...Choosing a Distributor By Sarah Smith HTM 250 Dr. Bonimy May 16, 2014 Assignment 1 Founded in 1969 by John Baugh, Sysco has continued to grow and experience great success since its establishment began. It all started in 1969 when Baugh persuaded owners of eight small food distributors to combine the nine companies, which would establish what he hoped to transition into a national foodservice distribution organization. It was Baugh’s hope that he would someday be able to distribute any food despite its regional availability. In 1970, Sysco went public and was able to acquire its first acquisition. In 1979, Sysco’s Revenues exceeded $1 billion. In 1981, Sysco becomes the largest foodservice distribution company in the United States. Throughout the early 1990s, SYSCO made acquisitions, which further increased the company's geographic spread. In early, 2001 SYSCO acquired a group of specialty meat supply operations in Texas, which focused on providing fresh meat to upscale restaurants. (Kreimer, Susan, Dec. 2001) This acquisition enabled Sysco to generated annual revenues in excess of $200 million. And lastly, in 2005 the very first SYSCO regional redistribution centers opened. Over the years, Sysco has grown steadily through massive acquisitions of smaller distributors, which has enables Sysco to obtain double-digit increases in sales and earnings every year. The geographical areas that Sysco serves are; USA, Canada, United Kingdom, Asia, and China. More...

...ISL 223E FUNDAMENTALS OF PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT CASE STUDY 2[1] Due Date: 17. 10. 2011 – until at 17.00 to Room B408[2] NorSal TRONDHEIM NorSal Trondheim operates a salmon processing facility where fish are purchased from local sources along the North Sea, processed at the facility, and sold to customers for distribution. The plant manager, Inger Hansen, is contemplating a plant modernization to upgrade the technology in the plant. While the plant performs well enough now, modernizing equipment would allow the plant to increase capacity per hour, which is particularly advantageous because the factory has enough demand to cover the additional capacity. Currently, the plant operates five days a week, two shifts of 30 workers per shift. The workers are paid $10 per hour. Adding a third shift is not possible because the plant is cleaned during the third shift. The firm is contemplating a plant modernization to upgrade existing equipment, which should increase the plant’s output while lowering energy costs. Using the current equipment, around 1.500 pounds of salmon can be processed each hour, while the new plant would be able to processed each hour, while the new plant would be able to process 2.000 pounds per hour. The updated equipment is made by the same manufacturer as the existing equipment, and the new equipment quickly. For this reason, costs to train personnel are assumed to be negligible. The production manager, Bjorn Pedersen, is skeptical about undergoing...
