Jamaica Supply Chain Analysis

: This export development configuration for Jamaica proposes a continuous supply chain identifying ways to create wealth for the country and helping to solve economic hardships without burdening the government for investment. A full analysis of the various recommendations of the plan is expected to help Jamaica achieve its economic objectives.

Introduction to the Topic: It’s been far too long Jamaica has been known and listed as one of the most indebted country in the world. The reason for this, quite outspokenly, is that Jamaicans have a tendency to create excellent products with high enough reliability and quality. Due to these quality issues and because of this inability of manufacturers to produce the volume demanded at the rate required,

The aim of this research is to develop a configuration that allows Jamaica to catalogue its exportable products to allow for the direct guaranteed transfer of these products. Jamaica has to create a collection of exportable items and establish a dedicated and certain market through which they will be directed. The idea is to produce and package tangible, high quality products with supply chain reliability. Jamaica would also develop complementary products and services through non-traditional or alternative production methods such as wine fermentation, solar drying or flash freezing, just to name a few. The country would also invest into modern packaging methods and build specialized plants at the product sources to ensure that goods are delivered in a timely manner, at the peak of freshness and at the highest possible quality. Establishing products of exportable quantity and quality, matched to guaranteed market is the key to successfully building an ideal export industry. Improved packaging for marketability, safety and longer storage life must reflect this quality. This creates a continuous sustainable supply chain that will increasingly improve and create great wealth for the

At the end of this research, we hope to have a blueprint of a solid plan to improve upon the export sector of Jamaica.

Purpose: The purpose of conducting this research is to help Jamaica strategically plan its way out poverty through the development of incrementally improving exports.

Significance of the research: This research is important to develop a configuration that allows Jamaica to catalogue its exportable products and create the appropriate and available shelf space to allow for the direct, guaranteed transfer of these products. Khaleel wanted a longer significance so this was added. By conducting this research and developing the proposed export configuration is to help Jamaica strategically plan its way out of poverty through the development of improving exports.
