IKEA: Job Analysis

IKEA is a well-known global brand of home furnishing products. IKEA specializes in

self-assembly furniture where customers are not just the builders but also often the means of

outbound logistics. Simply this means that the customers are responsible for deciding the

transportation needs of the products they buy (e.g. pickup). At IKEA, thousands of products are

handled daily and the movement of goods must be as efficient as possible, under all

circumstances, guaranteeing service to customers and ensuring that the products they seek are

available to buy at all times (Schwab, 2018). Logistics are important because delivering the right

products to the right customers at the right time and at the least possible cost is essential to

growth, thus maintaining uninterrupted sales. In a changing environment, logistics planning

minimizes risk by enabling companies to anticipate change and develop strategies to adapt to

those changes (Koniorczyk, 2015). The sheer volume of goods coming in and out of each IKEA

store each day makes running a logistics department an enormous challenge, therefore logistics

can spell the difference between success and failure in business (Schwab, 2018).

important among retailers and wholesalers because they transcend inventory management and

transportation to include one of the most critical factors in business success (e.g. location in

relation source of supply.). A logistics operator, also called a logistician, commandeers the

movement of freight by land, sea, and air. Their logistics duties and responsibilities include

overseeing the supply chain from point-of-sale to delivery of a nicely wrapped package on a

customer’s doorstep. Virtually all industries rely on logisticians to move everything from raw
