Apple is a worldwide technology company that “builds and sells media devices and cellular

communication systems, individual computers, and compact digital music players. 1 IN

ADDITION, THEY MARKET A VARIETY OF ASSOCIATED SOFTWARE,

COMPUTER PERIPHERAL, NETWORKING, AND OTHER SERVICES, AS WELL

AS THIRD-PARTY DIGITAL CONTENT AND REQUESTS THAT CAN BE

ACCESSED THROUGH THE DEVICES. 2 THE MACINTOSH COMPUTER, THE

IPOD, THE IPAD, AND THE IPHONE ARE AMONG THE MOST POPULAR

PRODUCTS MANUFACTURED BY THE CORPORATION. The Macintosh computer is

the most popular gadget Apple has produced throughout its history. 3 SINCE ITS

INTRODUCTION IN 1984, THIS DEVICE HAS BEEN CREDITED WITH BEING

THE FIRST COMPUTER TO ACCURATELY USE A GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE

(GUI), WHICH ALLOWS USERS TO INTERACT WITH THE DEVICE BY

TRIGGERING IMAGES ON THE SCREEN USING A MOUSE. AS THE MAJORITY

OF MODERN COMPUTERS NOW WORK THROUGH A GRAPHICAL USER

INTERFACE, THIS SUCCESS HAS FUELED THE DEVELOPMENT OF MODERN

COMPUTERS”. “THE IPOD IS THE MOST WELL-KNOWN MUSIC-PLAYING

DEVICE ON THE PLANET, AND FOR A GOOD REASON. 4 IT IS RENOWNED

FOR ITS ENORMOUS MEMORY CAPACITY, ALLOWING USERS TO COLLECT

MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF MUSIC AND AUDIO FILES ON THE DEVICE. Other device

versions also enable users to save video clips on their hard drives. Another well-known item

created by the Apple Company is the iPhone”, which was the first smartphone when introduced

in 2007. It’s similar in function to a mini-computer in that it performs operations and has

characteristics that are similar to those of a computer. Due to the device’s ability to perform the

same activities as a computer, users may use it to surf the web and even check their emails

more comfortably. 1 THE DEVICE CAN ALSO STORE MUSIC AND OTHER AUDIO

FILES, WHICH ALLOWS IT TO FUNCTION AS A MUSIC PLAYER WITH ALL OF

THE FUNCTIONALITY OF AN MP3 PLAYER. In addition to storing music files, the

device can also store video clips that have been obtained from the internet or synchronized into

the phone with the computer. You can download apps that work in conjunction with third-party

programs, increasing productivity while also providing ease. 5 THE MOST OFTEN USED

PIECE OF THIS DEVICE IS THE CAMERA, WHICH PERMITS USERS TO

CAPTURE PICTURES DIRECTLY FROM THE SMARTPHONE. The iPad is the most

up-to-date tablet created by the Apple firm, and it has a great resale value in today’s

competitive market. 6 THE DEVICE HAS A 9.7-INCH SCREEN, WHICH

CORRESPONDS TO THE SIZE OF A STANDARD TEXTBOOK. IT HAS MANY OF

THE SAME CAPABILITIES AS THE IPHONE, EXCEPT FOR RECEIVING PHONE

CALLS AND TEXT MESSAGES.

7 DELL COMPANY IS A COMPUTER MANUFACTURING ENTERPRISE THAT

SPECIALIZES IN THE PRODUCTION OF COMPUTERS AND COMPUTER-

RELATED ACCESSORIES. The majority of the time, the corporation makes these things for

the benefit of other businesses, companies, and government authorities. 3 DELL

SPECIALIZES IN LAPTOP AND DESKTOP COMPUTERS AND COMPUTER

PERIPHERALS SUCH AS KEYBOARDS, MICE, PROJECTORS, MEMORY

STORAGE DEVICES, AND OTHER PERIPHERAL DEVICES. 8 THEIR GADGETS

ARE WIDELY UTILIZED WORLDWIDE BECAUSE OF THEIR DEPENDABLE

PERFORMANCE AND HIGH SPEED, WHICH PROVIDES CLIENTS WITH

CONVENIENCE AND EASE OF OPERATION. They can accomplish everyday technical

tasks such as storing critical data and information by utilizing large amounts of memory

storage space due to the high performance of their computers, which allows them to grow their

business. Because of the strong technical capabilities of the gadgets, enterprises and companies

can utilize them to complete critical activities such as making presentations efficiently and

maintaining records.

