Supply Chain Management

This report conducts an environmental scan of Target, one of the subsidiary brands of Wesfarmers. The report finds that the Company faces two challenges in forms of ineffective positioning of products and the affected supply chain management. Few solutions are being recommended to address these challenges. Ineffective positioning of products can be mitigated by building up new and small stores, and reducing the number of items in its portfolio. The supply chain management can be improved with technologies such as RFID and Cloud-based software. Moreover, there is a need for an effective synchronisation between the supply chain and marketing teams. This will help know the market demands and generate appropriate supply of merchandise.
