For each context separately, respond to the following questions:
1. Prepare the supply network diagram with at least two upstream and two downstream echelons (only a diagram should suffice but you are free to add an explanation for greater clarity)
2. What factors would you consider in deciding a suitable location for that context? List down in order of importance and justify each factor (100 words for each context)
3. Specify the measure of capacity in each case and justify (upto 50 words for each context)
Additional guidance:
- Marks will be awarded on the basis of appropriateness of ideas and clarity in articulation
- In relation to the contexts above, think of a generic organisation. For example, if your chosen context is a football club think about any generic football club rather than a specific one (such as Manchester United) when formulating your responses.