9 “ANALYZE HOW EACH OF THEIR GOODS AND SERVICE DESIGN CONCEPTS

IS INTEGRATED”.

Both Apple and Dell have adequate goods and service plans, which help establish these

organizations as trusted providers of high-quality customer service. 3 THE IOS DIRECT

SERVICE PROGRAM AND APPLE CARE PRODUCTS ARE TWO OF APPLE’S MOST

ESSENTIAL SERVICE PROGRAMS, AND THEY ARE BOTH AVAILABLE

WORLDWIDE. 4 INDIVIDUALS, BUSINESSES, INSTITUTIONS, RESELLERS,

AND SERVICE PROVIDERS HAVE ALL TARGETED AUDIENCES FOR ITS

SERVICE PROGRAM, WHICH WAS INITIALLY DEVELOPED FOR THEM.

CUSTOMERS CAN GENERALLY CONTACT THE CALL CENTER SUPPORT

SYSTEM THROUGH TELEPHONE ANYTIME THEY ARE EXPERIENCING A

PROBLEM WITH A COMPANY’S GADGET IN THIS PARTICULAR SERVICE. To

provide a more satisfactory service, the organization has various professionals on the ground

who are available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, to ensure that they serve their

consumers. Customers will be able to communicate with the professionals at their convenience

due to this arrangement. 10 THE IOS DIRECT SERVICE PROGRAM PROVIDES FOR

THE EXAMINATION OF UNITS FOR ANY HARDWARE FAULTS AND THE

REPLACEMENT OF ANY COMPANY-ISSUED DEVICES THAT ARE NECESSARY

FOR THE CUSTOMER. It provides appropriate and lower-cost support for the appliances

purchased from the company through this service, allowing enterprises to save money on their

support costs. 11 IT IS POSSIBLE TO OBTAIN THIS SPECIFIC SERVICE FOR

EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS, BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS, AND

GOVERNMENT AGENCIES. 3 THIS SERVICE MAKES USE OF GLOBAL SERVICE

EXCHANGE, WHICH IS THE COMPANY’S ONLINE SERVICE GATEWAY THAT

ALLOWS CUSTOMERS TO HAVE ACCESS TO A VARIETY OF PERKS AND

SERVICES.

DELL OFFERS A VARIETY OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, INCLUDING PC

DIAGNOSTICS, ORDER SUPPORT, AND PARTS AND UPGRADES. 12 DELL PC

DIAGNOSTICS IS A SET OF TOOLS THAT CONSUMERS CAN USE TO DIAGNOSE

AND REMEDY ANY PERFORMANCE ISSUES THAT THEY MAY BE HAVING. AS

THE DEVICE GETS OLDER, THIS SERVICE LOOKS FOR FREEZES,

SLOWDOWNS, AND STARTUP PROBLEMS. It is possible to perform this specific

technical action online utilizing the consumer’s account. 12 THE MOST FREQUENT

DIAGNOSIS PERFORMED BY THIS SERVICE IS A COMPREHENSIVE SYSTEM

DIAGNOSIS, WHICH EXAMINES THE ENTIRE SYSTEM TO IDENTIFY AND

CLASSIFY ISSUES RELATING TO THE HARDWARE, SOFTWARE, INCLUDING

THE GENERAL OPERATION OF THE SYSTEM. Customers can benefit from order

assistance because it can assist them in tracking their device orders as well as delivering the

devices promptly. The company offers the device update files whenever software faults occur,

allowing the gadget to be upgraded without the need for a reboot.

13 ROLE OF INVENTORY IN THE COMPANY’S PERFORMANCE, OPERATIONAL

EFFICIENCY, AND CUSTOMER SATISFACTION.

