Discuss and evaluate to what extent each of the three company’s sourcing and distribution strategies (listed below) are lean or agile. This should include identification of those approaches that are lean, and those agile, and explanations of why you categorise them this way:
Q1. Sourcing strategy such as (but not limited to) supplier selection, supplier management and relationship types (60%)
Q2. Distribution strategy including distribution to stores and in-store shop-floor replenishment. For this question Lidl and Aldi can be treated the same (40%)
Word count including Appendices and references but excluding title page: 1,000 maximum (+10% tolerance) so effectively 1,100 words maximum
