...Easy Internet Café Case Study Analysis Table of Content Page 3 – Executive Summary Page 4 – Issue(s) Identification Page 5 – Environmental and Root Cause Analysis Page 7 – Alternatives Page 9 – Recommendations and Implementation Page 10 – Monitor and Control Executive Summary With our decision to radically revamp our operations to appoint franchisees for the new stores and existing ones, it is critical that we have an operating system that reflects this major change. With the new strategy the franchisees would be required to bear the costs of the property and hardware. It is hoped that these actions would reduce elc’s drain on capital. We are focusing all our time on the logistics for the stores which is the main reason for escalation of high costs and continuing losses. We are not focusing on our core competencies of our business which is our software and service level. Four companies were reviewed for focusing on the logistics of the equipment for the stores. I would recommend going with Ingram Micro as their focus is on supply chain management. Easy Internet Café needs centralized warehousing where all equipment and furnishings are staged before forwarding onwards to the franchisees to reduce costs. With centralized warehousing it will reduce costs, especially if the location was more central to our customers for faster and easier shipping. This will also simplify Inventory management throughout the supply chain as there would be...

...newsagents, jewllery shops, internet cafes and call centres, in the morning time the street is full of crowded buses as students go to their universities, whereas in relation to pedestrians the street is very quiet, interestingly, in the evening time the picture is the other way round, as you could notice that the street is full of pedestrians, on the other hand the buses are nearly empty. There is an internet cafe and a call centre shop, i used to visit 10 years ago, at that time this Internet Cafe was very busy with customers especially students aged 20 -30, sometimes i found it hard to get a computer in the Cafe, when i had to wait a little bit. Nowadays this internet cafe is a bit quiet, one of the reasons i think that because the students used to use the internet only for study purpose, but after a decade the Internet became very popular, and its very difficult to imagine life without it, the internet covers every single side of our life, and you can also relay on the Net nearly in every aspect of your life, from reading your local newspaper and ordering your food and booking your flight ticket or checking the weather or even contact with friends and family or making new friends via facebook and tweeter.
