CASE QUESTIONS
1. What factors help to explain why J&J historically had as many as 12 distribution centers in Europe?
· In the past, Johnson & Johnson had as many as 12 distribution centers in Europe. This was because they focused on meeting their European customers' needs and service expectations. The company emphasizes keeping a high level of service by giving customers one-day and two-day delivery. It also cuts down on time it takes to place an order and get a shipment to its destination.
2. What steps in the supply chain network design process discussed in this chapter would have been most relevant to the task faced by J&J in Europe?
These steps would have helped J&J make a good design for its supply chain network.
1. Business development and resource allocation: They can look at business data and determine what resources will be needed and how to get them and use them on time. This includes finding out what customers want and taking environmental factors into account. So, to grow their business, they need to hire more people, analyze data, and set goals. Once this is done, they can start building a team and figuring out their plans.
2. Network optimization software can help them reduce the number of distribution centers. They can also plan an audit of their supply chain, which wallow help them find places to cut costs.
3. Model baseline scenario
As is—simulate transportation in and out, build and simulate business scenarios, create an econometric financial model, and develop assumptions and constraints for the infrastructure.
4. Coming up with a plan
Defining the main scenario to be evaluated, simulating inventory assets by plan, representing operating, capital, and one-time expenses, developing a financial model by design, and addressing IT, tax, incentive, legal, and infrastructure issues. Develop a plan for transition and implementation, including a timeline, resources, funds, structure, limitations, partners, stakeholders, and a communication strategy.
3. Are there other factors that the network optimization study should have considered?
· Essential things to consider are how close you are to your customers and how much money it will cost you to get there from where you are right now. These are the factors that are most important to consider. These are the two aspects that constitute the most important aspects to take into consideration. Because the frameworks have already been established, every phase that is still to come may have already been planned out. The corporation has significant data about the costs associated with the land and the utilities. In addition to the information it possesses regarding the labor market and the supplier network, this is another area in which it excels. The company will only need to make modifications to the components of the logistics network that are the mos.

1. Denver Planning and Development Report
Curating the topics driving Denver’s growth
Denver Industrial Market Reflects
Strong Regional Economy
by Jeffrey B. Samet, Real Estate Advisory Services
Denver’s enviable employment and population growth is
reflected in its strong industrial market. Cushman & Wake-
field reported a low 3.9% vacancy rate for the third quarter,
bolstered by 164,000 square feet of absorption. To further
emphasize market dynamism, Amazon entered the market by
leasing 452,000 square feet in Majestic Commercenter for a
package sorting center.
Amazon’s customer-centric model of price, experience,
convenience, and selection translates into being able to
eventually provide one day service to the country’s 50 largest
cities. That, in turn, is forcing competitors to determine how
to adjust their supply chains to provide comparable levels of
service, customer experience, and choice.
Supply chain thought leader, Jim Tompkins, cites Amazon as
the exemplar for the customer-centric model of e-commerce.
He cites Walmart as the benchmark for the omni-channel
model, which integrates the retail store and digital commerce
models by transforming supply chain, merchandising, and
customer centric service strategies. Distribution centers are
being combined with fulfillment, return, and liquidated item
functions, heretofore handled in separate facilities. Walmart’s
recent purchase of a 170 acre site south of DIA has fueled
speculation that it has plans for a large distribution operation
for unspecified functions.
As companies continue to refine their supply chains to mir-
ror their merchandising strategy, different types, sizes, and
locations of buildings are required. That may explain, in part,
Majestic’s decision to build 834,000 square feet of specula-
tive warehouse distribution space in three buildings, ranging
in size from 151,000 square feet to 523,000 square feet. At
the same time, developers like The Opus Group have also
started speculative projects like its 122,500 square foot Ran-
geview Industrial Center to serve 40,000-80,000 square foot
users requiring high bay space with additional trailer storage
space on-site. Opus, which provides development, construc-
tion, and design services in-house, has 8.2 million square feet
of industrial projects in the pipeline around the country. Peter
Coakley, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the
Denver office, attributes Denver’s demographics to driving
tenant demand from sectors such as e-commerce, food and
beverage, and building supply.
• Census Building Permit data showed 14.6%
year over year growth in Colorado residential
construction as of May, compared to 9.7%
nationally.
• Colorado added 62,000 jobs year over year as
of May, 2016.
This demand and short supply have driven lease rates up,
which correspondingly have made heretofore more expen-
sive sites feasible to develop. Whereas the Denver region
lacks the contiguous population density to rival the industrial
concentrations in the New York/New Jersey, Los Angeles,
Chicago, Atlanta, and Dallas markets, its underlying dynam-
ics will continue to make it attractive for institutional inves-
tors and developers.
Observations on
Effective Entitlement Teams
by Steven Ferris, Real Estate Garage
While running the City of Denver’s Development Services
Department, I witnessed many large projects wind through a
highly coordinated entitlement process that typically takes 6
to 8 months, from concept submittal to initial building permit
issuance. But it’s not unusual for some projects hit excessive
delays. Examples include an affordable housing project that
could not make sense of setbacks and fire lanes, a downtown
high-rise that went sideways because of a failure to agree on
the meaning of vague zoning regulations, and a convenience
store that just had to have the largest parking lot possible.
Vol. 1 -Fourth Quarter - 2016

