Just how did that new top happen to be in Gap just when you wanted it? How about fruit from South America in the middle of winter conveniently available in your local store? How these products and thousands more that we take for granted are impacted by supply chain management will be the topic.
Additional information from a reference in the subject matter is required for this discussion.
For your opening post start by selecting a company that interests you and researching their logistics and supply chain.
You may NOT use Walmart or Target. Any one firm may only be used ONCE. Please begin your post by listing your firm in BOLD CAPITALS so it is easy to see.
Your post should include, among other issues:
• A description of the firm's supply chain
• What practices and techniques they use
• How effective you believe them to be and why
• What unique issues, if any, they face
• How their SCM compares to that of their competition
• What you might do differently were you in charge
