Application
Based on what you have learned throughout class, how does modelling help the supply chain manager? (1 ½ pages)This section must include research comparable to that used in other modules of this course. Support your points with research. This is not about your opinion.
Effective academic and research writing requires a 3rdperson voice. This SLP will be written in 3rd person. Do not use any quotations. Refer to yourself in third-person as “researcher” or you can write about what the “management team” will do, rather than saying “I” and “we.” Since you are engaging in research, be sure to cite and reference the sources in APA format. NOTE: failure to use research with accompanying citations to support content will result in reduced scoring “Level 2-Developing” for Assignment-Driven Criteria, Critical Thinking and Assignment Organization and Quality of References on the grading rubric.
