ECON 1010 – Macroeconomics 1
Policy Brief Project (40 marks)
1. Overview
We have developed the analytical tools that economists use when discussing policy options
and have discussed its likely impacts on the economy in theory.
In this assignment you take the role of the policy advisors, employed by government
departments or big corporations (your clients are therefore the government and its ministers
and big corporate organisations) to apply those skills and expertise knowledge accumulated
in this course so far.
As an expert’s role in the government /corporation decision making process, your task has
the following two objectives:
Analysis: Experts are responsible for analysing the economic scenario (depicting the likely
impact of the policy on the economy), using the specialised knowledge and the technical
expertise in the discipline.
Communication skills: Experts must communicate their finding and recommendations
effectively to the decision-makers in government – ministers, senior public servants – and
executives of corporations as an independent/third party observer.
This assignment is designed to help you develop the skills of critically interpreting and
analysing macroeconomic data and effectively communicating your findings to the targeted
audience.

Page 2 of 8
There will be three parts to this assignment:
Part A: Diagnostics (macroeconomics data collection and interpretations)
Task: You apply knowledge to the macroeconomics data and present a diagnostic
analysis of the economy. Make important observations and assess the current
situation of the economy; finally, identify if economy is ‘stable’ or showing
any signs of ‘economic downturn’ or any other problem.
Part B: Policy brief report
Task: Based on your ‘Diagnostics’ in Part A, you suggest the ‘Policy
Recommendations’. These recommendations must be backed by proper
justification and rationale. As the last step, communicate everything
(diagnostics, policy recommendations, justification/rationale) effectively to
your client in the form of a policy brief. Policy briefs aim to be practical and
well-researched to make it useful and worthwhile for your clientele.
Part C: Micro-credential (Information Literacy)
Task: You are required to complete the micro-credential (Information Literacy)
which will help enhance your skills in searching for, organising and
interpreting information.
1. Submission
In principle, you need to form a group with a size of TWO(2) students. All group

Ullman, Manly, & Ulysses Corporation
With 75,000 customers worldwide, 250 employees working in four locations in the United States and three European offices, and a catalog of more than 100,000 parts, Ullman, Manly & Ulysses Corporation (UMUC) relies on its network for its survival. In the past decade, UMUC has seen its business grow from just one location and a few local customers to the worldwide supplier it is today. But in the process of growing exponentially, it has overwhelmed its telecommunications network, which is currently managed by an outside telecommunications network management company. The network crashes frequently, resulting in customer service and e-mail interruptions that are costly to the company. The network management company is not responsive to UMUC, a relatively small customer, and often disagrees that there is even a problem. Since the contract with the service provider is about to expire, UMUC has decided to seek a better network solution.
The Chief Information Officer (CIO) has outlined the key requirements for a new network for UMUC. He has explained to the executive board that a new network would have the following characteristics:
1. Availability: Business operations require maximum uptime, and quick repairs when needed.
2. Reliability: The network must function as designed and produce accurate results.
3. Scalability: UMUC continues to grow at a rapid rate, and there are plans for acquisition of several small parts suppliers; the network must support this growth.
4. Security: The confidentiality and integrity of UMUC's data is of great importance, as is the protection of its customers' data.
5. Flexibility: The new network must be responsive to the changing needs of the business.
6. Performance: The network must provide quick access for employees and customers.
7. Manageability: The network must be designed and implemented so that it can be managed by a small team of centrally located IT specialists.
8. Economic efficiency: The ongoing operations and maintenance costs should offset the initial investment costs, reducing the long-term total cost of ownership of the network.
UMUC's executives have agreed that .

Course Information:
In this course we will survey the history of technological developments from the Renaissance to the current day. We will focus on a series of technological objects—machines, tools, and systems—considering them in their broader historical (social, cultural, and political) contexts. Organized chronologically we will trace this history beginning with Leonardo Da Vinci and ending with the International Space Station. This is not, however, a teleological assessment, which assumes a progressive improvement of technology—each age has merits in its own rights.

The document summarizes key findings from a report on occupational fraud. It finds that while asset misappropriation is most common, fraudulent financial statements cause the highest losses. Small businesses are most vulnerable due to lack of audits and controls. Establishing anonymous hotlines is the most effective way to reduce fraud losses, more so than audits. Fraud by executives results in highest losses and is best detected through tips rather than controls.