3 COMPUTER COMPANIES STRIVE TO MAINTAIN A LOW INVENTORY-TO-

SALES RATIO THAT IS REASONABLE. 6 DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON, THE

“APPLE COMPANY HAS AN AVERAGE OF ONLY FIVE DAYS’ 12 WORTH OF

INVENTORY ON HAND FOR ITS PRODUCTS, ACCORDING TO BLOOMBERG”.

Keeping five days of goods on hand is a bit of a stretch. 4 THE CORPORATION

MAINTAINS LESS INVENTORY THAN COMPETITORS SAMSUNG AND LENOVO,

WHICH KEPT SEVEN AND FIFTEEN DAYS OF STOCK ON HAND,

RESPECTIVELY, WHEN THEY LAUNCHED THEIR PRODUCTS (VICTOR, 2012).

After several years as the company’s chief operating officer (COO) in Cupertino (Varun, 2014),

Cook, even though he is not a “product man” in the same way that Steve Jobs was, is widely

credited with most of Apple’s operations and unrivaled supply chain, which is publicly

available. 3 COOK JOINED APPLE SHORTLY AFTER JOBS’ return, at a time when the

previous millennium was coming to a close. Until he arrived, Apple’s manufacturing,

distribution, and supply operations were in a state of complete chaos. 14 ADDITIONALLY,

HE WAS THE ONE WHO ADVOCATED FOR THE DISCONTINUATION OF

MANUFACTURING IN FAVOR OF CONTRACT MANUFACTURERS, AND THE

CLOSING OF WAREHOUSES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD (VARUN, 2014).

“FOR THE MOST PART, THIS OCCURRED DURING A PERIOD IN WHICH DELL

WAS MAKING A NAME FOR ITSELF BY ESTABLISHING THE BUILD-TO-ORDER

APPROACH WITH COMPUTER ASSEMBLY, WHICH WAS QUICKLY ADOPTED

AS A MODEL OF EFFICIENCY FOR THE WHOLE COMPUTER MANUFACTURING

SECTOR” (VARUN, 2014). 4 “INVENTORY IS WICKED,” Cook has maintained

throughout his career. 3 HE HAS OBSERVED THAT INVENTORY TYPICALLY

LOSES BETWEEN 1 PERCENT AND 2 PERCENT OF ITS VALUE PER WEEK

UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES BUT THAT THIS LOSS CAN BE MUCH

MORE SIGNIFICANT WHEN TIMES ARE SEVERE, AS HE HAS REMARKED. His

analogy to milk that is going to go wrong is even more evocative: 1 “IF YOU’RE IN THE

DAIRY COMPANY, YOU’LL WANT TO MANAGE YOUR INVENTORY SIMILARLY.

3 IF IT HAS PASSED ITS BEST-BEFORE DATE, YOU HAVE A PROBLEM ON

YOUR HANDS.” 4 STOCK RECORDS REMAINING ON THE BOOKS ARE A

DANGER IN AND OF ITSELF SINCE IF THE INVENTORY IS NOT SOLD, IT WILL

ALMOST CERTAINLY BE WRITTEN OFF IN THE LONG TERM, WHICH CAN BE

EXTREMELY PAINFUL.

14 THE GARTNER SUPPLY CHAIN RANKED APPLE FIRST IN 2012 FOR

PROVIDING COMPLETE SOLUTIONS TO ITS CLIENTS THROUGH THE SECURE

INTEGRATION OF A PROPRIETARY OPERATING SYSTEM, FIRMWARE AND

HARDWARE COMPONENTS AS WELL AS AN ECOSYSTEM OF APPLICATIONS

THAT OPERATE ON TOP OF THOSE COMPONENTS (“GARTNER ANNOUNCES

RANKINGS,” 2012). 14 AMAZON, DELL, AND MCDONALD’S ARE JUST A FEW OF

THE COMPANIES THAT MADE THE 2012 GARTNER SUPPLY CHAIN TOP 25

LIST (“GARTNER ANNOUNCES RANKINGS,” 2012).

