This document provides a case study on the supply chain management of Zara, a global clothing retailer. It discusses Zara's vertically integrated supply chain model that allows it to design, manufacture, and distribute new clothing collections within 2 weeks. This rapid replenishment model has contributed greatly to Zara's success. The document also compares Zara's supply chain to those of other retailers like Myer, Dell, and Toyota, noting differences in their approaches to areas like production, inventory management, and responsiveness to customer demands.
This document provides a case study analysis of Zara's agile supply chain. It summarizes that Zara designs over 40,000 items per year but only produces around 10,000 based on feedback from stores. Zara is able to replenish stores twice a week on average due to its efficient supply chain and proximity to factories in Europe. The constant feedback loop between stores and designers allows Zara to quickly adapt to changing fashion trends and demand. Zara's agile supply chain is a key factor in its success competing in the fast fashion industry.
The document discusses Zara's business model and use of technology. Some key points:
1. Zara links customer demand directly to manufacturing and distribution through vertical integration. Designers gather customer data from stores to quickly design and produce new products.
2. Products move from design to stores in just 3 weeks, much faster than competitors. Information technology helps share designs and gather sales data from stores twice weekly.
3. By producing locally and frequently updating stock based on sales, Zara can respond rapidly to fashion trends and consumer demands. This keeps customers returning to stores regularly.
Zara has achieved great success through its vertically integrated supply chain model. It is able to design, produce, and distribute new clothing collections to stores within 2-3 weeks, far faster than competitors' 6-9 month timeline. Key aspects of Zara's supply chain include 200 in-house fashion designers, local fabric sourcing and production, and overnight trucking of products to European stores. This speed and flexibility allows Zara to respond quickly to fashion trends and reduces unsold inventory, contributing to higher profit margins compared to other retailers.
This document summarizes and compares the business models of retailers M&S and ZARA. It discusses their business purposes, customer segments, product offers, supply processes, core competencies, organizational structures, and positioning in the business model matrix. Key takeaways include how ZARA implements a lean supply chain approach and focuses on fast fashion, in contrast to M&S's traditional model.

ZARA Case Study: Role of Supply chain in organizational Successsadia butt
This document discusses the supply chain of Zara, a Spanish clothing retailer known for its fast fashion model. It outlines Zara's vertically integrated supply chain that allows it to design, manufacture, and distribute clothing in as little as 2-3 weeks. Key factors in Zara's supply chain success include vertical integration, use of information technologies to gain customer insights, and shorter lead times enabled by local sourcing and production in small batches.
For ZARA stores to be able to offer cutting edge fashion at affordable prices requires the firm to exert a strong influence over almost the entire garment supply chain.

It provides details on Zara's vertically integrated supply chain model, which allows it to bring designs to stores in just 2-3 weeks compared to the industry average of 6-9 months. Key aspects of Zara's supply chain include local sourcing, fast production times, mass customization, and using IT to share information. This vertical integration model helps Zara increase revenue through more fashionable and scarce products, while decreasing costs through factors like lower transportation and inventory costs.
Zara has pioneered the fast fashion market with a vertically integrated supply chain allowing new designs from conception to stores in just three weeks. It relies on an outdated DOS-based point-of-sale system with no network between stores. In 2003, the CEO must decide whether to upgrade the system and risk reliability issues or continue with the outdated system unable to support future growth. A cost-benefit analysis shows upgrading all 531 stores would cost over 8 million euros but still result in a net margin above industry average, so the CEO should approve the upgrade.

Case study - Zara International Retail ExpansionNeha Randhawa
Zara is considering expanding internationally and must decide which new market to enter. It is analyzing entering the Chinese market starting with Shanghai. China represents a large opportunity due to its growing population and rising disposable incomes. Fast fashion is popular in China and production costs are lower there and in Bangladesh where Zara could source garments. The recommendation is for Zara to set up a joint venture in Shanghai, use an "oil stain" approach to expansion, source from Bangladesh, and establish a new distribution center in China to enable its expansion in Asia over three years.
This document provides information about Zara's supply chain management practices. It discusses how Zara was founded and expanded globally. It then describes Zara's fast fashion strategy and how they are able to introduce new designs quickly through vertical integration.

