Blue Jean Supply Chain
I found this video on youTube.
Professor Mansour Javidan, Ph.D talks about supply chain considerations using blue jeans as a case study. This clip is 3 minutes long.
Professor Javidan gives an amusing illustration of some of the challenges that can occur in supply chain integration. 9 different countries, currencies, cultures to get Blue Jeans to your store. Each of these will have orders and payments that flow between companies, and across boarders.
This is where having a reliable standard of communication can create greater efficiencies in the supply chain system. It also illustrates why documenting your supply chain is essential for stability and finding and solving supply chain problems.
So this may not really be news to experienced supply chain integrators, but it is an interesting case study matterial.
