The analysis is based on the specific company supply chain stage presented during the first summative assessment or the same supply chain stage of another company in the same industry sector used in summative 1; individual research plus the utilisation of approaches to supply chain analysis covered so far in the module assessment.

You should write an analysis from the perspective of the performance of the specific supply chain stage of the organisations supply chain you presented in Summative 1 or the same supply chain stage of another company in the same industry sector used in summative 1. You will reflect on both the perceived internal performance and the externally perceived performance of the organisation's supply chain stage over a particular period of time

Measures and methods utilised by the organisation you might consider analysing could be associated with Quality (delivered performance), Time (speed), Flexibility (agility) and Cost (inventories). Therefore parameters that might be considered could include supply chain performance measures parameters previously described within the module or independently researched. N.B Sustainability related measures cannot be included within this analysis.

An indicative structure for the performance analysis might be:

i. Introduction: circa 300 words

The organisation, supply chain stage and time period that was analysed

ii. How is the performance of this segment of the organisation's supply chain perceived by internal and external stakeholders?

Draw on secondary or primary evidence from internal and external stakeholders with regards to the performance of the supply chain stage under study. Reference available measures for a particular time period, such as those suggested above or alternatives you have researched. Cite sources using the University's author/date protocol. Circa 500 words

iii. Performance Measures

The internal and external performance measures you have utilised in your analysis, their strengths and weaknesses and the insights they can provide. They can be drawn from those presented in the module or individually researched. N.B Sustainability related measures cannot be included within this analysis.