The Five stages of Change
By Thursday, June 25, 2015, respond to the discussion.
Discussion Question
Anthony is a 27 year old heterosexual Caucasian male. He was arrested 2 weeks ago for his second DWI and is facing a license suspension. He works as a delivery driver for a local store and after disclosing the arrest to his employer, as well as the consequences including loss of his license, he was terminated.
Anthony lives with his girlfriend of 3 years and their 2 year old son. Anthony’s drinking behavior has increased to consumption of a case of beer on Saturday and Sunday evenings each week. He consumes several beers after work during the week “to maintain.” He has also been using methamphetamines, specifically “crystal meth” several times weekly. Anthony’s girlfriend ended their relationship as a result of his increasing substance use and ongoing difficulties. Anthony feels depressed and anxious about his current life situation, especially now that he realizes that he has no job and may be homeless because of his substance use. He is also feeling down about the loss of his relationship. He researched a few outpatient treatment programs to help him stop using both alcohol and methamphetamines, but is ambivalent about entering treatment. Anthony has considered the need to stop using substances to improve his life and relationships with significant others, though fears that he will lose his friends and miss partying with them if he stops. He also fears what life will be like without the comfort of getting high.
Consider and discuss the 5 stages of change. Based upon the information provided discuss what stage Anthony is in, and provide a rationale for your decision. Next, discuss the other stages of change and what indicators we might see as Anthony progresses on through these stages. Your posting must be a minimum of 500 words.

The first step in understanding the behaviors that are associated wi.docxssuser454af01
The first step in understanding the behaviors that are associated with mental disorders is to be able to differentiate the potential symptoms of a mental disorder from the everyday fluctuations or behaviors that we observe. Read the following brief case histories.
Case Study 1:
Bob is a very intelligent, 25-year-old member of a religious organization based on Buddhism. Bob’s working for this organization has caused considerable conflict between him and his parents, who are devout Baptists. Recently, Bob has experienced acute spells of nausea and fatigue that have prevented him from working and have forced him to return home to live with his parents. Various medical tests are being conducted, but as yet, no physical causes for his problems have been found.
Case Study 2:
Mary is a 30-year-old musician who is very dedicated and successful in her work as a teacher in a local high school and as a part-time member of local musical groups. Since her marriage five years ago, which ended in divorce after six months, she has dated very few men. She often worries about her time running out for establishing a good relationship with a man, getting married, and raising a family. Her friends tell her she gets way too anxious around men, and, in general, she needs to relax a little.
Case Study 3:
Jim was vice-president of the freshmen class at a local college and played on the school’s football team. Later that year, he dropped out of these activities and gradually became more and more withdrawn from friends and family. Neglecting to shave and shower, he began to look dirty and unhealthy. He spent most of his time alone in his room and sometimes complained to his parents that he heard voices in the curtains and in the closet. In his sophomore year, he dropped out of school entirely. With increasing anxiety and agitation, he began to worry that the Nazis were plotting to kill his family and kidnap him.
Case Study 4:
Larry, a 37-year-old gay man, has lived for three years with his partner, whom he met in graduate school. Larry works as a psychologist in a large hospital. Although competent in his work, he often feels strained by the pressures of his demanding position. An added source of tension on the job is his not being out with his co-workers, and, thus, he is not able to confide in anyone or talk about his private life. Most of his leisure activities are with good friends who are also part of the local gay community.
For each case, identify the individual's behaviors that seem to be problematic for the patient.
For each case study, explain from the biological, psychological, or socio-cultural perspective your decision-making process for identifying the behaviors that may or may not have been associated with the symptoms of a mental disorder.
Based on your course and text readings, provide an explanation why you would consider some of these cases to exhibit behaviors that may be associated with problems that occur in everyday life, while others could be as.

