( Scenario) A Rose Is a Rose, but Only If It Is Fresh Supply chains for food and flowers must be fast, and they must be good. When the food supply chain has a problem, the best that can happen is the customer does not get fed on time; the worst that happens is the customer gets food poisoning and dies. In the floral industry, the timing and temperature are also critical. Indeed, flowers are the most perishable agricultural item—even more so than fish. Flowers not only need to move fast, but they must also be kept cool, at a constant temperature of 33 to 37 degrees. And they must be provided preservative-treated water while in transit. Roses are especially delicate, fragile, and perishable. Eighty percent of the roses sold in the U.S. market arrive by air from rural Colombia and Ecuador. Roses move through this supply chain via an intricate but fast transportation network. This network stretches from growers who cut, grade, bundle, pack, and ship; to importers who make the deal; to the…

Hershey's Bittersweet Halloween This incident is perhaps one of the most dramatic failure stories of ERP implementation failure. Founded in 1876, one of the largest North American chocolate manufacturers, Hershey's undertook a project to implement SAP R3 ERP software. However, nothing went according to plan. In the end, its new order-taking and distribution computer system which was a $112 million combination of software from ERP maker SAP, CRM provider Siebel and supply chain software from Manugistics, failed to deliver $100 million worth of Kisses and Jolly Ranchers for Halloween. It was told that the incident happened because of malfunctioning of the ERP system. As a result, the stock price declined 8 percent in a single day, profit dropped by 19 percent, and sales plunged by 12 percent, not to mention the credibility they lost in the market. Hershey's made another critical scheduling mistake – it timed its cutover during its busy season. It was unreasonable for Hershey's to…

"We must get it," Erickson Santos, president of Industrial Fasteners, roared. "Without it, we're in big trouble." The "it" Mr. Santos referred to is the renewal of a $20 million loan with Manila First Bank. The big trouble he fears is the lack of funds necessary to repay the existing debt and few, if any, prospects for raising the funds elsewhere. Mr. Santos had just hung up the phone after a conversation with a bank vice-president in which it was made clear that this year's statement of cash flows must look better than last year's. Mr. Santos knows that improvements are not on course to happen. In fact, cash flow projections were dismal. Later that day, Timothy Dela Cruz, assistant controller, was summoned to Mr. Santos's office. "Dela Cruz," Santos barked, "I've looked at our accounts receivable. I think we can generate quite a bit of cash by selling or factoring most of those receivables. I know it will cost us more than if we collect them ourselves, but it sure will make our cash…
