Assignment

Supply Chain Design and Optimization

• What system design has Zara implemented to guarantee a new garment to its 600-plus stores worldwide in a mere 15 days from the design, production, and delivery?
• What the advantages to manufacturing and distributing products in small batches rather than pushing its factories to maximize outputs?
• Unlike so many of its peers, which rush to outsource, Zara keeps almost half of its production in-house. How does Zara do this?
• Would you run your factories just during the day shift as Zara did? Is this any way to run an efficient supply chain? Why?
