- 3. Know Key differences among the 4 Supply Chain Designs according to different factors. Determine the appropriate supply chain design based on the scenario given.
- 4. Know Key differences among the 4 Supply Chain Designs according to different factors. Determine the appropriate supply chain design based on the scenario given. Summary : In Terms of Lead-Time / Response Time
- 5. Know Key differences among the 4 Supply Chain Designs according to different factors. Determine the appropriate supply chain design based on the scenario given. Summary : In Terms of Level of Customization No Customization Low Level of Customization High Level of Customization Fully Customized
- 6. Know Key differences among the 4 Supply Chain Designs according to different factors. Determine the appropriate supply chain design based on the scenario given. Summary : In Terms of Production Costs Production Costs is dependent on the Level of Customization. No Customization (BTS) = Production Costs is low. Because products are standardized. Fully Customized (ETO) = Production Costs is high. Because products/parts are unique.

- 12. Key Learning Objectives (P07 & P08) Know what a forward picking area is and how it helps. Forward Picking Area functions as a warehouse within the warehouse. This means that the most popular SKUs are stored an area in small amounts, so that order picking can be concentrated within a relatively small area which helps to reduce unproductive travel by order pickers. FAST-MOVING SKUs
- 13. Know the three types of profits.
- 14. Able to Perform ABC Analysis. All Items that are Classified as A should be placed in the forward picking area. WARNING:- REMEMBER to Sort the Picking Frequency/Year from Largest to Smallest Number before Classification of Items.

- 21. Key Learning Objectives (P09 & P11) Know the various factors that affect the supply chain network design.
- 22. Understand the classification of facilities under strategic factor (offshore, contributor, etc)
- 23. Comparison of 6 distribution network designs according to different factors. 1 = Best, 5 = Worse
- 24. Comparison of 6 distribution network designs according to different factors. (contd) +2 = Best, -2 = Worse
- 25. Key Learning Objectives (P12 & P13) Able to describe the environmental impacts from the supply chain activities.
- 26. Able to explain how the green practices (Rs, JIT, etc.) may help in greening each part of the supply chain.
- 27. Know what is carbon footprint and how to calculate. A carbon footprint is a measure of the impact of the supply chain activities on the environment and climate change. It is commonly used to describe the total amount of CO2 and other greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for which an individual or organization is responsible. For example, the carbon footprint of a can of food is the total amount of carbon emissions from production, transportation, consumption and disposal of the single can of food. Types of footprint: Organizational/ Product Performance Metric: Total supply chain carbon footprint = sum of emissions from energy and fuel consumption and process related emissions = Plan Carbon Emissions + Source + Make + Deliver + Return
