Important assessment information
Aims of this assessment
This assessment explores your understanding of the enterprise, its

policies and procedures for environmental sustainability are assessed.
There are further questions that test your understanding, knowledge,

and concepts. Finally, the assessment looks at your underpinning
knowledge about supply chains in the Asia – Pacific region.

Australian Qualifications Framework.

will be assessed against a marking guide provided to assessors for
their determination.
What does “not-yet-competent” mean?
This occurs when an assessment does not meet the marking guide
standards provided to assessors. These answers either do not address
the question specifically, or are wrong from a legislative perspective,
or are incorrectly applied. Answers that omit to provide a response to
any significant issue (where multiple issues must be addressed in a
question) may also be deemed not-yet-competent. Answers that have
faulty reasoning, a poor standard of expression or include plagiarism
may also be deemed not-yet-competent. Please note, additional
information regarding Monarch’s plagiarism policy is contained in the
Student Information Guide which can be found here:
http://www.monarch.edu.au/student-info/
What happens if you are deemed not-yet-competent?
In the event you do not achieve competency by your assessor on this
assessment, you will be given one more opportunity to re-submit the
assessment after consultation with your Trainer/ Assessor. You will
know your assessment is deemed ‘not-yet-competent’ if your grade
book in the Monarch LMS says “NYC” after you have received an email
from your assessor advising your assessment has been graded.
Important: It is your responsibility to ensure your assessment
resubmission addresses all areas deemed unsatisfactory by your
assessor. Please note, if you are still unsuccessful in meeting
competency after resubmitting your assessment, you will be required
to repeat those units.
In the event that you have concerns about the assessment decision
then you can refer to our Complaints & Appeals process also contained
within the Student Information Guide.

Operational
Question 1:
In a few sentences explain the difference between logistics strategy and logistics
operations.
Logistics strategy is the set of guiding principles, driving forces and ingrained
attitudes that help to coordinate goals, plans and policies between partners
across a supply chain(Lopez, Sergio M. “Comparing Operations Management with Supply Chain
Management.”
LinkedIn, 6 Jan. 2016, www.linkedin.com/pulse/comparing-operations-management-supply-
chain-lopez-mba-cpim-cscp.)
Logistics operationsincludes the inbound, internal and outbound management of
the supply chain, this also includes production. It is about turning inputs
(materials, technology and equipment) into outputs, logistic operations involve
all the steps in between from the supplier to the customer, such as; the drivers
and warehouse operatives. Operationsturns the materials into outbound
products, ready to sell.

Question 2:
Select any company for which you can obtain some information related to their
logistics processes/operations and the role they play in the supply chain of which
they are a part. For example, you can consider choosing an organisation like a
quick service restaurant (McDonalds) or grocery retail shopping (Coles,
Woolworths) or any other organisation of your choice and gather information
about the logistics processes and operations from the internet. Think about a
specific product or service that you have used or purchased. Ask yourself how
did that product or service come into your possession? What had to happen to
create the product or service?
A) Produce a “value chain and supply chain map” (similar to figure 1.4)
identifying the companies upstream (includes the suppliers of a company)
and downstream (the customers of a company) in their supply chain.
B) Identify their suppliers, customers and the final or end customer in the
supply chain.
