Overview:
For this assignment, you will
create a professional looking PowerPoint presentation on an operations
management topic covered in this course. The scenario is that your
supervisor has assigned you the task of presenting a 30-minute training session
on this topic. You need to research your topic and prepare an engaging
PowerPoint that would be used as a visual aid in for your presentation.
Topic Ideas
The course textbook will be a great
resource when looking for a topic that relates to some aspect of operations
management. Some examples of topics include (but are not limited to):
- How to deploy
a successful quality improvement program - Tips to
effective demand forecasting - How to
create a meaningful and impactful mission statement - What
are the keys to successful project management
It is recommended that you pick a
topic of interest and then do some research to make sure you can find five credible
sources – more about credible sources below. Once you are certain you can
locate five credible sources, begin creating your PowerPoint
presentation.

PowerPoint Requirements:

o
Speaker notes are a presenter’s “cheat sheet”,
if you will. In other words, speaker notes are hidden from your audience, but
you are able to view them while presenting.
o
Speaker notes are NOT a copy of the information
on your slide. Instead, speaker notes expand upon and/or offer further
clarification regarding points on each slide.
o To
add speaker notes, go to the Notes pane under the slide where you will see,
“Click to add notes”.
