module 3 ct ops405 – Option 1: Statement of Work – Product-Based
Chapter 9 in the Burt, Petcavage, and Pinkerton text refers to creating a statement of work (SOW). Imagine that you need to hire a consultant to identify and provide production recommendations for a product-based firm. Create a SOW for the consultant that meets the criteria set forth in the chapter, and discuss why you chose to include that content. In addition, answer these four questions:
- What is the primary objective of the SOW?
- Why is it essential to differentiate between the primary objective and subordinate objectives while developing the SOW?
- How does the SOW affect administration of the contract?
- Describe the balancing act required when developing the SOW. Give two examples.
Instructions:
- Your essay will require:
- An organizational structure that includes: an introduction section, a conclusion section, and individual sections that address each of the components in a SOW for a product/firm based on a manufacturing industry (such as vehicles), and individual sections that answer the four additional questions, above.
- Write a 3- to 4-page paper (page count doesn’t include the required title and reference pages).
- Your paper must be properly cited and formatted according to theCSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements.
- This is an individual paper and and you must adhere to CSU-Global’s Re-Using and Re-Purposing One’s Own Work guidelines.
- You must support your analysis with at least four scholarly references. Sources such as Wikipedia, USA Today, Fox News, or MSNBC news do not qualify as scholarly references. The CSU-Global Library is a good place to find these sources.
