Description
Focus of the Final Paper
Strategic Warehouse Management, Inc. (SWM) is a U.S. based warehousing organization
in the construction and management of warehouse operations. The CEO?s market
development team has determined that there is an opportunity to open a warehouse in
Australia that could serve multiple businesses. The CEO plans to open a ?non-resident
company? (Land and Tax News, 2012). The CEO has also decided that the warehouse can
be opened in any city in Australia. Some clients in Australia have also asked SWM to
manage the flow of goods from Australia to U.S. locations. The CEO wants to get a
preliminary plan developed as soon as possible before going further.
The CEO asked you to design a supply chain that includes warehouse operations in any
city in Australia. In addition, the CEO has a number of items he?d like to see you cover in
the report. He has asked you to:

managing a warehouse in Australia as a foreign entity.
Develop export procedures and import procedures in the U.S.
Discuss supply chain risks and possible mitigations.
Analyze which operations SWM would outsource and which operations SWM
would directly manage and explain why.
Outline the budget line items that would need to be considered (it is not
necessary to develop a budget with dollar figures).
Determine the metrics you would use to measure success of the warehouse
and the total supply chain.
Your report should be an eight to ten page APA style paper (not including the title and
reference pages) and submitted to the CEO (your instructor) by the last day of the class.
You are required to include at least 6 scholarly sources
