    Supply Chain Task 1

    To evaluate how I utilized both budgets and pro-formas to ensure the adequacy of funds for providing production capacity that was needed to achieve the businesses goals. I want to first start with the definition of both pro-forma and budget; A budget is a basic idea that covers more than a few areas, all in all it's a financial plan that is made to control costs for operations and results. It can be expressed in a multitude of numerical terms, it also can cover a certain period of time, short, intermediate and long term goals. A pro-forma is also a financial statement but it is prepared based upon assumptions of specific events and transactions that will hopefully occur in the Future, so basically a projected estimate using historical data to form a hypothesis of A financial outcome. The importance of both the pro-forma and budget were huge. Knowing going into the simulation how much seed money was going to be issued and how much additional money was coming in future investments, gave me an idea of how aggressive or conservative I could be. I was able to to set with an initial idea of how much I could spend for each factor needed moving forward. I was able to understand how much to market, how much to hire and how much I could afford for each of these tasks, as well as how much was coming into pay for future marketing and hires. Without advertising there are no customers, without a good sales and service staff there are no sales, or an ability to take care of the customer. In the opening quarter of the company I had a 2 million dollar start-up fund. My upfront expenses were approximately $530,000. I also chose to invest in a 3 month CD about $880,000, I made sure in my first endeavor to keep money available and not to over indulge. I took similar approaches going…

    Supply Chain Task 2

    1. As I began my journey as a new business owner of a computer company I needed to define my company 's goals, decide which direction I wanted to take the company to and create a mission statement that will best represent my company. Since the company was new I needed to come up with something catchy and promising that would invite potential clients to find out more about the products we offer. Since there were more participants in this game and from my professional experience I learned that staying on the same path and making advancements is more beneficial than trying to change directions every time. In this case I remained focused on the same two groups for the remaining 3 rounds. Instead of changing and adding more products every quarters like most of the other participants I kept my two models (one for each group) and made necessary corrections and modifications based on the market needs. I verified the requirements of each group, the priorities and the price range each client is willing to pay. Since there are no specific techniques used in this part of the business analysis I used my own judgment in making sure that I create the best product with the items that are most important to the potential client group. As stated above I initially created two products (one for each group) and after the first round they both passed 70% but in the scientific group it was not chosen as one of the best. In the second round I was given an option of reviewing products of my competitors and the only difference was the larger monitor and an upgraded keyboard. I added those options to my products and in the next round both products did very well. I had to make sure that in the nest round I keep up with the new upgrades and add them to my products to make sure that I keep up with the new technology. Even after making the upgrades the prices did not change a lot and the two groups still chose my product as one of…

    Supply Chain Task 1

    In Quarter 2 I projected a demand of 350 units for my primary target market, the Mercedes group, and 170 units for my secondary group, the Traveler. My total forecasted demand was 500 units, and my available operating capacity was 520 units. I decided to sale my product to the Mercedes group for $3800.00/unit with a $100 rebate/unit and sold my product to the travelers for $3000.00/unit with a $100/rebate. I operated at 100% capacity for Quarter 2. I sold out of both products, under estimating my consumers. For the Mercedes group, I lost out on 158 sales and for the Travelers I lost out on 74 sales. At the end of quarter 2, I was still operating at a loss, but had significantly cut my loss from $-338,500 to $-195,018. Thanks to the common stock I sold this quarter, I still had a cash balance over a million dollars which helped me make changes for quarter 3.…

    Supply Chain Task 2

    I made my brand design decisions in the simulation by taking into account what the customers were looking for in a product. The simulation provided me with information as to what was important to the customer and what the customer wanted in their ideal computer. I then took that information and made sure that I included all of it in the product. In the first design which was aimed at the Mercedes target market; I did not make the screen size as big as the customer wanted it. When the simulation showed me my product compared to my competitor’s product, my competitors were in the lead. After seeing this information I changed the design to the screen size and made it bigger. I also included some extra games and made the keyboard more user friendly. My results after the changes were favorable. After making a few changes to the advertising as well, we emphasized on those factors that were important to the customer including the screen size. We then started to do better than our competitors. The simulation showed that we were the preferred brand within customers of the Mercedes and the Travelers market. For the Workhorse market I determined the design decisions just as I did the Mercedes and Travelers market. I made sure to include everything the customer was looking for according to the information the simulation provided me. Our product aimed at the Workhorse market did well and was the preferred brand from the time it was introduced.…

    Supply Chain Management Case Study 1

    I don’t feel that the fixed price contract agreed upon by Florida Retailing Company was the best way to procure ACME’s computer system. The reason for this is because with the agreement, 50% was being paid up front, where that could still probably be acceptable in a revised agreement, however, the other 50 % was being pad upon delivery. ACME received full payment without any guarantee that the computer system would be what as expected out of the system. This then hurt the Florida Retail Company in the end because of the fact that the computer system was a giant mess for the company.…
