...Allied Office Products Case Write-up Allied office products have two different divisions, each of these were treated as profit centers. One of them is the Form Manufacturing division, which basically involved with producing business forms and specialty paper products. The other one is Total Forms Control activity division, which is a program of business forms inventory management services. The industry value chain is: TreesPulpPaperForms manufacturing Forms salesTFC Customer Purchasing Manager Customer receiving Forms end users The TCF chain is: Storage and inventory financing Requisitioning Stock selection and pick-pack Order entry—billing Desk top delivery Freight In terms of the profitability performance, the Business Forms Division in 1988 earned a 20 percent ROI, but returns have been dropping for several years. In 1992, Allied Office Products has annual sales of $900 million and sales from TFC were only about $60 million. TFC profitability was suffering in October 1992 and it was projected to earn an ROI of only 6 percent for 1992. Porter’s 5 forces: * Supplies: Forms and other paper products are commodity products and there are a lot of supplies in the market. Low power * Customers: Since form products are commodity products and therefore customers are sensitive to the price change. The switching cost is low and they have many options to choose from, such as Staples and Office Depot. While TCF division just started up, competition in this...

...Uitwerking Case 8-1 Allied Office Products Door: Joey de Klerk (481002) en Roel van Berkel (468870) Introductie Allied Office Products is a large corporation that builds its reputation on its annual sales of $900 million in business forms and specialty in paper products. Its paper products vary from envelopes to greeting cards and writing papers. Allied has incorporated a new program called Total Forms Controls (TFC) for its clients enabling Allied to separate this business forms division to handle client accounts. TFC provides services of warehousing and distribution, inventory control and forms usage reporting. Furthermore Allied offers several other services such as “pick-pack and desk top delivery” to enhance their business operations. Allied clients vary from small to large and all use their distribution center. Allied has a total of 13 distribution centers thus giving them an increase in the services. Algemene gegevens Externe omgeving van de organisatie Niet veel informatie over de externe omgeving van de organisatie.

...The following is the case study completed in regards to Allied Office Products. Currently Allied Office Products charges customers a flat fee on product cost. This case study was performed in order to see if Allied Office Products should switch and implement the Sales Based Pricing System. “ABC” based service costs for the TFC business were calculated and Total Cost/Expense were found to be $1,550,000 Storage, $1,801,000 Requisition Handling, $ 761,000 Basic Warehouse Stock Selection, $734,000 “Pick-up” Activity, $612,000 Data entry, and $250,000 Desk Top Delivery for a total of $5,708,000. After finding the Total Cost we were able to divide that by Activity Driver Units to get the Activity Based Costs. Those costs were found to be $4.43 Storage, $5.81 Requisition Handling, $0.98 Basic Warehouse Stock Selection, $1.05 “Pick-up” Activity, $0.79 Data entry, and $29.41 Desk Top Delivery. Using the ABC Method we were able to calculate a Service Fee Amount of $8,486 for Customer A, and $23,330 for Customer B. Subtracting these totals from the Service Fee Total of $16100 found from the old method shows that Customer A was over charged $7,614 and Customer B was under charged $7,230. It would be fair then to adjust the Service Fee’s charged to each customer to the Totals found using the ABC method. Customer A was found to cost Allied Office Products less money to service, but they were also a smaller source of potential growth for the company. Customer B was found to use...

...Gardner CMGT/410 Project Proposal The company will be conducting training called Allied Inventory, which will give managers the opportunity to develop hands-on experience with inventory control via the newest computer platforms which can be potentially beneficial for employees and the company. This training will ensure that managers will have the tools necessary to train employees on the new system and help with any issues that will arise. Allied Inventory will help all branches operate more effectively and efficiently in regards to on hand inventory and tracking inventory statuses, the training will include the addition of a packet of new inventory control policies that will be introduced. This training will be mandatory for all managers, who will then in turn be sent back to their respective branches to conduct training for the branch employees. Allied Inventory will be using the latest computer software to log all inventory into one area which is accessible by all employees to see what inventory a branch has to help fill an order or complete a project. Employees will have to login into the system and will effectively be able to search for the product they need in any branch in the company, find out where that product is located and contact numbers to have that product shipped to them. This will also be beneficial when conducting quarterly inventory, showing how many products are on hand and will act as a checklist during the physical count of all inventory in the...

...ALLIED BANK COMPANY BACKGROUND: Allied Bank’s history can be traced back to the defunct General Bank and Trust Company (General Bank). In 1977, Lucio Tan acquired the General Bank for only P500,000 and renamed it as Allied Bank. In 1981, it was authorized by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas to operate an expanded foreign currency division and became a universal bank. A year later, Allied Bank opened the Allied Capital Resources, Ltd. in Hong Kong. In 1979, it became the number one bank in terms of total resources among the 26 private banks in the Philippines. By 1982, the bank has been granted a universal banking license. In 1986, Allied Bank acquired a development bank and renamed it First Allied Savings Bank, which is now known as Allied Savings Bank. It was one of the nine founding members of BancNet in 1990. Allied Bank reached a milestone when it became the first commercial bank to open a branch in the People’s Republic of China—the Xiamen Commercial Bank (now Allied Commercial Bank). Since then, Allied Bank has put up representative offices in Tokyo, Sydney and Bangkok. In 2003, Allied Bank entered the bancassurance with a 25% stake in the New York Life Philippines, Inc. Four years later, it acquired an additional 50% of the life insurance company making New York Life a subsidiary of Allied Bank. Alliedbankers Insurance Corporation is formerly the Sincere Insurance Company, Inc. Which was incorporated in 1960. The Lucio Tan Group of Companies (LTGC) acquired...

...CASE SUMMARY Allied Office Products was a corporation in business forms and specialty paper products, such as writing paper, envelopes, note cards, and greeting cards. In 1988, the company had expanded into business forms inventory management services that Allied believed it could offer value-added service to differentiate it from other business forms manufacturers. The forms manufacturing business was mature by 1988, and all competitors were seeking ways to generate sales growth. Allied embarked on a campaign to enroll its corporate clients in a program which it called “Total Forms Control” (TFC) and Allied had established a separate company within the business forms division to handle these accounts. The services provided under TFC included warehousing and distribution of forms as well as inventory control and forms usage reporting. Allied used a sophisticated computer systems network to monitor a client’s forms inventory, forms usage, and ordering activities. They provided this information to their clients via comprehensive yet simple-to-read management reports. Allied operated its forms manufacturing and TFC activities as separated profit centers. The transfer of product to TFC was at arm’s length with the transfer price set at fair market value. Although the company encouraged internal sourcing for customer orders, TFC sales people had the option of outsourcing product if necessary. The clients who participated in the forms management program were charged a service fee...
