Chapter 15: Product Development and Supply Chain Management

COVID 19 health crisis that we all are experiencing is giving us a healthy dose of reality to understand the importance of this chapter. Some pharmaceutical companies are racing to develop vaccines and drugs for this epidemic, and others are racing against the clock to produce ventilators and other critical equipment to deal with this public health crisis. Retailers are struggling to move supplies and fill the shelves to meet our needs: food, medicine, toilet papers, sanitizers, and the list can go on. Government agencies at all levels are watching and trying to protect against so-called entrepreneurs that are moving supplies to geographies where they can capitalize and earn more dollars.

From your perspective, choose one of the businesses around you in this crisis of COVID 19 that you think is not doing a good job in delivering the product or services that you are used to. Based on your reading of section 15-7 Supply chain management, identify what do you think the problem is and how you would solve it?
