Submit a journal article and review on the topic of Design/Manufacturability.
- find an article that is both relevant to the topic and add “real world” insight to the application of textbook issues. The list of suggested sources is as follows, in no particular order:
- Decision Sciences
- Journal of Operations Management
- Journal of Business Forecasting
- Management Quarterly
- Production and Inventory Management Journal
- Management Science
- Manufacturing Engineering
- Business Horizons
- Harvard Business Review
- Academy of Management Journal
- Purchasing
- International Journal of Purchasing & Materials Management
- Journal of the Operations Research Society
In general, articles should be at least 7 pages in length. A good rule of thumb: If it doesn’t have a bibliography, it’s probably not an academic article. A “Googled” blip (CNN News, for example) will not suffice. You will be graded on how well your article contributed to the body of knowledge presented in the course, so the best articles are those that either apply textbook topics or present additional materials not covered in the textbook.
- Your review must be no greater than 2 pages. It shall summarize the article in the first paragraph. The next two or more paragraphs should explain what you learned from the article and why you thought it was important to the field of operations management.
- Submit article in APA format with 2 references, one of the provided text and the other of the link to the article.
