CHAPTER 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE ISSUE


The Lego Group, which is headquartered in Billund, Denmark, is one of the
largest toy manufacturers in the world. The name ‘Lego’ is an abbreviation of
the two Danish words “Lego godt”, meaning “play well”. Lego’s main products
have been the bricks and figures that children have played with for generations.
The Danish company has experienced sustained growth since its founding in
1932, and for most of its history its major manufacturing facilities were located
in Denmark.

Lego has continuously enhanced product quality to fulfill the growing


demands of generations of kids throughout the world by using toys to spark kids'
imaginations, curiosities, and excitement. They define quality as the effort to
continuously improve in order to offer the greatest possible playthings for kids
and their growth. Since then, Lego has won the faith of many parents and is now
gaining popularity all over the world. But few people are aware that Lego had to
go through a challenging development process in the past in order to attain the
remarkable successes it has now.

In 2003, Lego was facing tough competition from imitators and


manufacturers of electronic toys. In an effort to reduce costs, the group decided
to initiate a gradual restructuring process that continues today. To reduce labor
costs, manually intensive processes were outsourced, keeping only the highly
skilled workers in Billund. Lego’s workforce was gradually reduced from 8,300
employees in 2003 to approximately 4,200 in 2010.

Lego’s restructuring process, coupled with double digit sales growth in the
past few years, has led to the company’s expansion abroad and made its
workforce more international. These changes presented supply chain and human
resources challenges to the company. The supply chain had to be reengineered
to simplify production without reducing quality. Improved logistics planning
allowed Lego to work more closely with retailers, suppliers, and the new
outsourcing companies.

CHAPTER 2. SOLUTION
We will examine Lego's SWOT model, one of the pillars supporting the
present major improvements of the world's top manufacturer of built toys, before
learning about the remedies that the company has outlined for its system.

2.1. STRENGTHS
The Lego Group enjoys a well-known brand name around the world. The
business is acknowledged as one of the major manufacturers in the toy sector.
Another asset of the business is its capacity for technological innovation without
compromising its fundamental principles. The Lego Group's capacity for
constant product innovation helps to draw in new customers and raise brand
recognition.

As the Lego Group has been in the toy production industry for a long time,
the expertise the firm has allowed them to meet the needs of their customers.
Second, the company's experience makes it simple for them to identify and
execute adjustments to their product lines.

Another asset of the business is the variety of its products. The business has
expanded its brand into television, video games, and motion pictures. The
youngsters play the game while learning via play thanks to the Lego Group.
These advantages also enable the business to compete with other toy industry
companies.

2.2. WEAKNESSES
The Lego Group's biggest flaw is that its product designs are simple to
imitate. Since many businesses in the sector provide goods and services that are
identical to those offered under the Lego Group brand. Therefore, making it
difficult for the business to totally differentiate its product lines from what its
rivals are offering.

The issue of the Lego Group is that it finds it challenging to set itself apart
from other participants in the market due to the quick loss of identity caused by
the growth of the toy sector. Because there are many low-cost alternatives

3
Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics and Finance (UEF)

accessible, the company's products may lose market share because they are
pricey. Another flaw in the firm is its singular product category focus.

2.3. OPPORTUNITIES
To address the new market target demographics, The Lego Group will need
to create additional branding-related programs and activities. However, this will
assist the business in extending its product range to new nations worldwide.

The organization also has the chance to improve its learning by utilizing the
most recent technology. Additionally, it helps the business have a better
awareness of the ongoing developments in the sector.

The Lego Group has the option of moving its production processes and
activities to a location where they may be produced more affordably.
Additionally, it will provide the business a chance to lower its production costs.
Second, it will assist the business in achieving long-term growth in the sector.

Children are increasingly choosing other forms of entertainment, which has


a significant impact on the electronic industry. To attract more kids to its brand,
the corporation might set up gaming tournaments at the school. It could lower
the switch count while raising the retention rate.

2.4. THREATS
The primary threat to the Lego Group is that its product designs are simple
to imitate. Since many businesses in the sector provide goods and services that
are identical to those offered under the Lego Group brand. Therefore, making it
difficult for the business to totally differentiate its product lines from what its
rivals are offering.

