Strategic Logistics Report

FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT

www.iscom374aid.com

Your Learning Team represents a newly formed logistics

department for a start-up bottled water company located in

Denver, CO. The company president was hesitant to create your

department due to a lack of understanding of its purpose,

advantages, and strategic placement within the organization.

The president once rejected the concept of supply chain

management as unnecessary saying, "What would a logistics

department do for us? Don't we already have all

the departments we need?" The operations director wants a

report

that explains the role and purpose of logistics within a typical

organization.

Prepare a 1,050 to 1,400 word business report that examines

the relationships between logistics and other business functions

that are both internal and external to the organization.

Include an explanation of the implications of geographical

location and channel strategy. Recognize that these implications

will develop the foundation for how your department will

structure an overall logistics program.

Include a flow chart or similar diagram (as an appendix) to

depict these relationships. Recognize that the operations

director will use your documents to justify the new logistics

department to the company president.

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines .

the United States. The company has decided to go global

targeting Canada, Mexico, and China. Currently, you have

central warehouse sites in three distinct domestic regions

(Eastern, Central, and Western). You have awarded supply

organizations. None of your current partners has the ability to

deliver outside of the United States. They are, however, able to

deliver to key border cities.

which will be used to discuss and examine the advantages and

disadvantages of becoming a global enterprise. Include the

following in your report:

A brief overview describing the current logistics network given

in this scenario and how your team would transition that

network to a global supply chain. Be creative and design both

the current and future networks as your team wishes to

maximize the logistics efficiencies available.

An analysis on the ethical and legal considerations in logistics

management, both within the domestic United States and

internationally

An analysis on the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on the

supply chain given global distribution

Identification, and further examination, of the importance of

cultural considerations when negotiating supply chain contracts

in a global environment.