And the second question critically evaluates the most effective of these supply chain strategies followed.
The strategies of H&M are different from ZARA’s and Benetton supply chain strategies. The later two companies have the automated systems of distribution that connected together the designing and manufacturing plants spread all over the world. ZARA’s is following the most efficient supply chain strategy because the designing is the most crucial phase of the whole manufacturing of garments business. The designing is prototyped and confirmed for its acceptance in society by market specialists before it is launched in the market. The manufacturing is specialised and performed by highly skilled people.

Zara is expanding its global market by decentralizing operations and intensifying its franchise model. It plans to enhance operations through a new operating model that includes localized plants and logistics in Vietnam and future locations to access lower costs and trends. Maintaining cultural values and open communication will be important as the franchise model is reinforced in new Asian markets.
Zara started as a small company making women's clothing in Spain in 1963. In 1975, after a cancelled order, Zara opened its first retail store to sell excess inventory, learning the importance of integrating manufacturing and retail. Since then, Zara has grown to over 1750 stores worldwide selling affordable yet stylish clothing. Zara's success is due to its unique fashion designs, real-world prices, and collaborative digital networks linking it to suppliers and customers. It can develop new products and get them to stores within just two weeks, launching around 10,000 designs annually.
Zara is implementing a new system to increase logistics efficiency and reduce costs while maintaining quick response capabilities. Trendy items will continue to be manufactured in-house in Spain to allow for quick response and delivery. Basic items will be outsourced to locations like Vietnam to reduce costs. A third distribution branch will open in Mexico to improve distribution, outsourcing, and retail coverage in North and South America.
Zara is a Spanish brand of clothing founded by the visionary Amancio Gaona and Rosalina Mera at 1975. It is one of the major selling brands of one of the biggest fashion retailer ‘INDITEX’. Zara is now available in 86 countries with total of 1,763 stores worldwide. In 1975 INDITEX established Zara’s 1st store in downtown A Coruna, Spain. Zara offers fashionable designs for men, women, and kids.
1) Zara has developed a super-responsive supply chain that can design, produce, and deliver new garments to stores worldwide in just 15 days.
2) Zara's supply chain success is built on three principles - closing the communication loop between all parts of the chain, sticking to a regular rhythm across design, production, and distribution, and leveraging owned capital assets to increase flexibility.
3) These principles reinforce each other to optimize the entire supply chain and allow Zara to sustain a fast fashion model that keeps customers engaged with frequent new deliveries to stores.
Zara is a Spanish clothing retailer known for its rapid 2-week production cycle and frequent new designs. It operates integrated supply chains to develop 10,000 new products annually. Zara designs most products in-house and manufactures half itself using nearby factories, with the rest outsourced to European and some Asian suppliers. Zara's design, production, distribution and store teams work closely together to quickly translate sales data into new production runs, allowing frequent updates to match changing fashion trends.
- Inditex is one of the largest fashion retailers in the world with over 6,700 stores globally. It has strong brand recognition for its Zara brand but lacks awareness in some markets like Asia and America.
- While Inditex has many strengths like its rapid fashion business model and strong financial performance, it faces threats from changing consumer preferences towards cheaper fashion and declining fast fashion trends. It is also over-reliant on European markets.
- The recommendations suggest Inditex focus on expanding its online presence, increase advertising, and further penetrate markets in Asia and America to drive future growth.
Zara is the largest and most international clothing chain owned by Spanish company Inditex. Founded in 1975 in La Coruna, Spain by Amancio Ortega, Zara pioneered a business model of fast fashion with medium quality clothing at affordable prices. By the early 1980s, Ortega formulated a new just-in-time design and distribution model that allowed Zara to become highly internationalized with over 500 stores globally by 2001.

1) Porter's five forces analysis finds the global apparel industry has medium threat of new entrants due to modest growth and low capital requirements, but high bargaining power of customers and suppliers who face few switching costs. Rivalry is also high due to frequent price changes and ease of switching brands.
2) Zara's value chain emphasizes rapid design, production, and distribution through internal suppliers and owned factories. New collections are delivered to stores every two weeks to quickly reflect changing fashion trends. Marketing relies on brand reputation and store displays rather than advertising.
3) Zara's infrastructure allows for fast global coordination between managers, designers, and suppliers. Over half of its 60,000 young, female workforce is based
How Zara Spent $0 in Advertising To Become The World's #1 Fashion RetailerNitant Narang
Unlike competing brands, Zara does no advertising, it scarcely appears on billboards; its collections do not figure in fashion shows; neither does it lobby for Vogue’s glossy pages, nor does it associate itself with any celebrities or high-profile fashion designers. Yet, despite bending every rule and defying all the conventions within the fashion industry, Zara, with a revenue of $15.9 Billion (2016) and 2,100 stores across the world, is one of the most valuable companies in the world.

