You must not permit another student access to your work. Where referencing is required, unless otherwise stated, the Harvard referencing system must be used (see your Programme Guide). PART 1. Manufacturing: Economics, Quality and Organisation Part 1 contributes 50% of the marks allocated to this assignment. 1.1. Introduction Modern manufacturing plants are highly efficient, well-organised outfits. Their profitability relies on this efficient organisation and the perceived quality of their products. 1.2. Question For this assignment, you must write a review article entitled: “Manufacturing Organisation: Systems and Benefits” In this assignment you should discuss the current thinking on how manufacturing processes can be organised to maximise benefits (e.g. in terms of quality and efficiency) In completing the assignment, you should research the topic fully. Consult the library and the web to find books and articles (e.g. academic journal papers, magazine/newspaper articles, conference papers etc) which will help to inform your discussion. You should list your literature/reference sources at the end of your review. The work submitted must be in your own words. For instance, you should not paste large chunks of other people’s words into your own work, though it is acceptable to quote relatively small extracts. The source of all quotes and other pasted extracts (e.g. diagrams – it is acceptable to scan or paste diagrams) should beclearly acknowledged in the “Harvard” referencing style (e.g. Smith, 2008) where the surname
of the first author and date of publication is given in your text. The full list of such references should be given at the end of your review with articles listed in alphabetical order of authors. 1.3. Structure Your article should be 2500 ± 300 words in length. A suitable structure could be: 1. Introduction: This should be a brief introduction to the topic which describes the basic background to the ideas of quality and manufacturing organisation and outlines the aims and objectives of the assignment. Around 300 words. 2. Manufacturing Organisation: This is your literature review of the field of manufacturing organisation. Here the ideas of how manufacturing is organised (e.g. factory layout) should be discussed. Around 1200 words. 3. The Benefits of Manufacturing Organisation: This is the “integrating” part of your article. Essentially you need to discuss the effects, benefits and problems of using organisation systems. Bear in mind that while effective factory organisation bring benefits, they may also bring disadvantages. Around 1000 words. (You may choose to integrate Sections 2 and 3 if this suits you better) 4. List of References: Harvard Style. List alphabetically by author surname. e.g. Naveh. E., Marcus, A. (2004). "When does ISO 9000 Quality Assurance standard lead to performance improvement?” IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management, 51(3), 352–363. Note that the above structure is not compulsory. It would also make sense to structure as follows: 1. Introduction: This should be a brief introduction to the topic which describes the basic background to the ideas of quality and manufacturing organisation and outlines the aims and objectives of the assignment. Around 300 words. 2. Manufacturing Organisation for Efficiency: See 1st list of keywords below. Around 1000 words. 3. Manufacturing Organisation for Quality: See 2nd list of keywords below. Around 1000 words 4. Conclusions: Around 200 words. 5. List of References: Harvard Style. List alphabetically by author surname. 1.4.
