Assignment
In a meeting with senior management, the Director of Operations points out that one of your LTL carriers has been in the news lately. It seems that they are part of an operation that is transporting stolen goods across Canada. Following the meeting, the CEO has asked you to prepare a preliminary report that will detail the method that you will use in qualifying a potential new supplier of truckload LTL service from the Montreal supplier.
Specifically, you have been asked to:
Detail the factors that you would use in comparing Less than Truckload (LTL) companies against each other and develop a proposed weight or ranking of the factors according to what you consider to be their level of importance in selecting a new carrier.
Consider and discuss the potential areas that a new ethical purchasing policy needs to address. These include:
The rationale for why BPW should have a corporate ethical policy,
Who the policy should be protecting, and
What ethical criteria should guide decisions on ethical conduct. The CEO is not requesting you develop the actual policy at this time, rather consider the specific areas and discuss each in detail.
