Apple’s Dilemma
7/12/2019 Operational Strategy – Apple 9
Latency
• People waited impatiently for the company to release a new MacBook
Pro
Old OS
• That new MacBook Pro, which arrived in October 2016, stabilized things
for Apple, and it saw a meager .8% decline over the same period in
2015. But Apple had already lost to Windows-based PCs earlier in the
year.
Dependability
Flexibility
Loosing Competitive Advantage (PC Market)
7/12/2019 Operational Strategy – Apple 10
Channel
Direct shipping / Reselling to customer Through apple stores
Logistics
Strategic partnerships to enable high
service levels
Negotiations, discounts for high
volumes
Inventory
Almost Nil
• An extension of just-in-time
manufacturing
Huge inventories, esp. to support
demand during product launches
Tracking
Each consignment can be tracked
separately through the courier service
Electronic tags attached to some
devices in the lot for tracking
purpose, to avoid leakages

enables just-in-time
Suppliers at arm’s length

justification required

of high volume, deep discounts
∙ High control on each supplier