. Something you do all the time, or something you’ve never done before: bike riding, running, swimming, hiking, golf, playing twister, roller skating, soccer, basketball, etc. Now go and spend at least twenty minutes participating in this activity. Really do it. Engage. Explore and experience it. Pay attention to every part of your body and mind as you play/do the activity. Even if you’ve done it all your life, engage with every nuance of the activity. What do your muscles do and feel like when doing the activity? What is challenging? What is smooth and easy? What sounds to you experience? smells? Tastes? Sights? Sensations? What about your mind? Where do your thoughts go as you perform the activity? Really pay attention and discover the experience of the activity. Perform it for at least twenty minutes, mindfully paying attention to every part of the experience. Experience and notice the details. Now go home. And write about what you experienced. Detail it. Tell me about what was hard, easy, unusual, fun, new? What did you feel, taste, smell, hear, see? Take me through it beat by beat, moment by moment, nuance by nuance.
The second one
Description: Go to a busy café or diner, or some other eatery, where you can sit near TWO other people, engaged in a conversation, a dynamic interesting conversation with tenstion… where something is happening between the two people… EAVES DROP on conversations – without being obvious. Find one that has something interesting going on. Anticipate spending at least 20-30 minutes listening in to this conversation.
From this conversation, listen carefully, pay attention to what is being said, what conflict is arising, what is expressed and revealed through the language. NOW, also pay attention to the people involved. What do they look like? What is their body language? Pay attention to all the details. Do not write anything at the busy café or diner. Just listen to what is said. Watch. Pay attention to all the details.
At a later time (when you get back home)
write a letter as if you are one of the people you observed in the café. Write the letter addressing the person that they were at the café with. This can be a love letter, a complaint, an email, an apology, an explanation, etc… For this exercise to work, you must have 1) chosen a conversation to listen to where something was HAPPENING and 2) you must really have spent the time, listening in on a conversation and paying attention to the dramatic tension… something between the two people must have been witnessed, heard, experienced, by YOU the writer. If not this letter will be flat, uninteresting, and lacking conflict. Write about something you heard or observed happening between the two people, but write about it as if you are one of the people in the conversation to the other. Write about some inherent need, conflict, obstacles. The letter can be a complaint, an apology, a .

The first president that I actually remembered was Jimmy Carter. I do remember as a child Ford being mentioned, but I was certainly not engaged in his presidency. However, I remember Reagan quite well. He came to office after a major financial down turn and his policies did seem to improve things immediately. Some have said that his actions of borrowing money were a hindrance to the future. Do you feel that Reganomics was beneficial to future generations or did he just borrow from the future in order to benefit his present circumstance? Did this set precedence for future presidents to take the nation into debt in order to help their political careers? I look forward to your thoughts?

The final project for this course is the creation of a conceptual mo.docxssuser454af01
The final project for this course is the creation of a conceptual model for an integrated afterschool childhood prevention, education, or intervention program (Boys and Girls Club, for example). The program serves a wide range of age groups (ages 4 through 17) and demographic backgrounds. Students should design a program that can appropriately address the needs of the various learners. This final project should include a program foundation, program description, research proposal, and self-reflection.
The final product represents an authentic demonstration of competency because it requires students to apply classic theory in order to compose an original program based on advanced developmental principles. The project is divided into
four milestones
, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in
Modules Three, Five, Seven, and Ten.
Main Elements
1.
Program Foundation:
a narrative/essay format that will describe the main concept of the program (prevention, education, intervention) and if the program will focus on a specific topic (math, English, drugs, bullying, coping skills for stress or anxiety, peer pressure, or your choice). This foundational narrative will provide citations that link the program concept to at least two of the classical theories presented in this course (Montessori, Piaget, Vygotsky, Bandura, Bronfenbrenner). (approximately 3–4 pages)
·
What type of program will be the focus of this project? Will it be a prevention program to stop kids from using alcohol and drugs? To try and prevent bullying? Will the program be an educational model, for example, a program focused on improving educational outcomes like math, critical thinking, problem solving, science, language skills, or other? Will the program be an intervention model or a program that targets kids for problematic behaviors like truancy, acting out in class, running away, vandalism, minor theft, or underage possession of alcohol or substances?
·
Consider the critical tasks of development as laid out by the chosen theory that may help organize the approaches utilized for each age group.
2.
Program Description
: This section will provide specific descriptions of the elements (tasks, materials, activities) for the each developmental level spanning the age ranges from 4 through 17. These levels should be consistent with at least one of the two classical theories proposed in your program foundation narrative. (approximately 3–4 pages)
·
In what setting will this program be offered, for example, school setting, community center, treatment center, or a faith-based organization?
·
How will your topic differ across each developmental level?
·
How will you describe the activities, materials, and tasks that will take place in the program for each age range?
·
Are the age ranges consistent with at least one of the classic theories employed to guide this.

