Question 1:
Read the APPLICATION CASE on Introducing: PDQ Pizza Delivery. The background of the case study is on pages xxxix through xlii in the text
Introduction. It is also reproduced below (see page 38 of this Study Guide). This is the application case that will be used throughout the course for all case study assignments. Updates/new activities will be presented in each Unit
Write a 3 to 5 page paper (1000 to 1500 words) in APA format. in Below is a recommended outline.
1. Cover page (See APA Sample paper)
2. Introduction
a. A thesis statement
b. Purpose of paper
c. Overview of paper
3. Body (Cite sources with in-text citations.)
a. Provide detailed explanations for your diagram and answers
i. What are the requirements for each subsystem proposed for PDQ?
ii. Referring to the PDQ case study, what PMLC model would you use for each of the six subsystems (Order Entry, Order Submit, Logistics, Routing, Inventory Management, and Pizza Factory Locator)? Defend your choices.
iii. The PDQ System consists of the following six subsystems:
1. Pizza Factory Locator
2. Order Entry
3. Logistics
4. Order Submit
5. Routing
6. Inventory Management
iv. Pick one of these subsystems and build as complete a WBS as you can. You may have to make assumptions in order to complete this exercise. If so, state them clearly.
v. Choose the best type of contract for PDQ.
1. Compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages of each and choose the one you will use.
2. What type of payment schedule will you use? Should there be any incentives?
b. Support your discussion with any necessary sources. Be sure to include in-text citations in all cases.
4. Conclusion - Summary of main points
a. Lessons Learned and Recommendations
5. References - List the references you cited in the text of your paper according to APA format.

a. Provide detailed explanations for the questions below:
i. What are the quality metrics you will use for PDQ?
1. What values will you set as trigger values? Give examples.
2. Describe how you would react to the trigger values. What corrective measures will you take?
ii. Are there any projects in the case study that would benefit from any of the PMLC models studied in this chapter? (Remember the six subsystems defined for the case are Order Entry, Order Submit, Logistics, Routing, Inventory Management, and Pizza Factory Locator). Defend your decisions.
b. Support your discussion with any necessary sources. Be sure to include in-text citations in all cases.
