Title: “Strategic Approaches to Aggregate Planning and Forecasting for ABC Brewing Company”
Give your response to one of the questions below,
What types of industries or situations are best suited to the chase strategy? The flexibility strategy? The level strategy?
What are the major cost categories needed as inputs for aggregate planning?
The ABC Brewing Company manufactures five different kinds of beer. The demand for two products is be going up. The demand for the other three products is going down. The company is interested only in the overall growth and the overall resources (people, machines, storage, and raw materials) needed for the next year. Should the company make a forecast of the five products individually or should they try to combine these forecasts and do an aggregate plan? What is the advantage and disadvantage of each approach? -
Title: Financial Performance and Supply Chain Strategies of Companies: A Comparison of Table 3-8 and Table 3-1 Metrics
Using Table 3-8 on page 68 of the textbook to answer the questions shown below.
Evaluate the financial performance of each company based on the various metrics discussed in Section 3.1, such as ROE, ROA, profit margin, asset turns, APT, C2C, ART, INVT, and PPET.
Can you explain the differences you see in their performance based on their supply chain strategy and structure?
Compare the metrics for each company with similar metrics for Amazon and Nordstrom from Table 3-1. Which metrics does each company perform better on?
What supply chain drivers and metrics might explain this difference in performance?
You need to use the Case Study Format for this assignment. The Case Study Format file can be found in the instructions of the Module 2 Case Study. Make sure you answer all four questions. I suggest that you show how you determined the financial values if you want partial credit if you make a mistake. For example a excel sheet with formulas is an excellent source. I will extend the time for the Module 2 Case Study until Wednesday at midnight, if you want to try again.