Assuming the data is correct, which method will most likely provide the most accurate decisions and why?
.
The Final Paper must have depth of scholarship, originality, theoret.docxssuser454af01
The document provides guidelines for a final paper assignment. It states that the paper must be 10-15 pages long, follow APA style guidelines, use 8-10 scholarly sources, and address specific topics related to the future of managed health care delivery systems. These topics include managed health care quality, provider contracting, cost containment, effects on Medicare and Medicaid, the future role of government regulations, and three recommendations for quality changes to Medicare and Medicaid plans. The paper must also include an abstract, introduction, conclusion, and separate reference page.
The Final exam primarily covers the areas of the hydrosphere, the bi.docxssuser454af01
The Final exam primarily covers the areas of the hydrosphere, the biosphere and the lithosphere. As in the Midterm, special attention should be paid to the lecture notes and the PowerPoint files, as well as the Discussion Boards. These sections are dependent on the text and the laboratory exercises, but the discussions and the lecture notes are more conducive to explanation and understanding with a essay-driven format. Additionally, the animated PowerPoints are good at achieving an understanding of processes that are in motion, especially when looking at the lithosphere, giving them more of a 3-dimensional quality.
For this final essay exam you are required to answer all five (5) of the questions. Although there is no set word limit for these essay questions, you will be graded on your knowledge of the material and the detail with which you write your answers. You should take care to cite your sources in APA format and provide full references in a Works Cited list.

Buy-side vs Sell-side eBusinessBuy-side eBusiness refers to
transactions to procure resources needed by an organization
from its suppliers. Sell-side eBusiness refers to transactions
involved with selling products to an organization’s customers.
An eBusiness transaction between organizations can be
considered from two perspectives: sell-side from the perspective
of the selling organization and buy-side from the perspective of
the buying organization.

