INDUCTION OF LULU HYPERMARKET

Effective supply chain management can be described as the efficient utilization of methods and processes that integrate manufacturers, suppliers, and distribution channels in a way that delivers product and/or services at the right time, in the right quantities, and at the needed location to minimize costs and maximize profit and customer satisfaction (Simchi-Levi, Kaminsky, & Simchi-Levi, 2005).

Effective supply chain management can provide an important competitive advantage for a business marketer, resulting in improved communication and involvement among members of the chain, increased motivation, and decreased costs. Tracking the movement of and demand for components used to manufacture a product across a variety of potential and actual suppliers, provides insight and the ability to respond instantly to shortages, surpluses, and changes in market conditions.

Supply chains represent the procurement, production and distribution activities of an organisation.

In the poem, "The Groundhog," the language of the poem reflects the changing observations and feelings of the speaker as he considers the transformation of the dead groundhog. With diction, imagery, and tone, along with the speaker’s point of view, the speaker reveals his thought that the world is in steady change; changes in which things in the end disintegrate, or vanish. The speaker feels so passionate over the proceeding with changes of the groundhog in light of the fact that he passionately hates change. It makes him feel that he is not in control of himself, or anything in particular. The author utilizes radiant and creative expression to portray imagery that is being contrasted.

Retail super-giant Wal-Mart has fought its way to becoming the world's largest company. Wal-Mart’s legendary supply chain technology has allowed them to break the three-day barrier that some economists in the eighties felt that it was unbreakable. In other words, Wal-Mart is often able to replenish items on the Wal-Mart shelf in less than three days – not from the central warehouse to the shelf, but from the manufacturer to the shelf. With quick and reliable 2-day turn around, Wal-Mart is able to maintain lower levels of inventory and still meet customer demand. These lower inventory levels result in either a reduced floor plan with lower carrying costs and lower interest expense – or a greater diversity of products on the store shelves.

The “bullwhip” effect was coined in by Proctor and Gamble (P&G) when the company experienced extensive demand amplification for their diaper products (Lee et .al, 1997). The bullwhip effect is a phenomenon in the supply chain whereby unpredictable elements introduced by human behaviour in the lower part of the chain becomes more pronounced the higher up the chain they move (Baugher, 2012). By synchronizing the supply chain the bullwhip effect can be eliminated.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze and discuss the results of my assessments from the Prentice Hall Self-Assessment Library. Three sections of this personality test were completed: personality insights, working with others, and life in organizations. The five factor model was used to help me understand my behavior. After completing the personality assessments, it has been determined that I require improvement in areas such that include interpersonal communication, and leadership skills. I have determined how what I have learned from the personality tests about organizational behavior can be applied in the workplace to make me a better employee, co-worker, or future manager.
