Learning Activity #2

Please select a business in any of the following industries:

  • hotel and hospitality
  • retail teenage and young adult clothing and fashion (such as The Gap or Abercrombie, etc)
  • consumer electronics manufacturing (Sony, Samsung, Bose, LG, etc.)
  • Specialty retail grocery (Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, etc.)
  • Home Improvement (Home Depot, Lowes, etc.)

Develop a list of 10-15 KPIs –related to procurement and supply chain only– that companies in the entire industry will consider when they develop their business and strategic plans. Through our discussions, let’s try to refine the lists through the next week.

Note: This may require a little outside research into an industry or trade publication or a detailed search on-line.
