Distribution Strategy and Recommendation
Analysis
Create a flowchart that shows the flow of a product through a
supply chain.
Slam! is a company that sells tennis balls. Its clients
are tennis clubs, school sports programs, and retail stores. Back
in January, its management team completed their annual strategic
planning. The team set an objective for the company to speed up the
time to deliver ordered products to their customers from 4 days to
2 days using the delivery time KPI to measure the
performance of the operation in meeting the faster delivery time
objective. It is now June, and the current KPI report shows that
the delivery time is still not meeting customer expectations of 2
days, with delivery taking 3 days. Customer orders have decreased
by 10% due to their dissatisfaction with the slow deliveries. The
supply chain manager knows that the company needs to implement a
new strategy to increase its delivery time while also controlling
costs. Review the table below, which highlights possible strategies
that the company might implement along with the processes and tools
required to implement each strategy. The company has asked you to
recommend an effective strategy for achieving its order fulfillment
objective in the next 6 months. Write a 3.5-page analysis that
includes the following:
Strategies
Processes and Tools
Prioritization of orders for fulfillment; integration of order
management and warehouse management into one system
Prioritization matrix by customer contract type and
service-level agreement; new order warehouse management system
where the product type that is ordered triggers an automatic flag
of inventory location for the warehouse team
Staging packaging materials for easier and quicker packaging of
products
Staging various packaging materials, which are organized for
easy combination depending on the type of product(s) ordered;
warehouse equipment, storage, and employees for staging
Systemically aligning customer contract with shipping method
Updated order management system with a field for the
contractually agreed-upon customer shipping method that is
automatically pulled from the customer’s record in the CRM when an
order is placed and is automatically communicated to the warehouse
system; a transportation system to ensure the faster readiness of
customer order for shipment; order management system, customer
relationship management, warehouse management system, and
transportation management system
Hybrid strategy that incorporates one or more of the strategies
above
Processes and tools from selected strategies
Conclusion
The conclusion is the last thing that the reader will
remember about your essay.
