Case study involving Dell's Supply Chain.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Group Case 4
Inventory Decisions in Dell’s Supply Chain,
Interfaces
, Vol. 34, No. 3, May–June 2004, pp. 191–
205.
Case Analysis and Report: Suggested Approach
1. Read the case carefully and thoroughly.
2. Define the central issues. The case involves sev
eral issues. Identify the most important
issues and separate them from the more trivial issu
es.
3. Define the firm's goals. Identifying the firm's
goals will provide a guide for the remaining
analysis.
4. Study the models and associated solutions. Discu
ss the model implementation and interpret
the suggested solution. Remember, objectives and co
nstraints have to be considered when
discussing a solution.
5. Make use of the solution. Each case has a very s
pecific modeling solution, but it is up to the
analyst to suggest how the firm is to use the model
ing solution. Discuss it in the case of this
study.
6. Discuss the implementation plan. The final step
in the analysis is to develop a plan for
effective implementation of the decision. Lack of a
n implementation plan even for a very
good decision can lead to disaster for a firm and f
or the analyst. Don't overlook this step.
Format and Rubrics for this Assignment
1. Problem 10%
Problem statement
: present the context of the problem and any backgr
ound needed to
understand the report. It is also important to indi
cate the use of the modeling solutions (what are
the firm’s goals, how can the firm make use of the
solution).
Assumptions made
: clearly indicate the simplifying assumptions used
in the analysis. This will
allow the manager responsible for the decision to m
ake a judgment on the usefulness of the
report.
Solution Approach
: briefly describe the mathematical model. If it is
a standard model then just
a statement indicating the model used is all that i
s needed. You should also indicate the
software used.
.
2. Problem Development 25%
Present the details of the problem, including, the
data used in the model, the source of that
data, and any intermediate calculations performed b
efore the data is ready for use in the model.
 

 

3. Results 35%
Present clearly and concisely the assessment of the
solution quality and discuss the viability of
the solution for the company.
4. Sensitivity Analysis 10%
Present relevant contingencies that might result fr
om changes in assumptions and parameters
of the model.
5. Conclusion, Recommendation and implementation pl
an 10%
Summary
: restate the aim of the report, the methods used
and a summary of the results.
Overall Recommendation
: this section involves considering both results an
d the sensitivity
analysis. It should provide the decision maker with
a set of options/solutions to the differing
scenarios.
Implementation
: how is the model solution going to fit into the f
irm’s procedures?
Further analysis: The initial report may lead some
insight on important but neglected
components of the problem - these are indicated in
the final section.
6. Learning Relevance 10%
Describe how the material learned in the course hel
ped you to understand and analyze this
case. Specify and clearly explain the learning unit
s (or topics) of the course used in the case
and provide references to sections or paragraphs in
the textbook and/or equation numbers to
support your statements. Finally, explain how the a
nalysis of this case may have helped you to
consolidate the material learned on the topics invo
lved.
