    Hcs 490 Week 4 Case Study Comparison Paper

    In reviewing the case study of a thirty-year-old mother with four young children we can expect her annual costs for health care services to be exponential, and unfortunately health care costs are continually rising. Although this mother does not have any special health problems or any special health concerns for her children, there are many variables to account for on a yearly basis. It is important that she chooses the best health care option for her, and her family that isn 't going to become an imposition. This family has many options to consider, and many benefits that they can consider, in order to assure that health care does not become a burden, rather than an asset to keeping her family healthy.…

    Case Analysis - Bp America, Inc.

    The Angelo-Persian Oil Company was formed in 1909 by a wealthy Englishman named William Knox D’Arcy. It did not operate under the British Petroleum (BP) name until 1954. In early 1959, BP discovered hydrocarbons under the North Sea and Alaska, and found the West Sole gas field in 1965 which was the first oil exploration success in British waters. In 1969, BP discovered major oil deposits in Prudhoe Bay on the North Slope of Alaska. The refining and marketing of the Prudhoe Bay oil fields was handled by Standard Oil Company of Ohio, which also took over BP’s leases at Prudhoe Bay in exchange for 25% of Standard Oil’s equity. The North Alaskan oil supply was made available through the 800 miles of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System in 1977.…

    Sports Obermeyer Case Analysis Essay Example

    PPROBLEM STATEMENT: The Company is faced with significant problems in the following areas: Management strategies ( how relationships between the parent companies should be managed, whether by mere intuition or by data and information sharing that would be protected through strategic partnership); Extended product development lead times( it takes the company an extended amount of time, from when 80% of its orders were received in Vegas, to when the products were actually completed and shipped to Seattle. This delay creates an incredible variation in the demand process. This delay also creates excessive inventory which caused retailers to mark down products and Obermeyer to sell large shipment of containers of garments well below manufacturing cost); Supply chain problems ( lack of information sharing between the various components of the supply chain, for instance sales information between retail outlets, Obermeyer and Obersport as well as the two major suppliers in China and Hong Kong. Inability to enter into a collaborative partnership with supplier’s thereby creating a forecasting problem at the production level. Though…

    Compare and contrast the supply chain management approaches take by H&M, Benetton and Zara

    H&M, Benetton and Zara are all garment retailers. Key stages in their supply chains that I will discuss are product design, manufacturing, distribution and retail. Zara and H&M are so called "fast fashion" providers. Their clothes do not have to be of an exceptional quality as the most important factor is to quickly deliver catwalk design to high street customers at an affordable price (Slack et al., 2007). Benetton clothes are of better quality and higher prices but they are at the same time less fashionable and not as trendy. Despite these differences in the target markets, all three companies operate in a very similar environment and all offer innovative products with a life cycle that is very short. Therefore, they need a responsive supply chain that will respond with flexibility to the uncertainties of the environment in which the three companies operate (Fisher, 1997). These uncertainties can be avoided by decreasing lead times, increasing a chain's flexibility or allowing excessive inventories and lower capacity utilisation Fisher, 1997). The later, though, require great capital and leads to high costs. How do the companies balance these factors? In order to answer this question I will follow the…

    The apparel trade of the world was expected to change significantly in 2005, when textile quotas were to be phased out. For most Pakistani suppliers, the challenge was to stay competitive despite the expected inroads by countries, especially China, supplying less expensive apparel. In order to move from a mere price based competitive advantage, MTM initiated projects to add value to its important customers overseas. Based on its extensive experience in IT based management of materials, MTM launched a Direct-to-Store (DTS) business service to delight its customers by reducing the lead times and logistics management worries.…
