Module Code Synopsis
Supply Chain MGT60404 Supply Chain (SC) is a network of business entities
Management consisting of suppliers' suppliers, suppliers, customers
and customers' customers. Supply chain management
deals with the management of material flows,
information flows and financial flows that cut across
multiple business entities (companies). The co-ordination
and integration of these flows both within and across
companies are critical to compete successfully in today's
market place. Companies have always acknowledged the
fact that the integration and co-ordination among
multiple functional areas will create competitive
advantages. Having said that one might ask “What is so
new about SCM?”. The answer lies in the dimension, viz.,
extended enterprise integration (coordination). As
companies become more global and the competitive
pressures are more intense, companies must think
beyond functional integration and need to think for
integration and co-ordination at extended enterprise
level. An increasing number of Fortune 500 companies
such as Chrysler, Hewlett Packard, IBM, P&G, Unilever,
and Xerox have been stressing importance of SCM and
are leveraging advances in IT and opportunities to form
strategic alliances to tightly integrate their supply chain.
Considering these developments in business
environment, this module aims to introduce you to the
field of SCM.
