On page 6 is a high-level diagram of Obermeyer’s supply chain.  Using case information and intermediaries from the “Who’s Who in the Global Supply Chain” video, redraw this diagram showing the complexity of this global supply chain.
Exhibit 3 shows that Obermeyer experienced a decrease in SKUs of women’s parkas during the period of 1987/88 – 1992/93.  The Marketing Department was probably unhappy with this development while the operations personnel were likely happy.  Why?
The case indicates that some production is likely to shift from Hong Kong to China.  Exhibit 8 provides a cost comparison of operations in Hong Kong and China.  What underlying assumptions is Obermeyer making about increased production in China?
