Case Study Analysis

After initial investigations made by FastGood's independent consultants it has been found that, while internally designed and implemented, FastGood's current supply chain strategy has not been clearly communicated with external stakeholders. This is flagged as one of the significant strategic issues and needs to be carefully addressed.

To address this shortcoming, you have been asked to investigate the company's existing supply chain strategy and, considering the key challenges and recent changes demonstrated in the Case Study and associated dataset, propose a new supply chain strategy. You need to take the key aspects of the company's products and supply chain characteristics (e.g., demand, supply, delivery lead time, supply chain integration level) into account and discuss the contingencies surrounding both the current and proposed supply chain strategies.

Your discussion should be based on the information provided in the FastGood case study and associated dataset with reference to both the material covered in Module 1 and relevant academic literature (at least 3 academic sources e.g. peer-reviewed journal articles, book and book chapters). To help managers for better decision-making, you're also expected to use appropriate tools and techniques to present your propositions and demonstrate your insights.

Important tips:
• Read through the FastGood Case Study and associated dataset before before you start.
• Read carefully through the marking guide for this assessment task, and make sure you understand the criteria of this task before you start.
• Submit your final report as a Word document, including your analyses and recommendations.
• Remember to use the Academy of Management referencing style. (Note that your calculations and your reference list are not included in your total word count.)
