full case study.

Question-1 (courier Services)

As an employee of a large courier and shipping service, Bill Mark met with
many companies that shipped and received packages almost every day. He
was frequently asked if his company could deliver local packages on the spot
service, same day. Over several months, he noticed that thereis a substantial
need for courier services in the city in which he lived. He
decided that he would open his company Courier OnSpot by Bill's. Bill began
by creating his company profile with phone numbers in the Yellow Pages. He
also sent correspondence to all those companies that had requested on spot
service for courier delivery that he rejected earlier. He was hoping substantial
business growth with good service feedback and word of mouth spread from
customers. He also contacted other advertising and marketing activities
to promote his business. At first, Bill received delivery requests on his phone
number but number was sometimes quite a busy so customers started asking
about any website he owns where they
could place orders for shipments. He then identified website will bring a good
growth to the business. After some time he realized that he is short of
manpower and hired another person to help with the delivery and pickup of
packages. It was good to see the business grow, but another employee added
to the complexity of coordinating pickups and deliveries. With the addition of
a new person, he could no longer "warehouse" the packages out of his
delivery van. He now needed a central place as a warehouse where he could
organize and distribute packages for delivery. He thought that if his business
grew enough to add one more delivery person that he would also
need someone to manage delivery and pickup of packages at the warehouse.
The details of the package pickup and delivery process are described here.
When Bill gets an order, only on his phone at first, he recorded date and time
of call and order and when shipment is ready. Sometimes, customers wanted
onspot pickup; sometimes, they were calling to schedule a later time in the
day for pickup. Once he arrived at the pickup location, Bill collected the
packages. sometimes there were multiple packages for the same customer.
Records were created for name and address of the delivery location, time of
pickup, desired delivery time, the location of the delivery, and the weight of
the package to calculate the courier cost. After picking the package, labels are
printed out using printer that he kept in the delivery van. At first, Bill required
customers to pay at the time of pickup, but he soon discovered that there were
some regular customers who preferred to receive a monthly bill for all their
shipments. He wanted to be able to accommodate those customers. Bills were
due and payable upon receipt. To help keep track of all the packages, Bill
decided that he needed to scan each package as it was sorted in the warehouse.
This would enable him to keep good control of his packages and avoid loss
or delays. The delivery of a package was fairly simple. Upon delivery, he
would record information about when the delivery was made and who
received it. Because some of the packages were valuable, it was necessary in
those instances to have someone sign for the package upon delivery.

On the Spot courier services

grew and changed over the
years. At first, Bill received
requests for
package pickups on his mobile
phone, recorded that
information in a log, and would
then drive
around to retrieve all the
packages later in the day.
However, he soon discovered
that with
