Edexcel are stupid :l

Here is a list of some of the communications requirements that Jonathan and Sue have identified.

• Her aim is to keep waste to a minimum by ordering just in time from her suppliers.

Explain to Jonathan and Sue the implications of using different communications media to meet their objectives. Illustrate your explanation with relevant examples. Summarise the benefits and limitations and recommend what Jonathan and Sue should do to get their message across.

How the hell would you use communications media for that?

For a mock exam, edexcel gave us a PERT chart that was impossible to fill in. Tell me thats not stupid?

I don't understand why they have put "ordering just in time", its not the method, its the time you place your order

Internet ordering?

Same as above =P

Ok because online ordering hasn't ensured that you can order at the very last minute?

It's just asking you to explain to them how useful the internet would be to them as you can literally order things sometimes the same day you want them delivered etc.

Stock control, they can set-up a system which everytime a barcode is scanned it is taken away from the number of stock, they can set a re-order number for each product so when a product reaches the re-order number it will automatically re-order it. The advantages are saves time, can easily change on a daily basis and there will be enough storage space.

True, didn't think about same day delivery.