1 DUE TO THE COMPANY’S EXCELLENT INVENTORY STRATEGY, WHICH

INCLUDES COLLABORATIONS WITH SUPPLIERS, BUILD-TO-ORDER

PRODUCTION, DIRECT CUSTOMER SALES, AND JUST-IN-TIME COMPONENT

INVENTORIES, DELL WAS PLACED FOURTH IN THE DISTRIBUTION CHAIN. 7

DELL’S JUST-IN-TIME INVENTORY APPROACH RESULTED IN SIGNIFICANT

COST SAVINGS FOR THE COMPANY WHILE ALSO SHORTENING THE TIME IT

TOOK FOR DELL TO INTRODUCE NEW GENERATIONS OF ITS COMPUTER

MODELS TO THE MARKET (“DELL’S COMPUTING STRATEGY”). 3 RECENT

ADVANCES IN SOME COMPUTER PARTS AND COMPONENTS (ESPECIALLY

DISK DRIVES, MICROPROCESSORS, AND MODEMS) WERE OCCURRING AT

SUCH A RAPID PACE THAT ANY GIVEN ITEM IN STOCK BECAME OBSOLETE IN

A MATTER OF MONTHS AND, IN SOME CASES, EVEN SOONER. Because of this,

Dell modified its inventory strategy to increase flexibility in today’s dynamic technological

industry while also decreasing losses.

15 COMPARISON OF THE LAYOUTS OF EACH COMPANY AND THEIR

IMPORTANCE TO MANUFACTURING/SERVICE OPERATIONS.

The Manufacturing layout and service layout includes placing the facilities in the most efficient

manner possible while also reducing complexity in the production process. 12 THE

PRIMARY GOAL OF THE LAYOUT IS TO REDUCE THE TIME REQUIRED FOR

MANUFACTURING AND SERVICE OPERATIONS WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY

INCREASING THE QUALITY AND ENSURING THE MOST EFFICIENT USE OF

MATERIALS, MACHINES, AND PEOPLE. 3 THE PRIMARY GOAL OF THE

LAYOUT IS TO MAXIMIZE THE EFFICACY AND EFFICIENCY OF THE PROCESS

IT IS IMPLEMENTING. There are four fundamental forms of layout, which are described in

the following manner:

16 A) PRODUCT LAYOUT- (ALSO KNOWN AS LINE LAYOUT) IS A TYPE OF

LAYOUT USED IN THE MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY. 10 IN THIS FORM OF

STRUCTURE, ALL OF THE MANUFACTURING AND PRODUCTION FACILITIES

ARE ARRANGED TO ALLOW THE PRODUCT TO FLOW IN A SINGLE DIRECTION

AT A CONSTANT RATE. 8 FOR EXAMPLE, AUTOMOTIVE ASSEMBLY LINES,

TELEVISION ASSEMBLY LINES, REFRIGERATOR ASSEMBLY LINES, RADIO

ASSEMBLY LINES, ETC.

12 B) A FUNCTIONAL LAYOUT CENTERED ON BATCH MANUFACTURING IS

KNOWN AS A PROCESS LAYOUT (FIGURE B). The layout of factories is based on the

similarity of their processes.

14 C) A CELLULAR LAYOUT- IN WHICH RESOURCES ARE MADE IN GROUPS

THAT MAY BE USED TO OPERATE ON DIFFERENT PRODUCTS AND GROUPS,

AIDS IN REDUCING THE DIFFICULTY OF THE PROCESS LAYOUT AND, AS A

RESULT, REDUCES THE COST OF THE LAYOUT.

6 D) PROJECT LAYOUT – THIS IS A FIXED POSITION LAYOUT IN WHICH THE

FACTORY IS LOCATED AT A SET LOCATION. Labor, machines, and material are

brought to the assembly location from a fixed location in the factory. 14 CONSIDER THE

MANUFACTURING OF SHIPS AND AIRPLANES, FOR EXAMPLE.

