Global Engineering Strategy Assignment

This individual assignment requires research. Based on a company's manufacturing site of your choice (as per accompanying instructions) you are required to design a manufacturing strategy for it.

Required layout- Manufacturing Strategy Document (an executive summary), followed by the body of the assignment text based on the Terry Hill Model.  The report structure should be exactly as below and follow the format of the marking scheme.  There will be a 10% penalty if this is not done.

Manufacturing Strategy Document -  To be a 1 - 2 page statement of the final manufacturing strategy proposed for the SBU I division (summarized from The Assignment Text below), and to include decisions, as appropriate, relating to the following issues (a list which can be extended):

Process choice

  • Choice of process
  • Role of inventory
  • Make or buy
  • Capacity (size, timing, location)

Infrastructure

  • Function support
  • Manufacturing planning and control systems
  • Quality assurance and control
  • Manufacturing systems engineering
  • Clerical procedures
  • Salary I wage agreements
  • Work structuring
  • Organization structure

The assignment text - This is the body of the report, and should include:

Development/completion of SBU I Division objectives and strategies which support corporate level objectives and strategies.

This will require the application of appropriate theory, including strategic concepts. (It is expected that this will represent approximately 15-25% of the assignment text)

Based on the above, design of the manufacturing strategy, to include:

  • Discussion of options for each element
  • Reasons as to why particular options have been selected to the exclusion of others (Evidence of application of appropriate theory in i) and ii) is required)

Compare your proposed manufacturing strategy with the deduced existing strategy.

Address implementation/communication issues.

Propose relevant strategy evaluation measures.

Recognition of and methods of ensuring that, the strategy remains current within a changing environment.

It is important to demonstrate the application of theory, the development of options, and justified selections. You are required to develop/complete the SBU I division objectives and strategies, and then to design (not report on) its manufacturing strategy. You will get no marks for just restating the actual or presumed current strategy. You are to reserve a company for your research by posting it on the “Coursework 2 reserve your company here’ forum on the Module web. Please ensure the company site chosen is not already reserved by another student (read the forum) nor listed below on the restricted companies list. If you do not do this, or ignore this instruction, you will get zero marks.
