How you approached your analysis of the information? What in your opinion is the biggest benefit and why? Direct Dispatch in Supply Chain What in your opinion is the most serious risk and why? Welcome to Supply Chain. Touching every part of the organisation, partnering with over 75,000 suppliers, employing over 110,000 people in 190 countries, we're the backbone of the business where every decision can have a huge impact-I'm sure you'll find it an exciting place to work! What do you believe is the best way to overcome this risk? Kate Levine is a new Strategic Planning Manager who has recently joined supply chain from Marketing. She has a video conference with the Supply Chain team in Argentina later today, who has asked for her view on the 'direct dispatch' methodology. I would like you to provide Kate with a summary of 'direct dispatch', its benefits and its risks, so that she's fully briefed for the call. How does direct dispatch fit with Unilever's goals?