Zara has a highly responsive supply chain that allows it to bring new fashion designs to stores every two weeks, compared to competitors who do so every two to three months. Zara carries 11,000 distinct items per year across thousands of stores globally, while competitors carry 2,000 to 4,000 items. Central to Zara's supply chain success is its distribution center called "The Cube", where designers quickly create new items based on trend scouting and existing items can be modified within two weeks. Zara's frequent ordering cycles and short production lead times enable it to offer more styles that often sell out quickly, driving higher full-price sales and lower unsold inventory compared to competitors.

Zara has been able to achieve competitive advantage and sustained profits above industry averages through its business model and vertical integration. It can design, produce, and deliver new fashion items to stores within 2-3 weeks, much faster than competitors. This speed and flexibility allows Zara to stay responsive to the latest trends. Its organizational structure with store manager autonomy and technological integration of feedback also enables rapid design adaptation. While imitable, Zara's full business model would be difficult for competitors to copy due to the costs and time required to develop comparable integration, culture, and processes.
Zara is a highly successful fashion retailer known for its fast fashion model. It introduces new designs two weeks after seeing them on runways rather than the industry standard of six months. Zara achieves this through an integrated operation strategy that allows for quick design, production, and distribution. Stores provide immediate customer feedback that designers use to create new items. Factories located in Spain enable rapid production to meet changing demand. An efficient supply chain distributes goods to stores within 24 hours in Europe. This strategy of speed, affordability, and variety has made Zara one of the world's largest clothing retailers.

Zara is a Spanish clothing retailer known for its fast fashion model. It operates 1700 stores globally and launches around 12,000 new designs per year. Zara achieves fast inventory turnover through a vertically integrated supply chain that designs, manufactures, and distributes products to stores within 2-3 weeks. Fifty percent of products are made in Spain to facilitate rapid replenishment of stores with new designs twice per week. Zara's supply chain model allows it to stay on the cutting edge of fashion trends at affordable prices.
Zara has built a highly efficient supply chain and logistics system that allows it to bring new fashion designs from concept to stores in just 2 weeks. It uses a vertically integrated model where designs are created based on data from stores. Approved designs are quickly manufactured in nearby factories before being shipped to stores twice per week. Zara is proposing to expand this efficient model to the US by opening local distribution centers to manufacture and distribute to North American stores within 24 hours, reducing shipping costs and improving fashionability for American customers. While outsourcing logistics could improve efficiency, it risks losing control over their specialized system which is key to Zara's success.
This document provides an overview of Zara's value chain management strategies. It discusses how Zara achieves vertical integration from sourcing materials to manufacturing 60% of products in-house. Zara's "fast fashion" model allows it to adapt designs, produce, distribute, and stock new clothing in stores within 2 weeks. Through just-in-time production, inventory management that eliminates deadstock, and a centralized logistics network, Zara is able to respond rapidly to fashion trends. Its strengths include a fast delivery cycle, brand image, low-cost supply chain, and ability to capture trends.
Zara is a leading fashion company known for its rapid response to trends. It releases new designs every two weeks based on feedback from stores. Zara's 300 designers work with suppliers to design around 11,000 items per year. Unlike competitors, Zara produces around 40% of items in its own factories to allow for quick changes. This rapid production and response to customer preferences has given Zara a competitive advantage over companies that take 6 months to design and produce new items.
This document provides contact information for an educational services company and includes sample assignments from various business courses. The assignments cover topics such as business communication, economics, corporate social responsibility, information systems, management, and human resources. Students are encouraged to contact the company for help completing their assignments.
Zara has become extremely successful due to its responsive supply chain management. It can design, produce, and distribute new fashion items to its stores within 2 weeks, allowing it to stay on top of changing fashion trends. Zara's vertically integrated supply chain with in-house production facilities near headquarters allows it to quickly make changes to designs based on customer demand feedback collected by store managers. This fast production cycle, along with twice-weekly deliveries to stores, means customers always find new inventory that reflects the latest trends, fueling Zara's success.
Zara's value chain analysis revealed opportunities to improve its supply chain processes. Zara manufactures many of its products internally but relies on external suppliers in Europe and other low-cost markets. While Zara's distribution system is centralized and efficient, delivering products to stores within 48 hours, longer shipping times internationally could be addressed. Customer feedback directly influences new product designs, though analyzing point-of-sale data from stores across different markets could provide additional insights. Suggested improvements include optimizing the international supply chain and leveraging customer data analytics to better meet customer needs globally.

