The warehouse needs to understand their role in rerouting deliveries. The IT group must understand their very important role of backing up of data. Because of this, each department should be reviewing their plan quarterly to allow for updates.

There are 10 basic tasks for “The action agenda for executing a strategy”. These 10 tasks are: Build the organizational capabilities required for successful strategy execution, establish a strategy supportive of organizational structure, and allocate sufficient resources to the strategy execution effort, Institute policies and procedures that facilitate strategy execution, adopt best practices and business processes that drive continuous improvement, install information and operating systems that support strategy execution activities, tie rewards and incentives directly to the achievement of strategic and financial targets, instill a corporate culture that promotes good strategy execution, exercise strong leadership to propel strategy execution forward, and staff the organization with the right people for executing this strategy. If managers execute these 10 tasks well, the company has a higher success rate.

Employees within the organization also must be aware of their responsibilities, duties, and goals. Evaluation and Control are the last aspects to take into account and consist of review the internal and external issues and set corrective issues. A good evaluation begins by defining the parameters to be measured, monitoring internal and external take corrective actions that will move the company forward.

The measurement guidelines to verify strategy effectiveness are consistent and tracked have more to do with the training of employees in an organization and the implementation process of the strategy used. In many cases, employees receive new and improved tools that can establish metrics and standards that state what objectives need completing.

Strategic management in DISH Network is one of the most critical aspects of management. Effective strategic management could be the difference of DISH Network is successful or a failing organization. The successful implementation of the strategic management plan in a large corporation like Dish is highly reliant on measurement and evaluation efforts during and after the implementation phase. Strategic implementation is the process that puts plans and strategies into action to reach goals. A strategic plan is a written document that lays out the plans of the business to reach goals, and is put into action with strategic implementation. Strategic implementation makes the company’s plans happen. Strategic implementation is critical to a company’s success, addressing the who, where, when, and how of reaching the desired goals and objectives (Lorette, 2016). By analyzing and identifying strategies from DISH over the past couple years that did not work out so well versus strategies that were successful to build my case. I will evaluate barriers might have gotten in the way of any less successful strategies, and what type of strategic evaluation efforts do you think are necessary to keep an eye on progress in a large company like Dish. I will explain how measurement of implementation process help assures DISH’s success, and the evaluation process helps to assure future success to the company.

By taking a more collaborative approach, major improvement could be made. One way is by embracing the concept of “Collaborative Planning, Forecasting and Replenishment” (CPFR) which have been developed and successfully employed by leading food retailers. It foresees that data is shared and discussed actively between retailers and suppliers, e.g. by producing joint forecast on annual production volumes, also considering foreseeable flunctuations. With a better understanding of the mutual dependencies, the planning basisi could be improve and complexity reduced. On the short term planning basis, making aviable sales data collected in-store 9from the scanner-equipped cash registers) to suppliers in real time allows suppliers to produce more accuratelty to the actual demand, and thus reducing cost for buffers and excess inventory (Trebilcock 006). Of course, Aldi will have to receive a certain share of these benefits. Going one step further would be to add ”Category Management” to Aldi’s supplier collaboration approach to optimise assortment towards the end of customer needs.

Integrated operations are controlled through collaborative planning, forecasting and replenishment through the use of effective is done through pathways such as resource optimization. This is a function of mathematical programming to determine how to most effectively meet the demands of the consumers while optimizing the resources and resource utilization. The results are multiple supply chains forecasted in to future time periods which then helps in determining which products should be produced, when they should be produced, and also helps in determining the most effective way in storing the materials across the supply chain.

The organization in this study, a multi-billion dollar warehousing and distribution company, has been housed in an old building and will be moved to a new state-of-the-art facility. This move involves the planning, organizing, staging and moving of products from one location to the other. Included in planning needs are signage, warehouse racking placement, warehouseman selector choosing routes, freezer, cooler and dry product placement. Incorporated into this move will be the necessity to deal with contractors who are completing the building as well as contacting all vendors and suppliers to inform them of the change of location and service changes during the two-day transition period. The actual moving of all products will require 16 hours, 30 employees on two shifts at two different locations.

Strategic evaluation is essential in guiding a company on its mission and is a continuing process of planning, review and control involving the appraisal of the company plan and the actual results (Rumelt 1998, p55, p.63). There are four broad criteria to test the company’s strategies potential flaws or failure to perform and these include consistent goals and strategies, consonance , advantage and feasibility (Rumelt 1998, p56-7).

“Competitive strategy involves positioning a business to maximize the value of the capabilities that distinguish it from its competitor’s” (Porter 1980:47). A successful business plan requires first and foremost the formation of an appropriate strategy. Through the implementation of a suitable strategy, the company is able to obtain its own industry niche and gain an understanding of its customers (Porter 1985). Whichever strategy is adopted it must be adequately integrated within the firms goals and missions to achieve a competitive advantage (Parker and Helms 1992).
