Finally, please write a short memo

What did you find most surprising in this assignment?
What was the most difficult part of this assignment?
Which part of the assignment was the most fun?
Follow these instructions to understand the required format of your assignment. There will be
step-by-step prompts asking you to either upload or write out the specific steps of the assignment
Your assignment will be graded based on a successful demonstration of the concepts covered in
this course. Specifically, you will be assessed on your ability to put together a cohesive logistics
network.
You will be required to include at least a map of your warehouse network, a table showing your
time calculations, and an overall justification of
lead
the viability of your logistics network.
We recommend that you also think about what the
implications are of the network that you have
designed. That part is to create an exchange between
you and your peer reviewers, rather than an
objective evaluation.
Please don’t penalize grades based on transit times
or the number of warehouses. There are many
different logistics networks and the goal of the
assignment is to go through the steps, rather than
picking one specific example.
Here are some examples to help you understand
what your assignment should look like.
In this example, the learner has created a network
with three warehouses located in proximity to most
of the customers. I hope this example made it easier
to understand the assignment guidelines more
thoroughly. All that is left to do now is to calculate
the distances from each warehouse to each customer.
I hope you enjoy the assignment as much as I do!
