Bob Bristol, your boss at Cruise International, Inc., just called to tell you that he was
impressed with your progress thus far in familiarizing yourself with operations at CII-
both the strategic details pertaining to its mission, competitive priorities, etc. and the
specific details concerning its services and processes. He tells you that, with all the
buzz about supply chain management (SCM) that you hear these days, CII is actively
interested in exploring how different SCM concepts and techniques could be used in
their operations. Maintaining an adequate, assured supply of a variety of mechanical
equipment, entertainment equipment, retail merchandise, food products, and supplies
for maintaining the ship is critical to CII. Meghan Willoughby, Chief Purser aboard the
Friendly Seas I, has a couple of specific assignments that you will work on later. But for
now, Meghan would like a concise research report for the top management team
addressing SCM issues relevant to CII.
"Leila Jensen liked your write-up on the CII service package and delivery system.
Meghan Willoughby wants you to prepare a similar report addressing SCM issues
relevant to CII. Senior Administrators at CII are actively involved in exploring how SCM
concepts and techniques could be adopted in their operations. Prepare a concise report
addressing the specific questions that Meghan has put together for you. I look forward
to receiving your report, which I am sure will provide insight for SC applications at CII."
