Q1
Postponement strategy is a concept used by companies and manufactures in the management of their supply chain where before a generic produced product is delivered to the customer, they can be modified to minimize risk and maximize possible benefit (Pagh, 14). Previously, the market in Europe and North America previously required various power supplies and their associated fusers for printing machine’s main engine. Printers in Europe required 220-volts power supply and those in America required 110-volts (Simchi, 358). The printers were produced by the Japanese branch of the HP company, 2 weeks and another 4 weeks is needed for the company to manufacture and deliver the printers respectively. In such circumstances, HP would make inaccurate forecasts of the market that lead to either excess or shortage of supply in both continents.
