The members of the different teams worked together and stayed up after working hours and helped the startup to become successful. And Deploys (development and operations) is a hard task because the developers have to do the coding part and the operations deploy them.

“In an age of increasing specialization, it is rare for one person to be knowledgeable in all aspects of a complex task” (Thompson, 2015, p. 88). In this case, the first step was to understand our incoming demand. For this, I relied on information technology to generate numerous reports as well as the expertise of our sales team. It was at that point that the data was analyzed in conjunction with an inventory specialist. After we had the knowledge of what current product to inventory, we then needed to establish a set of guidelines of how to qualify products in the future. Inventory control management processes were instituted as well as a supply an auditing system. These steps included information from organizational members from our manufacturing group, planning department, and procurement department. Finally, we needed to understand and facilitate the storage and shipping of the product. We enlisted the help of our warehouse employees as well as our transportation department. This type of project included various levels of the organization and required a tremendous amount of communication. The project workload was enormous and also had a substantial financial investment associated with it. Instrumental in the project’s success was the team’s cohesion, diversity, and strategies deployed
Albatross Anchors usually do small batch production order due to plant antiquation and safety issues. With the limited manufacturing area and warehouse space the limited space to store raw materials is costing the company more money to produce the anchors. The time frame of production of order is very important to the retailers the less time to produce the more units can be produced to increase the production and bring down the cost of production. Speed in production is the new competitive edge in production as quick as the order is placed by the customer; the customer is expecting the manufacture to have it delivered to them. The way a manufacturing company can meet the challenge of speed by employing the tools and techniques that produce speed in design production and delivery tools like rapid prototyping, concurrent engineering, simulation and 3D modeling, build to order through lean and agile manufacturing, Six Sigma, outsourcing, third party logistics, cross docking. Companies must use them efficiently and effectively in order to gain a competitive advantage (Tompkins, 2002). The company must make technology changes it is the way of the future. Must understand the process of satisfying the customer and using effective communication in order to achieve and maintain speed, and continue through the supply chain to the customer and the supply chain to the suppliers with continuous flow of communication.

Zara’s IT expenditures are low by fashion industry standards. The spectacular benefits reaped by Zara from the deployment of technology have resulted from targeting technology investment at the points in the value chain where it has the greatest impact, and not from the sheer magnitude of the investment.

Ubisoft has different production, marketing, administrative and Internet teams in different countries. As each department uses different IT systems, managers have an initial problem of whether the IT centres should be centralised or decentralised. Centralisation has its advantages as it offers a rapid system response, it can save money through avoidance of duplicated activities and offers better security. Its disadvantages include if the central unit fails then the entire system will collapse and they might lose touch with the goals of major IT departments.

Besides, the fulfillment will commonly completed in one or two days, clothes flowed quickly, and without stopping, from factories to DCs to stores, where they were immediately put on the sales floor. Third, in design and manufacturing, we can find how Zara respond quickly to demand. Zara brought out new items continuously throughout the year, including both changes to existing garments and entirely new creations. The network of production had made design from conception through production and into the DC in as little as three weeks. Besides, Zara did not have to predict what would be selling six months, or even one month, in the future; it could continuously sense what customers wanted to buy and respond “on the fly.” All these operations reflect the speed-chasing and target-oriented nature of Zara business.
