Considering the 10 OM decisions, your paper will be a review of issues that were caused by a failure in the production/operations management process. You will compare and contrast the current research findings with the principles and concepts presented in your Heizer, et al. textbook. All reference sources should be from academic journals, professional trade publications, and respected business or industry magazines. Limit the use of books as sources. Do NOT use articles or sources from Wikipedia! Use references published within the past six years.

Insightful and thorough analysis of all the issues. 23.0 to >20.0 pts Above Average - B Identifies and understands most of the main issues in the question. Thorough analysis of most of the issues. 20.0 to >17.0 pts Average - C Identifies and understands some of the issues in the question.

No analysis of the issues. 25.0 pts Organization and Coherence 30.0 to >26.0 pts Excellent - A Uses a logical structure appropriate to paper's subject, purpose, audience, thesis, and disciplinary field. Sophisticated transitional sentences often develop one idea from the previous one or identify their logical relations.

Some logical links may be faulty, but each paragraph clearly relates to paper's central idea. 24.0 to >22.0 pts Average - C May list ideas or arrange them randomly rather than using any evident logical structure. May use transitions, but they are likely to be sequential (first, second, third) rather than logic-based. While each paragraph may relate to central idea, logic is not always clear. 22.0 to >20.0 pts Near Failing - D May have random organization, lacking internal paragraph coherence and using few or inappropriate transitions.

Paragraphs do not relate to the paper's central idea. 30.0 pts Links to Course Readings and Additional Research 25.0 to >23.0 pts Excellent - A Excellent research into the issues with clearly documented links to class (and/or outside) readings. Much more than the minimum references required; effort to explore topic exceeds expectations; use of primary and secondary sources; all information meets quality criteria. Sources interspersed with writer's own analysis or synthesis; quotes are less than 10% of paper; good use of summary and paraphrase; all sources are documented. 23.0 to >20.0 pts Above Average - B Good research and documented links to the material read. Slightly more than the minimum references required; effort to ensure breadth and depth; possibly no primary sources; all information meets quality criteria. Sources interspersed with writer's own work; quotes are less than 20% of paper; good use of summary and paraphrase; all sources are documented. 20.0 to >17.0 pts Average - C Limited research and documented links to any readings. At least the minimum references required; reasonable breadth and depth of exploration; 1-2 sources lack quality criteria (i.e., Wikipedia). 1-2 instances of stringing source references together with little of the writer's own work; quotes are 25% or more of paper. 17.0 to >15.0 pts Near Failing - D Incomplete research and links to any readings. Less than the minimum references required; or providing only surface coverage; most sources lack quality criteria. More than 2 instances of stringing source references; quotes are 40% or more of paper; OR paper includes few references to sources. 15.0 to >0 pts Failing - F Provided no references or support of analysis. Very few sources; no attempt to explore various points of view; all sources lack quality criteria total. No references to sources; OR there is evidence of plagiarism. 25.0 pts Style, Mechanics, Grammar and Format 20.0 to >17.0 pts Excellent - A Chooses words for their precise meaning and uses an appropriate level of specificity.
