Dear Students

To do the Case study 2 assignment:

 Please open link below in your web browser:
https://hbsp.harvard.edu/import/1031444

 Log in to your account

 Purchase the case study “Apple INC.: Managing A GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN”
 Read the case study and answer the following questions:
Case study questions:
1- Review Apple‘s Supply Chain for its iPhone product. What differences set it
apart from competitors?
2- What are Apple’s key advantages in how it manages its supply chain
operations? Support your analysis with data from the case.
3- What are the challenges that Apple faces in the future, and what are the
implications for its supply chain?
4- As Jessica Grant, What recommendation would you make to the company’s
vice-president, Phillip Duchene, and why?
5- Suggest a mathematical model for “transportation” to find the minimum
cost of transportation.
My suggestions:

 Start your paper with an Abstract (Analysis) for this case study.
 Answer these questions one by one. At first print the question and answer it, again print the
question and answer it and then print the question and then answer it.
 If you use a table and chart or … do not forget to number.
 Do not forget the conclusion.
 Do not forget citations if you have any references.

Good Luck!
