Week 9 – Production and Supply Chain Management Systems in an Integrated System
This week “Team White” will be responsible for covering the first half of the module, Monk and Wagner chapter 4, from the start of chapter 4 through the section titled “Sales and Operations Planning”; “Team Cherry” will be responsible for covering the second half of the module, Monk and Wagner Chapter 4, starting with the section titled “Demand Management” through the end of the chapter . After completing your required reading, please go through the assigned material from this module in detail with your prep partner and come to class on Tuesday prepared to teach this materail to a pair of members from the other team.
Every team member will be required to create and/or comment on four blog entries from this site as you prepare for class each week. At least two of these will need to be “substantive” entries which do two things. First, a “substantive” entry is a blog entry which briefly summarizes your understanding of a particular part of the material along with your thoughts on the material. Second, a “substantive” entry also includes a well throughout multiple choice question which you may actually see on an upcoming exam which can be answered fairly easily if you have a good understanding of the material which you just summarized. The remaining blog entries need to be entries where you are following up on and providing feedback on “substantive” entries posted by other students in the class.
