Case : Light Up My Life, Inc.
During the weekly meeting, the topic of "Supply Chains" and "Supply Chain Management" came up.
The CEO asked if she could get some information on the following:
1 What, indeed, is a supply chain?
2 How does logistics fit into a supply chain model?
3 In general, should LUML be looking at the possible use of Supply Chain Facilitators?
If yes, then from a general management perspective, what types of facilitators might be considered?
If yes, then from a logistics perspective, what types of facilitators might be considered?
If yes, then what might be some key considerations on how a facilitator could be used?
Tom, our VP, says that he will have a memo sent to the CEO in a few days with the information. After the meeting he asks you to write up the memo.
[You are not restricted on the length, but a very nice answer can be prepared in -- say -- one page -- or even less -- per question. Remember that the CEO is asking this, so she must not be very familiar with these concepts.
Sometimes a good figure can help a great deal. But very few figures are "stand alone" in their own right. Most figures also need some explanation.]
