The assignment will examine electrical retailing and students are expected to select a major retailer from this sector (for example typical UK electrical retailers are Currys, Argos etc.). The assignment will focus on retail logistics and supply chain management issues of the retailer of your choice and will address the following Intended Learning Outcomes:
• Reflect and evaluate the activities, functions and processes associated with managing the Retail Logistics operations

• Discuss and explain the strategic role of logistics operations for retail firms
• Demonstrate an understanding of the key trends that have an influence and impact on modern Retail Logistics operations
Students will analyse this retailer's supply chain operations and identify three key logistics and supply chain management challenges the retailer currently faces within its operations. These challenges will be identified following a systematic review of relevant reports, websites and other secondary source material. Subsequently, students will provide appropriate solutions for these challenges.
Therefore, students are asked to:
Task 1: Identify three key challenges the retailer faces. These challenges should be related to the retail logistics and supply chain management material covered in the module.
Task 2: Suggest possible solutions in order to tackle these three challenges. These solutions should be related to the retail logistics and supply chain management material covered in the module.
