What is Supply Chain

A
supply chain is the system of organizations, people, activities, information and resources involved in moving a product or service from supplier to customer . Supply chain activities transform raw materials and components into a finished product that is delivered to the end customer.
Supply chain management

Developed
in 1980s. Supply chain management (SCM) is the process of planning, implementing, and controlling the operations of the supply chain as efficiently as possible Express the need to integrate the key business processes, from end user through original suppliers.
SCM
The basic idea behind the SCM is that companies and corporations involve themselves in a supply chain by exchanging information regarding market fluctuations, production capabilities. The primary objective of supply chain management is to fulfill customer demands through the most efficient use of resources Effective Supply Chain Mgt. is the next logical step towards increased profits and market share
Supply-Chain Operations Reference (SCOR )

process
reference model developed and endorsed by the Supply-Chain Council (SCC ) enables users to address, improve, and communicate supply chain management practices within and between all interested parties.
SCOR is based on five distinct management processes:

Plan Source Make Deliver
Return
Plan
- balance aggregate demand and supply to develop a course of action which best meets sourcing, production, and delivery requirements. Source - procure goods and services to meet planned or actual demand. Make - transform product to a finished state to meet planned or actual demand. Deliver - Processes that provide finished goods and services to meet planned or actual demand, typically including order management, transportation management, and distribution management. Return - Processes associated with returning or receiving returned products for any reason.
Pillars of SCOR model

The model is based on 3 major "pillars":
Process
Modeling Performance Measurements Best Practices
Process Modeling
All
customer interactions, from order entry through paid invoice. All product (physical material and service) transactions, from your suppliers supplier to your customers customer, including equipment, supplies, spare parts, bulk product, software, etc. All market interactions, from the understanding of aggregate demand to the fulfillment of each order.
Performance Measurements
Contains
more than 150 key indicators that measure the performance of supply chain operations
Best Practices
The
SCOR model defines a best practice as a current, structured, proven and repeatable method for making a positive impact on desired operational results
Current - Must not be emerging Structured - Has clearly stated Goal, Scope, Process, and Procedure Proven - Success has been demonstrated in a working environment. Repeatable - The practice has been proven in multiple environments. Method- Used in a very broad sense to indicate: business process, practice, organizational strategy, enabling technology, business relationship, business model, as well as information or knowledge management. Positive impact on desired operational results - shows operational improvement related to the stated goal
SC Business process integration

Successful
SCM requires a change from managing individual functions to integrating activities into key supply chain processes
chain business process integration involves collaborative work between buyers and suppliers, joint product development, common systems and shared information.
Supply
Keys of critical supply chain business processes

Customer service management Procurement Product development and commercialization Manufacturing flow management/support Physical distribution Outsourcing/partnerships Performance measurement
Customer service management process

Customer Relationship Management concerns the relationship between the organization and its customers Successful organizations use following steps to build customer relationships: establish and maintain customer support determine mutually satisfying goals between organization and customers produce positive feelings in the organization and the customers
Procurement process
Strategic
plans are developed with suppliers to support the manufacturing flow management process and development of new products
firms where operations extend globally, sourcing should be managed on a global basis
In
Procurement process
The
desired outcome is a win-win relationship, where both parties benefit, and reduction times in the design cycle and product development are achieved
Product development and commercialization

Here,
customers and suppliers must be united into the product development process, thus to reduce time to market As product life cycles shorten, the appropriate products must be developed and successfully launched in ever shorter time-schedules to remain competitive
Physical distribution
This
concerns movement of a finished product/service to customers. physical distribution, the customer is the final destination of a marketing channel, and the availability of the product/service is a vital part of each channel participant's marketing effort
In
Outsourcing/partnerships
This
is not just outsourcing the procurement of materials and components, but also outsourcing of services that traditionally have been provided inhouse. The logic of this trend is that the company will increasingly focus on those activities in the value chain where it has a distinctive advantage and everything else it will outsource.
Performance measurement
Experts
found a strong relationship from the largest arcs of supplier and customer integration to market share and profitability. By taking advantage of supplier capabilities and emphasizing a long-term supply chain perspective in customer relationships can be both correlated with firm performance.
