PROJECT MANAGEMENT CASE STUDY

Logistics Service Improvement Project

The logistics service improvement project case study is the base for the assignments for Weeks 1, 2, and 3. Wherever “country” is mentioned, substitute the name of the country you selected for the Walmart case study.

Overview

International Logistics Services (ILS), a firm with $5 billion in annual revenues, provides

inventory storage—that is, a place to store goods near the point of sale—and last-mile delivery services to customers worldwide. ILS’s values are based on the triple bottom line of profits, people, and planet (Slaper & Hall, 2011). The firm’s mission is to provide reliable, accurate, and consistent inventory management and local delivery services in a socially responsible manner. In addition to inventory storage, ILS also provides cross-dock services at strategic locationsaround the world. They also own fleets of trucks in each country to deliver goods directly to retail outlets or consumers. Thus, ILS offers their customers a unique value proposition as a specialized third-party logistics provider. ILS’s focus on providing logistics services to their own customers enables the latter to effectively and efficiently serve their consumers in a just-in-time manner with minimal stock-outs. ILS’s customers include Walmart, car dealerships, and other retailers that serve consumers directly.