Zara International: Fashion at the Speed of Light
Zara’s parent company Inditex is known for year-on-year strong sales gains. Low prices and a rapid response to fashion trends
have pushed it into the top ranks of global clothing vendors. The chain specialises in lightning-quick turnarounds of the latest
designer trends at prices tailored to the young—about $27 an item. Louis Vuitton fashion director Daniel Piette has described
Zara as “possibly the most innovative and devastating retailer in the world.”
Inditex shortens the time from order to arrival using a complex system of just-in-time production and inventory management that
keeps Zara ahead of the competition. Its distribution centres can have items in European stores within 24 hours of receiving an
order, and in North American and Asian stores in under 48 hours. “They’re a fantastic case study in terms of how they manage
to get product to their stores so quick,” said Stacey Cartwright, executive vice president and CFO of Burberry Group PLC. “We
are mindful of their techniques.”
The firm carefully controls design, production, distribution, and retail sales to optimise the flow of goods, without having to share
profits with wholesalers or intermediary partners. Customers win with access to new fashions while they are still fresh off the
runway. Twice a week Zara’s finished garments are shipped to physical distribution centres that all simultaneously distribute
products to stores worldwide. These small production batches help the company avoid the risk of oversupply. Because batches
always contain new products, Zara’s stores perpetually energize their inventories. Most clothing lines are not replenished.
Instead, they are replaced with new designs to create scarcity value—shoppers cannot be sure that designs in stores one day

Store managers track sales data with handheld devices. They can reorder hot items in less than an hour. This lets Zara knows
what is selling and what is not. When a look does not pan out, designers promptly put together new products. New arrivals are
rushed to store sales floors still on the black plastic hangers used in shipping. Shoppers who are in the know recognise these
designs as the newest of the new; soon after, any items left over are rotated to Zara’s standard wood hangers.

Information Technology(IT)
In side the factories,, relatively simple applications were used to plan production.
Most sophisticated ones were large computer controlled equipment that cut cloth into patterns.
Factories
Automated distribution centres e.g miles of automated conveyer belts facilitated the ongoing task of receiving bulk quantities of each garment from factories then recombining the garments into shipment for each store.
Distribution centres
Personal digital assistants(PDAs) and POS systems. Allows redundancy and division of labor.
Constantly upgrades PDAs to meet technological advancement.
POS terminals remained unchanged since they are remarkably stable, effective and easy to roll out and maintain over time.
stores
Zara leads in the profit margins and growth rate due to unique business model within the industry.

Inventory Management of a Fast-Fashion Retail NetworkHadi Sharifi
This document summarizes an operations research study conducted in collaboration with the fast-fashion retailer Zara. The study addresses the problem of distributing a limited inventory across Zara's large retail network over time. The researchers developed an optimization model that uses demand forecasts and inventory data to determine optimal weekly shipment quantities from the warehouse to each store, with the goal of maximizing overall predicted sales. A pilot implementation found that using the new optimization-based allocation process increased sales by 3-4% compared to Zara's previous process, and also reduced inventory transfers between stores. Zara is now using the new process for inventory allocation worldwide.
Zara uses an agile supply chain model that allows it to respond quickly to fashion trends. It has in-house designers that create over 40,000 designs per year, with only 10,000 selected for production. More than 50% of its production is in Europe, not Asia, to shorten lead times. Zara is able to expand sales and profits over 20% annually due to frequent new designs, minimal markdowns, and an efficient supply chain that takes only 2 weeks to deliver new designs to stores. Procurement plays a critical role through supplier selection, product decision making, and strategic buying that allows Zara to compete on time to market with minimal inventory.
Zara has developed a highly responsive supply chain that enables it to deliver new fashion items to stores within 2 weeks. This allows Zara to respond rapidly to emerging trends. Key aspects of Zara's supply chain include closing the communication loop between customers and designers, maintaining a consistent rhythm across the entire chain, and leveraging its production and distribution facilities for flexibility. While very effective for Zara, its model may not work for all retailers as it relies on Zara's expertise in fast fashion and ability to quickly change products based on customer feedback.
Zara is a Spanish fashion retailer known for its rapid two-week production process and frequent store replenishments. It gains several advantages over competitors by having a very responsive supply chain, including introducing new designs weekly, reducing inventory costs and forecast errors, and selling most products at full price. Zara sources uncertain demand products locally for speed and predictable demand products from Asia for lower costs. Its centralized distribution network and multiple weekly store replenishments allow it to quickly match changing fashion trends, though this model may be less suited to online sales than retail.

