DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF ASSIGNMENT
Students will work in groups of three. Select a hospitality operation of your choice and critically analyse its operations. This must be done within the following inter-related framework which draws on Chapters 7-9 in the required text by Jones and Robinson (2012):
1. Managing capacity and demand
2. Managing queuing and customer satisfaction
3. Managing quality
Students will form into groups of 3/4. A hospitality operation with which they are familiar will be selected and critically analysed. Findings of your critical analysis will be developed into a 3,000 – 3,500 word management style report – submitting one per group. The content of the report will be from a hospitality operations management perspective which applies the key concepts associated with each of the components of this framework to inform your recommendations for operational improvements.
As an example, an appropriate heading structure for the case study report would be: Introduction; Overview of
Hospitality Operation; Capacity and Demand; Queuing and Customer Satisfaction; and Quality; Recommendations.
