While Human Capital and Oil might seem more important than replacement parts; should Huffman’s access to such parts be limited or eliminated, the wear and tear of their assets will eventually catch up to them and keep them from operating. Thus, these three resources are fundamental for Huffman’s success and all three are vulnerable to a disaster whether natural or manmade. The limitations attached to these three resources are complex.

Question 1 Carefully review the Assignment scenario/case study. From the limited information in the scenario/case study, identify at least three direct and specific long-term and three direct and specific short term operations changes that Albatross Anchor must make to gain a clear and sustainable competitive advantage (provide detailed information to validate and support each recommended change).
