Question

1. The Ponsse put out the requirements for a new information system to improve the productivity in wood production and procurement chain as in the lecture slide 1.11. The requirements set by the Ponsse include: 1) Estimate the demand, 2) Create cutting plan, 3) Produce a map of logging area and working instructions, 4) Email, 5) GPS positioning, 6) 3D simulator training.

a. From the provided requirements, what is the fundamental concept that is reflected in the Ponsse requirements?

b. Where does each requirement from six Ponsse requirements above belong to the organization, management, or technology dimension? Explain why the requirements you assigned should belong to one of three dimensions.

c. What requirements for the management dimension would you add to measure the performances of wood production and overall business operation?

PLEASE KINDLY SOLVE AND SEND TO MY EMAIL ADDRESS, NO PLAGIARISM MY SCHOOL ALWAYS CHECK, I DONT WANT A COPIED WORK. THANK YOU

Answer 1

a.

The fundamental concept is obviously a supply chain system. The requirement of estimating the demand and creating a cutting plan point that the system is a demand-based supply chain system.

b.

Organization - Since the job of the organization dimension is to create long term plans for the company so Estimating the demand and Creating a cutting plan is in organization dimension. Organization dimension will want to communicate with the management dimension so Email is also under this dimension.

Management - Managers are supposed to set objectives and develop people so Producing a map of logging area and working instructions and 3D simulator training are in the management dimension. Managers also communicate with their workers so Email will also be in management dimension

Technology - Technicians are supposed to maintain and install pieces of technology in the supply chain so in a way, Email(implementation if an internal email system is required), GPS positioning(implementation and maintenance), and 3D training simulator(implementation and maintenance) can come under technology.

c.

• You can add a reporting system for workers using which the amount of produce can be monitored by the manager.
• Data science has enhanced the way data is monitored. There can be a data science application that monitors production.
• Blockchain technology also has a great effect on supply chain management systems.