Now the Earth has had wide variations in atmospheric CO2-level throu.docxhoney725342
Now the Earth has had wide variations in atmospheric CO2-level throughout its long history before the evolution of humans and certainly before the Industrial Revolutions.In terms of the oceans and the Earth's whole history then could you find information to support the coal and oil industry's claims that we're NOT the cause of climate change? Do some research and cite other factors in climate besides CO2 levels that would support your claims. Also read the attached article about the controversy. Remember too that there is a lot of money and certainly politics involved in this issue. Some scientists have built their whole careers on trying to prove or disprove the human connections to global warming.
As you'll see when you do your research the figures for sea-level rise are all over the place. That's because they're based on models that are even more complex than hurricane tracking models (they drive even supercomputers nuts).
Now the term
"sea-level"
is relative. If you check a geologic map you'll see that just about every piece of land on Earth has been underwater at least once. That's why sedimentary rocks are the most common type of land surface rock. Sea-level has been up and down thousands of times in the Earth's long history. We're just living on the "latest edition" of our planet. Also the one thing that I want everybody to learn from this course: we live on the Earth and we certainly affect it but
we
DO NOT control it
even though we like to think we do. We're just riding this wet rock through space.
As for the continuing scientific controversy check out this recent article:

NR224 Fundamentals SkillsTopic Safety Goals BOOK P.docxhoney725342
This document discusses a nursing fundamentals skills assignment on safety goals. The assignment introduces students to the National Patient Safety Goals developed by The Joint Commission, specifically the Speak Up Initiatives program, which is designed to empower patients to take an active role in their own healthcare safety by speaking up about concerns. The document provides guidelines for the assignment and references a nursing fundamentals textbook for further information.
Clinical mentors were interviewed about their experiences mentoring culturally and linguistically diverse nursing students. Mentors stated that empathy motivated them but they experienced a lack of support which caused strain. While mentors initially had fears of unknown cultures, positive mentoring experiences reduced this fear. Continuous education on intercultural communication could help mentors develop expertise to benefit students, patients, and staff.
Now that you’ve seen all of the elements contributing to the Devil’s.docxhoney725342
Now that you’ve seen all of the elements contributing to the Devil’s Canyon enterprise architecture, Justin wants to move forward with developing privacy policies to ensure videos aren’t distributed or uploaded to the net without the consent of the people in them. This opens a much larger conversation: Devil’s Canyon is also in need of a complete security plan, as well as risk assessments.
In a 2- to 3-page rationale and table,
prepare
the following information to present to the Devil’s Canyon team:
Explain the relationship between policies and security plans. Identify potential policy needs, noting Justin’s privacy policy, in relation to the Devil’s Canyon enterprise structure.
Outline the importance of a security plan in relation to security roles and safeguards.
Analyze at least 5 security-related risks/threats that Devil’s Canyon may face.
Assess the probability and impact to the Devil’s Canyon if each risk occurs. Based on these two factors, determine the overall risk level. For purposes of this assignment, evaluate and categorize each factor as low, medium, or high, and create a table to illustrate the risks. For example, a risk/threat with a low likelihood of occurrence and a high impact would represent an overall medium risk.
Consider digital elements mentioned in the designing of the enterprise architecture, such as software, hardware, proposed security measures, smart lift tickets, web cam systems, and smartphones.

