Container Storage Case Study – Amy’s Kitchenware
Amy’s Kitchenware, based in Wisconsin, wants to start a line of safe cooking glassware to rival giants like Pyrex, MadeIn, or OXO. To create her cookware Amy needs to import the main ingredients from Japan including boron trioxide, silica sand, and sodium carbonate, all of which are hazardous. She wants to increase production but was informed by her senior engineer that the oven that creates the hardened glass to make the kitchenware has broken down and needs a new part. Realizing that a shipment of the raw material is already on the way, Amy knows they don’t have enough inventory space to accept and store all the materials she ordered. Hence, she reaches out to her carrier with a question. “Is there any way we can wait on these upcoming shipments for next week? Our inventory is currently full as we wait on a piece to repair our machine.”
