Hello everyone,
My name is Alex, I'm practicing this case study about helping the client to choose the supplier among 5 provided suppliers. Given the suppliers' information about: Shipping fee, Min order quantity, Total monthly and available capacity per product type
Is there a name for this specific case and what should I do to solve and present it?
Hi Alex,
This seems like a very general set-up, and the solution to the case would depend a lot on the specific detail. In general, try thinking about the client in this case, and what vendor they would prefer in light of their needs. For instance, is the client a smaller company that would prefer a smaller minimum order quantity, or do they want to order so much supply that the min order quantity becomes moot? Does the capacity become a constraint at any point? What kinds of products is the client looking to supply? And so on (of course, in the actual case you would lay out these answers in a much more structured way).
Happy to go through the specifics and practice this case with you if you like, feel free to send me a message.
Hi Alex,
I'm not going to lie, I'm extremely confused by your question!
You have a case and have laid out the details of the case….but at the same time you don't know the name of the case?
In terms of helping you solve + present it, this can't be done unless we actually have the case in front of us…this is the point of practicing casing live (with preploungers and coaches)!
Might we know why are you curious about the name of the case? Since you already have the case with you - what additional benefit do you wish to seek from the name? Is this a PrepLounge case your are referring to or an external one? Happy to discuss over DM on how to solve it if you can share more details.
Thanks, Sofia.