Professional Development Goals
The first thing that should be noted is that psych nursing is a recent academic option, which is highly relevant that more people are trained in it and help to broaden and deepen the scientific foundation of the care it offers. Although the psych nurses are already able to carry out different activities without the need for another health professional to indicate them, it is important that they can acquire greater independence so that their contribution is even greater, which is my first professional development goal. Therefore, the degree in psych nursing must be strengthened, with studies and evidence that allow the framework of the work of those who practice it to grow and, in turn, encourage its professionals to intervene promptly to avoid complicating the medical situation of a patient.
I would like to be supportive, have a vocation for service, be responsible, and be organized. It is these basic qualities that will allow me to develop a nursing career. The organization and responsibility would be oriented there because the nurse, by nat.

Nur-501-AP4- Philosophical and Theoretical Evidence-Based research.docxhoney725342
Nur-501-AP4- Philosophical and Theoretical Evidence-Based research
Watson’s philosophy and science of caring has four major concepts: human being, health, environment/society, and nursing Butts & Rich, 2015). In Watson’s view, the disease might be cured, but illness would remain because, without caring, health is not attained. Caring is the essence of nursing and connotes responsiveness between the nurse and the person; the nurse co-participates with the person. Watson contends that caring can assist the person to gain control, become knowledgeable, and promote health changes.
According to Watson (2009), the core of the Theory of Caring is that “humans cannot be treated as objects and that humans cannot be separated from self, other, nature, and the larger workforce.” Her theory encompasses the whole world of nursing; with the emphasis placed on the interpersonal process between the caregiver and care recipient. The theory is focused on “the centrality of human caring and on the caring-to-caring transpersonal relationship and its healing potential for both the one who is caring and the one who is being cared for” (Watson, 2009). The structure for the science of caring is built upon ten carative factors. Among them are human altruistic values, faith-hope, sensitivity to one’s self or other, trust, human caring relationship, and promotion of self-expression (.
Watson defines Human being as a valued person to be cared for, respected, nurtured, understood, and assisted, in general a philosophical view of a person as a fully functional integrated self. Personhood is viewed as greater than and different from the sum of his or her parts which are mind-body-soul-connection (Butt & Rich 2015)
The personhood concept in Watson theory of caring implies that patients are not all the same. Each person brings a unique background of experiences, values, and cultural perspective to health care encounter. Caring facilitates a nurse’s ability to know a patient, allowing the nurse to recognize a patient’s problem and find and implement individualized solution on the patient’s unique needs.
Knowing the person allows the nurse to avoid assumptions, to center on the one cared for (Keller, 2013). It also gives the nurse to opportunity to assess thoroughly by seeking clues to clarify the issue that the individual is going through.
The concept of personhood also integrates the human caring processes with healing environment, incorporating the life-generating and life receiving processes of human caring and healing for nurses and their patient. The concept put emphasis on developing a caring relationship with the person as a nurse and listen to the person’ stories to fully understand the meaning an impact of the individual’s condition. This information and understanding helps in the development and delivery of individualized patient centered care. The transpersonal caring theory rejects disease orientation to health care and places care before cure. When the .

Abstract
With obesity affecting approximately 12.5 million American youth,
population-level interventions are indicated to help support healthy
behaviors. The purpose of this review is to provide a summary of
population-level intervention strategies and specific intervention exam-
ples that illustrate ways to help prevent and control obesity in children
through improving nutrition and physical activity behaviors. Informa-
tion is summarized within the settings where children live, learn, and
play (early care and education, school, community, health care, home).
Intervention strategies are activities or changes intended to promote
healthful behaviors in children. They were identified from (a) systematic
reviews; (b) evidence- and expert consensus–based recommendations,
guidelines, or standards from nongovernmental or federal agencies;
and finally (c) peer-reviewed synthesis reviews. Intervention examples
illustrate how at least one of the strategies was used in a particular
setting. To identify interventions examples, we considered (a) peer-
reviewed literature as well as (b) additional sources with research-tested
and practice-based initiatives. Researchers and practitioners may use
this review as they set priorities and promote integration across settings
and to find research- and practice-tested intervention examples that can
be replicated in their communities for childhood obesity prevention.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

