Weighting: 30%
Overview
The purpose of this assessment is to develop your capability in a hypothetical situation and to build your problem solving and report writing skills.
Case study information and guidelines are available on the assessment page.
Course learning outcomes
This assessment is relevant to the following course learning outcomes:
• CLO 1: Analyse and apply the theories and practices of logistics systems in logistics management
• CLO 2: Develop supply chain and logistics systems to improve the management of logistics and supply chain management
• CLO 3: Use mathematical models to solve problems in logistics in contemporary business environment
• CLO 4: Communicate solutions to the problems effectively to a range of audiences in a report format.
After completion of this assessment you should be able to:

Assessment Details
Case study information and guidelines are available on the assessment page.
For this assignment, you are required to work on a linear programming case study.
You must submit:
• A Word file to explain your mathematical models, to report your answers, and to write recommendations for decision makers based on the solutions and,
• An Excel file to demonstrate how you use Solver to identify solutions. You must ensure that the file is in a workable condition before submission

Referencing guidelines
Use RMIT Harvard referencing style for this assessment. If you are using secondary sources, include these as a final slide in your powerpoint deck.
You must acknowledge all the courses of information you have used in your assessments.
Refer to the RMIT Easy Cite referencing tool to see examples and tips on how to reference in the appropriated style. You can also refer to the library referencing page for more tools such as EndNote, referencing tutorials and referencing guides for printing.
Submission format
You must submit:
• A Word file to explain your mathematical models, to report your answers, and to write recommendations for decision makers based on the solutions and,
• An Excel file to demonstrate how you use Solver to identify solutions. You must ensure that the file is in a workable condition before submission
• Both files should be submitted via the Canvas submission point.
Academic integrity and plagiarism
Academic integrity is about honest presentation of your academic work. It means acknowledging the work of others while developing your own insights, knowledge and ideas.
You should take extreme care that you have:
• Acknowledged words, data, diagrams, models, frameworks and/or ideas of others you have quoted (i.e. directly copied), summarised, paraphrased, discussed or mentioned in your assessment through the appropriate referencing methods
• Provided a reference list of the publication details so your reader can locate the source if necessary. This includes material taken from Internet sites
If you do not acknowledge the sources of your material, you may be accused of plagiarism because you have passed off the work and ideas of another person without appropriate referencing, as if they were your own.
RMIT University treats plagiarism as a very serious offence constituting misconduct.
Plagiarism covers a variety of inappropriate behaviours, including:
• Failure to properly document a source
• Copyright material from the internet or databases
• Collusion between students
For further information on our policies and procedures, please refer to the University website.
