Introduction:

Marang Supplies Pty Ltd, a prominent manufacturing firm specializing in motor parts,
has experienced significant growth over the past two decades. However, this
expansion has brought about challenges in managing its supply chain efficiently. The
company currently relies on an outdated legacy system, which lacks real-time
visibility, hinders effective planning, and leads to delays and customer complaints.
To address these issues and stay ahead in the competitive market, Marang aims to
adapt to the fourth industrial revolution (4IR) by integrating modern technological
solutions into its logistics and supply chain management.

In this case study, we will explore various strategies that Marang Pty Ltd can employ
to overcome its supply chain challenges and improve its overall efficiency. The focus
will be on recommending an advanced planning system (APS) to replace the
outdated legacy system, introducing a centralized logistics operating arrangement,
and leveraging technological systems such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and
robotics to create efficiency in warehousing and distribution. Additionally, we will
discuss the application of push and pull systems to optimize manufacturing
processes. By implementing these solutions, Marang Pty Ltd can enhance its service

, levels, streamline its supply chain operations, and position itself for success in the
era of the fourth industrial revolution.




1.1Discuss the system Marang Pty Ltd may adopt into the planning system to
replace the outdated legacy system. Use examples from the case study to justify the
discussion.

Discussion: Marang Pty Ltd ought to consider embracing a Venture Asset Arranging
(ERP) framework to supplant the obsolete heritage framework. An ERP framework is
an exhaustive and coordinated programming arrangement that works with the
progression of data and supports different business processes across the
association (Bowersox et al., 2020, p. 63). It gives constant perceivability into stock
levels, creation progress, acquirement cycles, and conveyance exercises, tending to
the difficulties looked by the organization.

Examples:

1.Lack of constant stock perceivability: The heritage framework utilized by Marang
Pty Ltd needs continuous perceivability into stock levels, settling on it trying to go
with ideal decisions on renewal or keep away from stock outs. With an ERP
framework set up, the organization can have a brought together data set that
updates stock levels continuously, empowering better control and arranging of stock
administration.



2. Manual and tedious acquisition processes: The obsolete heritage framework
requires manual exertion for obtainment, prompting tedious and blunder inclined
processes. An ERP framework computerizes acquisition work processes, creating
buy orders in view of predefined triggers, for example, least stock levels or reorder
focuses. This robotization diminishes the manual exertion and guarantees opportune
obtainment of materials.
