DD Traders: Sourcing for DEMDACO

DD Traders: Sourcing for DEMDACO

DD Traders was the Asian branch of DEMDACO, a privately held company that wholesaled unique gift products, which were marketed and distributed to the specialty retail channel in the United States (as well as some international markets). Carolyn Glasow recognized an opportunity to leverage a quantitative approach to sourcing future allocations across vendors that would also improve the short-term demand transparency that was provided to the company’s key business partners, which could lead to increased bargaining power for price negotiations and production lead-times. This was a recurring issue for Glasow and her sourcing team: how should she allocate product purchases among the various manufacturers that bid for the opportunity to supply products to DD Traders?
