strategy and market of the business

• Define the process and the context (business unit) in which it operates. (A
Supply Chain mapping for a product or service choice is requested.)
• What is the strategy and market of the business unit?
• What does this imply in terms of the supply chain you are studying? (What
must this process be able to do particularly well in terms of cost, time,
quality, and flexibility?)
• Describe the current process structure in terms of the chosen topics, e.g.,
distribution network, inventory, location, transportation, etc…
• Discuss the process capabilities, given the current structure, in terms of the
specific dimensions identified by you in 5.
• Discuss existing problems and weaknesses in the current process. What
additional capabilities does the process need to develop?
• How should the process be restructured to develop these capabilities?
Discuss why the changes suggested by you will have the desired effect along
the key dimensions identified by you.
• Discuss how the suggested changes should be implemented with a timeline.
Explain any resistance you may face in implementing the changes.
The headings mentioned here are broad. You are expected to identify specific
dimensions along which the process is expected to do particularly well.