In addition, Hasbro, the second-largest toy maker in the world, is getting


ready to join the market by introducing a brand-new line of competing products
named Kre-O. (Lego Group: Building Strategy Harvard Case Solution &
Analysis, 2011)

Here is a diagram that illustrates the SWOT

•The oldest trademark •Loss of identity

Therefore, as part of the solution, Lego chose to move to SAP business


suite software. SAP AG, a German company that specializes in enterprise
software solutions, is one of the leading software companies in the world. SAP’s
software products include a variety of applications designed to efficiently
support all of a company’s essential functions and operations. Lego chose to
implement SAP’s Supply Chain Management (SCM), Product Lifecycle
Management (PLM), and Enterprise Resources Planning (ERP) modules. The
SCM module includes essential features such as supply chain monitoring and
analysis as well as forecasting, planning, and inventory optimization. The PLM
module enables managers to optimize development processes and systems. The
ERP module includes, among other applications, the Human Capital
Management (HCM) application for personnel administration and development.
SAP’s business suite is based on a flexible three-tier client-server architecture

5
Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics and Finance (UEF)

that can easily be adapted to the new Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)


available in the latest versions of the software.

Lego has reaped several rewards by using the appropriate strategy.


Assisting in the development of Lego's business strategy, which produced the
company's current triumphs. The appropriate strategy including support business
innovation, choose the right components, secure the building blocks, design with
long-term application, assembled the physical components, create the template,
keep copies of finished work, connect with other components, plan future
models:

About supporting business innovation, all of our business activities,


including finance, logistics, and sales, are supported by the SAP landscape, and
integrating SAP Product Lifecycle Management with SAP Warehouse
Management is on the long-term path. Beside, as the business expands and
introduces the "cookbook" to new regions, we'll also add SAP ERP Human
Capital Management to the offering. The methodical expansion of the SAP
landscape is an excellent illustration of how they can customize SAP applications
to meet their business requirements, enabling Lego to concentrate on its core
innovation and excellence.

About choosing the right components, SAP software provided the


optimum balance of conventional procedures and adaptability to the changing
needs of the toy sector. All of their business activities, including finance,
logistics, and sales, are supported by the SAP landscape, and integrating SAP
Product Lifecycle Management with SAP Warehouse Management is on the
long-term path. We will also add SAP ERP Human Capital Management to the
offering as the business expands and introduces the "cookbook" to new regions.

Abroad to secure the building blocks, Lego is able to think about its
main business requirements because to its dedication to SAP applications. Of
these, product lifecycle management and warehouse management are two
examples that show how integral SAP apps can be. By integrating SAP Product

6
Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics and Finance (UEF)

Lifecycle Management, the finance and production solutions will reflect the cost
and manufacturing consequences of product development choices, providing
them with a thorough understanding of the business effect. They will be able to
respond quickly and effectively to market changes and opportunities as a result
of being able to make educated decisions early on.

Just about design with long-term application, for Lego, a few things are
essential: first-rate product lifecycle management, which enables the
introduction of great new items quickly and effectively; and always-on logistics,
which controls global manufacturing and distribution. Along with the typical
business requirement for financial management and analysis, Lego also requires
effective human procedures to support its multicultural and multinational
workforce. Lego is now able to respond to market possibilities more quickly
because to the integrated SAP applications on the IBM Power platform. These
processes encompass every area of the company, from staff to production
systems, from product design to final sales.

More abroad assembled the physical components, each new operation


will start small and expand quickly, therefore it's important to select scalable
platforms that can expand to handle growing workloads. Due to its two systems,
Lego is able to utilize all of its capability. Planned service reductions
automatically reallocate capacity needed for the development, test, simulation,
and integration environments to the production systems whenever one data
center goes offline. Additionally, IBM Enhanced Technical Support assigns
experts to each hardware and software platform along with a platform and
product account advocate that has extensive knowledge of the Lego installation.
To fulfill its contractual obligations, Lego divides the whole compute capability
amongst systems in accordance with the demands of the workload. To increase
supply chain effectiveness, for instance, Lego employs SAP Advanced Planning
and Optimization (APO). Lego assigns spare computing capability to APO on
weekends when the main systems are generally unusable, ensuring that it
complete fast and successfully with ample time for a rerun if necessary.

7
Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics and Finance (UEF)

About create the template, some of the 19 billion components that Lego
manufactures annually in Denmark, Eastern Europe, and Mexico are kept in
centralized high-bay warehouses. It is crucial that the warehouse solution be
dependable and simple to replicate in other locations as the business expands.
They could not rely on the vendor's help since the warehouses were run by
proprietary systems. Beside, they want to develop a template based on SAP
Warehouse Management that they can quickly duplicate when they set up new
activities in order to lower business risk. The benefit of this strategy is that it
provides any new foreign endeavor with a consistent operating model and full
access to SAP's support and development resources.

