Manwell Toy Importer-Case Study

Title: Manwell Toy Importer-Case Study

* Must have abstract and case summarization, which is already done since I started .(both are included)
* Manwell Toy Importers, found on page 364 of your textbook. Please read the case, summarize the facts of the case and respond to the questions at the conclusion of the case.
What are the cost elements included in the costs of having the toys leave the leave manufacturer and reach a consolidator in either Hong Kong or Singapore?
At present the consolidator loads toys as received, and every time a container is full he sends it to Manwell in Canada. What if the consolidator, in either Hong Kong or Singapore, had a container destined for each major Manwell outlet and filled each container with toys for that outlet only? What would the costs be of that system?
What are the comparable cost elements of their present system?
Taking your answers to questions two and three, construct a chart showing costs of each and how they should be compared to show both similarities and differences.
If Manwell wished to sell more toys in French-speaking Quebec, how can it cater to this market’s desire for seeing everything printed in French? Will this place additional strains on Manwell’s logistics system? How?
Assume Manwell is interested in comparing the frequency of sailings by containerships from Hong Kong to Vancouver and Singapore to Halifax. Using shipping journals, the Web, or other sources, see whether you can find the answer.
Assume that Manwell also wishes to sell toys to Canadian customers over the Web. Does this make a difference as to where Manwell warehouses should be? Why?
