INF 336 Week 1 DQ 1 Risk Management (Ash)
  • Risk Management. Risk management is a critical
    aspect of project management. The supply chain
    decisions that are made have risk involved like
    any other project decision. Comment on two
    examples of risks that can occur in the supply
    chain that can affect a project. What can you do
    as a project manager to reduce or eliminate the
    risks that you defined? Provide professional
    examples, if at all possible, from a project you
    have managed or of which you have been a team
    member.

INF 336 Week 1 DQ 2 Organizational Structure (Ash)
  • Organizational Structure. The structure of an
    organization can influence the overall success of
    a project from initiation to closure. Identify if
    your organization is centralized or decentralized
    and evaluate benefits and weaknesses of the
    structure. Would you change from centralized or
    decentralized to meet the needs of your projects?
    Why or why not? Respond to at least two of your
    classmates? posts.

    organization, or an organization you are familiar
    with, could improve with the practices

INF 336 Week 2 DQ 1 Supply Process Improvements
(Ash)
  • Supply Process Improvements. Examine the steps of
    the supply process in Chapter 4 of the text and
    identify a project where improvements could be
    made in one or more of the steps. Would the
    project have been more successful with the
    implementation of any or all of these steps in
    the supply process?

7
INF 336 Week 2 DQ 2 Outsourcing (Ash)
  • Outsourcing. The process of outsourcing the
    creation of a product or a service is a
    controversial, yet critical strategic decision
    for many employers. Describe one example from
    your professional experience, or that you are
    familiar with, where a process or function was
    outsourced. What are the financial implications
    of this change? Did the quality of the product or
    service stay the same, improve, or decline

8
INF 336 Week 3 Assignment Need Definition (Ash)
  • Need Definition. From the end of Chapter 6,
    complete the following questions out of the
    section titled Questions for Review and
    Discussion. Each question should be thoroughly
    answered in a minimum of 150 words, using support
    from the text and examples when appropriate.
  • a. Why is it preferable to separate need
    identification and defining commercial
    equivalents into two separate stages?

  • c. What are the disadvantages of specifying by
    performance? What are the advantages?

9
INF 336 Week 3 DQ 1 Capital Goods (Ash)
  • Capital Goods. A project manger needs to
    understand the importance of the acquisition of
    capital goods. There are many choices for capital
    good procurement, including buying or leasing new
    equipment, or buying used equipment. Describe an
    example from the text or your personal
    professional experience where your project or
    organization had to procure capital goods for
    strategic reasons. What was the type of equipment
    (new, used) and how was it purchased? Please
    comment on the benefits of the choice selected.
    Respond to at least two of your classmates? posts

10
INF 336 Week 3 DQ 2 Quality (Ash)
  • Quality. Suitability and reliability are two
    examples of quality in terms of buying materials,
    goods or services. Provide an example of a best
    buy from your professional experience where
    quality aspects were not met in accordance to the
    text definition of quality dimensions. What
    aspect of quality could be improved for future
    projects?

11
INF 336 Week 4 Assignment Case 11-3 Budget (Ash)
  • Case 11-3 Budget. Refer to the City of Granston

    on the importance of a materials supply budget.

    one-paragraph introduction on the importance of a
    materials and supply budget.
  •  

12
INF 336 Week 4 DQ 1 Procuring Services (Ash)
  • Procuring Services. Many projects need to procure
    services to execute successfully no matter what
    industry you are in. There is a personal
    relationship with the service provider, which
    makes collaboration much more important than when
    selecting goods products. Describe a project you
    have been involved with, or have knowledge of,
    where services were a major part of the
    deliverables. How were references checked for
    service suppliers and what lessons were learned
    from the process? What contributing factors
    ultimately led to the service supplier being
    selected?

13
INF 336 Week 4 DQ 2 Target Pricing (Ash)
  • Target Pricing. Target pricing is experiencing
    growing use in North America. Should businesses
    use target pricing? Do you think target pricing
    can only be used for manufactured goods, or can
    it also be applied to services? Defend your
    choices. Respond to at least two of your
    classmates? posts

14
INF 336 Week 5 DQ 1 Sustainability (Ash)
  • Sustainability. Sustainability is an
    important ethical and environmental issue in
    purchasing. Describe one material, product, or
    service that can contribute to sustainability in

    current organization. Describe how these
    decisions enable the organization to avoid
    violations in terms of environmental issues.

15
INF 336 Week 5 DQ 2 Liability (Ash)
  • Liability. Personal liability is a serious issue
    in purchasing and supply management. Provide
    details from the text or your personal experience
    where a supply officer or project manager has
    been held personally liable for conditions of a
    contract. Comment on how you will proceed in the
    future to avoid any personal liability for
    contracts if at all possible. The text provides
    excellent examples that can be researched
    starting on page 311

16
INF 336 Week 5 Research Paper (Ash)
  • Focus of the Research Paper
  • Use at least one project you have been a team
    member of, or a project manager for, as an
    example to contextualize the research topics
    below

    order for the paper to be complete

    management and the importance to the business
    world.

    service, and material budget from detailed
