Company Business
Dell Technologies is a strategically aligned family of businesses, poised to become the
essential infrastructure company, from the edge to the core to the cloud, as we continue our
mission to advance human progress through technology. Dell seek to accomplish this by
executing two, related, high-level strategic initiatives: helping its customers transform their
businesses through digital, IT, workforce, and security transformation, while extending leading
market positions in client solutions and IT infrastructure. Dell Technologies brings together
the entire infrastructure from hardware to software to services. Dell Technologies is a leader in
the traditional technology of today and a leader in the cloud-native infrastructure of tomorrow.
Through Dell recent combination with EMC, Dell Technologies offers next-generation
solutions through our Client Solutions Group, Infrastructure Solutions Group, VMware, Inc.,
RSA Information Security, SecureWorks Corp., Pivotal Software, Inc., Boomi, Inc., and
Virtustream, Inc. Dell solutions enable digital transformation and encompass software-defined
data centers, all-flash arrays, hybrid cloud, converged and hyper-converged infrastructure,
cloud-native software application development tools, mobile, and security solutions.
In Product and services, Dell design, develop, manufacture, market, sell, and support a
wide range of products and services.
Dell have cut their inventories from having ’20 to 25 days of inventory’ to having ‘no
warehouse’ and no more than two hours of inventory in its factories’ Dell only has 2 hours
worth of inventory in their manufacturing plants. The company assembled computers based on
customer orders and “held no finished goods inventory of standardized machines”. Holding no
inventory allowed Dell to reduce its costs.
Dell business model generally gives us flexibility to manage product backlog at any
point in time by expediting shipping or prioritizing customer orders toward products that have
shorter lead times, thereby reducing product backlog and increasing current period revenue.
Product backlog at any point in time may not result in the generation of any predictable amount
of net revenue in any subsequent period. Just-in-time also has a much faster setup and saves
resources by streamlining production systems. This as a result prevents overproduction of
computers, which will therefore help Dell with the elimination of waste within their company.
Discussion
The competitive advantages of Dell over its competitors are that Dell has well thought
out JIT inventory system and very good supplier integration. This has helped in cutting down
inventory costs within the business and has also reduced the lead time in serving customer
orders for computers and laptops. Dell realised that this would be a excellent opportunity for
their business processes therefore.
