company and describe the processes according to the GSCF

1. Activity Description

Type of Activity: Collaborative

Evaluation Moment: Intermediate Unit 1
Highest Activity Score: 100 points
The activity starts on: Monday, The activity ends on: Sunday, October 3,
September 6, 2021 2021
With this activity, the following learning outcomes are expected:

Describe and configure a logistics network for a company or a network of companies

and its processes, as well as the interaction between actors, its efficiency and its
logistics processes based on global models.

The activity consists of:

Individual:

Step 1
Enter the knowledge environment and make a comprehensive review of the contents
of Unit 1 in order to acquire knowledge necessary for the development of the proposed
activity -Configure the network for a company and describe the processes according to
the GSCF-.

Step 2
Share your knowledge using a graphic representation and post it on the collaborative
forum.

Step 3
Propose a company for the development of collaborative work on the collaborative
forum.

Collaborative:

1
Based on the companies proposed by each of the members of the group, they proceed
to choose one of them to develop the following activities.

Step 1:
Configure the Structural Network for the company under study. (Diagram that includes
Focus Company, 3 levels of suppliers and 3 levels of clients).

Step 2:
Using the structural dimensions of the network of the company under study; explain
the horizontal structure, vertical structure and horizontal position of the company, to
give examples of types of process links (Managed, Monitored, Not administered and
Non-participant), for the structural network of the company under study (in addition
to signaling them in the diagram they must be explained)

Step 3
Explain how the 8 strategic processes (according to Lambert) are applied in the
company under study.

Step 4
To build a comparative table where the main approaches in Supply Chain Management
are presented as follows:
a. The strategic focus of the GSCF,
b. The transactional approach of APICS SCOR MODEL,
c. The approach of John Gattorna (Dynamic Supply Chain).

Step 5
According to Gattorna, "Generic Configurations", identify and explain the generic
structure that, according to the collaborative work group, most identifies the Supply
Chain or Value Network of the company under study.

For the development of the activity consider that:

In the Initial Information Environment, you must: Select the company under study

In the Learning Environment, you must: Review the contents of Unit 1 in order to
develop the proposed activity.

In the Evaluation Environment, you must: Upload the comparative table and the
graphic Structural Network.

Individual Work Evidences:
The individual evidence to be submitted is: sharing the graphic representation about
the network configuration for a company selected and describe the processes
according to the GSCF
Collaborative Evidences:
The collaborative evidence to be submitted is:

A report that contains:

• Cover page
• Introduction (you must write at least three paragraphs – firstly, you need to
write about the document’s objective, secondly, you must describe step by step
how was your methodology; and thirdly, you summarize what the reader will
find in the document -if you split the document into several parts or chapters;
please explain what which one contains inside).
• Objectives of the report (general and specifics)
• Development of the activity.
• Conclusions (one for each member of the group; there you need to analyze all
of information obtained and compare it respectively your conclusions and your
specifics objectives’ activity, it is mandatory to conclude in context)
• Bibliography (APA) Standards. You must use in this activity minimum three
references, which must be obtained from the learning environment - Contents
and bibliographical references - Unit 1 - Foundations in Supply Chain
Management and Logistics - Contents and bibliographical references -. You can
use additional information from websites but these must be citated.

 The file must be placed in the Evaluation and monitoring environment in the link
Phase 2 Configure the network for a company and describe the processes according
to the GSCF, before the due time according to the indicated in the course agenda

The presentation that is not uploaded on the date and space indicated will not be
scored.

• Student who does not participate in the forum with significant contribution will have a
zero “0” score.

2. General Guidelines for the Development of Evidences to Submit

For Collaborative evidence, consider the following: each student will take up a role,
he/she will present a thematic and will discuss with his/her partners the
comprehension and identification of the problem as a response in the moment of
planning.

Based on this, students will design a strategy and arrange elements needed for the
construction of the final product.

Equally, they will arrange a synchronic encounter through a web conference to run
each activity.

• The product of this moment will be selected and accepted by the group leader,
also the roles that might be needed. Moreover, sharing the strategy to be used
about the development of suggested work, this is to create participation,
assertive and efficient discussion by everyone of the participants in the
corresponding collaborative forum to allow the construction of each one of the
proposed products.

• All members of the group must participate with their contributions in the
development of the activity.

• In each group a single member will be chosen to submit the requested product
in the environment indicated by the teacher.

• Before submitting the requested product, students should check that it meets
all the requirements mentioned in this activity guide.

4
 • Only the members of the group that participated with contributions during the
time assigned for the activity should be included as authors of the submitted
product.

Please keep in mind that all individual or collaborative written products must comply
with the spelling rules and presentation conditions defined in this activity guide.
Regarding the use of references, consider that the product of this activity must
comply with APA format.
In any case, make sure you comply with the rules and avoid academic plagiarism.
You can review your written products using the Turnitin tool found on the virtual
campus.

Under the Academic Code of Conduct, the actions that infringe the academic order,
among others, are the following: paragraph e) "Plagiarism is to present as your own
work all or part of a written report, task or document of invention carried out by
another person. It also implies the use of citations or lack of references, or it
