Scenario
You are an Operations Executive for JSH Limited, and
you are planning to recommend some changes to your organization’s value chain
process. Currently, JSH faces multiple delays in shipping orders to their
customer base due to distribution errors and natural disasters, resulting in
backlog orders of 90 days. With the delay in orders, customers are taking to
social media outlets to complain publicly and provide poor ratings or reviews
of the company and products. The CEO has requested that you pull together an
assessment of the current state JSH’s value chain for an upcoming meeting with
the Board of Directors.
In preparation for a meeting with the Board of
Directors, you have been assigned to create a Needs Analysis Summary of
JSH’s value chain for the meeting. The CEO has shared with you JSH’s last value
chain analysis model as a starting off point.
