Module 3 – SLP SUPPLY CHAIN TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS Assignment Overview Delivery Technology A drone delivery service in Iceland was the first of its kind in 2017. Before that, Amazon did drone delivery trials in England in 2016. In 2019, a press release appeared announcing prescription deliveries from different pharmacies. UPS announced it received the FAA’s first full approval for a drone airline. On the ground, driverless delivery vehicles are slated to deliver for Walmart, and Ford wants a two-legged robot to make deliveries in the future. Sometimes the news of automated delivery is damaging and other times forward-thinking. Begin with the SLP background readings to learn about what’s happening in delivery. Then move to expert or consultant publications written within the past three years. You must include technology that links the modes of delivery with the rest of the supply chain. SLP Assignment Provide a well-balanced assessment of what is required for high-tech delivery according to the readings and information from at least two experts (articles, interviews, presentations, etc.). You must include two different strategies/requirements, including coverage of costs/risks. The final section of the project must include a well-researched discussion of technology links (software, programs, etc.) that ensure transparency and control within the chain. NOTE: No resources should be more than three years old for this Case because the industry is changing rapidly and the goal is to remain relevant throughout your career.

Module 3 – Case SUPPLY CHAIN TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS Assignment Overview Logistics Trends Major companies make different decisions regarding logistics in order to optimize supply chain functions; a few create in-house solutions or franchises; some move forward via acquisition, while third-party sourcing or partnerships is more appealing to others. Consumers expect deliveries fast: the next day, the same day even in one or two hours but don’t want to pay (extra) for the service. Companies are working on fulfillment and logistics solutions to meet the demands of the marketplace. Last-mile delivery is becoming a large part of the process. What technology/software supports the processes for chain members including the end consumer? Begin with the Case background readings to learn about logistics trends. Then move to expert or consultant publications written within the past three years. Case Assignment Provide a well-balanced assessment of what is required in omni-channel supply chains according to the readings and information from at least three experts (articles, interviews, presentations, etc.). You must include four different strategies for delivery (other than drones/automated vehicles, etc. which are addressed in this module’s SLP). One delivery method must include brick-and-mortar or warehouse delivery while a second needs to be last-mile focused. The final section of the Case must include a well-researched discussion of technology links (software, programs, etc.) that ensure transparency and control within the chain. NOTE: No resources should be more than three years old for this Case because the industry is changing rapidly and the goal is to remain relevant throughout your career.

Discussion: The Holiday Shopping Season   Previous Next  The Holiday Shopping Season According to the National Retail Federation, the shopping season from Black Friday and Cyber Monday to Christmas represents 19% of annual retail sales. November and December 2020 Holiday sales grew 8.2% ($777 billion) over 2019. Meticulous planning, forecasting, and execution months in advance are required for chain members to have goods on-site and delivery capabilities in place for the month-long massive shopping event.  Module 3: Week 1 Discussion Readings  The supply chain is an unlikely Ghost of Christmas Present (2021) Big box stores are taking drastic steps to avert shipping delays. Small retailers are hoping for a holiday miracle. (2021)  Americans may not get some Christmas treats, White House officials warn (2021)  4 reasons Americans are still seeing empty shelves and long waits – with Christmas just around the corner (2021)  Infographic: The Christmas Supply Chain  WEEK 1 DISCUSSION POST The week’s readings include a mix of interdisciplinary and light-hearted resources looking at the holiday supply chain. Find at least one other recent resource for support. For your post: What support is needed from chain members to ensure inventory in retail outlets? Consider resources required for delivery from outlets with physical locations. Using the resource beyond this week’s readings, provide a real-world example of how brick and mortar stores are adding delivery to buying channel options (from a supply chain perspective). (The article should be less than two years old.) This post should be 2 paragraphs in length (150-200 words). Since you are engaging in research, be sure to cite in the body of the post and add a reference list in APA format. NOTE: failure to use research with accompanying citations to support content will result in reduced scoring “Level 2-Developing” for Quality of Initial Posting, Critical Thinking, and Reference to Supporting Readings/Information Literacy on the grading rubric.  WEEK 1 INTERACTIVE RESPONSES TO CLASSMATES 1st Interactive Response: Analyze one student’s resources required for delivery and compare/contrast them to your post. 2nd Interactive Response: Analyze another student’s company delivery example and compare/contrast it to your post. Each reply should be one paragraph in length (or about 75 words) and must be substantive in nature. Do not simply say “I agree” or “That is great”; specify why and be detailed in your explanation. You may use research in your responses, but it is not required. Module 3: Week 2 Discussion Readings  Holiday shopping has started early amid fears over shipping delays (2021)  Exclusive Q&A: Flexibility, omnichannel crucial to holiday planning (2021)  AMZN vs WMT Weekly: Logistics Take Center Stage Ahead of Bring-It-to-Me Holidays (2021) How the gig economy can help win the last mile delivery race (2021) Santa Claus Interrupted! Why Christmas Might Be Ruined This Year (2021) WEEK 2 DISCUSSION POST The dollar value of retail ecommerce deliveries has grown globally, with the trend expected to continue. Some companies planned for the boom in delivery and developed partnerships or made acquisitions to support the channel. This week’s readings provide a historical snapshot of holiday delivery since 2014. Find at least one other recent resource for support. For your post: Explain how traditional retail outlets compete for ecommerce delivery. (Do not use Walmart.) Compare partnerships and acquisitions in warehousing and delivery for brick and mortar outlets. Using the resource beyond this week’s readings, provide a real-world example of how brick and mortar stores are using warehousing to support delivery (from a supply chain perspective). (The article should be less than two years old.) This post should be 2 paragraphs in length (150-200 words). Since you are engaging in research, be sure to cite in the body of the post and add a reference list in APA format. NOTE: failure to use research with accompanying citations to support content will result in reduced scoring “Level 2-Developing” for Quality of Initial Posting, Critical Thinking, and Reference to Supporting Readings/Information Literacy on the grading rubric. WEEK 2 INTERACTIVE RESPONSES TO CLASSMATES 1st Interactive Response: Analyze one student’s resources required for competing and compare/contrast them to your post. 2nd Interactive Response: Analyze another student’s company warehousing example and compare/contrast it to your post. Each reply should be one paragraph in length (or about 75 words) and must be substantive in nature. Do not simply say “I agree” or “That is great”; specify why and be detailed in your explanation. You may use research in your responses, but it is not required.
