Financial Management for the Supply Chain Professional – Video Critique

A critique is an analytical essay on a video, in which you give your opinion on the aesthetic quality of the video and then give your reasons for your opinion. Do not limit yourself to reacting to the video (“I loved it !”) and do not use generic terms like “incredible,” “wonderful,” “marvelous,” etc. Unlike a review, you assume that the reader has already seen the video; you do not need to give an extensive plot summary; you do not need to hide plot information so as not to spoil the surprise of the viewer, and you do need to be consistently analytical and critical.

Your first paragraph should summarize the film’s plot and act as a transition to the analytical part of the essay.

The second paragraph should explain how the Supply Chain concepts for the week were depicted by the film and why the depiction was or was not meaningful. What Supply Chain lessons were learned? What suggestions might you give to the role players to effectuate different and perhaps more satisfying (or even prosperous) results?

Logistic Clusters: Excelling the Logistic Management of Coyote Logistics’ Operations in Northern Europe

The following report discusses logistic cluster (LC) theory and then applies it to the case of Croatian wind turbine producer KONČAR KET Group, through their subsidiary KONČAR – Renewable Energy Sources Ltd. and KONČAR – Power Plant and Electric Traction Engineering Inc. (Abbreviated KONČAR throughout the report), which commissioned Coyote Logistics Ltd. to conduct an analysis of the benefits of LCs as well as the setup and discussion of KONČAR’s new supply chain (SC) operations based in the LC of Øresund. KONČAR is advised to establish their manufacturing SC in Øresund owing to the high degree of logistic cluster benefits (LCB) associated with especially favourable factor circumstances and a robust network of nodes within connected and supporting sectors. The latter combination of a strong logistics cluster and a wind-mill manufacturing industrial cluster demonstrates that Øresund would not only be the biggest LC for KONČARs’ nordic supply chain operations, but also one of the top LC sites in the global SC of KONČAR.
