Please I need help with all these questions
Q 5. The following data were obtained from a recent quarterly report of XYZ Company (in millions). Calculate the cash-to-cash cycle time for XYZ Company. $ 8028 Net revenue Cost of revenue $ 6580 Inventories: S 126 Production materials S 224 Work-in-process and finished goods S 2689 Accounts receivable Accounts payable S 4326 Q6. (bonus 0.5 points) Obtain from the internet the current data needed to calculate cash-to-cash cycle time for Dell Computer, Gateway and Cisco Systems. Calculate the measures for each company and critically evaluate the differences in how the companies operate their supply chains. Questions 7-9 refer to the Ajax case available in ERP slides: Q7. Suppose that the peanut butter for the daily peanut butter and jelly sandwiches is delivered once per week. Further suppose that the invoice for peanut butter is paid immediately. What would be the costs and benefits of delivering monthly, using VMI (Vendor Managed Inventory), where payment is made only after sales of sandwiches by Ajax? Q8. Continuing Question 7 above, what information linkages might be established from the Ajax ERP systems to the peanut butter supplier to make the VMI work? What would the information links be if the payment to the supplier was made based on sales of sandwiches? What else would need to be included? Q9. Ajax has established a new sandwich shop format for airports and train stations. Here, the sandwiches are only made from a specially made, long, individual loaf of bread. But the innovation is that the sandwiches are not made ahead of time in large batches. Instead, a few of each variety of sandwich, are made at a time, in the shop, with the result being a better ability to exactly match supply to demand. How might an ERP system help plan replenishment orders for sandwich ingredients following a move to a JIT system as described above? Q7.
