Abstract
This caselet is a classic example of how to setup an optimized end-to-end supply chain. The very complex nature of the hi-tech industry poses further challenge to the cost elements involved in the supply chain. The case gives an overall perspective of Leg 1 and Leg 2 logistics and the complexities involved as the number of stakeholders increase in the supply chain. The caselet has a number of exhibits which details out the lead time, sales figures and the various cost elements in the supply chain. The idea is to frame a supply chain model using excel and work out the various combinations of suppliers, factories, warehouses and transportation modes. The risk factor and what if scenario analysis, is the key to this modelling.
