Q In March 2011, the Japanese automobile industry was stricken by a triple disaster: an earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear crisis. Automakers made their respective recovery efforts to resume production and delivery of vehicles. However, it took months before they could reach pre-disaster levels of operations. Nissan, however, exhibited an exemplary case of resilient practices and supply chain disruption management. This case discusses the events and the measures taken by Nissan to recover from disaster. In your case report, you should discuss Nissan's resilient practices and supply chain disruption management and its pitfalls in existing practices. You should critically analyze company's strategies and suggest the future course of action. Here are a couple of guideline questions that you should discuss and address in your paper: 1. Analyze Nissan's business continuity plan (BCP) to recover its supply chain operations. Provide your overall assessment of Nissan's BCP. 2. Consider the five operational strategies discussed by Tomlin and Wang (2011) for managing supply chain disruption risk. Evaluate Nissan on each of these. 3. What other resilience strategies did Nissan use? Discuss both mitigation strategies that are implemented in anticipation of any possible disruption and contingency strategies that are implemented at the time of crisis to prevent further damage or to restore operations. 4. In your opinion, had Nissan developed the perfect recovery strategy or is there still room for improvement for future crisis? Make recommendations, if any, for improvement. Tomlin, B., & Wang, Y. (2011). Operational strategies for managing supply chain disruption risk. The handbook of integrated risk management in global supply chains, 79-101. Prepare a team report that should be no more than 10 pages. The title, reference, and appendix pages do NOT count towards this page length requirement. Organize your paper in sections and subsections using appropriate headings. I expect to see, at least, three main sections in your report: 1) Introduction, 2) Analysis, and 3) Conclusions and Recommendations. Recommendations should be realistic, reasonable, and achievable. Submit your team report in the "M3 Case Study Team Report" dropbox. One submission for each team is enough.