B2B Infrastructure and
B2B eMarketplaces
Issues for ManagersWhat are the practical risks to the
organization of failure to adequately manage e-commerce
infrastructure?How should staff access to the Internet be
managed?
*
30. What is infrastructure?
According to Chaffey (2007, p. 82):
The architecture of hardware, software, content and data used to
deliver eBusiness services to employees, customers and
partners.
*
Benefits, Problems and ChallengesIn groups, identify problems
with running an organisation with a bad technological
infrastructure.Identify benefits of good technological
infrastructure for organisations.Make a list of the potential
problems for customers of an online retailer
CLASS ACTIVITY
Typical problems involved with infrastructure we
experienceWeb site communications too slow.Web site not
available.Bugs on site through pages being unavailable or
information typed in forms not being executed.Ordered products
not delivered on time.E-mails not replied to.Customers’ privacy
or trust is broken through security problems such as credit cards
being stolen or addresses sold to other companies. Site is not
viewable on mobile
31. *
Benefits of eCommerce infrastructure
Include:
Faster time to market for new products;
Effective communications with partners, suppliers, customers;
Higher revenue growth;
Efficient business processes;
Single point of contact;
Integrated information from separate business units; &
Shared services, applications.
*
*
Challenges of eCommerce infrastructureInclude:
Infrastructure capabilities as a fusion of technology and human
assets;
Standard – does one size fit all?;
Stable services;
Dynamic functionality;
Frequent changes of eBusiness applications; &
In-sourcing or outsourcing infrastructure?
*
32. Infrastructure for B2B eCommerce
Electronic marketplaces need flexible trading relationships
Inter-organisational systems (IOS) require tight system
integration
B2B sector requires a dynamic enabling infrastructure with
specific approaches to different types of strategic initiatives
E-business infrastructure refers to
E-business client/server environment
E-business applications
E-business networking
E-business content hosting
All of the above
*
20
Changing role of IT infrastructureBefore:
Technology driven
Developed in reactive manner, extending and replacing
components as needed,
Fragmented
IT professionals in charge of management and decision making
No public IT infrastructureNow:
33. Viewed as services enhancing and supporting business
performance
BUNDLE OF BENEFITS
Need proactive approach to development
Linked to business strategy
Business managers in charge of decision making
Must consider taking advantage of the emerging industry and
public infrastructure.
*
A five-layer model of e-business infrastructure
eBusiness infrastructure
Further Infrastructure ComponentsArchitectures
indicate how the various applications, information stores and
linkages are mapped into the physical model.Policies
should address such matters as sourcing, standards, audit and
security, contingency plans, service levels.Management
processes and services
include planning and management of facilities, vendor
management, provision of technical support to users.Human
Infrastructure
includes knowledge, skills, and experience
*
34. Internet of ThingsThe Internet of Things is bringing about that
world at a furious pace - very soon over 26 billion devices of all
shapes and sizes will be connected to the Internet.New
Technology Also Means Greater End-to-End Visibility and
Predictive Power
Reroute inventory at will
Consolidate and create efficient shipments
Accommodate painless and profitable returns
Support servicing parts on-demand
Manufacture quick runs of short-lifecycle products
Configure and change orders even in the middle of production
Aggregate data across regions to predict future demand
accurately
*
OmnichannelThe property of being present
everywhere“Connected customers can shop for and purchase the
same items across many different channels, in a retail store, on
their home or laptop computers and perhaps most importantly
on their connected mobile devices which allow them to shop
online for virtually anything, virtually everywhere…”The poster
child for omnichannel has been buy online, pickup in-store.
*
Enterprise Resource Planning SystemsSystems that integrate all
the information flows through a company, given the richness of
such systems in terms of functionality and potential benefits to
the adopting organisations.Essentially:
36. Reasons for adopting an ERP
Checklist before going ERP: EXTRA INFODo your
organisation’s business leaders support the system
implementation?Who are the line-of-business professionals that
can be responsible for measuring the business benefits relevant
to their department’s ERP module?Who will be the ERP project
manager?What are the specific business problems you need to
solve with ERP?What are the goals and metrics that you will
use to measure the business benefits of your organisation’s new
ERP solution?What features and functions do you need from a
new ERP solution that will help increase users’ productivity and
provide access to the business data users most need?Which
modules will you begin rolling out your ERP package?Is the
prospective ERP solution built with service-oriented
architecture (SOA) capabilities?Which users across your
organisation will need to be trained on the new system?Will the
ERP package be able to adapt to changes in your business as
your company grows?
Costs and Benefits
Major investment
Between $50,000 and 100,000,000+
Variety of business justifications
Replace legacy systems
Enable organisational standardisation
Reduce cycle times
Lower operating costs
Enables strategic management decisions (real time)
37. Do we go to the cloud?‘The use of distributed storage and
processing on servers connected by the Internet, typically
provided as software or data storage as a subscription service
provided by other companies’ (Chaffey, 2009, p. 171).Cloud
computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand
network access to a shared pool of configurable computing
resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and
services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with
minimal management effort or service provider interaction
(National Institute of Standards and Technology).Extension of
SaaS, Paas, IaaS, ASP,
SOA.http://www.computerworld.com.au/article/394080/rmit_go

Extras:
SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, Huh?SaaS applications are designed for end-
users, delivered over the web PaaS is the set of tools and
services designed to make coding and deploying those
applications quick and efficient IaaS is the hardware and
software that powers it all – servers, storage, networks,
operating systems

Issues with the cloud
Is it secure? Is it backed up? Is it always available?
Data availability for business continuity
Malware issues
Rogue clouds
*
Choosing an infrastructureFocus on infrastructure investme nts
that
promise clear cost savings
Enable strategic flexibility
Facilitate business agility on appropriate level
Allow fast response to change in the global
marketplaceInfrastructure capabilities should be right for the
firm’s strategy.Market leaders make different choices depending
on their business context.

Business model - Definition
45. Timmers (1999) defines a ‘business model’ as:
An architecture for product, service and information flows,
including a description of the various business actors and their
roles; and a description of the potential benefits for the various
business actors; and a description of the sources of revenue.
*
What is a Business Model?
A method of doing business – how a company generates revenue
to sustain itself
A description of how a business work: its interaction with the
value chain, the business processes, cost structure and revenue
streams
Concentrates on the activities that generate value for the
company, the customers, and the suppliers.
Focuses on the resources required for manufacturing the product
(goods &/or services)

