Topic: Supply Chain Management

Order Description

Compare and contrast the supply chains that are involved when Citizen A buys a gallon of milk from the local store and on the same day, Citizen B places an online order for a personalised pair of trainers. Your comparative analysis may make assumptions and consider any aspect of supply chain management but must address the following:

• The process views of the chains involved, including a discussion of the flows and time frames.
• The supply network designs and structures involved, including a discussion of facilities, inventory, transportation and IT.
• The supply and demand planning involved, including a discussion of forecasting and coordination.
• The cross-functional decisions involved, including a discussion of sourcing, revenue management and sustainability.
