... to decrease in sales revenue generation Due to curtailed operations in manufacturing facilities and retail outlets, skilled labor cannot be retained Public image is changing to that of inability to supply goods and meet customers' needs Following restoration, major hurdle is to regain market share and to restore competent staff which existed at time of crisis occurrence Exhibit 5.1, Schematic Vulnerability Flow Analysis', has been developed to identify clearly the hypothetical situation involving a single distribution center with four manufacturing facilities supplying ten retail outlets. The legend of the following exhibit plainly identifies the retail outlets and manufacturing facilities. Note that the unique loss vulnerability is that all activities are dependent upon the operational integrity of the distribution center. DISTRIBUTION CENTER 1 location A flow analysis readily identifies the unique loss vulnerability situation involving the development of the manufacturing just-in-time' assembly process, there are many complications with respect to production interruption. Frequently, the scheduling for just-in-time' assembly is relatively tight and any failure to receive product results in a temporary assembly line shut down. In the tradition assembly process, there is normally a warehousing operation in the flow process which allows for accumulation of product that could, to some extent, offset the time loss deficiency. The interruption of product flow to a just-in-time' assembly process involving unique or special order components represents a significant loss vulnerability situation thus resulting in a serious business interruption exposure. A sampling of hypothetical loss vulnerability situations includes, but is not limited to the following: Vulnerability Situation Samples Unique limited resources used in processing or manufacturing Limited quantity of custom built parts available in product assembly Extended delivery duration of raw material ...

... more sales? How do you manage/report/monitor (measure results)? Are all these efforts working? If yes, why? If not, why not? To use the MGM Marketing Process to market your products and services to, say, an independent agency you need to ask yourself these questions: Who is your customer? Banks, agents working with banks, joint ventures, vendors and suppliers to these new systems. What kind of information do they want or need? Distinguish between the external customer and the internal customer, such as an employee or the board. What products do you offer that meet these wants and needs? At what price will this product or service sell? This is the most important step! Henry Ford's genius lay not in the creation of the assembly line, but in his discovery that at $500 he could sell an unlimited number of cars. The assembly line evolved as the only way to build a $500 car. A change in pricing is creating a revolution. We've been operating under the old process of cost-based pricing, in which manufacturers and distributors add up all of their costs, add a profit to the total-and arrive at their price. In reality, a limited number of providers offered products to a mass market, and they could charge what they wanted. Now we're moving from cost-based pricing to price-driven costing. By establishing a price, the marketplace will dictate the qualityof the product. Technology, a more sophisticated consumer, intense competition, and a global marketplace are driving this change. We'll have a target-market system in ...

... at periodic intervals throughout the recovery period. &# 160 DISASTER SCENARIO DETAILS &# 160 The scenario involved a powerful bomb detonation in a subway station directly beneath the organization's home office building. There were also other bomb detonations in the area that disabled or seriously degraded local travel, communications and normal utility and public services. Alternate site options for non-technology operations were limited. We did place some limits on the attack: There was no radiation, biological, or chemical release. &# 160 THE ORGANIZATION'S RESPONSE &# 160 Immediate disaster response actions focused on life safety procedures. How do you get medical attention to immobile and unconscious employees? If that's impossible, how do you get them to medical centers? With transportation services disabled, how does everyone get home? When and how do you assemble the recovery teams? &# 160 Initial business recovery efforts focused on assembling teams and setting lines of communications with employees, and then with customers. Detailed work function priorities needed to be set. Only critical business activities could be addressed in the first two days after the event. By day seven, most of these activities were operational, although generally with some level of degradation. Even after 30 days, when a new permanent location could be established, shortages of experienced staff would not allow for fully normal operations. &# 160 PLANNING THE EXERCISE &# 160 To more accurately simulate an actual disaster situation, the CEO wanted the exercise to be a complete surprise. I worked directly with her and her assistant; we were the only people who knew about the upcoming event. & ...

... .) . The marketplace was one of mass. Large groups of people with limited options were shopping in the place that was closest, most friendly, and convenient. If the business was reasonably efficient, effective in personal relationships, and close to the customer, it would probably succeed. Markets were powerless. The masses bought whatever was sold. Consumers did very little comparison-shopping because their options were so limited. Manufacturers and distributors controlled most of the information. Today the game has changed. Mass markets are no more. Power has shifted from the manufacturer/distributor to the consumer — a niche of one — who can shop from an unlimited number of sources. We have a global economy, sophisticated consumers with options, technology that has unleashed information, and the most competitive marketplace in history. Assembling the perfect picture of your organization today doesn't guarantee success unless there's a clearly defined marketplace that needs what you offer. To succeed today, you must define a marketplace before assembling an organization to serve it. Leaders who try to use yesterday's planning in tomorrow's world feel as if they're being strapped into a roller coaster with an organizational and marketplace puzzle and told to solve it before the ride ends. This can be done — although it's highly stressful and risky. To plan for tomorrow, you must redefine the planning process by changing the rules of the game. To rebuild your system, you need to fully understand the world of your customers and prospects. You must address the market before defining your operations. Before you assemble your puzzle, you'll need to place these marketing' pieces in ...
