dq 1
Declines in Inventory Costs and Levels
Resources
According to your reading for this unit in Chapter 9 of the Coyle
text, inventory costs and levels have declined in relation to the gross
domestic product (GDP), in recent years.
Carrying high levels of inventory can be costly and risky. While products sit on shelves,
opportunities and financing might be missed. Pilferage is a potential risk. Over time, the product could become
obsolete.
Today, organizations are developing techniques to reduce the
levels of inventory they must maintain, and their associated costs. For example, one evolving trend is to
maintain showroom inventory. Approaches such as in-transit replenishment
stock and point-of-sale reordering also reduce stagnant inventory costs.
How have new approaches influenced inventory information delivery
in your organization?
- Investigate
and identify any significant declines in inventory costs and levels for
your organization over the span of the past 20 years.
- How
have costs of carrying high levels of inventory (such as financing,
opportunity, obsolescence, and pilferage) in your organization changed?
- Suggest
at least one reason for any apparent decreases in costs or levels of
inventory.
- What
benefits can you attribute to these declines?
Discuss some of the best practices that leading companies, using
unique approaches to logistics and inventory management, have embraced.
Response Guidelines
- Compare
how inventory processes in your peer's organization have changed with how
your organization's inventory processes has changed.Identify
specific examples.
- Do
you agree or disagree with your peer's assessment of the changes in his or
her organization due to new inventory approaches?
- What
additional comments, suggestions, or experiences can you share with your
peer?

dq 2
Costs of Transportation
Resources
Historically, in the United States, the use of trucking has vastly
outweighed the use of other modes of transportation. With fuel prices on the rise today, and
given current economic conditions, it is likely that there will be both short-
and long-term changes ahead.
- What
potential changes do you see in the preferred modes of transportation for
your industry sector? Specify any evolving trends you can see.
- Identify
the mode of transportation most used by your organization. Can you discern any potential areas
for improvement? For example, might rail be more cost-effective than
trucking (assuming that customer demand can be satisfied)?
- Identify
any challenges that less-versatile, less-capable companies may face, if
they cannot be flexible in embracing new modes of transportation.
- Describe
some of the best practices, in the area of transportation mode
utilization, that leading companies in your industry have embraced.
Response Guidelines
- How
is your peer's industry affected differently from yours by transportation
costs? How are the effects similar?
- Do
you agree or disagree with your peer's assessment of the transportation
changes ahead in his or her organization? Try to extend the conversation.
- What
additional comments, suggestions, or experiences can you share with your
peer?

with managers and staff in your customer relations or customer service
department.
- Reviewing
customer surveys.
- Interviewing
a few key people involved in customer-facing processes.

(see resources) to identify at least three logistics processes you might
address for your project.Complete
the worksheet and select an
appropriate candidate from that list. Include a copy of your worksheet in the
proposal submission.

Project Update
Resources
The second component of your course project is an update of your
progress on the LIP project. Remember that you are expected to develop
your project independently throughout the course, using the project description
as a guide. At this time, you should be developing an
analysis of the logistics process you identified for your project. Based on the information you have gathered,
use measurements tools and techniques to demonstrate the existing process and
describe the improved process you will propose.
You are not expected to have your LIP project entirely completed
for this update assignment, but you are asked to submit preliminary work
corresponding to each of the following elements of the final project
submission:
- A
problem statement– Describe the issue your plan would address. Include some background on the problem. How long has the issue been occurring?
How is it important to the organization? Provide relevant historical data.
- Data
and measurements– Use some of the following measurement tools and
techniques to present the data you have gathered thus far:
- A
fishbone diagram– Use a fishbone diagram to examine the causes of
the issue.
- A
flowchart, table, or another chart– You are highly encouraged to
include a before-and-after flowchart or another visual representation of
the existing and proposed logistics process.
- Note:You will be
required to submit at least three measurement tools for the final project
submission and to incorporate your findings from the tools into your plan. One of the measurement tools must be
a fishbone diagram.
- Causes
and effects discussion– Use the data you have collected and
your measurements to describe what caused the existing situation and how
the issue affects the process and the organization.
- A cost-benefits summary– If possible,
base your cost-benefits summary on actual information. If not, base it on your anticipated
information.
- A
conclusionaddressing
the following:
- Implications– Consider
what could happen if the issue continues as it is—and what could happen
if it is improved. What are some potential general
business results? What impact might there be on business relationships?
What specific results are you anticipating, at this stage of the
investigation?
- Desired
outcome–
How will resolving this issue change the process? What competitive
advantage(s) will this change yield? How will it impact stakeholders?
What financial benefits do you anticipate?
Include at least one supporting reference to materials outside the
course—ideally more than one. Use APA style and formatting for your
references.Your
paper should be approximately 2–3 typed, double-spaced pages in length, in
addition to your data measurement tools and any additional attachments. Refer to the LIP Update scoring guide to
learn how you will be assessed on this assignment.
You will continue to expand on this work for the final submission. Again, it is not necessary for these
elements to be entirely completed at this time; the purpose of this update is
to demonstrate your progress and to enable your instructor to provide
constructive feedback. The closer your project is to completion
now, the higher the quality of feedback you will receive. You will incorporate that feedback in your
final submission.

which you have sufficient knowledge to compare, including the organization with
which you are currently employed, a former employer, or the organization you
have chosen to study for your project.)

Logistics Improvement Plan
Resources
For this final assignment, submit:
The final plan should include all of the research and groundwork
you have completed thus far. However, it should be more than a compilation
of the individual project components—it should constitute a comprehensive plan. It should incorporate feedback you have
received on individual project components. It should also present the tools,
techniques, and methodologies covered throughout the course.
Submit an executive summary of your LIP as a separate, stand-alone
document. The executive summary should be addressed
to a management team of principal stakeholders. Provide a brief synopsis of the plan you
propose, justified by the data you have collected and processed.
Refer to the Logistics Improvement Plan project description for
complete instructions on submitting the final project. Be certain to read the entire project
description and the grading criteria to understand what you are expected to
submit. If you have any questions, take advantage
of your avenues of communication (including the course discussions and
instructor feedback) to obtain clarification.