more suppliers Enhanced product comparison , more informed
decision-making
For Sellers (Suppliers):Lower costs Access to new markets,
more customers Greater market shareGreater profitability
Access to market information
*
48. Why do we need Business Models?Changing business
environment
Advanced Technological Capabilities,
Global Connectivity and Reduced Transaction Costs
Issues:
Redefinition of Core Competency and Products
Change in Revenue Models
Change in Relationships: Coopetition Buying (collaboration
between business competitors),
Change in Functional Processes
New Models of Outsourcing
New Models of Customer Interaction
*
*
E-Marketplaces
49. Electronic marketplaces (e-marketplaces or marketspaces),
changed several of the processes used in trading and supply
chains
Greater information richness
Lower information search costs for buyers
Diminished information asymmetry between sellers and buyers
Greater temporal separation between time of purchase and time
of possession
Greater temporal proximity between time of purchase and time
of possession
Ability of buyers and sellers to be in different locations

Collaborative Commerce
7-*
Collaborative Commerce
grid computing
A form of distributed computing that involves coordinating and
sharing computing, application, data, storage, or network
resources across dynamic and geographically dispersed
organizations
service-oriented architecture (SOA)
An architectural concept that defines the use of services to
support a variety of business needs. In SOA, existing IT assets
51. (called services) are reused and reconnected rather than the
more time consuming and costly reinvention of new systems
7-*
Collaborative CommerceRepresentative Examples of E-
Collaboration
Vendor-managed inventory (VMI)
The practice of retailers’ making suppliers responsible for
determining when to order and how much to order
Information sharing between retailers and suppliers
Retailer–supplier collaboration
Lower transportation and inventory costs and reduced stockouts
Reduction of design cycle time
Reduction of product development time
7-*
Collaborative CommerceBarriers to C-Commerce
Most organizations have achieved only moderate levels of
collaboration because of:
A lack of internal integration, standards, and networks
Security and privacy concerns, and distrust over who has access
52. to and control of information stored in a partner’s database
Internal resistance to information sharing and to new
approaches
E.g., Bosch Australia
A lack of internal skills to conduct c-commerce

Introduction to Supply Chain Management
*
Objectives
At the completion of this topic you should be able to:
Discuss a number of the concepts underpinning order
fulfillment, logistics and Supply Chain Management (SCM);
Describe the types of applications and technologies which
enable SCM approaches such as Just-In-Time (JIT) inventory
management;
Outline the benefits and problems which can occur through
SCM;
Discuss the challenges which SCM presents, such as changes in
trading partner relationship/collaboration and the importance of
looking at both internal and external business processes in the
context of SCM; and
Discuss the role of technology in addressing some of these
problems and challenges.
63. Issues for ManagersWhich technologies should we deploy for
supply chain management and how should they be
prioritized?Which elements of the supply chain should be
managed within and beyond the organization and how can
technology be used to facilitate this?

Supply Chain & Supply Chain ManagementThe Supply Chain
consists of the flow of materials, information, and services from
raw material suppliers through factories and warehouses to the
end customers.
64. Supply Chain Management (SCM) involves integration of the
business processes from the end users through to the original
suppliers, that provide products, services and information that
add value for customers

Managing Supply Chains
Managing supply chains can be difficult due to the need to
coordinate:
Several business partners
Several internal corporate departments
Numerous business processes

Two aspects of SCM
Upstream supply chain Transactions between an organization
and its suppliers and intermediaries, equivalent to buy-side e-
commerce.
Downstream supply chain Transactions between an organization
and its customers and intermediaries, equivalent to sell -side e-
commerce.

105. Key Concepts – Order Fulfilment
Order fulfillment: Delivering the right order on time to the
customer
Involves Front and Back Office Operations
Front office operations:
Order taking
Advertisement
Customer Relations Management (CRM)
Back office operations
Accounting
Packaging
Finance
Logistics
Inventory
*
Push vs Pull Supply ChainPush:
Traditional retailing begins with production based on demand
forecasting
Goods are mass produced and placed in inventory
106. Products then move through inventories maintained by
wholesalers/distribution centers before being PUSHED to
customers by being placed on retail store shelves
*
Push and pull approaches to
supply chain management
*
Figure 6.3 Push and pull approaches to supply chain
management
Push vs Pull Supply Chain
Pull:
eCommerce enabled SCM allows operations to begin with an
order being placed (PULLED) by a customer
Information concerning the order is passed back to the retail
distribution centre for replacement from inventory
and as needed back to the manufacturer to initiate manufacture
of replacement items
