...1.1 Explain the importance of effective supply chain management in achieving organizational objectives? Importance of Supply Chain Management In the ancient Greek fable about the tortoise and the hare, the speedy and overconfident rabbit fell asleep on the job, while the "slow and steady" turtle won the race. That may have been true in Aesop's time, but in today's demanding business environment, "slow and steady" won't get you out of the starting gate, let alone win any races. Managers these days recognize that getting products to customers faster than the competition will improve a company's competitive position. To remain competitive, companies must seek new solutions to important Supply Chain Management issues such as modal analysis, supply chain management, load planning, and route planning and distribution network design. Companies must face corporate challenges that impact Supply Chain Management such as reengineering globalization and outsourcing. Why is it so important for companies to get products to their customers quickly? Faster product availability is key to increasing sales, says R. Michael Donovan of Natick, Mass., a management consultant specializing in manufacturing and information systems. "There's a substantial profit advantage for the extra time that you are in the market and your competitor is not," he says. "If you can be there first, you are likely to get more orders and more market share." The ability to deliver a product faster also can make...

...Introduction The aims of this assignment are to measure the outcome of students’ learning in terms of knowledge acquired, understanding developed and skills or abilities gained in relation to the achievement of the learning outcomes. Learners are expected to use their acquired knowledge to prepare a business report of not less than 3,500 words, clarity of ideas and presentation would attract extra marks as well as use of own initiative and real and imaginative scenarios to demonstrate understanding of the course. COURSE WORK- PROCTER & GAMBLE Zeroing in on the first moment of truth Procter & Gamble, a world leader in consumer packaged goods, sells nearly 300 brands in more than 160 countries. It has sales of $40 billion a year and 130 manufacturing sites around the world. P&G measures consumer satisfaction at two levels, which it calls the two “moments of truth.” The first moment of truth occurs when the consumer reaches the shelf and finds that the desired product is, or is not, available. This is a critical moment, because if the product is not immediately available, the consumer usually moves on to buy a rival product. The second moment of truth depends on the buyer’s satisfaction when consuming the product. This, too, has a crucial impact on consumer loyalty, but is beyond the scope of this case study. Detailed consumer surveys in July 2000 told P&G that in 55% of cases (75% for promotional items), consumers were not satisfied when they looked...

...implement a chosen strategy Reference: Introduction: In today’s highly competitive world strategic planning is essential for organizational success. Strategic planning is a process undertaken by an organization to develop a plan for achievement of its overall long-term organizational goals. Strategic Planning helps management understand the current situation. This in turn allows management to plan for the future. In a world of rapid change, it is becoming imperative for management to think strategically (plan for the future). And since the rate of change seems to be escalating, the importance of strategic planning continues to grow. In fact, the best-managed companies tend to engage in continuous strategic planning. Some organizations have intuitive thinkers who almost seem to see into the future. Therefore, strategic planning is a way of preparing for the future by attempting to simulate the future. LO1: Understand the processes of strategic planning. 1.1 “Strategic planning is the process by which members of an organization envision its future and develop the necessary procedures and operations to achieve that future.” [Pfeiffer, Goodstein, Nolan, 1986] and [Rothwell, 1989] Strategic planning is also “a process of defining the values, purpose, vision, mission, goals and objectives of an organization. Through the planning process, a jurisdiction or agency identifies the outcomes it wants to achieve through its programs and the specific...

... for example, revenue per employee or percentage of orders shipped on time) and the analysis tools (analytics) applied against the outcomes are appropriate, they will help the organization to determine the best course of action to achieve its goals. The role of all managers is to help develop organizational strategies that encourage and achieve those goals. Information systems (IS) is the top-level term that refers to computer systems used within organizations that help them collect, store, retrieve, and analyze data for the purpose of supporting and extending the business side of an organization; information technology (IT) is the term that refers to the technology side of IS, responsible for the hardware, software, and networks of computer systems. At one time it was commonplace to link strategy with IS. Statements about information systems were taken as true and at face value, simply because they sounded so right. What an IS department wanted, it usually got, because what was wanted often seemed strategically important to the organization. The bursting of the ―tech bubble‖ in 2001 changed the way that companies regarded their investment in information systems. The effective management and use of information systems is essential to the future growth and prosperity of any organization. Or is it? In his 2004 book, Does IT Matter? Information Technology and the Corrosion of Competitive Advantage, Nicholas Carr asked if, since the tools that once gave IT competitive advantage are...
