as a consequence, it has required the search for a greater expansion of the centers of
distribution, as products are increasingly in demand and they are the ones responsible
to store them and distribute them

a. Did the global inventory increase or decrease? Why?

Increase, due to the increase in demand for products and required a rise
of storage and sale of the same

b. Did the cost of storage increase or decrease? Why?

Reduced. Increase, due to the new shelves to handle space needs.

c. Did the cost of sending products to home increase or decrease? Why?

Increase, due to the rise in demand for the products and required an increase
of storage and sale of the same

d. Did the total logistical cost increase or decrease? Why?

3. Create a comparative table with the different policies for restocking inventory.
(periodic review and continuous review), the criteria to be compared will be:
a. Frequency with which orders are placed.
b. How is the order quantity of the lot size to be ordered calculated?
c. What factors determine the level of safety inventory?

4. Analyze the following cases of companies that will export their products to clients in
the foreigner and determines which Incoterms could be included in the
sales conditions for each case:
a. The exporting company can only send the products through
maritime transport.

FAS-Free Alongside Ship

b. The exporting company can only send the products through
land transportation and is willing to pay for the cost of transportation and
product insurance until the moment the shipment is released
through the customs of the destination country.

DAP- Delivered at Place

c. The exporting company is only responsible for the product while it is

inside their facilities. At the moment it is extracted and loaded onto a vehicle

The exporting company is responsible for the transportation cost and insurance of the
product until it reaches the door of the importing customer's facilities.

7. Create a comparative table in which you include the following contracts of
supply

a. Return or buy-back contracts.

b. Contracts to share or divide income.
c. Contracts for flexible quantities.
d. Contracts to coordinate costs in the supply chain.
e. Contracts to motivate sales agents or representatives.
f. Contracts to induce improvements in performance.

Types of supply contracts

Return or repurchase contracts
buyback
Contracts for sharing or distributing The conditions that explain the dissolution of

profit-sharing agreement.

purchase and sale quantities and the limits of

8. Research the Kraljic model or matrix, which classifies supply strategies.

Based on the type of article that will be purchased, answer the following:
a. What is the supplier relationship strategy that should be followed?
When is an item considered critical or a 'bottleneck'?

It is recommended

b. What types of items can be acquired through auctions? Why?

All kinds of products

c. Why is it suggested to automate the purchasing processes of non-critical items?

 Bryant Becerra Muñoz.

Because they are products that have little impact on purchasing in business activity,
it is required to automate processes and monitor volumes in order to
increase the numbers in those areas

d. What risk could exist if the purchase of critical items were to be automated?

Since they are high-demand products, these can generate good profits.
sales, but with that, high-risk purchases for the company can also be generated

e. What is the relationship strategy with the supplier that should be followed?
When is the item to be purchased considered 'strategic'?

A market analysis should be conducted on the products with the highest demand and that are
