Both the operations manager and the warehouse manager have been impressed with your argument in making a case of supply chain management and quality management within the company. The operations manager in your department wants you to conduct a formal presentation to him and the rest of the floor staff to highlight the benefits of supply chain management. He has over 30 years of operational management experience with the company, and he is skeptical of any change. He has never used any type of supply chain management techniques or tools, but found your discussion on supply chain interesting. He would also like you to provide a recommendation on how to improve the current forecasting process and management of contracts for your company. This is your opportunity to really pitch the advantages of implementing supply chain management and for improving the current forecasting and contractual processes within your company.

Develop a compelling presentation to the operations manager that will explore the benefits of implementing supply chain management on his floor. Be sure to include what you learned from the game module.

LP1 Assignment: The Political, Legal and Technical Environment

Directions

Consider a company that is operating within the NAFTA trade block. What are some of the political, legal and technical dimensions that it faces in relation to its business operations? You can choose a specific company if you think that will be helpful, but it is sufficient to make general observations. Identify three issues in each category (i.e., 3 political issues, 3 legal issues and 3 technical). Let the information presented in chapter 2 of the Luthans and Doh text guide you, but do some independent research as well.

Write a one to two page paper summarizing your findings. The written summary should be double-spaced using 12-point Times New Roman font. You will need to cite your sources of information (at least three) at the end of your paper. Though the paper need not be in APA format, the citations at the end do. One of those three citations can be the Luthans and Doh text.
