...March 18, 2004 Mr. Mark Agro Agro Storage Toronto, ON M3P 23R Dear Mark, As you requested I’ve prepared the following report to address some concerns about your new warehouse. This report contains a full analysis of the situation, as well as a solid recommendation on how you should proceed. I’ll be in contact with you next week to discuss this report, but should you have any questions for me before that time please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, Sample Student Executive Summary Agro Storage has recently purchased a cold-storage warehouse that stores packages for three customers. Although the warehouse runs at 85% capacity, the previous owner was unsatisfied with profitability. Pressure on prices downward and the non-homogeneity of customer packages complicates matters. I have developed three criteria for choosing a solution – profitability, risk and perceived image our customers. Of all these, I’ve determined profitability to be the most important criteria upon which to base a recommendation. In order to begin my analysis, I determined what an average package would look like for each customer. I then calculated the costs associated with each characteristic of a package, including weight, volume and area. In order to make a recommendation, I focused on four main alternatives: • Maintaining Status Quo • Contracting the whole warehouse to one customer • Maintaining all three customers, but renting additional space to the most...

...Agro logistics With the changes in lifestyle introduced by the new healthier way of life, massive food inflation knocked on our door. In 2006 the annual food inflation was 7.5 %. This figure doubled in 2011, 14.21 %, influenced by growth in consumption, income rise and change in the demographic structure of the world’s population, food production, processing, distribution and retail. People started using more fresh vegetables and fruits, animal protein, dairy products and processed food. The problem here is simple, the companies can’t deliver fully what customers ask from them. To get out of this situation the companies and the governments were searching for innovative, efficient and more secure way to improve the agriculture business and maybe reinvented it. Opportunities can arise to deliver greater value to consumers from both an economic and social standpoint. Through the new way of practicing agriculture the companies not only made a lot of profit, but also improved supply and demand by investments in production, processing, distribution and retail and communication. These actions were supported by the governments with introducing policies that stimulate growth, supply chain efficiency, cost optimization and market development. One of the main issues in the agro process is the constantly growing distance between primary produces and the customers. The most used way of distribution of the goods is obviously by cargo transport, causing heavy traffic, accidents on the road...

...Relaunch of Frooti-The 'Digen Verma' Campaign “Our aim was to create hype around the product, so we introduced a mysterious character called ‘Digen Verma.’ As our target audience is the youth segment, we wanted to showcase their rebellious spirit through Digen Verma.” -Ram Sehgal, MD, Everest Integrated Communications. ''Frooti has always been positioned as a drink for kids. Now, we want to position it as a drink for the youth, especially, the college-going teenagers. We therefore went in for a real life, down-to-earth person, who, like any college student likes to bunk classes, is a good sportsman and is a popular figure in the college, with whom the teenagers can actually associate themselves.'' -Alka Bhonsle, Management Consultant, Parle Agrochemicals. WHO IS DIGEN VERMA? There was no getting away from him. A poster at a bus stop in Chennai asked, “Will Digen Verma be in the next bus?” Or, when watching a movie; there was bound to be an interruption all of a sudden with a handwritten message saying, ‘Digen, your car is being towed’. And, outside in the car park, almost all the cars had stickers on them saying, ‘Digen Verma was here.’ In many commercial places in metros and even far off places like Simla, there were footmarks accompanied by the mysterious words ‘Digen Verma was here’ pasted. There were rumours galore about ‘Digen Verma’ and his identity. Some thought it was a campaign for the launch of some new fashion label, while others thought Digen Verma he was...
