Hi Sara,

Please attach your thesis to make it possible for any consideration.

Hello Amir,

Thank you so much for reaching out.

A first draft of the report is now attached.

Kind regards,

Ok Sarah, let me see and I will contact you ASAP.

Thank you very much.

 Sure attached and I will review Sarah.

 Hello Sir Don,

It's now attached, thank you very much for your time.

Best regards,

Sarah,

A couple inputs.

 The problem you were trying to solve and path to conclusions are not clear in the paper. I get your formula's etc. But why the are important to the work being accomplished is not clear.

  Did you identify opportunities within the constraints defined by your supervisor? If so what were the opportunities identified and how did validate your results to enable you to propose a change? Did the operation improve its throughput? Did it lower its inventory? etc. Was there a strategic contribution?

 Your modeling was interesting but what did that modeling do for you in addressing your problem statement. You indicated that you were to elaborate a production plan. Was there no plan and if so our were they operationally functioning? What results did your elaboration yield?

It sounds like a unique learning period for you. But I would look at your flow and start with the problem and how you gradually built to a solution using the tools that and operational research training to get to a optimized plan and why it was good for this business.

  Many times internships are opportunity for some business to achieve some extra resources during a times of busyness. But you have a goal personally to obtain some experience and apply your education to solve a problem. Because the result gives you a completed thesis. You may want to organize this in that sort of flow. Good luck and interesting work.

Hello Sir,

Thank you very much for taking a close look at my report. You input is really very appreciated.

That was my first draft and getting insightful and constructive remarks as yours were the reason of this post. It made it clear that some points still need to be clarified in my report. Actually the model was built in order to solve the problem using a mathematical optimization solver directly but the company doesn't have any licence ( free solvers fail to solve even very small industrial instances) and licences are very costly they find.. so I let down the modeling and wrote an algorithm from scratch.

As for the remarks regarding the results, I still have not included the numerical results and as you see the conclusion part is still blank but thank you very much for your insights, yes I got an optimized plan that mainly minimizes the inventory to the strict minimum (on each period we have almost exactly the minimum inventory required) so I guess this algorithm will be very sufficient for the company in the case of the production of items with very close expiry dates ( fresh foods for instance ).

Thank you very much Sir, it is very enlightening to read your remarks as an expert in production planning. I will do my best reorganizing the flow of the report as you have suggested.

Dear Sara,

Kindly find attached the review on your MS thesis.

Trusting this meet with your approval and should you have any further question please do not hesitate to ask.

Kind regards,

Amir

Quantitative research evaluation through the "Crreswell Method" (2005, 273):

• Review of the research title

It is briefly described and studied, but not all the variables in the research have been well described in its title.

• Review of the research problem

In investigating the research problem, the researcher is well described as controversial, but the importance and necessity of research is not clear, and because of its generalization, it includes a brief, and although it has a theoretical value because of the rational relationship with the reference of the research, There is no practical research.

• Review of the research literature

The research has the appropriate theoretical foundations and, in particular, inspired by VIF, it has a theoretical framework, but its operational framework is ambiguous, and though it has been used in a well-documented manner as a standard, but there is an acceleration in the documentation of the document, which may be due to concerns about the writing of the research. Also, research literature has not been reviewed at the end of the research.

• Review of the hypotheses are well-written

The hypotheses are not specified as well-written. The research has its own variables, so that the variation in the variables affecting the dependent variables of the research is very good, but it is better to use the modulatory variables. However, the weak points of the research are as not to be mentioned the disturbing variable, so that the disturbing, uncontrolled effects and the undesirable effects of this type of variable on the conceptual model of the research have not been investigated. The strengths of this research are the precise and operational definition of each of the variables, but there is no evidence of variable manipulation during the research. It seems that the ultimate goal is not well-defined based on the title of the research and its comparison with assumptions, and in particular, the final target statement is not clear.

• Review of the research design

The research plan has been identified and the scores derived from the measurements have the necessary validity and reliability.

• Review of the findings and discussion

The findings of the research are relevant and meaningful, but the discussion and conclusions are not adequately addressed and do not provide an accurate interpretation of the research philosophy and its implications unless it provides guidance or suggestion to use the research in the hands of the reader.

• Review of the research structure

The main problem of the study is its own structure which is not in the form of methodology. In this case it was better to specify the scientific levels of the study as follows:

Hello Sir Amir,

I am very grateful for the time you took to read the report and give such constructive insights and remarks about my thesis. Your input as a PhD about the methodology and the title is something I would have never paid attention to even though I read the thesis thousand times.

Luckily I still have one month to take your remarks into consideration, thank you very much again sir.

Best regards,

Hi Sara,

How are things with you?

How's your thesis's process?

Is there anything which I can help you?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Kind Regards,

Amir

Hello sir Amir, thank you very much, I have finished the report, tried my best following your advice along with sir Don's advice! Here's the new version with a thank you note :

Thank you a lot for your time again sir!

Dear Sara,

Let me read and I will tell you accordingly.

Sara,

You have done your Master Thesis very well but the most important thing which your thesis needs to be well rounded, is to adjust it by methodological process. If you have any time to make it adjusted let me know to present you relevant process which are used in a methodological study.

In public words you should make your thesis beautiful.
