...When considering technical improvements that could be made by Warner Brothers to improve its supply chain, it is immediately apparent that the downstream segment needs enhancements to enable Warner Brothers to provide digital entertainment to customers in a timelier manner. It almost seems as if the development of digital media and demand by consumers took Warner Brothers by surprise and it had to scramble to work out solutions, with the help of Hewlett-Packard (HP), to find ways to enhance its ability to produce digital content that consumers could view on a variety of devices. As discussed by Rainer & Turban (2009), Warner Brothers initially answered the demand to view new movies digitally by filming in both digital and traditional methods. This enabled the knowledgeable consumer to view a movie on his or her iPad, smart phone, laptop, or Internet-enabled television (p. 243). Improvement is needed in the area of digitizing the thousands of films in the archives. People want access to movies, television shows, and music, and want to watch them on their digital devices (Digitally Possessed, May 2012). Warner Brothers and HP accomplished the digitizing of new material, and if they now concentrate on finding a way to convert every movie Warner Brothers ever made to a digital format in a timely manner, they would be successful in satisfying the desires of digital customers. This would lead to increased profits by charging a nominal fee for downloading, or partnering...

...Demand driven supply chain Over the passage of time, the concept of supply chain and planning has gained considerable need on the retail brand in the society today. It is because the two are interred twined based on the end product and the needs of the consumer. As such, most of the companies have noticed the gap that exists between supply chain and the final product given to the consumer (Mendes, 2011). Retrospectively, they have invested a great deal of manpower and resources into planning solutions to respond to the need and remain competitive in the market. The primary focus of such a move is to gain an actual picture of the visibility related to material costs across the supply chain division. To respond to this need, many service providers have come up such as Oracle and SAP. Balancing demand It is evident that even though most of the companies have developed such unique planning solutions. However, the primary question is how to balance between the demand points and to control the variability related to customer demand. At this point, the focal point is how to annihilate the needs of the customers through the supply chain to ensure efficient service delivery and quality goods. In recent times, supply chain service provider namely JDA organized their annual event referred to as Focus. They discussed a great deal about the new form of information technology solutions that companies can adopt to make the supply chain division efficient. At that point, the organizers...

...parts of the supply chain are most closely involved with the situation in this case? What is the responsibility of each part in order to maintain smooth flow of material? There are two components of the supply chain that have broken down in this instance, materials management and production. Materials management is responsible for correctly forecasting the needed supplies and materials and passing that information off to the supplier. Production is responsible for maintaining a good line of communication based of their demand, if they are in need of more material and supplies this needs to be up-channeled to management which in turn should make a decision based on the information at hand. In my opinion, based on the available information it seems that Avion Inc. should be looking for another supplier in order to supplement what Foster cannot cover. 2. What initially appears to be the problem? What really is the problem(s) in this case? Initially it seems that the problem is Foster’s inability to keep their promise of2500 units per month, possibly because of employee issues. Upon further review it is apparent that Avion has a systemic supply chain issue based mostly on miscommunication, or no communication between departments and their suppliers causing a bullwhip effect throughout the supply chain. Foster promised2500 units per month, and Avion is ordering 4000 units per month which is outside of Foster’s capacity which is in-turn causing contractions in the supply cycle 3....

...that I believe that is important to any supply chain that will provide success in customer satisfaction is measuring performance. Setting up the appropriate metrics to measure the effectiveness of the supply chain will highlight areas needing improvement to meet the customers’ requirements. Metrics in the supply chain areas will certify an effective and efficient supply chain and room for improvements. With the market changing and competition increasing at such a fast pace it is imperative to have metrics set up to gain competitive advantage. Setting up appropriate metrics that align with the strategic plan will verify effectiveness of the supply chain or validate that improvements need to be made. These metrics can measure how the supply chain is functioning in different areas to make sure that it is functioning correctly and meeting demands. The processes in the supply chain must be mapped to the main metrics to control performance. There must a process that is in place to review the actual supply chain performance and redefine the metrics with changing business. A combined single view of supply chain performance across functions and chain of command is crucial to help management quickly conclude the causes of adversities. Measuring significance of the supply chain to profitability is the core drive why managers use metrics for supply chain performance. There is more to knowing the profitability like scorecards and other supply chain measuring applications are implemented...

Abstract McDonald’s is the largest chain of global foodservice retailer, their global operation strategy calls “plan to win” which means focus on improving existing food and service rather than overextension. Therefore, there are 3 factors need be concerned: supply chain management, operation management and potential waste of operation. Firstly, the objectives of supply chain management are that: control the quality of suppliers, ensure the logistic work efficiently, and monitor the information flow between each process, hence to make customers satisfied with our food. Secondly, we analyse the process of producing a Big Mac meal, then we found that, due to the high volume of production and low variation in demand, McDonald’s order qualifying factors are low price and quick service. Moreover, to attract more customers, the order winning factors are better quality with valued price of food and higher flexibility of choice. And managers also need to ensure all staff...

...to competitive advantage. Defy convention and explore the next evolutionary step in supply chain management] [Value chains] falseJones, Allen. Canadian Transportation Logistics104. 5 (May 2001): 22. I searched by IS and Value Chain and found this interesting article. The article basically is saying that no matter how good your mouse trap is you must have a good supply/value chain in place to make your product successful. There are several steps: “Find a killer purchasing manager to beat up on materials and service providers so that you can get your costs right.” Next find a great marketing manager to help market the product. “Success hinges on outwitting, outmanoeuvring, and outperforming everyone perceived as competition.” What this means is that the old idea of the supply chain has morphed into the value chain which is much more. It is not putting the focus on the “better” mouse trap but the entire picture. The fact that if the client needs a customized color that your company can accommodate it is part of the “value” chain. Your company forms good relationships with the vendors. Ultimately all of this translates into better relationships, more satisfied customers. cost savings and improved logistics management. Further more the internet is continuing to help shape the value chain. Current studies show that 47% of companies share data of all kinds with their value chain partners. Additionally another 14% say that plans to do so aren’t finalized but plan...
