Ship Builders is a multinational enterprise that manufactures a wide range of ships including luxury yachts, passenger ferries, and cruise liners. Ship builders is headquartered in Baldwin County, Alabama, USA (post code: 36526) and also operates in Australia and the Philippines. Both the US and Australia manufacture and sell ships, whereas the Philippines only manufactures. The US has two manufacturing facilities, the first at its headquarters and the second in Jacksonville, Florida (post code: 32202), whereas Australia only has one manufacturing facility located in Henderson, Western Australia (post code: 6166), and the Philippines only has one manufacturing facility located in Balamban, Cebu (post code: 6041).

To procure goods from their vendors, Ship Builders use a company specific purchasing strategy. Their vendors supply them with goods that they need to use in the manufacturing process (e.g. fibreglass, timber) and also goods that they can sell straight to their customers (navigation systems).

To sell goods to their customers, the US has a country specific sales strategy, whereas Australia has a region specific sales strategy one for the east coast, and one for the west coast. The passenger ferries and cruise liners are sold directly to the company that will be using the ship. Whereas, the luxury yachts are sold to other companies, who then resells them. All the product lines can be sold in the US and Australia, however, the west coast of Australia does not sell luxury yachts.

The organization is seeking to replace its legacy software and configure an enterprise system.