Observations on Effective Entitlement Teams ...
It’s awkward when an architect insists on a preferred design
that fails to meet a zoning standard, and no one wants to call
out the elephant in the room. Regulators roll their eyes when
an engineer decides to respond to only 5 of 10 requests for
more information. Hand-wringing results when promises
are made to fund construction of a quasi-public space, then
retracted due to unforeseen cost constraints. Similarly, when
a project manager fails to communicate status due to lack
of resources, incompetence, or internal conflicts, the public
agency certainly doesn’t reach out to ask why – they are on
to the next project. Whatever the reasons for delay, the out-
come is higher project costs, particularly when construction
inflation is running at 1% per month.
An efficient real estate development process, from site acqui-
sition and feasibility through construction, requires hands-on
management and intensive fact sharing. In particular, larger
projects or those with complexity require submittals to be
timely and effectively integrated.
Working in this type of environment requires consistent
face-to-face interactions and strong personal relationships.
As much as governmental entities and developers try to work
with technology and within standardized systems, any non-
standard element of a project will require hand-holding and
iterative meetings. In order to successfully complete the most
timely and inexpensive process, here are the 6 key rules that
the Real Estate Garage insists on following:
• Put aside large egos. The process must be
collaborative with your regulatory partners.
• Set up one person to facilitate and lead.
Make sure they have MORE than adequate
capacity and display thoughtful, strategic,
communication skills.
• Set up regular call-in meetings AND face-
to-face contact.
• Constantly share the schedule internally
and “Watch the clock and calendar.”
• Immediately recalibrate time and informa-
tion as new data and circumstances surface.
• Don’t let the regulators or the designers
only read off their checklists. Take the time
to get to know their expectations. Look
for opportunities to share expertise, explain
constraints, persuade, and build
relationships.
Within all of the above, keep someone like the Real Estate
Garage at your fingertips to explain details, take on the regu-
lators as needed, and put the process in context. Let them
manage the process

DENVERIGHT
Denveright, the community driven planning process, should
not be confused with Denverite, the website. Denveright
seeks to integrate a new City of Denver plans for parks and
recreation, transit, land use, and pedestrians and trails. At its
core, it is an urban planning process that the City seeks your
input on. While still in its early stages, many folks are work-
ing very hard on it, but it will take quite a bit of effort and
time to integrate.
The average person may want to get involved IF they want
to craft broadly worded statements intended to accentuate
the positive and enable thoughtful approaches to the City’s
development. If you enjoy looking at things from 30,000
