Mobile Commerce, Social Media, and Big Data

Learning Team Collaboration: Mobile Commerce, Social Media, and Big Data
Two publically stated and promoted HB Company values are a:
  • Commitment to providing high-quality, fresh beverages and food
  • Commitment to respecting and conserving resources whenever possible (i.e., minimizing it's carbon footprint)
Effective supply chain management is critical to enabling HB Company to live up to these values. For example, the commitment to fresh, high-quality products would indicate the need for small inventories to reduce "time on the shelf." However, many small deliveries could create more carbon emissions than a few medium-sized deliveries. The use of a CRM integrated with known suppliers could help balance inventory with demand to minimize the "time on the shelf" and the frequency of deliveries.
Complete the following as a team:
  • Discuss how the addition of the mobile ordering app will affect each of the five components of supply chain management.
  • Identify where there are risks and opportunities within the three flows for supporting the HB Company values.
  • Describe how information systems, including effective CRMs, could help HB Company mitigate risks and use opportunities created by the mobile ordering process.
As a point of reference:
Supply Chain Management Components include:
  • Plan
  • Source
  • Make
  • Deliver
  • Return
Supply Chain Management Flows include:
  • Material flow
  • Information flow
  • Financial flow

The user will be prompted for the String to be stored in the ArrayList and then hit enter. The user will be able to continue to add items to the ArrayList until they just hit enter without typing anything. Once the user does this (hits enter without typing anything), the program will display all of the elements of the ArrayList, both the index and String values, in a table. It will do this via a single loop making use of an iterator method. 2.