1. BBA311 SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT Case Study
Task brief & rubrics
Task
Students are required to develop an individual report addressing
the specific tasks set out in the guideline below.
Task briefing:
CASE STUDY CONCEPT: Zara’s Unique Business Model is
Driven by Its Supply Chain Capabilities.
Zara changes its clothing designs every two weeks on average,
while competitors change their designs every two or three
months. It carries about 11,000 distinct
items per year in thousands of stores worldwide compared to
competitors that carry 2,000 to 4,000 items per year in their
stores. Zara’s highly responsive supply
chain is central to its business success. The heart of the
company and its supply chain is a huge, highly automated
distribution center (DC) called “The Cube”.
Company Business Model
Agents for the company are always scouting out new fashion
trends at clubs and social gatherings. When they see inspiring
examples, they quickly send design
sketches to the garment designers at the Cube. New items can be
designed and out to the stores in 4 – 6 weeks, and existing items
can be modified in 2 weeks.
2. Zara has 12 inventory turns per year compared to 3 – 4 per year
for competitors. Stores place orders twice a week and this
drives factory scheduling. Such short-
term focused order cycles make forecasts very accurate, much
more accurate than competitors who may order every two weeks
or every month.
Clothing items are priced based on market demand, not on cost
of manufacture. The short lead times for delivery of unique
fashion items combined with short
production runs enable Zara to offer customers more styles and
choices, and yet still create a sense of urgency to buy becaus e
items often sell out quickly. And
that particular item or style may not be available again after it
sells out. Zara sells 85 percent of its items at full price
compared to the industry average of sell ing
only 60 percent of items at full price. Annually there is 10
percent of inventory unsold compared to industry averages of 17
– 20 percent.
Manufacturing and Supply Chain Operations Make Zara Unique
in Its Industry
Zara buys large quantities of only a few types of fabric (just
four or five types, but they can change from year to year), and
does the garment design and related
cutting and dyeing in-house. This way fabric manufacturers can
make quick deliveries of bulk quantities of fabric directly to the
Zara DC – the Cube. The company
purchases raw fabric from suppliers in Italy, Spain, Portugal
and Greece. And those suppliers deliver within 5 days of orders
being placed. Inbound logistics from
suppliers are mostly by truck.
3. Zara can deliver garments to stores worldwide in just a few
days: China – 48 hrs; Europe – 24 hrs; Japan – 72 hrs; United
States – 48 hrs. It uses trucks to deliver
to stores in Europe and uses air freight to ship clothes to other
markets. Zara can afford this increased shipping cost becau se it
does not need to do much
discounting of clothes and it also does not spend much money
on advertising.
An Agile Supply Chain
Stores take deliveries twice per week, and they can get ordered
inventory often within two days after placing their orders. I
tems are shipped and arrive at stores
already on hangers and with tags and prices on them. So items
come off delivery trucks and go directly onto the sales floor.
This makes it possible for store
managers to order and receive the products customers want
when they want them, week by week.
Zara stores respond practically in real-time as styles and
customer preferences evolve. It is a great business model for
success in the high-change and hard to
predict fashion industry. It means about half of the clothing the
company sells, which includes most of its high margin and
unique fashion items (but not its lower
margin basic items), is manufactured based on highly accurate,
short-term (2 – 6 week) demand forecasts.
A fast-moving and finely tuned supply chain like Zara’s
requires constant attention to keep it running smoothly. Supply
chain planners and managers are always
watching customer demand and making adjustments to
manufacturing and supply chain operations.
4. Zara is a clothing and fashion retailer that uses its supply chain
to significantly change the way it operates in a very traditional
industry. No other competitor can
copy its business model until it first copies its supply chain.
And since supply chains are composed of people, process, and
technology, even the latest and greatest
technology is not a competitive advantage all by itself. People
must be well trained, and processes must be put in place that
enable people to apply their training
and their technology to best effect.
CREATE A FINAL REPORT showing Zara’s supply chain
model and describing the supply chain challenges you
encountered. Explain why successful solutions to
those challenges provides such a competitive advantage for
Zara:
• Explain the supply chain principles and best practices to solve
the challenges that Zara encountered. What were the biggest
challenges and how did Zare
solve them?
• Identify places in Zara’s supply chain model (facilities,
vehicles and routes) where they used new technologies. How do
these technologies produce the
performance capabilities that Zara shows in their results?
• Show how a supply chain with these capabilities makes it
possible for Zara to use its fast fashion business model. If Zara
co mpetitors were to emulate
Zara’s business model, what supply chain capabilities would
they need?
• What can Zara do to lower the carbon footprint of the supply
5. chain and being more sustainable?
