Do you believe Chemtech is currently following a long-term, partnership type approach to its procurement function? Why or why not?

Please read the below case study and then answer the questions. Non plagiarism.Case Study Chemtech:Established in 1980, Chemtech, Inc. is a manufacturer of chemicals that has become a leader in its field. Principal facilities include a manufacturing plant and an on-site distribution center that are located outside of Atlanta. The director of purchasing at Chemtech has recently experienced difficulties with some of its suppliers that are responsible for late and/or incorrect deliveries and for increasing backorder situations. Since Chemtech has many potential suppliers, the historical response to situations like these has been to change suppliers whenever problems arise. The director of purchasing is beginning to question this practice, as sometimes this just shifts the problem from one supplier to another. Potash is one of Chemtech’s principal suppliers. Potash maintains large inventories of most products purchased by Chemtech but sometimes has order fulfillment problems with slow-moving items that need to be ordered in from Canada and which sometimes require up to three months of lead time.Chemtech has complained to Potash about its slow and uncertain delivery times, and Potash believes it may have let Chemtech down once again. As a result, the director of marketing at Potash is wondering whether the business at Chemtech is worth keeping. Although Chemtech is a major customer, the constant threat that Chemtech will change suppliers discourages Potash from devoting itself to Chemtech. Potash’s director of marketing is looking carefully at the overall benefits and costs that would be experienced at Potash if it was to change its customer strategy to focus on more long-term customers and less on companies such as Chemtech. Looking into some details of the Potash-Chemtech relationship, the current order-delivery process works something like the following: At the beginning of each month, customers of Chemtech estimate their requirements for the next month. Then, throughout the month, they place their orders by phone with representatives of Chemtech’s marketing department. The marketing representatives then relay the orders and forecasts to those who have responsibility for the sourcing and procurement activities. Subsequently, the director of purchasing at Chemtech places orders for needed products with suppliers such as Potash.Also complicating the picture is that Chemtech’s customers sometimes have an urgent need for products, and this can place great strain on Chemtech’s supply chain to have the products available when and where they are needed. Even if certain quantities of these products are on hand at Chemtech, it is not unusual that much of the available inventory is already reserved for other customers who previously may have placed orders for the product. The newly appointed vice president of procurement and sourcing at Chemtech is wondering why its suppliers have been changed so often in the past. The marketing department is complaining about what they feel is a lack of proper planning and coordination by those who are managing logistics and supply chain activities.Case Study Questions:1. Do you believe Chemtech is currently following a long-term, partnership type approach to its procurement function? Why or why not?2. What problems is Chemtech creating for its suppliers? How can it improve the situation?3. If you were the vice president of procurement at Chemtech, what strategy would you employ to improve Chemtech’s supplier relationships and how would you work toward improving overall procurement costs?

Draw an FDD of the organization under investigation.

InstructionsPlease refer to the originalWillowbrook School Case Studyand previous case study assignments as neededRead the additional background information belowComplete the tasksthat followSubmit ONEfile (a document)Additional BackgroundWillowbrook School has decided to proceed to the systems analysis phase, based on the findings and proposal you presented after the preliminary investigation. A summary of your fact-finding is as follows:Fact-Finding SummaryBilling and payments for Willowbrook School have two components; tuition and after-care. Tuition is a fixed fee, set in the spring of the prior academic year. After-care fees have two components, a fixed fee based on the time-block of after-care the student is pre-registered for, and a variable fee based on any additional time that the student may have used on a “drop-in” basis. There are several different time blocks that students can be registered for in after-care, dependent on whether the child is in pre-school, kindergarten or primary school. For preschoolers, time blocks are noon – 1:30 p.m., noon – 3:30 p.m. and noon – 5:30 p.m. For kindergarten students, time blocks are 1:30 – 3:30 p.m. and 1:30 – 5:30 p.m. For primary school students the 3:30 – 5:30 time block is available. These time blocks are the time blocks available for drop-in after-care as well. In addition, for pre-registered students not registered for the entire afternoon, the 1:30 – 3:30 blocks and 3:30 – 5:30 blocks can be utilized on a drop-in basis.There are two payment options for tuition and the fixed component of after-care. Parents can pay the entire amount by August 1 prior to the start of the school year; or the fixed fees can be spread out over a 10-month period, starting July 1 prior to the start of the school year. A discount of 5% is applied to fees for parents choosing the lump sum payment option. Parents who have more than one child enrolled at Willowbrook are eligible for a 5% discount on tuition for all enrolled children.Payment for after-care used on a “drop-in” basis is billed monthly and is added to the bills for parents who are paying in 10 monthly installments. New bills are generated for “drop-in” care for those who paid fees in a lump sum.Monthly bills for fees and “drop-in” care are due on the first of the month and are distributed to parents one week prior to their being due. Parents who have more than one child enrolled in Willowbrook receive a separate bill for each child. Willowbrook has not had a policy of charging interest on late payments, because it has not been a problem except in one or two cases per year. These cases are handled on a case-by-case basis.The billing is done using Microsoft Excel. Susan sets up a new workbook for each academic year. Each month Susan creates a new worksheet in the workbook. The worksheet maintained contains one line per student. Each line contains the following billing and payment information for the student:Name of StudentNames of ParentsAmount of Discount on fixed feesMonthly fixed tuition feeMonthly fixed after-care feeDiscounted fixed feesMonthly “drop-in” feesTotal Monthly fee (calculated field)Payment receivedAmount paid to date (calculated field)Amount outstanding (calculated field)The entry for each student is updated twice each month, once to prepare the bills and once to record the payment. Entry for bill preparation requires the monthly statements from after-care detailing all “drop-in” hours for each student. Currently, the monthly statements include a listing for each child, detailing date(s) and time(s) of drop-in hours. From this listing, Susan Brown enters a total charge for additional after-care provided.A summary monthly report is generated for the finance committee from this spreadsheet summarizing fee collections for tuition and after-care. The finance committee also receives separate monthly reports detailing payroll expenses for all employees. Reports need to be ready for distribution at the finance committee meeting which is scheduled for the third Monday of every month.In light of the plan to expand the system to handle less sensitive administrative tasks, and the fact that Susan Brown’s workstation is used by volunteers to assist in the production of newsletters and calendars for parents, you have been asked to ensure that the billing system be made secure somehow, so that volunteer workers cannot access financial information. Susan Brown has indicated that the most useful new feature that could be added to the system would be the ability to generate one bill per family per month, listing each student’s charges separately, and an overall total. Also useful would be the ability to automatically generate a receipt at the time payments are recorded. This receipt should contain the information required for reimbursement requests from different types of Dependent Care and tuition accounts, including Name, location, and Federal Tax ID number of the school. In addition, parents have asked for a separatestatement accompanying their bill itemizing all drop-in after-care hours for that statement, including child’s name, date(s) and time(s) being billed for.TasksEach task below is to be presented in report format and in the order, the tasks are given.Functional Decomposition Diagrams (FDD)Draw an FDD of the organization under investigation.Explain the FDD of the Willowbrook School.Data Flow Diagram (DFD)Draw a context diagram.Draw a level 0 data flow diagram.Take 1 major process illustrated in the level 0 diagram and draw a level 1 diagram of the major process.Explain the 3 diagrams of the Willowbrook School.Grading Rubric Attached