Just abroad to keep copies of finished work, Lego has consolidated its
data storage, utilizing IBM System Storage DS8700 systems with 1.5TB of
production data, with one system in each data center for redundancy.
Additionally, desktop application storage is sent to the DS8700s so that Lego has
full access to all corporate data. To manage practically every area of its
information infrastructure, including network and system health monitoring,
graphical views of application performance, and IBM Tivoli Netcool/Webtop,
Lego has chosen a full package of Tivoli products. In this globally heterogeneous
environment, the Tivoli solutions standardize administration and control for
Lego and assist in lowering infrastructure management costs.

More about connecting with other components, incorporating crucial


application data into a single, user-friendly interface, IBM Tivoli Composite
Application Manager (ITCAM) for Applications offers a single solution for
tracking, displaying, analyzing, and controlling connected SAP applications
throughout the company. With the help of this technology, external applications
may seamlessly integrate with the SAP system, giving Lego complete access and
management over the whole application landscape. IBM Tivoli Network
Manager reduces expenses by increasing network asset usage, which improves
IT service availability. IBM Tivoli Performance Analyzer delivers
straightforward, intuitive resource trend forecasts, assisting Lego in planning its

8
Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics and Finance (UEF)

expansion as economically as possible. The IT architecture is drastically


simplified as a consequence, with fewer processors operating at greater
utilization levels and handling the same processing demand. Simplicity through
virtualization lowers costs for software licensing that are paid per CPU, and there
are fewer servers to purchase, maintain, and run since Tivoli offers a thorough
solution to manage the complete application, storage, and network environment.

Finally, about planning future models, Lego has ambitious ambitions to


implement SAP ERP Human Capital Management and enhance its enterprise
reporting capabilities using SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse in addition to
the warehouse and production systems (SAP NetWeaver BW). The enormous
scalability of IBM technology and the simplicity of management offered by
Tivoli solutions make such expansion a practical and financially wise idea. For
sales reporting throughout the extended organization, as a "source of
opportunity" for procurement expenditure, and as an internal benchmarking
service to boost performance, Lego will employ SAP NetWeaver BW.
Transactions will be transmitted from SAP apps to SAP NetWeaver BW so you
can see how much Lego spends together with different suppliers or on individual
raw materials. The knowledge may enable them to lower the price of raw
resources. Similarly, they may compare supplier pricing in each Lego business
using SAP NetWeaver BW, giving each procurement division a baseline to beat.

The gradual expansion of the SAP landscape is an excellent illustration


of how we can modify SAP applications to meet our business requirements,
enabling Lego to concentrate on its core innovation and excellence.

“IBM technology and SAP software offer a highly successful


combination that has proven its value to Lego, with a standards-based yet highly
flexible operating model that helps us roll out a commercially effective business
model, and continue with double-digit growth,” concludes Esben Viskum -
Senior Director Lego Service Center.

CHAPTER 4. APPLICATION
4.1. INTRODUCTION
Young Mix is software that supports creating multiple-choice questions from
the original test set to create multiple exam questions with different test codes.
The software has 3 modes to mix multiple-choice questions such as creating a
question permutation test, creating an answer permutation test and creating a
question and answer permutation test.

Young Mix Online mixes multiple-choice questions correctly in just 3


seconds for 24 codes (if you need 4 codes, it's only 1 second). The original exam
questions may not be beautiful, not standard, after mixing it will be properly
aligned, beautiful and full of information.

Moreover, Young Mix also outputs an Excel file with the correct answer of
each code (this Excel file can be quickly imported into the QM multiple-choice
marking App on the phone for later marking), and the original exam questions
file has been determined. Re-formed for more standard, more beautiful.
(ChamThi, n.d.)

4.2. WHY WE CHOOSE YOUNGMIX?


From 2017 to now, the multiple-choice test has been applied to most of the
exams, leading to the situation of copying each other quite easily. Therefore, it
has to be mixed into many different exam codes and mixing multiple-choice
questions has become a regular job for teachers. However, mixing exams directly
on the computer will use resources on the computer and slow down weak
machines. Not to mention manual mixing will take a lot of time and effort of
teachers. To optimize teaching, teachers need to find a software to mix multiple-
choice questions (reverse exams, shuffle questions) that is fast, accurate, easy to
use, free, and meets all subjects. Since then, multiple-choice mixing software has
been born to serve the needs of teachers, in which the most popular and widely
used online mixing software is YoungMix.
