Assignment Help Operation Management

Reference no: EM132116199

I want you to think about the supply chain of a university in terms of the resources needed to help operate it. To limit the discussion, let us think in terms of 4 major types of resources: 1) faculty and staff, 2) IT equipment (e.g. computers), 3) furniture (e.g. desks, chairs), and smaller items (e.g. pens, markers, paper, staplers, etc.)

For each type of resource above, discuss how you would handle the following decisions:

1) Which sourcing strategy(ies) would you use to obtain them?

2) Would the sourcing/purchasing be done in a centralized or decentralized way?

3) How would warehousing and distribution be handled for the resource once it is on campus campus?

4) How would you handle the reverse logistics of the resource when it is no longer needed?

You will need to justify all your decisions.
