Managing Operations Assignment

Read handouts “Inventory” below and “Suggested Websites” under / within this folder. And then check out suggested websites of three main topics: 1) inventory management 2) JIT system 3) MRP concepts

The websites will normally require you to specify which of the three topics above you wish to research. Once you get to the home page, you will still normally need to specify your interest to find the pages you may be interested in researching. You must select one of these three topics listed above and write a (1.5 – 2 pages) paper including the definition, the purpose, basic elements, primary concepts, and benefits. You also need to provide one super URL of your selected topic and post your written report in the Discussion Board, in the forum titled “Managing Operations”, under the proper topic thread.

All the work should be in single spaced, Times Roman 12, (1.5 – 2 pages) APA 6th edition or higher with references and n-text citations any plagiarism is considered zero.
