Janet owns an
organisation producing different types of canned sardines in Mombasa on the
Kenyan coast. She sells her products directly throughout Kenya and to larger
exporters. She employs 30 workers. She buys from local fisheries and has
negotiated a deal to buy from other fishers cooperatives along the Kenyan coast
if the demand for canned food rises. What type of purchasing and supply
organisational structure has Janet decided on?

Question

Answer

Centralised, because she does all the purchasing activities
for her organisation.

Answer

Centralised,
because her plant is situated in Mombasa which makes deliveries from fisheries
easier.

Answer

Decentralised,
because she can buy from local fishers as well as fishers cooperatives along
the coast.

Answer

Cross-functional
teams, since the organisation has a small work force from the local community
who can continually source new local fishers as potential suppliers.
