When Determining The Future Could-BE Solrios?
According to the method selected for developing a solution for the project (p. xx), the next step after the AS-IS analysis is the design of alternative solutions. By following this approach, different potential solutions can be created and evaluated. In this way, a more holistic problem solving process can be achieved, and the broader perspective obtained, and eventually the best alternative selected, when compared to designing only one solution and hoping it will solve the problem. All the benefits of the systematic approach to problem solving have been listed on p. XX.
When determining the future COULD-BE scenarios, a number of factors were taken into account:
1. The scenarios need to be realistic and viable
2. They need to be “interesting” …show more content…
Partially, this is due to the dynamic nature of transportation and logistics business. Another reason is that in present days the organization as well as the whole industry is experiencing fundamental changes, main drivers of which is technology, increasing supply chain complexity (Dan Goodwill, 2015) (PwC Strategy&, 2016), liberalisation of transport sector as well as new political initiatives aimed at boosting sustainable transport modes in the EU (Kelleher, 2014) (European Monitoring Centre on Change (EMCC), 2008).

According to the calculation results (Appendix XX) DANDOY can easily handle the average demand throughout a year, by only exploiting already possessed vehicles, which are driven by full-time employed drivers. Essentially, this scenario makes logical sense, since it proposes a more “chase” demand capacity approach, which is appropriate, when demand cannot be easily predicted. The major benefit gained from this strategy, is the fact that DANDOY vehicles will not be idle, which entails a maximum utilization of available capacity, which in its turn brings along lower cost per unit
