This week was filled with making my previous plan for my original work come to life. I enjoyed my research about Amazon’s supply chain strategy because there were lots of visual resources to help me understand complex ideas like route optimization and warehouse layout. I had previously researched Amazon warehouses, but I was able to discover more in depth about their programming of their robots and how they manually and robotically pick and pack their orders. I also learned more about their programs Fulfillment by Amazon and Fulfillment by Merchant. I thought this was important to include because it is what makes Amazon so different and extremely successful than other supply chains. With the advice of my mentor, I decided to create a format for my infographic that features a flowchart tracking the path of an Amazon package. This will hopefully make the order of steps and different outcomes easier to follow. I think there is a lot more to be researched about the different functions of the supply chain, but I want to make sure I can thoroughly develop an understanding and representation of the basics. I plan to go more in depth on these topics for my final product and am enthusiastic about my progress thus far.
