How BUSI 615 Week 3 Weekly Integrated Learning Project 3 is graded
Liberty grades Weekly Integrated Learning Project 3 with the rubric attached to the assignment in Canvas, worth 75 points in the published guide. That is about 7% of the course's 1,010 points. The rubric rows are the real instructions. Draft against them, and you will rarely be surprised by the grade.
Course grades in BUSI 615 use Liberty's point scale: an A is 940 to 1010 points of the course total. Missing the length or source minimum usually costs points on several rows at once, which is why the checklist below starts with them.
Timing in the published guide: Each course module/week (except Module/Week 1) begins on Saturday morning at 12:00 a.m. (ET) and ends on Friday night at 11:59 p.m. (ET). Check the due dates in your Canvas section, which govern.
The BUSI 615 Week 3 method, step by step
See where this piece sits in the project
Weekly Integrated Learning Project 3 is one stage of a larger project. Read the full project description first so this stage feeds the final submission instead of standing alone.
Choose a subject you can research
Choose a subject with plenty of public data. Every later stage will need facts about it.
Answer the questions this stage asks
Turn each question in the stage instructions into a heading and answer it with specifics about your subject, not general theory.
Apply the course model
Use the framework from Logistics that this stage is built on, named and applied step by step to your subject.
Support with sources
Back the analysis with credible sources (The custom text and your firm's data): company filings, industry data, peer-reviewed research.
Format, length and teamwork
Stay within Not set in the guide; follow the course content instructions and format in current APA. If the stage is a group deliverable, agree on who writes which section early and edit for one voice at the end.
Draw a simple data flow (which tab feeds which) and make sure the workbook follows it with formulas. Complete the specific worksheet the course instructions require this week.
A structure for BUSI 615 Week 3 Weekly Integrated Learning Project 3
Word targets are planning numbers for about 1,000 words of body text, set by the length in the guide; the rubric decides where to spend more.
| Section | What it must do | Target |
|---|---|---|
| ERP structure | How modules connect. | ~300 words |
| Week's worksheet | The required calculations. | ~500 words |
| Documentation | Notes and links. | ~200 words |
A topic angle that works
Use the ERP chapters to design how your workbook's tabs connect, as an ERP system's modules would: forecast to master schedule to MRP to capacity and distribution.
Model paragraph with notes
An original paragraph written by our desk to show the register that earns full rubric credit. It is study material: learn the moves, then write your own.
Data flow: the forecast tab feeds the master production schedule; the MPS and bill of materials feed the MRP tab; MRP planned orders feed the capacity tab (labor hours per chair) and the purchasing schedule. Finished goods move from the plant to two distribution centers, planned on the DRP tab in Week 5.
