Abstract:
|
This case deals with the problems experienced by Nike, the leading manufacturer
of shoes and other sports equipment in the world, in implementing a new software
application to streamline its supply chain and manufacturing processes. Nike
sourced its products from manufacturing facilities located in the developing
Asian countries like Taiwan and Korea.
Consequently, the company had a complicated supply chain system where orders
were placed by retailers six months ahead of delivery dates. These orders had to
be forwarded to the factories in Asia and the final product had to be shipped
back to the retailers.

Issues:
» To appreciate the importance of an effective supply chain system, specially
for a manufacturing company operating in a highly competitive and trend- driven
industry
» To understand the importance of integrating new systems with legacy systems
and processes in the organization for their effective functioning
