Bonnie Simmons and Memorial University. Centre for Innovation in Teaching and Learning (CITL)Description
The supply chain is the sequence of organizations involved in the production and delivery of products and services. Supply chain management is about working together to manage all aspects of the chain, from the beginning of the chain (information movement) to the end of the chain (physical movement of material), so that market demand is met as efficiently and effectively as possible.
In this video an example is given to illustrate how supply chains work. The example has a manager that must make a decision on delivery alternatives. There are two shippers, A and B. Both offer a two-day rate. In addition, A offers a three-day rate and a nine-day rate, and B offers a four-day rate and a seven-day rate. Three hundred boxes are to be delivered and the freight cost for the whole lot for each option is given in the chart in the video. Which delivery alternative would you recommend?
