Individual Assignment
This assignment is an introduction to college-level essay writing. Create an essay in APA format. Check the examples in the library writing resources and brush up on writing skills. Develop an essay of two to four pages, excluding title and reference page. Create an introduction using APA section title, repeating the title page byline. Then, use 1st and 2nd level section titles to create topics from the reading. Within each section title (topic) develop essay points by combining information from two or more library articles. Select topics from the course readings. Introduce the topic by paraphrasing information from the class reading. Then, search the library for articles on the topics selected from the class reading. Paraphrasing information from resources (class material and library articles) is a good way to demonstrate understanding of course objectives. Remember to match the title page format, section titles, citations, and references in APA format. Match each type to examples in the library writing resources.

Overview
The objective of this assessment is to develop a clear plan to guide the digital transformation of supply chain operations businesses in a poster format and a summary description.
Learning Outcomes
The targeted Course Learning Outcomes for this assessment are:
CLO1: Improve business logistics and supply chain management operations through the effective implementation of technology.  CLO2: Identify and evaluate supply chain design issues, including ethical issues, and generate effective and sustainable technology solutions.  Assessment details
The objective of this assessment is to develop a clear plan to guide the digital transformation of supply chain operations businesses in a poster format along with a written description summary.
Since the supply chain is big and complex, for the purposes of this assignment, you should focus on one aspect of the supply chain, for example, manufacturing, transport, warehousing, or retail. Examine and identify the common and potential issues in that aspect, and suggest what technology and how businesses can implement in order to enhance the efficiency of their operations. The Plan: The plan should include a clear identification of the kinds of technological transformations required and a detailed process from conception to implementation of the suggested technology to improve operations efficiency. Your plan should include well-explained diagrammatic illustrations of actions, processes, and expected outcomes. The idea is to improve the efficiency of operations in the supply chain through the effective implementation of technology.
Please Note: This assessment task is NOT based on a specific identified organisation but rather on the operations and activities in the specific selected supply chain aspect. You, therefore, need to demonstrate an understanding of the work that takes place in that stage.
Your plan should be thoughtfully and creatively presented so that it is easily understood. This should include the elaborate and appropriate use of a variety of figures, tables and process maps.
Suggested approach to developing the assignment:
The following questions should be used to guide both your reading and the development of your assignment. These are meant as a guide only to formulating your assignment, including what information you should gather, what you should focus on in your critical thinking and how you should present your materials, and NOT as suggested headings, etc.
What are the common and potential issues faced in this aspect of supply chain operations?
What are the common causes of these issues?
What kinds of supply chain technologies could address these issues in order to enhance the efficiency of operations?
How should these technologies be introduced and implemented in the chosen aspect of the supply chain?
The above poster should be submitted along with a 500 words summary of description as one (1) file.
Assessment Criteria This assessment will measure your ability to:
In-depth knowledge and understanding of the operations in regard to the use of supply chain technologies
Develop a technology transformation plan which considers all the business aspects and also social and environmental challenges businesses deal with
Clarity of poster presentation and the description summary
Adequate up-to-date academic references (within 6 years, 2017-2023/2024) from the Internet and the literature to support your framework. Only valid and reliable published academic literature (books, book chapters and journal articles) are considered appropriate, although other sources such as online journals or electronic books may be used as extra references. Do NOT use lecture notes as references. You can, however, use internet sources to identify or develop illustrative situations.

Cost reimbursable contract calculation.
A contract calls for a total payment of $800,000 with a guarantee. Essentially the contractor is guaranteed to make at least $200,000 above his costs. If the contractor can demonstrate his costs exceed $600,000, the project will pay the difference, with a $50,000 ceiling on the overage. The contractor demonstrates he spent $623,000. How much (gross) must the project remit to the contractor?
Another option for the same contract has the contractor guaranteed to be paid his costs plus 20%, for costs that exceed $600,000. With the same initial assumption—guarantee of $800,000 gross payment (no requirement to itemize costs), but if the contractor can show that costs exceed $600,000, the project will pay $800,000 plus the costs that exceed $600,000, plus 20% of those excess costs, with a ceiling of $900,000 gross. The contractor demonstrates he spent $623,000. How much (gross) must the project remit to the contractor?
Under option 1.b, at what dollar amount of total costs would the contractor be assuming all of the excess costs beyond that point?
In which option did the project assume more of the risk of a cost overrun? Explain.
2. Prepare a Pareto chart of the possible causes for a student to fail a final examination in a university course.
