Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Key management decisions include the following considerations:
Warehousing: How many warehouses do we need? Where should we locate our warehouses?

Materials Handling: How should we move products within our facilities? How can we best balance efficiency with effectiveness?

Inventory Control: How much inventory should we keep on hand? How should we store and distribute it? What about costs such as taxes and insurance?

Order Processing: How should we manage incoming and outgoing orders? What would be most efficient for our customers and suppliers?

Customer Service: How can we serve our customers most effectively? How can we reduce waiting times and facilitate interactions?

Transportation: How can we move products most efficiently through the supply chain? What are the key tradeoffs?

Security: How can we keep products safe from vandals, theft, and accidents every step of the way?

And fragile or perishable products, of course, require even more considerations.
