Strategic Warehouse Management

Final Paper
Focus of the Final Paper
Strategic Warehouse Management, Inc. (SWM) is a U.S. based warehousing organization in the construction
and management of warehouse operations. The CEO’s market development team has determined that there is an
opportunity to open a warehouse in Australia that could serve multiple businesses. The CEO plans to open a
“non-resident company” (Land and Tax News, 2012). The CEO has also decided that the warehouse can be
opened in any city in Australia. Some clients in Australia have also asked SWM to manage the flow of goods
from Australia to U.S. locations. The CEO wants to get a preliminary plan developed as soon as possible before
going further.
