Internal Examiner: Barry B Crocker
Purbright was something of an old fashioned firm, producing a range of products in fireclay, earthenware, concrete and terra cotta, which were sold directly to wholesale, retail and industrial customers throughout the Midlands, the North West of England and North Wales. The firm’s best selling product group was a range of Terra cotta decorative bricks sold under the trade name of “Croft Adamant”. Sales of this product represented 39% of total turnover in 2009.
The firm had a major storehouse attached to its factory in Walsall. From there, goods were sent either directly to the customer, if the customer was Midlands based, or to one of three warehousing points to service other key areas in the supply chain. The Three sub-stores were located at Shrewsbury, Stoke-on-Trent and Warrington. Each of the stores had a sales office, and for accounting purposes, each sub-stores was treated as a profit/cost centre in its own right, the same as Walsall, even though manufacturing was carried out only at headquarters. The number of stock lines was kept lower in the three sub-stores, because delivery of the less popular lines could be expedited from Walsall relatively quickly, using Purbrights’s own fleet. 每个商店都有销售办事处,并就会计目的而言,每个子店被视为自己的权利,同样的沃尔索尔利润/成本中心,即使制造只在总部进行。股票行数保持在三个子店低,因为交付的热门线路少,可以加快从沃尔索尔比较快,使用Purbrights的自己的车队。
The three sub-depots had considerably fewer customers serving their geographical areas than did Walsall.
Purbright had had difficulty in maintaining its market share, but the firm was confident of improvements in growth and customer spread because of various marketing initiatives it was about to take. The Managing Director, Basil Bold, saw no reason to alter the depot structure at that time, until the results of the marketing campaign had been assessed.
However, he did want an assessment of the overall supply chain performance in both the works and depot operations. He suggested to MacTighe that his two major objectives would be to achieve maximum cost-efficiency and secure an improvement in the order turn-around time. Below are details of the depots performance:-
