GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT21.What are all the issues here, from both CJI’s and Heavey’s perspectives, that need to be researched by Mr. Ashby? Whether or not the Heavey Pumps would guarantee the delivery of sufficient pumps in a month to one of the CJI warehouses is an issue to be discussed. The quality history of the Heavey bilge pump also needs to be assessed by having a performance record of the pumps. The possibility forthe CJI to make the pumps in-house requires be addressed considering the initial capital required,the need for extra labor and the short duration given before the commencement of the contract (Abbasi et al, 2016). 2.Should CJI continue to use Heavey to supply pumps, should they make them in-house, should they consider one of the other suppliers, or should they do some combination of these alternatives? Discuss the advantages, disadvantages, and risks of each of these alternatives. They should consider other suppliers which will cut down the extra expenses that would be incurred during the manufacturing. One disadvantage is that the profits that would be got from making the pumps in-house will be reduced due to the need to purchase them from suppliers (Abbasi et al, 2016). It is risky to purchase them since CJI has never used these firms before hence do not know about the quality of the pumps. 3.How can CJI assure continued contract compliance and additional contract business from Great Lakes in the future? By making in-house pumps which they are sure of the constant supply and the quality. 1.If you were in Jeff’s position, what would you have done to preserve relationships?
