1..What are Croc 's Core competencies Based from what I read, a core competency of Croc 's is it highly flexible supply chain. Rather than implementing traditional industry practices of retail distributors to place bulk orders for each seasons inventory several months in advance, and this method had a severe limitation of little ability to adjust to changes during the season. Croc 's went the other route and didn’t place these limitations on its carriers. This enabled the company to build additional product to fulfill new orders quickly within the selling season. Additionally, this permits Crocs to respond to unexpectedly high demands efficiently. Croc 's also an effective way of promoting their products which is another core competency …show more content…

Based from the text, Croc 's shoes was able to address every limitations faced by the production or supply chain. So I am just going to provide suggestions. It seems like the company did not completely think everything through since they appeared to just makes adjustments as business demands. I think moving forward, the opposite should be done. starting from their supply chain, leading up to production. I think the company should plan and forecast production by having every aspect diligently. They such as much as production should be based on demand, they should equally based production based on how sales was the previous year. Thought out for instance as they should consider cost, efficiency of customer service and responsiveness simultaneously. Secondly another way to effectively tackle sudden increase in demand, shortages of machines and more, each production center should have provisions for such possibilities rather than get caught off guard, For instance looking at the length of time it takes to receive new molding machines. Putting in perspective, even though delivery was dropped to 6 six in the business world, and especially for a booming business like Croc 's, time is money. Speed and efficiency are

    In the effort to lock supplies of limited products, the company was seen ordering enormous quantities in advance. Another symptom of the problem was the artificially inflated projections. Other companies had noted the flaws in their projections, but Cisco failed to notice. This was because there existed other Competitors in the market that compromised Cisco’s projections since customers would turn to suppliers who would deliver the products first. In addition, the triple and double ordering of inventory without contemplating on the accuracy of their projections was a great symptom that squeezed on the supply of goods and bloated the demand

  • Value Chain at Crocs, Inc.

    To get started, we first need to understand what Crocs' value chain is and how that process plays a role in the strategic direction of the company. The authors of our text, views the value chain as "the entire series of organizational work activities that add value at each step, from raw materials to finished product. In its entirety, the value chain can encompass supplier's suppliers to the customer's customers"(Robbins & Coulter, 2009, p.430). At Crocs, the entire series of organization work activities may be broken down even further using Porter's value chain model of viewing a manufacturing (or service) primary and secondary activities as a "system made up of subsystems, each with inputs, transformation processes and outputs"(Ifm.eng.cam.ac.uk, 2011).

In this case, both strategies could still have been practical but with the customers’ needs in mind. Additionally, increasing production efficiency in retention of current business strategy could also have boosted its revenues by reducing wastage or idle time. Considering not all countries move at the same technological level, the company could still have invested in supplying the outdated products to places such as India or Africa. However, as the CEO there is a need to pursue the best strategy by focusing on what works our best but still have the customers ' mind at heart (Xerox Maps Business Service Strategy,
