Logistics Processes Business Case Study 2 LSP has decided to begin selling its windows to service the building trade across Canada. They have chosen All-Trade Supplies (ATS), a national retailer that requires large volumes delivered to their distribution centres located in Calgary AB and Moncton NB. LSP will be required to ship to ATS in TL quantity to both locations and the CEO has asked that you source an TL provider(s). The CEO has also reiterated their commitment in their company vision is to remain ethical and sustainable and has asked that this also form a part of the decision-making process. In discussion with the CEO, you have discovered that the LSP company does not currently have a formal ethics policy. You recommend that this be considered and agree to provide some guidance on what an ethics policy should include. You have been asked specifically to: 1. Detail the factors that you would use in comparing truckload companies against each other and develop a proposed weight or ranking of the factors according to what you consider to be their level of importance in selecting a new carrier. 2. Consider and discuss the potential areas that a new ethical purchasing policy needs to address. These include: 1) why you feel that any company should have a corporate ethical policy for dealing with vendors, 2) what ethical criteria should guide decisions on ethical conduct, and 3) how you feel it would best be implemented. The CEO is not requesting you develop the actual policy at this time, rather consider the specific areas and discuss each in detail
