and services. Founded in 1937, Futronics Inc. has been providing
reliable communications services for well over half a century. Due
to a sharp increase in competition, flattened sales and external
economic conditions, Futuronics is implementing a corporate
overhead reduction program. The proposal is to replace the
company’s central office stores by outside vendors and presents
recommendations.
Requirements: In a two-three page paper, discuss

mechanism to make ordering easy, efficiently, quickly and at a cost
savings. The vendors chosen must supply the current 500 products in
the warehouse. If outsourcing is not the chosen action suggest
strategies can be taken to reduce costs in-house?
