You’re a shoe manufacturer and it seems the
manufacturing plants are always over capacity.
However, based on the demand, the capacity
should be sufficient to meet customer demands.
Management suspects that there is a disconnect
between the demand signals being fed to the
manufacturing facilities and actual orders. This is
causing capacity issues leading to customer upsets.
Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper that describes
how the demand and supply integration (DSI)
process can improve the demand signals.
Include the following:

4. • The Ideal picture of demand and supply
integration
• DSI core principles
• Critical components of DSI
• Characteristics of successful DSI
implementations
• DSI recommendations to solve shoe
manufacturer’s issues

You’re a group of purchasing agents who have
been contracted by Small Molecule, a
pharmaceutical distribution reseller. Small
Molecule has identified a gap between purchasing
and logistics. They want to compete in an
emerging market but because of that gap between
purchasing and logistics, they are at a significant
disadvantage in the market. The gap is concerning
because there may not be enough focus to align
purchasing and logistics to execute the launch of a
new product that is outsourced.

6. Apply the “Seven Actions a Supply Chain Leader
Can Take Today” as outlined in Ch. 5 (page 119) to
better align purchasing and logistics as a strategic
advantage.
Explain each step and how they will make a
difference in closing the gap between purchasing
and logistics.
Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper that depicts
each actionable item resulting from going through
all seven steps.

Supply Chain Managers are inundated with
challenges and how we manage those changes can
contribute to either effective or ineffective results
for the company. Returns must be managed with
careful consideration.
You opened a successful ecommerce business that
grosses $1 million in sales, but you now realize
that your returns are larger than you anticipated.
These include warranty returns, product
dissatisfaction returns, customer dissatisfaction
returns, etc. The amount of returns is costing you
20% ($200,000) instead of the 5% projected
($50,000).

10. Prepare an 8- to 12-slide visual presentation with
speaker notes (or produce a video, or narrate your
speaker’s notes instead) in order to solve this
challenge and to be able to control returns to meet
the company’s goals.
Address the following:
• Return management process
• Integrated forward and reverse flows
• The challenge of managing returns
Confirm how these processes will enable you to
meet the 5% returns goal.

After aligning purchasing and logistics, Small
Molecule realized that one of its primary suppliers
is located in Antarctica. The company has realized
there is risk. In the event that you are asked to
manage the identified risks that come from being
located in Antarctica, it is imperative to
understand the network of risk. Even if a supply
chain is fully integrated there are certainly some
risks that may cause supply interruptions.
Prepare an 8- to 12-slide visual presentation with
speaker notes that addresses the how to manage
supply network risks.

12. Create a list of all the possible risks Small Molecule
might encounter to be disruptive to the supply
from the location in Antarctica.
Select one or two risks to focus on to enable supply
continuity.
Recommend how to find a solution by including
the following:
• Detection
• Mitigation
• Recovery
Conclude your presentation with the value of a
network approach to manage disruption.

eliminating barriers.
Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper that defines

Since the team has aligned purchasing and
logistics, and stabilized disruptions in the supply
chain for Small Molecule, the executive leaders are
now interested in capitalizing upon those
improvements. Small Molecule’s new products will
be launched in South America. The executives have
asked the team to come in to explain the processes
already taken. They want help creating a solid
supply chain strategy for their South America
launch considering how to leverage Porter’s Five
Forces.
Prepare a 10- to 15-slide visual presentation for
the executives with speaker notes that explains

16. how Porter’s “Five Forces” are used to develop the
supply chain strategy.
Determine how these Five Forces work together to
evaluate growth potential and develop the overall
strategy.
