N/A
Discuss the DEP/GARD Supply chain. What stages are adding
value? What stages are not?
The DEP/GARD supply chain is as follows;
· DEP receives a given amount of the materials they need to
produce polymers
· Compounds needed to manufacture polymers are supplied in a
consistent seven day period by DEP
· The manufacturing department is in an interdependent
relationship with the procurement, marketing and sales
departments. Orders are received via phone or fax, and recorded
in an information system. Using this system, most customers
receive their orders within a period of six to eight days.
· Once the products are manufactured, they are stored in a
warehouse strategically located close to the manufacturers.
· At the warehouse the inventory is inspected and prepared for
delivery. It takes about 3 to 6 for orders to leave the warehouse
from the time they were received from the manufacturer.
· DEP fleet trucks deliver orders to customers within a 200 mile
radius twice a week. Customers outside this radius receive their
deliveries via a common carrier within a period of not more
than six days of delivery time.
Stages that add value;
· The seven-day supply period maintained by DEP and the
company’s flexibility towards the type and quantity of polymers
they make.
· The information system is quite useful in connecting all
departments to avoid misinterpretations and confusion as all
department receive the same information via the information
system.
· The verification process taking place in the warehouse to
match orders to clients in terms of quantity and type.

· (Consider also the value-added with manufacturing and DEP
packaging)
Stages that do not add value;
· The time and energy used to move finished product from one
warehouse to another for verification. This is a waste of
resources and increase the period it takes to deliver products.
· Orders and paperwork should be kept in a common place to
save on time wasted unsorting orders.
· (Consider also materials inventory and receiving)
Using the primary DEP suppliers (60 percent of business), what
is the minimum performance cycle for the supply chain
diagrammed above? What is the maximum?
Based on the size and scope of the delivery challenges faced,
the minimum performance cycle for the supply chain using
primary DEP suppliers (60 percent of the business) is eight days
while the maximum is twenty-five days.
Can the performance cycle be improved through the use of the
twenty five percent and fifteen percent suppliers? What trade-
offs must be made to use these suppliers?
Yes, performance cycles can be improved through the use of 25
percent and 15 percent suppliers. However, the new suppliers
would need to be dependable and strict in adherence to time
because small deviations very costly. However, in the long run
a higher cost for consistency would be worth it as the returns
would increase.
If you were Tom Lippert, what changes would you make in
DEP's operation? Why? What problems do you foresee as you
try to implement these changes?
First and foremost, I would minimize on the current wastage
experienced in operation. I would then keep a close look on the
industry I operate it to determine current trends and operations
of competitors. As a supplier of product, it is paramount that I
stay informed about my competition. These changes are
necessary to ensure GARD operates at lower overhead costs and

attract more business. When it comes to problems I foresee in
this situation of change, I think the leadership of the company
might be conflicted about these changes. Some would be
opposed as these changes as they may appear to be outside
GARD's normal activities and may represent a shift in the
company’s role as industry leader. Their support however would
be crucial. I would therefore develop, in writing, the company’s
shortcomings in relation to the old system and the benefits of
implementing the new structure.
Assuming you can make the changes, mentioned in question 4,
how would you ‘sell Richard Binish on DEP's next bid?’ what
will likely be ‘qualifying criteria’ and ‘order winning criteria?’
will these changes over time? What does this say about supply
chain management?
If I could make the changes suggested, I would sell the idea on
Richard Binish by pointing out to him that DEP will have
properly organized its production and shipping activities to
ensure reliable production and efficient supply of product which
will attract more clients and increase sales while at the same
time offer competitive rates in the market because of cost
cutting.

Alcohol and Drug Study: HE366 Name
_____________________________
Methamphetamine is a potent stimulant drug that can be made in
any home. The demand for “meth” in the street is high, so drug
dealers seek a steady supply. Oregon is the state having the
biggest methamphetamine abuse problem, and now is the state
that has developed programs to prevent this ruinous epidemic.
Watch the documentary “Meth Epidemic” on Frontline,PBS
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/meth/
Answer these questions:
· What is the main ingredient in street meth?
· Where is “ingredient” it made?
· What is the DEA doing to slow down production of street
meth?

· Explain how street purity of meth relates to increasing and
decreasing levels of abuse and addiction in the population.
What impacted the street meth purity, what made it rise and fall
twice in the 1990’s.
· What is the “Oregon solution”? How did it change meth
manufacture in Oregon?
· Where is this solution being implemented in the US? Why is
this not being used everywhere in the US?

Oregon Medical Marijuana History
On Nov. 3, 1998, Oregon voters approved Ballot Measure 67.
The result of the "yes" vote (55%) allowed medical use of
marijuana in Oregon within specified limits. It also established
a state-controlled permit system. In December 1998, the Oregon
Legislature passed Measure 67 into law.
The law, known as the Oregon Medical Marijuana Act (Oregon
Revised Statutes 475.300 - ORS 475.346), provides legal
protections for qualified patients; requires a physician-written
statement of the patient’s qualifying debilitating medical
condition; allows for a caregiver to provide assistance; and
mandates an Oregon Health Authority registration system.
In May 1999, the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program (OMMP)
was created to administer the registration program under the
Oregon Medical Marijuana Act. The Oregon Medical Marijuana
Program is totally fee-supported. No state funds are used to
support the program.

Legal Protection
· The Oregon Medical Marijuana Act (OMMA) protects medical
marijuana users in the state of Oregon who comply with its
requirements from criminal prosecution for production,
possession, or delivery of marijuana.
· The OMMA neither protects marijuana plants from seizure nor
individuals from prosecution if the federal government chooses
to take action against patients, caregivers or growers under the
federal Controlled Substances Act.
· An Oregon Medical Marijuana card protects cardholders only
within the state of Oregon.
· Oregon cardholders are only protected in another state if that
state legally accepts Oregon’s medical marijuana cards. Because
medical marijuana programs vary by state, you may want to
contact the state to which you are traveling for information on
its laws.
· An Oregon cardholder acts at his or her own risk when
possessing, producing or delivering medical marijuana in
another state without a medical marijuana card from that state.
· Nothing in the OMMA specifically addresses whether or not
you can be evicted or terminated from employment because you
are a cardholder. It is up to you to decide whether or not to tell
your landlord or employer that you are a cardholder.
· If you have questions about these important issues, consult
with an attorney.
Confidentiality
· The OMMP will only communicate directly with the patient.
· All written requests to release information about a patient
must be signed and dated by the patient.
· The OMMP will not accept written or verbal requests for
information from a caregiver, grower, or any other person or
agency without the patient’s written permission.
· The names and addresses of OMMP participants are
confidential and not subject to public disclosure.
· Law enforcement personnel may contact the OMMP only to

verify whether an individual is a patient, caregiver or grower or
that a location is a registered growsite address.
· The OMMP will verify for law enforcement whether the
patient, caregiver, grower, or growsite address in question is
registered, or if an application is in process.
· The OMMP will disclose patient information to others only at
the specific written request of the patient.
Growing and Possession
· The OMMP cannot supply seeds, starter plants, or give advice
on how to grow medical marijuana.
· A patient may reimburse his or her grower for the cost of
supplies and utilities associated with the production of his or
her medical marijuana; the Act does not allow reimbursement
for labor or any other costs.
· All usable marijuana, plants, seedlings and starts are the
property of the patient and must be returned to the patient upon
request.
· Marijuana may be transferred by a registry identification
cardholder to another registry identification cardholder as long
no consideration is paid for the transfer.
