Instructions
Improving my writing and supporting my claims.
Reading the actual Intel case file is important to have a complete idea of the wrong staff I have in my writing.
This is a case study for Intel company.
WEIGHT
Within this case, it is assumed that the weight is manually entered for all of the products from a scale, and the dimensional weights are standard and are already implemented within the master data. The products weight is being put into the system incorrectly this can either be from incorrect dimensional weights that are within the master data, or the weight is being manually entered in wrong. For international shipments, this can cost the company tens of thousands of dollars from custom agencies that need exact and correct information to allow the shipment into foreign countries CITED SOURCE. Having to re-submit customs paperwork with correct information, refund customer's’ payment for the shipment, losing future business with the international buyer, and inability to recover shipment altogether are all extremely costly
how to make SOLUTION
need automated weight into the system so they don’t have to type it in manually.
The new process will incorporate a system for weighing boxes of products before they are placed in inventory.
In fact, Intel will have a system that weighs international shipments each box twice along the way. On all measuring computers, it will require each employee to double check and confirm the weight.
The company acknowledges the added costs of close inspection; It will only apply these policies to international shipments where risk is greatest.
