Assessment Methods

Group project (Group assignment)
- Purpose:
Students learn about the actual supply activities in the enterprise , to link
knowledge and operation in reality.
- Group structure:
Each group of 5-8 students , depending on the number of students in the
class (students self-select group , vote the group leader and submit to the
faculty group member list in the first 2 weeks of school ).
- Content:
Each group will choose one topic in the course.
Each group approaches and study business according to the selected
theme (which may change the subject's request or the actual business
operation) , group discussions , may have further advice from faculty.
Each group get a referral and business contacts by themself. Lecturers
will join field trips with the group if necessary.
- Format and deadline:
Each group will submit a report of 8-12 pages A4 , in the 11th week;
groups will present to the class during the week 12-15. 5
Academic Integrity
Students are required to:
Work independently on individual assignments
Collaborating on individual assignments is considered cheating.
Avoid plagiarism
Plagiarism is an act of fraud that involves the use of ideas or words of another
person without proper attribution. Students will be accused of plagiarism if they:
Copy in their work one or more sentences from another person without proper
citation.
Rephrase, paraphrase, or translate another person’s ideas or words without
proper attribution.
Reuse their own assignments, in whole or in part, and submit them for another
class.
Work responsibly within a working group
In cooperative group assignments, all students are required to stay on task and
contribute equally to the projects. Group reports should clearly state the
contribution of each group member.
o Any acts of academic dishonesty will result in a grade of zero for the task at hand
and/or immediate failure of the course, depending on the seriousness of the fraud.

4. Aims of logistics
35
Development of logistics
Improving communication
Electronic data interchange (EDI)
Electronic point-of-sales data (EPOS)
e-purchasing of e-procurement
…
Support of EDI:
Item coding (often bar-coding)
Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) 41
Current trends
Improving customer service
Lower lead-times (giảm thời gian chờ hàng)
synchronized material movement
mass customization (chuyên biệt hóa/tùy biến theo khách
hàng với khối lượng lớn)
Other significant tendencies
Globalization
Reduced number of suppliers
Concentration of ownership (tập trung quyền sở hữu)
Outsourcing (thuê ngoài).
Make or Buy.
42
Current trends
43
Current themes
LEAN Logistics
faster deliveries, reduce stock levels, reduce handling, lower
costs, reduce waste etc.
AGILE Logistics
flexible and responsive, customized service, respond quickly to
a changing demand.
INTEGRATION Logistics
co-operate with other organizations
44
Summary
❑ Every organization creates products to satisfy customer demand. The
operations that create these products need an effective and efficient flow
of materials. In this sense, ‘materials’ are all the goods and services
needed to create products.
❑ Logistics is the function that is responsible for the flow of materials
into, through and out of an organization.
❑ Materials move through a series of related activities and organizations
between initial suppliers and final customers. These form a supply chain.
Each product has its own supply chain.
❑ There are many possible structures for supply chains, but the simplest
view has materials converging on an organization through tiers of
suppliers, and products diverging through tiers of customers.
❑ Logistics consists of a series of related activities. These range from
procurement at the beginning of operations, through to physical
distribution at the end.
45
Summary (cont.)
❑ An overall aim for logistics is to achieve high customer
satisfaction or perceived product value. This must be achieved
with acceptable costs.
❑ Every organization depends on the movement of materials, and
the way this is done affects costs, profits, relations with suppliers
and customers, customer service, and virtually every other
measure of performance.
❑ There are a lot of pressures for improving logistics. Current
trends are: Improving communication, Improving customer service,
some other significant tendencies.
❑ Current themes:
LEAN logistics, AGILE logistics, INTEGRATION logistics.
