Retail Supply Chain Management Essay
New structure an new requirements.
Part one: Description of IoT and how it relates to Retail Industry 250 words
Requirement: I only need 250 words in this part. Please cut it down.
Part 2: Description of Application – Retail Supply Chain Management 800 words
In the previous essay, you explained different kinds of application, but the teacher gave me the feedback: “Immediately I have to remind you that you only have 2500 words so you might only want to focus on one of these applications (whilst possibly briefly mentioning the others)”
SO, WE COULD MENTION SEVERAL APPLICATIONS, BUT WE FOCUS ON ONLY ONE APPLICATION, EG: INVENTORY MANAGEMENT or DELIVERY. Not in general like the previous essay!
After we chose a specific application area, explain the technical details of the IoT application, how it works? Use some examples to help explain.
For example, if you decide to discuss the the application of IoT on delivery, the way how OCADO operates can be a good example to explains the technology choices and provides examples of the process by which IoT can be embedded in the supply chain.
Part 3: Technical consideration Important!!! 1000 words
I asked the teacher the following questions. Please read his answer carefully!
So now I have two questions:
Q1: the technical consideration seems like an important part in the marking scheme (30%), And I think this part is similar to the technical challenges in applying IoT on retail SCM. Is it right?
** Yes
If this is the right way, I think I can mention something about the camera quality, the cost to implement these technologies, the specialists needed in the process etc as the technical considerations. Do I have to focus more on this part?
** As you note, 30% of the marks are for this. Perhaps things become easier if you focus on particular parts of the SCM process – this might also include consideration of, e.g. communications networks, back to the overall controller –how much data is being shared? What are the performance (speed / accuracy) requirements? Do different technology solutions have different answers to these? Which would you choose?
So this part now becomes the most important one, we need to discuss what requirements do we need to consider while implementing the application area that we chose. You need to search about the requirements and reference the sources. Also, your own thoughts are also important, what do you think that it’s important? Think about that, then you can find some literature to support your own view. For example, if you think the speed performance is important, then why it is important. If they don’t meet speed requirement, what will happen? Who in the retail industry have a good speed management and how do they achieve that?
You can also use the example to help explain: eg: how Walmart/ How Ocado deals with that?
Part 4: future opportunities and challenges in the specific application area (eg: delivery)
(NOT in retail supply chain general) 250 words
Part 5: conclusion 100 words
Part 6: at least 15 references
