Critically think about, describe, and discuss the potential impacts of disruptive change

Assuming you are the Operations Manager of Koda Ltd. (https://www.kodaonline.com), a company that specialises in wooden furniture manufacturing, your objective for assessment tasks 1, 2, and 3 is to analyse Koda Ltd.’s wooden furniture product line. The company currently operates several factories in Malaysia and Vietnam. Specific to this assessment task, due to increasing demand for the product, the CEO decided to expand manufacturing to Indonesia. To accommodate the expansion, a new manufacturing facility is proposed to be built in Java Integrated Industrial and Ports Estate, East Java, Indonesia (https://www.jiipe.com/en/home/industri_jiipe). The CEO has asked you to propose an updated supply chain and value-adding activities for the manufacturing of the wooden furniture product line in the new proposed manufacturing facility. Koda Ltd. is listed on the Stock Exchange of Singapore. You will find additional information, e.g., annual reports, regarding Koda Ltd. on the Singapore Exchange’s website (https://investors.sgx.com/_security-types/stocks/BJZ). Create a report in response to the CEO’s request on the operations and supply chain management aspects of the manufacturing shift to Indonesia. The supply chain design/analysis report is to address the following: (a) Discuss the application of the digital value chain concept (note that this refers to the digital transformation of upstream and downstream value-adding activities) to the product’s supply chain for the proposed new facility. (b) Discuss management issues concerning supply management (i.e., procurement management), logistics, quality, production, inventory, and supply chain information systems in the proposed new manufacturing facility. (c) Critically think about, describe, and discuss the potential impacts of disruptive change, e.g., emerging Industry 4.0 technologies (artificial intelligence, blockchain, the Internet of Things, 3D printing, just to name some), sustainable development, circular economy, and shifting geo-political power and alignments on the product’s supply chain. （You need to do this part only） (d) Draw a new multi-tier product’s supply chain map (including materials, information, and financial flows) for the proposed new manufacturing facility. Please attention Critically think about, describe, and discuss the potential impacts of disruptive change, e.g., emerging Industry 4.0 technologies (artificial intelligence, blockchain, the Internet of Things, 3D printing, just to name some), sustainable development, circular economy, and shifting geo-political power and alignments on the product’s supply chain.
