Tesco has grown to become the largest supermarket chain in the UK through innovations in supply chain management. The company adopted lean principles from Toyota to reduce waste and implement just-in-time inventory practices. This included point-of-sale scanning, centralized ordering and distribution, and automated warehouse control. While Tesco has achieved supply chain efficiencies through these methods, international expansion presents challenges in adapting practices to diverse global markets and suppliers.
Tesco is the biggest retailer in UK now. Having operations in 14 countries with 2,291 stores spread globally, Tesco employs 296,000 people. Now their focus is on “Creating value for customers, to earn their lifetime loyalty” and strives to “be energetic, be innovative and be the first for the customer”. So the 21st customer has taken a great leap over “pile high, sell it cheap “strategy and demanding nature of the customer has forced Tesco to continuously improve

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

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.

4. Background
• Tesco was founded in 1910 by Jack Cohen
• The first private label product introduced by Cohen was Tesco
Tea
• Tesco opened its first store in 1929
• The company's driving force was the idea 'Pile it high and sell
it cheap
• In 1947, Tesco went public and a year later, Tesco self-service
stores were started

5. • In 1956, the first Tesco self-service supermarket was opened
• In the 1960s, Tesco went on an expansion spree and acquired
several store chains
• By the 1970s, Tesco's 'Pile it high, sell it cheap' philosophy no

11. BULL WHIP EFFECT
Distorted lack of information such as
inaccurate demand data, or forecasts from the
customers end can ripple back upstream.
This results in high buffer of inventories, poor
customer service, missed production
schedule, wrong capacity plan etc.

13. SIX SIGMA
A measure of quality that strives for near perfection.
Six Sigma is a disciplined, data-driven approach and
methodology for eliminating defects (driving toward six
standard deviations between the mean and the
nearest specification limit) in any process – from
manufacturing to transactional and from product to
service.
To achieve Six Sigma, a process must not produce
more than 3.4 defects per million opportunities.
Lean Six Sigma is one principle which combines Lean
and Six Sigma concepts for continuous process
improvement and reduction in variation.

Tesco used RFID also called radio bar codes on
trial basis in 2003.
Advantages :
Easy tracking of products.
Provides unique identification & security .
Helps in measuring and controlling every
aspect of supply chain.
Promotes faster processing of goods, lower
costs and higher employee effeciency.

19. Question 1:
To what extent can Tesco’s supply chain practices be said as lean ( i.e Just in Time)
principles? ( consider JIT as a philosophy, a planning and control system and an
inventory system)
19
20. Answer 1
Tesco is an extremely successful company major part of its success has been due to its
distribution network.
Applied lean distribution and just in time strategy .
It helped reducing inventory costs and improved scheduling.
The original seven muda are:
Transport (moving products that are not actually required to perform the processing)
Inventory (all components, work in process and finished product not being processed)
Motion (people or equipment moving or walking more than is required to perform the
processing)
Waiting (waiting for the next production step)
Overproduction (production ahead of demand)
Over Processing (resulting from poor tool or product design creating activity)
Defects (the effort involved in inspecting for and fixing defects)
Tesco followed the above principles before they asked their suppliers to implement it.
20
21. Question 2:
What are the main differences operating JIT in retailing and in
manufacturing operations?
21
22. Answer 2
Lean Manufacturing is a systematic methodology that identifies and eliminates all types of waste or
non-value-added activities in production or manufacturing operations.
Lean Manufacturing, sometimes also referred to as the Toyota Production System (TPS), is about
the systematic elimination of waste.
Lean retailing is an approach to re-inventing a long established business practice by using new
information technologies to cut out waste and make operations more profitable.
Lean retailing relies on the use of Barcodes to manage every step of the product value chain, from
raw material sourcing through manufacturing through final delivery to the shop floor.
Lean Retailing software systems will automatically place new orders for a given product from the
manufacturer as soon as an item is scanned at the checkout counter, and in some cases, even the
invoicing for that automatic order is automatized as well. Lean retailing aims to "cut out the fat"
(waste) from the retail sourcing process to maximize profits for the retailer.
Lean Manufacturing encompasses the whole business rather than just manufacturing it includes
product development, production, supply chains, distribution and customer service.
22
23. Question 3:
What challenges does the increased internationalization of both its
suppliers and its markets present for supply chain management in Tesco?
23
24. Answer 3
Tesco's real strategic store internationalization began in 1994 with entry into
Hungary but soon expanded into other central European countries, Asian market (
China, Japan).
The strategic approach to store internationalization has seen Tesco develop
different solutions for diverse markets
Some of the challenges faced due to increased internationalization:
Using different composite models for different countries with respect to the supply
system and technology used.
For example: RFID has some limitations in terms of high cost and operating
environment.
Also Primary distribution has many loopholes ,Tesco has to take into consideration
the timeliness and reliability of the pickups by their trucks.
Using distinct formats and tailoring the product and service offer to the local
market. In many countries it operates as a multi-format and even multi-channel
retailer (home shopping is available in Ireland and Korea) and focuses on the core
values and brands of the business.
Behind the scenes people, processes and systems have been enhanced and rolled
out initially as 'Tesco in a Box' and more recently as the Tesco Operating Model.
24
25. Conclusion
Overall, Tesco's Supply Chain Management Strategy is its long-term goal. It
is important for Tesco to have an operational strategy because it
establishes the types of goods and services the company will offer its
target market, and how Tesco are going to get advantages over its
competitors. Tesco made good planning and control in its capacity, supply
chain and quality.
Besides, in order to make improvements in operation, Tesco measures
quality, speed, dependability, flexibility and cost. Although they have
made some improvements, there are still some limitations in its operation.
The future retains numerous distinct scenarios for Tesco. The business has
currently developed into a worldwide business. One of their likely future
strategies could be dedicated to gathering a spectacular clientele service,
as they have currently developed enough. As cited previous, Tesco is the
market foremost in the UK. To sustain this location it is significant to
advance its services all the time Tesco will require advancing its product
variety by proposing more non-food items.

In order processing it was seen that orders were processed not individually but in batches once a day or once a week depending on the product or location of the stores.
Processing passed through eight different systems.
Projections and the demand that was forecasted by sales team was amplified mainly due to long lead time, poor product avaiibility, waiting to obtain full truck loads and different ordering cycles.
