I'm excited about this class. It is starting well and we have the rest of the semester for learning and contact.
How does supply chain affect your life?
Where do you see the supply chain? Just the other day I saw a logistics delivery van. Often in UK I would see Fedex vans. These are all visible parts of the supply chain. Who comes into contact with customers? Often the delivery man - the man who drives the delivery truck for Fedex etc. Have you experience of receiving a package from these types of firm? |

Few months back, I have received a parcel. It was from T-cat, people normally known as black cats. I was pretty satisfied with their quality of services. That man came with the parcel, he was friendly, can feel his passion for his job, plus he was a wearing a neat uniform, which really looked professional. Interesting enough that the man actually phoned me, to make sure where I am at that time, and also informed me that there is a parcel needed to be send it to me.  |

| This must be the Japanese delivery company (Takkyubin?). It sounds like they may make real-time changes to the schedule to allow for customers who are home or out. Often the design the pickup-dropoff route carefully to minimize journey time and maximize speed. |

maybe they still need to buy the raw materials to make the clothes. have you tried to contact them directly to find out what exactly is causing the delay? clothes supposedly to come within how many days? |

I could understand your feeling, if the goods is delay really made me angry. In this situation, I think that manager shoud talk to customer how many days the goods will arrive. Not just let customer waiting and waiting. |

Ted, yes... but then think further... connect up ideas
What are we talking about here? INFORMATION -- just like in our last class
What it looks like here is that the manager doesn't know... so how INTEGRATED is this supply chain?
Diagnosis... the supply chain doesn't look integrated becuase the manager can't give the customer a good, clear, honest response about when the clothes will come. |
