SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENTSUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT Supply chain management is a term

that has emerged in recent years that captures the essence of integrated logistics and even goes beyond it. SCM emphasizes the logistics interactions that take place among the functions of marketing, logistics and production within a firm and those interactions that take place between the legally separate firms within the product flow channel

Supply chains encompass the companies and the business activities needed to design, make, deliver, and use a product or service.

IMPORTANT DECISION IN IMPORTANT DECISION IN SCMSCM

Production-What products does the market want? How much of which products should be produced and by when?

Inventory-What inventory should be stocked at each stage in a supply chain? How much inventory should be held as raw materials, semi finished, or finished goods?

Location-Where should facilities for production and inventory storage be located? Where are the most cost efficient locations for production and for storage of inventory?

Transportation-How should inventory be moved from one supply chain location to another?

Information-How much data should be collected and how much information should be shared?

BENEFITS OF SUPPLY CHAIN BENEFITS OF SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENTMANAGEMENT

Supply chain management bridges the gaps between suppliers and customers.

  It allows businesses to conduct operations at an

appropriate time and place for the benefits of suppliers and customers.

  Due to it, wholesalers get the best prices from

manufacturers, retailers get the best prices from wholesalers and the lead time is reduced.

  Retailers get a choice of goods and can also offer

good services to customers.  It makes movements simple, cost-effective and

efficient as transport is simpler.  Expertise can be developed in a particular type of

operation.

PROBLEM ALONG THE PROBLEM ALONG THE SCMSCM

Poor customer service- The customer does not get what he requires at right time or he receives it late,

High inventory costs- If a company has high inventory cost and no synchronization between stocks and demand, its product are bound to have higher costs.

  Loss of revenues- A company has too many non-valued

activities.  Extra cost of expediting shipments- If customer orders

are not shipped at time or shipped using costly means, customer would be unhappy.

  Bullwhip effect- If a company has erratic shifts in orders

(Bullwhip effect). It is bound to face production and inventory problems.

  Phantom stock outs- Customers are told that the product

is out of stock but in reality it is available.