8 AMONG THE MANY ITEMS THAT APPLE AND DELL PROVIDE TO THEIR

CLIENTS ARE THE IPAD AND THE MACBOOK PRO. 5 DELL COMPUTERS ARE

MANUFACTURED USING A COMBINATION OF ASSEMBLY LINES AND

MANUFACTURING CELLS, WHICH ALLOWS THEM TO BE ADAPTABLE TO

CHANGES IN TECHNOLOGY. The manufacturing units are primarily concerned with batch

production of the goods, followed by assembly and programming following the project layout.

On the other hand, it uses the same methodology, but the assembly differs depending on the

product and version.

Metrics to evaluate the supply chain performance When faced with a rapidly increasing level of

competition and fluctuating market pressures, supply chain performance management

becomes increasingly essential for maintaining a competitive advantage in the marketplace. 1

CONSEQUENTLY, A CONSISTENT SET OF METRICS RELATING TO THE

FUNCTIONAL DOMAINS OF THE SUPPLY CHAIN SHOULD BE IDENTIFIED TO

MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF DECISION-MAKING IN THIS AREA (CLARA,

2015). 14 QUALITY LEVEL, QUICK RESPONSE IN AN EMERGENCY, SERVICE

LEVEL, ON-TIME DELIVERY, ABILITY TO RESPOND TO UNEXPECTED

CHANGES IN DEMAND, READINESS TO DISCLOSE SENSITIVE INFORMATION,

SPECIAL REQUEST OR PROBLEM, AND OTHER FACTORS CAN ALL BE

CONSIDERED WHEN EVALUATING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF A SUPPLY CHAIN.

The metrics that have been authorized should be efficient, readily available, reliable, valid, and

suitable to the type of product in question. These indicators should be linked to the overall

strategy and aim of the organization.

The supply chain can make two improvements to its metrics by implementing them.

6 A) ACHIEVING OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE – IN THIS CASE, THE

PRINCIPLES OF SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT MUST CONCENTRATE ON

LOWERING THE ENTIRE COST OF WAREHOUSING AND LOGISTICS FOR A

SPECIFIC PRODUCT TO SUCCEED.

1 B) PROVIDING BETTER SERVICES IN THE EVENT OF MACHINE

BREAKDOWN – COMPANIES MUST CONCENTRATE ON THIS OPERATIONAL

STRATEGY BECAUSE FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF

MANUFACTURING CAPABILITY AND THE COMPANY’S REPUTATION IN THE

LONG RUN.

13 “WAYS OF IMPROVING THE INVENTORY MANAGEMENT FOR EACH

COMPANY WITHOUT AFFECTING OPERATIONS AND THE CUSTOMER

BENEFIT PACKAGE. 1 PROVIDE A RATIONALE TO SUPPORT THE

SUGGESTION”.

When inventory is managed incorrectly, sales are lost, whereas inventory management

incorrectly leads to increased storage and labor costs. It is necessary to determine the

appropriate inventory to maintain on hand and in circulation. The following are two

suggestions for enhancing the inventory management of the Apple and Dell corporations.

7 A) FUNCTIONAL PLANNING AND LINKING IT WITH SALES AND

OPERATIONS PLANNING. 14 IT IS THE MOST ACCURATE FORECASTING

STRATEGY SINCE IT IMPROVES THE SUPPLY PLAN, WHICH IN TURN HAS AN

IMPACT ON AND DEVELOPS THE DEMAND PLAN ON THE OTHER HAND. 4

THE MOST IMPORTANT GOAL IS TO CLOSE THE GAP BETWEEN THESE THREE

ITEMS, NAMELY SALES, OPERATIONS, AND

INVENTORY MANAGEMENT.

b) Adopting enhanced safety stock regulations in cycle time and granularity is a second step.

3 IT ENCOMPASSES A WIDE RANGE OF CHARACTERISTICS SUCH AS

DEMAND VARIABILITY, CONSUMPTION PATTERNS, PRODUCT VELOCITY,

AND THE CRITICALITY OF THE PRODUCT. The greater the precision a corporation can

deal with variances, the greater the capacity to maintain control over inventories.
