4、ting to answer questions 1 and 2.案例：TONE TINT有限公司TONE TINT有限公司（简称TT公司）是一家卓著的油漆、溶剂、化工产品和油漆装修行业类产品的制造商和供应商。TT公司的产品在专业装饰领域颇受青睐，公司拥有相当大的市场份额。公司以前并没有考虑直接面对消费者，但是来自主要的零售商HW家居公司的询问促使TT公司对HW的顾客进行了系列样品测试供应。测试显示TT公司的产品比竞争者的产品更加得到顾客的欢迎，因而讨论的问题变成了如何能使TT公司成为HM家居固定供应商。设想的前景为TT公司批量运送产品到零售商HM家居公司的配送中心，由HM公司贴牌销售。TT公

5、司管理层对这个建议很感兴趣，这样做能使公司增加生产和销售，而无需额外的市场营销投入，也不用操心建立配送系统。如果产品获得成功，或许能使TT公司的品牌进入零售行业，同时可能开始用“自己的品牌”和主要的零售商签约合作。然而这样的变化可能影响到TT公司长期保持的供应关系，因为采购由繁忙的生产经理负责，所以以前TT公司很少关注长期供应关系。包装TT公司高支出的其中一项是油漆容器。WPP公司长期以来为TT公司供应高质优价的容器。TT公司无人能记起当时如何开始、为什么选择了WPP公司，很可能是因为TT公司和WPP公司的前任销售经理之间的关系。WPP公司供应的容器为5升容量、标准设计的大批量供应的白色容器。

6、TT公司在少量自己品牌产品上贴上标签。WPP公司得知TT公司可能在零售行业的扩展，对TT公司可能的新市场所带来的业务非常动心。WPP公司提出，可以根据TT公司及其零售顾客的需求，“免费”提供必要的设计和模具变化的投资，以满足TT公司生产更多产品种类和不同体积容器的需要。物流问题不过，WPP公司距离TT公司有300公里，运送大量空塑料容器如同运送同样数量的空气。生产小包装零售产品的最终成本将有很大一部分出现在包装成本上。距离20公里之外有一家当地供应商也可以提供同样质量却更低价格的容器。不过TT公司从来没有和这个供应商打过交道。而对于WPP公司，由于多年来的可靠性和快速反应，TT公司对它有一定的

7、忠诚感。经过头脑风暴之后，TT管理层得出了下列几种可能，但对各种可能还未做可行性或恰当性分析。未来供应备选方案1. 继续现有的和WPP公司的供应关系，洽谈一种方案来满足TT公司所需的供应增量和品类增量。2. 投资一个塑料成型设备，招募合适的专业队伍，有效整合TT公司的油漆灌装线和塑料容器生产线，使公司成为容器制造商。3. 对WPP公司说“谢谢，再见”，尽快与当地供应商谈判使之成为TT公司的供应源。4. 和WPP公司建立伙伴合作，让其设立一个油漆灌装线，TT公司整装把油漆发至WPP公司，WPP公司灌装后发往零售公司的配送中心。5. 就容器供应进行全球供应源搜寻。本案例纯属虚构，如有雷同，纯属巧合

No one can remember how or why TT appointed Wrapit, but it may have been due to the friendship between TTs and Wrapits previous sales directors.The containers Wrapi

However TT has never deal with this other supplier, and in any case has a sense of loyalty to Wrapit, which has been a very reliable and responsive supplier over the years. After a brainstorming session, the management
