Chi Minh City University of Economics and Finance (UEF) CHAPTER DESCRIPTION OF THE ISSUE The Lego Group, which is headquartered in Billund, Denmark, is one of the largest toy manufacturers in the world The name ‘Lego’ is an abbreviation of the two Danish words “Lego godt”, meaning “play well” Lego’s main products have been the bricks and figures that children have played with for generations The Danish company has experienced sustained growth since its founding in 1932, and for most of its history its major manufacturing facilities were located in Denmark Lego has continuously enhanced product quality to fulfill the growing demands of generations of kids throughout the world by using toys to spark kids' imaginations, curiosities, and excitement They define quality as the effort to continuously improve in order to offer the greatest possible playthings for kids and their growth Since then, Lego has won the faith of many parents and is now gaining popularity all over the world But few people are aware that Lego had to go through a challenging development process in the past in order to attain the remarkable successes it has now In 2003, Lego was facing tough competition from imitators and manufacturers of electronic toys In an effort to reduce costs, the group decided to initiate a gradual restructuring process that continues today To reduce labor costs, manually intensive processes were outsourced, keeping only the highly skilled workers in Billund Lego’s workforce was gradually reduced from 8,300 employees in 2003 to approximately 4,200 in 2010 Lego’s restructuring process, coupled with double digit sales growth in the past few years, has led to the company’s expansion abroad and made its workforce more international These changes presented supply chain and human resources challenges to the company The supply chain had to be reengineered to simplify production without reducing quality Improved logistics planning allowed Lego to work more closely with retailers, suppliers, and the new outsourcing companies Tieu luan Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics and Finance (UEF) CHAPTER SOLUTION We will examine Lego's SWOT model, one of the pillars supporting the present major improvements of the world's top manufacturer of built toys, before learning about the remedies that the company has outlined for its system 2.1 STRENGTHS The Lego Group enjoys a well-known brand name around the world The business is acknowledged as one of the major manufacturers in the toy sector Another asset of the business is its capacity for technological innovation without compromising its fundamental principles The Lego Group's capacity for constant product innovation helps to draw in new customers and raise brand recognition As the Lego Group has been in the toy production industry for a long time, the expertise the firm has allowed them to meet the needs of their customers Second, the company's experience makes it simple for them to identify and execute adjustments to their product lines Another asset of the business is the variety of its products The business has expanded its brand into television, video games, and motion pictures The youngsters play the game while learning via play thanks to the Lego Group These advantages also enable the business to compete with other toy industry companies 2.2 WEAKNESSES The Lego Group's biggest flaw is that its product designs are simple to imitate Since many businesses in the sector provide goods and services that are identical to those offered under the Lego Group brand Therefore, making it difficult for the business to totally differentiate its product lines from what its rivals are offering The issue of the Lego Group is that it finds it challenging to set itself apart from other participants in the market due to the quick loss of identity caused by the growth of the toy sector Because there are many low-cost alternatives Tieu luan Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics and Finance (UEF) accessible, the company's products may lose market share because they are pricey Another flaw in the firm is its singular product category focus 2.3 OPPORTUNITIES To address the new market target demographics, The Lego Group will need to create additional branding-related programs and activities However, this will assist the business in extending its product range to new nations worldwide The organization also has the chance to improve its learning by utilizing the most recent technology Additionally, it helps the business have a better awareness of the ongoing developments in the sector The Lego Group has the option of moving its production processes and activities to a location where they may be produced more affordably Additionally, it will provide the business a chance to lower its production costs Second, it will assist the business in achieving long-term growth in the sector Children are increasingly choosing other forms of entertainment, which has a significant impact on the electronic industry To attract more kids to its brand, the corporation might set up gaming tournaments at the school It could lower the switch count while raising the retention rate 2.4 THREATS The primary threat to the Lego Group is that its product designs are simple to imitate Since many businesses in the sector provide goods and services that are identical to those offered under the Lego Group brand Therefore, making it difficult for the business to totally differentiate its product lines from what its rivals are offering In addition, Hasbro, the second-largest toy maker in the world, is getting ready to join the market by introducing a brand-new line of competing products named Kre-O (Lego Group: Building Strategy Harvard Case Solution & Analysis, 2011) Tieu luan Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics and Finance (UEF) Here is a diagram that illustrates the SWOT •The oldest trademark •The experience summarized •Diversification of the products •Loss of identity •The expensive products •Focus on the one product category in the past Strengths Weaknesses Threats Opportunities •Product designs are simple to imitate •The second-largest toy maker in the world, is getting ready to join the market • Use the latest technologies •Move to the other place where is cheaper than •Organize the game competitions in the school Therefore, as part of the solution, Lego chose to move to SAP business suite software SAP AG, a German company that specializes in enterprise software solutions, is one of the leading software companies in the world SAP’s software products include a variety of applications designed to efficiently support all of a company’s essential functions and operations Lego chose to implement SAP’s Supply Chain Management (SCM), Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), and Enterprise Resources Planning (ERP) modules The SCM module includes essential features such as supply chain monitoring and analysis as well as forecasting, planning, and inventory optimization The PLM module enables managers to optimize development processes and systems The ERP module includes, among other applications,

From 2017 to now, the multiple-choice test has been applied to most of the exams, leading to the situation of copying each other quite easily Therefore, it has to be mixed into many different exam codes and mixing multiple-choice questions has become a regular job for teachers However, mixing exams directly on the computer will use resources on the computer and slow down weak machines Not to mention manual mixing will take a lot of time and effort of teachers To optimize teaching, teachers need to find a software to mix multiplechoice questions (reverse exams, shuffle questions) that is fast, accurate, easy to use, free, and meets all subjects Since then, multiple-choice mixing software has been born to serve the needs of teachers, in which the most popular and widely used online
