Case study $-$ team assignment

$$ Shape$1$

Background

Our fictional case study company, Flour Power Organics, sells organic, artisan flour and baking supplies online. Delivering quality baking foods & supplies at a good value is the mission of the small warehouse owned by Nina & Pisha. They started the online venture in Jan $2019.$ Despite increase in sales over the last $12$ months, the expenses incurre over the year have resulted in negative EBIT $($earnings before income taxes$)$ for the first year Critical to the quality and variety of the products they supply it is essential they manage their operations at the lowest cost possible. Fortunately, as part of their business plan they developed few key performance measures and have been collecting data from day one of their business.

The Problem

To ensure the right product is delivered at the right time to the right customer is the primary focus of a distribution business. May sound simple but there are several underlying processes that occur to meet the above$-$mentioned objective. During the annual budget assessment Nina & Pisha identified a few areas where the cost exceeded than expected. They believe in data driven decisions, however since they are occupied performing several roles to keep the business running, they have not been able to dive into the data to analyze trends that will help them improve their business.

Oportunity

Y our team has been selected to perform a "Business Process Improvement' exercise using the data spreadsheet $($prorided separately$).$
