Case Study: Devops For Etsy

Zara’s IT expenditures are low by fashion industry standards. The spectacular benefits reaped by Zara from the deployment of technology have resulted from targeting technology investment at the points in the value chain where it has the greatest impact, and not from the sheer magnitude of the investment. This is in stark contrast to Prada’s experience with in-store technology deployment.

Measured against Marquet’s objective of creating a ‘quick response’ strategy that would increase the Dore-Dore’s (DD) supply chain’s ‘speed and flexibility’, the implementation of a cellular manufacturing system in the sewing department proved very successful with a

Due to the high risk and tight schedule of the online store project, it has a high possibility to delay and go behind schedule. And we would like to suggest some opinion about the management of the project to avoid the overtime of the project and

“In an age of increasing specialization, it is rare for one person to be knowledgeable in all aspects of a complex task” (Thompson, 2015, p. 88). In this case, the first step was to understand our incoming demand. For this, I relied on information technology to generate numerous reports as well as the expertise of our sales team. It was at that point that the data was analyzed in conjunction with an inventory specialist. After we had the knowledge of what current product to inventory, we then needed to establish a set of guidelines of how to qualify products in the future. Inventory control management processes were instituted as well as a supply an auditing system. These steps included information from organizational members from our manufacturing group, planning department, and procurement department. Finally, we needed to understand and facilitate the storage and shipping of the product. We enlisted the help of our warehouse employees as well as our transportation department. This type of project included various levels of the organization and required a tremendous amount of communication. The project workload was enormous and also had a substantial financial investment associated with it. Instrumental in the project’s success was the team’s cohesion, diversity, and strategies deployed

Soon this calling grow to a level that demanded more resources than the small startup could not easily sustain. Information Technology needed to be improved to situation to enable the staff to leverage its promise for increased work flow. With the increased efficiency from an increase IT presence came the need for more from the knowledge on how to manage this resource. This

Albatross Anchors usually do small batch production order due to plant antiquation and safety issues. With the limited manufacturing area and warehouse space the limited space to store raw materials is costing the company more money to produce the anchors. The time frame of production of order is very important to the retailers the less time to produce the more units can be produced to increase the production and bring down the cost of production. Speed in production is the new competitive edge in production as quick as the order is placed by the customer; the customer is expecting the manufacture to have it delivered to them. The way a manufacturing company can meet the challenge of speed by employing the tools and techniques that produce speed in design production and delivery tools like rapid prototyping, concurrent engineering, simulation and 3D modeling, build to order through lean and agile manufacturing, Six Sigma, outsourcing, third party logistics, cross docking. Companies must use them efficiently and effectively in order to gain a competitive advantage (Tompkins, 2002). The company must make technology changes it is the way of the future. Must understand the process of satisfying the customer and using effective communication in order to achieve and maintain speed, and continue through the supply chain to the customer and the supply chain to the suppliers with continuous flow of communication.

MSES602 Introduction to DevOps is an on-line class offered by Regis University over eight weeks as part of its Enterprise Engineering Program. The class requires students to perform multiple labs where on their own computers, they have to build out a virtual machine and install various pieces of software in order to monitor, test, and deploy code. However, since both technology and academia need to constantly improve it is wise to question if evolution of the lab methods is necessary to better meet the needs of all pertinent stakeholders. Therefore, evaluation of the perspectives of the major stakeholders, the students, facilitators, and Regis administration, occurred. Additionally, since MSES602 is a technology oriented class, evaluation

A further internal driver of change is a need to decrease costs and increase consistency and efficiency, which is the aim of the centralisation of some support functions from E.ON UK to Berlin where E.ON headquarters are based.

Second, in fulfillment, we can also see speed in responding to demand. For example, the replenishment, as well as production will be optimized according to supply and demand as quickly as possible. Besides, the fulfillment will commonly completed in one or two days, clothes flowed quickly, and without stopping, from factories to DCs to stores, where they were immediately put on the sales floor. Third, in design and manufacturing, we can find how Zara respond quickly to demand. Zara brought out new items continuously throughout the year, including both changes to existing garments and entirely new creations. The network of production had made design from conception through production and into the DC in as little as three weeks. Besides, Zara did not have to predict what would be selling six months, or even one month, in the future; it could continuously sense what customers wanted to buy and respond “on the fly.” All these operations reflect the speed-chasing and target-oriented nature of Zara business.

They have been impacted by not knowing when they would have proper access to the environments for development. Further, they have not been given proper expectations about their roles and expectations on deliverables. Thus, the Information Management has not understood and always been able to meet the expectations or the exact needs of the project. They need to plan for all the necessary resources to support and manage the brand new Operational Data Store (ODS), or data modeling and ETL development needs. The Information Management team only has two data modelers assigned to the project, two Extract-Transform-Load (ETL) developers and two Data Base Administrators. These resources are expected to stand up an ODS from scratch and include a core business application with three releases running in almost parallel, spanning several environments. In addition to adding other core vendor applications to the ODS. Now there are other technical support staff that are providing system architecture and networking support, but the six-staff mentioned are the ones needed to provide the data structures needed for standard operational reporting.

Compare the other retailers, logistics is an essential problem in e-commerce and e-business. Over country shipping and one-day shipping are more and more popular in the past years, like Amazon one day shipping, Amazon fresh keeps food in a good condition and deliver in a specific time. Retail leaders Amazon started same-day deliveries and drone shipping careers in 2015, but it hasn't expanded to all industry. The customer's satisfaction degree is closely connected with delivery ability, which makes the logistic problem more important.
