Transportation Managing the Flow of the Supply Chain Supply Chain Management A Logistics Perspective 8eCASE 10-1Supreme Sound ExplosionSupreme Sound Explosion (SSE). located in Memphis. Tennessee, produces concertquality sound systems for rock. rap. and country musicians. Recently. the companypartnered with two new suppliers to create an innovative line of speakers called Blasters.Blasters provide 100 decibels more sound versus competitors' speakers. Interest inthe product is great as potential buyers want to reduce the number of sound systemcomponents that need to be taken on tour. This is no small matter when you considerthat groups like the Rolling Stones and U2 regularly use dozens of tractor trailers tomove equipment during their stadium tours. Tour costs can be reduced if equipment isstreamlined and fewer trucks are needed to haul the equipment between tour stops.Also. more tour stops can be scheduled as loading/unloading/setup/tear down time isreduced.One of the key suppliers makes woofers in Athens. Georgia. while the other makestweeters in Portland. Oregon. Two tweeters are inserted into each woofer to make aBlaster.
