PLEASE FULLY DISCUSS IT THANK YOU <3 EcoWorld is a manufacturer of enclosed, decorative environments. They are composed of a hand-blown glass sphere filled with water, one fish, and some aquatic plants. The fish and plants work together so that the system will continue as long as it has light. The spheres have become a popular holiday gift so sales skew towards November/December. EcoWorld, located in Seattle, Washington, wants to globalize its process. This year, the European country of Latervia, renowned for its cheap and expert glass blowing, has lifted its export tariff. EcoWorld has also identified another European country, Rombia, as a new market because it has no import fees. Raw materials will be transported via aircraft and the final product will be delivered by aircraft and then truck. You are hired by EcoWorld to assist them in developing a global manufacturing and distribution plan. Create a report that includes the following elements:

  1. Analyze the order winners and order qualifiers that can lead to competitive advantage.
  2. Explain how expanding the global supply chain network might affect the total quality management of EcoWorld. Compare possible changes against the principles of TQM and identify potential costs of quality.
  3. About 5% of delivered products are spoiled upon delivery with either the fish or plants dying, or both, due to sensitivity to changes in temperatures, which is a major financial and marketing problem for the company. Develop a brief Six Sigma plan to fix this issue.
