-Objective:

How can we increase efficiency through supply chain management? What can be gained by using a management service? What outcomes do we hope to achieve?

Strategies:

Break down the objective into measurable tasks for completion.

-Time frames for completion

-Accountable member(s) of the team

-Estimated budget

-Total project cost

Now, based on your operational plan, reflect on the following:

-Why did you choose the supply chain you did? What services or techniques made them appealing? Are they in alignment with the objectives of the organization?

-Is the plan feasible and cost effective? Why or why not?

-Is the proposed cost worth the return on investment? -Why or why not?

-Imagine the operational plan is rejected and the board of trustees asks you to look for alternate solutions to the supply chain issue. What are some ideas for achieving the same outcomes without using the service?
