You work as a Supply Chain Manager for a global consumer foods manufacturing company who also manage and operate the distribution and order fulfillment of their entire product range. Your company has recently issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ) to a range of specialist providers for a Design and Build Facility to include warehousing, national distribution and various value added activities together with the facilities required to support order fulfilment and associated support services. You will lead the team assembled to assess each proposal and you have been asked to compile a reference document which will be used by the team as the basis of the selection process and also to inform your recommendations to senior management.
The brief outlined in the RFQ places a strong emphasis on sustainability both in terms of the building design and the warehouse layout and operation. It follows therefore that the proposal which best reflects the sustainability brief (all other considerations being equal) will be the one most likely to be recommended.
You are not required to assess costs.
