Making the Case for ABC
This assignment will give you the opportunity to dive into the ABC inventory control process. To prepare, think back to the text chapters this week, the video and the blog post on Costco; reflect on how Costco utilizes supply chain and logistics to differentiate in the marketplace. How are they different than Sams Club or other competitors?
For your assignment this week, choose a sector (retail, automotive, manufacturing, or warehousing), and a company within that sector, (other than Costco), then draft a plan to pitch to that company for why they should be using the ABC process.
Your pitch should:
- provide an overview of the process,
- explain why it would be an effective solution for the company,
- acknowledge any limitations,
- outline steps for adoption, and
- recommend the best practices for using it. (Written in a format that would be appropriate for a business setting.)
