At Hewlett-Packard (HP), billions of dollars of product are being shipped - from computers and diagnostic devices to toner cartridges each year. Customer orders come in 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Nearly 16,000 different products are requested daily and have to be shipped from six different warehouses which are located 30 or more miles apart. It often takes weeks to get the products into the customer’s hand. This is a serious problem if customers have contracts with HP stating deliveries are to be made in three (3) business days, or less. That means that from the time a customer calls the HP customer service line, they will have their replacement part and be back in operation within 72 hours or less, no matter where that customer is located. On average, delivery to customers takes 6+ days. It is imperative that HP guarantee for delivery of products and services are followed to protect their image, secure its position in the market place, increase its competitive advantage and its…

- Statement of the Problem and Solutions Rollin King and Herb Kelleher started Southwest Airlines in 1971 with this idea: if they could take airline passengers where they want to go, on time, at the lowest possible price, and have a good time while doing it, people would love to fly their airline. The result? No other airline in the industry's history has enjoyed the customer loyalty and extended profitability for which Southwest is now famous. The company now flies more than 3,400 times each day to over 64 destinations across the United States There's more to the story, however, than making promises and hoping to fulfill them. A large part of Southwest Airlines' success lies in its ability to plan long-term capacity to better match demand, as also improving the utilization of its fleet by turning around an aircraft at the gate faster than its competitors. Capacity at Southwest is measured in seat miles, and even a single minute reduction in aircraft turnaround time system wide means…arrow_forwardIn the context of business continuity planning, discuss the concept of risk assessment and its role in identifying potential threats to an organization.arrow_forwardWind Tunnel Testing – Carbon Bike Frames As an equipment provider for several Olympic cyclists, Carbon Bike Frames (CBF) operates a very expensive wind tunnel facility near San Diego, CA. The wind tunnel is used to find the best compromise between ergonomics and aerodynamics for the cyclist. Presently, more and more cyclists are interested in CBF’s services, so the company considers building a second facility. However, given the enormous costs of the wind tunnel, they also want to explore a more effective use of the current facility. An initial data collection reveals that: The standard fitting time for a cyclist is 2h. On average, the wind tunnel is used for 7 fitting procedures a day (new customers or customers who want a refit). The wind tunnel is available 24 hours a day. CBF offers a free second session should the customer not be entirely satisfied with their bike fit (internally also known as “rework sessions”). About 2 out of 5 customers come back for such a “refit,” which…arrow_forward
