The Cost of Interrupting Information Supply Chains
Louise Reader
Read on Louise Reader App.
This real-life case study analyses how information supply chains are critical in the running of day to day operations of a bank corporation. It explores how a hasty decision to close a local branch department designed to aid staff on the ground to deal with the head office IT experts was later reversed. It had caused major communication issues, as well as delays and duplication of administrative work, thus affecting various levels of the information supply chain. A major bank in Eastern Europe, Altberg Bank, recently merged with another big bank in Western Europe, Zollern bank. Banking has become a very competitive business, nationally and internationally. Bank charges, service offerings and budgets have to take this into account. Employees are expensive, with their salaries, office accommodation and other related costs. Banks do not have expensive machinery, raw materials or stock inventory, but they do have expensive employees tending to IT systems and equipment. When required to contain costs, or maximizing financial results from a merger, any top management would look closely at what could be pared down. Aimed at students on supply chain and operations management courses, the case presents cost-benefit analysis, the interdependence of seemingly separate operations and the importance of information management. This case study examines a fast changing fiercely competitive world where management is always under pressure to make decisions to improve financial performance. Readers are provided with insights into internal supply chains of communication and decision making. Readers are also able to develop an understanding of how and why security is a vital element in the running of IT systems in any financial institution.
