Deliverables (in details)
(1) Term Project Paper Proposal
Develop an idea for your term project paper. Your idea could be an area of improvement (for an existing
process or product) or innovative idea (process or products) applicable to your workplace. Professor will guide
each student and provide feedback (by 3rd June 2020) to finalize the idea that will be studied further for the term
project paper. The idea should be supported with references and any other information you deem as appropriate.
(2) Term Project Paper
Conduct in-depth study and analysis on your proposed idea (that is approved by Professor on June 03, 2020) as
much as possible. You can gather information from your workplace, from practitioner and academic articles and
any other sources you deem appropriate. Make sure that you can connect your findings with the materials
covered in the class. The final term project paper will be a well-developed report that summarizes your overall
effort. At the minimum, the term project paper should contain:
•
•
•
•
•
Cover page with project title, student name, table of contents
Background information about the project topic (motivation, implications on business etc.)
Student findings on the project topic (everything that a student found about the project topic (write down
the findings in an organized way)
How your findings relate to the concepts discussed in this class. It is not necessary that you explain the
concepts in detail, only make sure you relate your work with the class materials.
References list (e.g., books, articles, websites) and Appendices (e.g., data tables, figures)
The paper should be typewritten and should be a minimum of 10 pages and maximum of 15 double-spaced
pages in length (12-point Times New Roman font; one-inch margins), not counting references, tables and the
cover page. It should be written in the form of research paper (e.g. you need to cite where your material comes
from in the body of the paper). (Read Hints and Tips on the Written Report for a better idea of instructor
expectations).
Hints and Tips on the Written Report
Pay attention so that following expectations are met in your term project paper.
•
Identification of challenges for the topic of the term paper (why you think the topic is important).
•
Operations management concepts / theories / practices learnt / discussed in class.
•
Your recommendations / suggestions / predictions.
•
Quality of organization and structure of paper; clarity in expressing thoughts and concepts, good flow,
good introduction and conclusion.
•
Quality, currency, and variety of sources cited – do not rely on only a few sources or only on the course
materials for your research. Proper setup of the bibliography and in body citation is critical.
•
Proper grammar and spelling, appropriate length, follow instructions.
Report Grading Criteria
Papers will be graded on how well the assignment guidelines were followed, quality and quantity of information
presented; shown ability to critically assess / elaborate on your area of study (rather than simply repeating
something that has already been said before). The purpose of the report is to apply what you have learned in the
class to your chosen term paper topic.
Point wise, grading criteria is: motivation / introduction / description of the research subject (eight points);
research conducted / work accomplished / literature review (eight points); recommendation / suggestions /
implementation plan / results (eight points); and quality of report / followed guidelines / comprehension /
teamwork (six points).
Sources Used in Written Report
Because the term paper needs to be written as a research paper, you must support your statements and
recommendations with appropriate facts, and statistics. Your paper is expected to include relevant, current and
credible business-related publications including quality-related operations / production management journals and
magazines.
Following is a list of what’s acceptable/not acceptable.
• Refereed journals (i.e., peer reviewed; e.g., Harvard Business Review, Quality Progress, Journal of Operations
Management, Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Review ….., etc.) and/or
respected lay journals (e.g., Fortune, Business Week, Wall Street Journal) are good. These articles can be
obtained either at the library (hard copies) or through electronic databases.
• Stay away from the use of textbooks — they are not primary sources (i.e., information included in texts is from
other primary sources). While books are fine, remember, the time it takes to get to publication suggests the
information may not be as current as the year suggests.
• Web sources are acceptable, but they should be used selectively. Additionally, not all websites are equally
good. However, websites with no validity may be those any of us could write and place on the web.
Additionally, corporate websites should be used intelligently. Over-reliance on one source is discouraged.
NOTE: Be sure you have read the above material carefully before asking questions. If you are uncertain how to
cite sources properly, ask the instructor before turning in the term project paper final report.
