1. As per supply chain management code, the members should
maintain relationship with suppliers and third parties to promote fair competition in the market. The members should not use their position to collect personal advantages and does not do any unethical activity against the company. In this case study, Richard breaches the standard of conduct because he issued new invoice to the suppler with high rates.
2. On his next meeting with CEO, Richard want to say everything
what he did to solve this problem.
He want to say deal between him and supplier (John
Gerrard) and product manager (Meadows). Meadows went to business trip at that time so I took approval of material for artwork with one of his valued supplier. Meadows offering discount for the material and substantial amount for overtime. The original cost was $50,000 and additional labor charges with overtime $30,000 to change the art work earlier.
