Applying theoretical methods, select the most appropriate set of supply chain management practices and demonstrate why they are the most appropriate to enable the organization to improve its overall performance. 25%

Therefore, students are required to identify some models from the literature for comparative analysis of the practices and critically evaluate the recommended practices.
