Once upon a time, in a land far away, Dell held very little inventory. A computer was not built until it was ordered. This was a highly centralized supply chain operation. By contrast, Wal-Mart has a highly decentralized supply chain, with regional warehouses from which store managers select specific items to stock.

Required Elements of the Supply Chain Trade-Off Assessment:

• Choose an organization that is neither Dell nor Wal-Mart;
• Do you best to determine how its supply chain operates by defining the nature of its separate functions (For example, purchasing, inventory management, transportation, or customer service);
• Explain your reasoning as to which functions in the organization’s supply chain should be centralized, and which should be decentralized.

Required Formatting of Supply Chain Trade-Off Assessment:

• This report should be double spaced, 12-point font, and two to three pages in length excluding the title page and reference page;
• Title page;
• Write in the third person
• Use APA formatting for in-text citations and reference page. You are expected to paraphrase and not use quotes. Deductions will be taken when quotes are used and found to be unnecessary;

NOTE: You might consider 4-5 SC functions to be effective.

Some may be a blend of centralized and decentralized – be sure to explain why carefully
