities.
Purpose - AMRI700 aims to teach students methods for identifying and solving resource integration problems prevalent in industry. In order to bring various approaches covered in the class to practical use, students are required to work on a group project to identify, apply and evaluate resource integration concepts to a real world problem.
Group Project Report -
Submit a detailed research group project report from any one of the available industries and their respective organisations as presented in Table 1 (attached). This report should be a description of the fundamental concepts learned in the class surrounding the topic of interest. In this work, conduct a literature research around your chosen industry, organisation and the problem you have selected. Document the research findings (including references), conduct an in-depth analysis of the solution and provide recommendations. Data can be collected from internet or can be generated on your own, however, it must be reasonable. In either case appropriate reference or justification/rationale must be provided for acquiring data.
Required -
In group project (assessment three) students are required to accomplish the following tasks in the below given order. Project tasks are divided into group (G) and individual (I) categories. Please refer to the group project report template available on the course Moodle site. The project report must be according to the prescribed template, should be printed on one side only and stapled in the top left corner and should contain the following elements in order:
1. Research question (1 page)
Please provide a succinct background to the problem you have considered in the organisation of your choice. Based on this, frame appropriate RQ on a new line. The RQ should further be split into sub-questions corresponding to each group member.
2. Executive summary (1 page)
Provide a summary of the report and it should include: purpose and background of the problem. Main findings, conclusions and recommendations from the contributions of all the group members should be properly integrated and presented.
3. Introduction (2 pages)
Introduce the topic of discussion, elaborate the problem and define its scope clearly in the industrial and organisational context.
4. Economic Alternatives (1 page)
In light of the principles of engineering economy, evaluate three (3) mutually exclusive economic alternatives that should be considered in the scope of the study.
5. Application of resource integration technique (2 pages per member,)
One technique, covered in the course, should appropriately be used in regards to the selected problem. Provide justification for choosing the technique. Data used should be supported by appropriate references or suitable rational. Show complete workings along with software output, if any.
6. Analysis of results, critique and recommendations (2 pages per member)
Results should be thoroughly analysed and their appropriate interpretation should be presented based on the report findings. Discuss the constraints or limitations of the results. Recommendations must be based on the results obtained.
7. Reflection on other techniques (1 page)
Reflect on the resource integration techniques not covered by the group members towards their individual contribution in the report. In the context of the study, explicitly identify and discuss areas where these techniques can be applied appropriately.
8. Ergonomic Considerations (2 pages)
In the scope of the study, apply all the principles of ergonomics as appropriate and evaluate their impact.
9. Conclusion (1 page)
Conclusion should cover all the elements covered in the report. It should integrate the problem with the results obtained based on the individual contributions of the group members.
Note:
1. All the above mentioned elements must begin from a new page except the research question and the executive summary which can be placed on the same page in the above stated order.
2. Strictly follow the prescribed page limit for each section of the report. Failure to do so may result in a penalty.
3. The case study report should be professionally edited using the prescribed guidelines.
4. Present appropriate content in the report and do not use vague references.
