can anyone help me with just question number 1?
Making Decisions with Data Analytics: J\&G You are a procurement manager for packing materials at the consumer goods company J\&G. You are responsible for ensuring efficient procurement of packing materials with high quality for hair care-related products, including shampoos and conditioners. J\&G markets a set of shampoo and conditioner packed in two different bottles, under 5 different brands. Each brand is positioned at different price points and produced in 4 different pack sizes. Thus, there are a total of 40 packing material SKUs ( 5 shampoo brands 4 pack sizes +5 conditioner brands 4 pack sizes). Packing material design for each brand is distinctly different to resonate with its positioning in the market and has tight specifications. Each brand has a separate filling line, and all filling lines are operated continuously. J\&G has been working toward a lean inventory system and does not hold inventory of more than 4 shifts. The system necessitates receiving supplies for each packing material SKU from vendors each day. The average number of packing materials received for each SKU equates to 10,000 bottles per day. With increasing cost pressure from its retail channel, J\&G has been working toward a lean organization. As a result, your team's size has been reduced from 6 people to 3 people. You are wondering how to continue working toward your team's quality performance measures with such a small team. Case Questions 1. Specify what you need to do to ensure quality standards are met for the procured material? 2. What factors do you need to consider in order to form a sourcing strategy for the packing materials? Specify the factors
