Assignment Directions:

For this two-week assignment, you will be answering a series of questions regarding two case studies; one case study in Chapter 6 on the sourcing function and a second in Chapter 7 that addresses the logistics function. Read the Project 3 Case Studies [Word download](this link opens in a new window/tab) . It is recommended you print out a copy of this to have while answering each question. You may also read the case studies at the end of Chapters 6 and 7 in your textbook (Sanders).

As this is a two-week assignment, use your best instincts on how to "completely answer" each question. Answers should demonstrate depth of insight, excellence in research, and highly professional writing.

Instructions:

Type your responses in a copy of the Project 3 Answer Template [Word download](this link opens in a new window/tab) . It is formatted according to APA 7 and should not be modified other than to enter your response to each question. Begin by reading the assigned chapters. Next, carefully study each case study, then research each assignment context on the internet in order to provide in-depth answers and a minimum of three resources. There is a grading criterion available below that explains how your answers will be graded.

Remember to provide in-text citations for both paraphrased and quoted testimony from your experts. When inserting a direct quote, remember to include either a page number or, if a web-based resource, use a paragraph number. If you need to brush up on APA7, two resources are available in Assignment Resources & Supports to help you format references and citations.
