    Flowerstore.ph began with the goal of making flowers accessible and affordable for all. However, on Valentine's Day they failed to deliver many orders due to inefficient logistics partners. This left customers without their flower gifts and expressing frustration. To resolve this, Flowerstore.ph should have implemented an overtime/idle time supply option to adjust workforce levels to fluctuating demand. Specifically for Valentine's Day, they could have hired temporary/part-time workers to handle the expected increase in orders since it was a known high-demand period for flowers. This would have helped them fulfill orders and avoid disappointing customers on such an important gifting day.

    LOGISTIC MANAGAMENT

    ACTIVITY

    Flowerstore.ph

    Answer the following items: (3 items x 10 points)

    1. Identify the suitable production strategy for Flowerstore.ph.

    Appropriate manufacturing techniques for Flowerstore.ph. We know that Flowerstore.ph begun with a
    basic, but driven thought: to create beyond any doubt that anybody can bear to send blooms to their
    adored ones. Whereas conventional bloom conveyance administrations offer bouquets in
    overabundance of PHP 1,500 with as it were paid ahead of time installment strategies, long conveyance
    times, and intemperate shipping expenses, Flowerstore.ph makes precisely the inverse: they offer
    bouquets that are simple to utilize on a budget from fair P399, different installment methods including
    cash-on-delivery, comprehensive client care, and free same-day conveyance.

    2. Determine the appropriate priority rule that will provide optimum operations for the company.

    The appropriate priority rule that will provide optimum operations for Flowerstore.ph is Product Process
    Planning and Strategies. Decisions made at the planning stage have long implications and are crucial to a
    company’s success. Before making decisions about the operational process, managers should consider
    the goals set by marketing managers.

    Like Level plans. This method uses a constant workforce and produces similar quantities each time. It
    uses inventories and backorders to capture demand increases and declines. However, inventory
    handling costs tend to increase. Due to the failure of Flowerstore.ph On Valentine’s Day, Flowerstore.ph
    not only failed the individuals who trusted their service but also the recipients of orders. this. The
    company claims the incident was the result of inefficient service from their logistics third-party partners.
    Regardless, Flowerstore.ph took the freedom of joy from their clients by not delivering on their promise.

    3. Propose the applicable supply option that will resolve the problem in the given case study.

    What I can suggest an appropriate supply option that solves the problem in the given case study is
    Overtime / idle time. It involves the ability / willingness of workers to run some overtime for periods of
    very high demand. Conversely, it also means the transfer of idle workers to other jobs to some extent,
    for periods with very low demand. Equipment and effort of the workers, to some degree, can also be
    speeded up or slowed down. Due to what happened at Flowerstore.ph, they did not prepare any
    planning or strategies for the coming of Valentine's Day, they know that the day of hearts will increase
    the demand for flowers so in the days of hearts huge number of people ordered flowers from the
    company clearly celebrates Valentine's Day So it happened the company failed to deliver much of the
    these commands. The victims took their aggressive comments and re -crashed on social media. Some
    are asking for a refund while some just want to express their full frustration. And what I can suggest to
    them is that once they know that there are months when the flower demand is strong they should have
    done it is they look for Part-time or temporary workers. This involves hiring people for a specified period
    of time only, with no intention of keeping them in the company for good. It is common for contract
    manufacturers and in the service industry during the holiday season. There are times when quality and
    productivity suffer as a result of this approach
