• SCM is basically an information-based process that
integrates the various activities from raw material supply
to manufacturing and finally to the supply of finished
products and services to end customer.
• SCM takes into consideration cross-functional
integration. This integrated process results in enhanced
customer value at the least cost.
• The objective of every chain is to maximize the overall
value generated through –
 Faster and timely delivery
 Improved quality and services
 Reduced cost

Competition today is not between individual companies but between
supply chains. Hence, for a supply chain to be successful, it should
integrate the three individual business processes of procurement,
manufacturing and distribution by consolidating the sub-linkages in
each of the functional areas.

• This is one of the major cost drivers in the supply chain.
• The procurement cost is influenced by the following
factors:
 The way procurement decisions are made
 Procedures adopted in the procurement process
 Relationship with the suppliers
 Firm’s credibility, Market intelligence
• Procurement cost can be controlled through long-term
relationships with suppliers, by considering the supplier
as an extension of your manufacturing facility.
Supply Chain Linkage: Procurement

• A major step in this process is reduction of the supplier
base and induction of few reliable suppliers who are
ready to work for requirement of the firm’s supply chain.
Rank Xerox has reduced its supplier base from 5000
to 300. The company has appointed a few
distributors who collect the materials from various
suppliers and dispatch them to the manufacturer. As
a result, the manufacturer needs to tap only a few
source of supply.

• Material Requirement Planning (MRP) is a critical element
in the procurement process. Hence, in a co-partnership
arrangement the material planning process will cover
inventory requirements for the entire supply chain.
In US, auto giants such as Ford, GM and Chrysler engage
in online procurement planning with their ancillary
suppliers. Due to real-time information sharing, a supply
chain operating on the JIT system is flexible enough to
take care of any fluctuations in market demand.

• Now a days firms , instead of banking on cost reduction
through Economies of Scale, plan strategies to reduce
the total supply chain cost through manufacturing
flexibility in order to rapidly respond to the changing
market demands.
• Manufacturing flexibility does not necessarily means the
use of automation or robotics in the process plant, but
rather a zero lead time to meet customer requirements
with zero inventories.

• In SCM the major task of distribution relates to the
management of demand, that is to make available right
product at the right place with the right time at least cost.
• Requirement fulfillment is done through proper
distribution network.
• Logistics plays a vital role in understanding demand
through improved information flow by way of quick
response to customer requirements.

In general, logistics includes physical distribution,
warehousing, freight transportation (inbound and
outbound).
Supply chain (for a manufacturer) includes the logistics
business functions above, and also includes procurement,
purchasing, manufacturing operations, production
scheduling, inventory control, materials management,
facilities location planning, the information technology to
coordinate between suppliers, the company, and
customers (wholesalers and retailers and end users).

Before the strating..play the video of UPS..and let them draw the vaue chain of the UPS ..or let them noted down the logistics activities involved in UPS August 28, 1907: 19-year-old Jim Casey and 18-year-old Claude Ryan founded the American Messenger Company in Seattle, Washington, capitalized with $100 in debt. United Parcel Service, Inc. (NYSE: UPS), colloquially referred to as UPS, is a package delivery company. Headquartered in Sandy Springs, Georgia, United States, UPS delivers more than 15 million packages a day to 6.1 million customers in more than 220 countries and territories around the world.[2][3][4] UPS is well known for its brown trucks, internally known as package cars (hence the company nickname "The Big Brown Machine"). UPS also operates its own airline (IATA: 5X, ICAO: UPS, Call sign: UPS) based in Louisville, Kentucky.

  7. First procurement decision then purchasing..both are interrelated goes together… Consolidate.. To unite into one system or whole; combine: consolidated five separate Material planning..which quality materials has to procure… Material scheduling…by how much quantity..within what time frame…. Scheduling is an important tool for manufacturing and engineering, where it can have a major impact on the productivity of a process. In manufacturing, the purpose of scheduling is to minimize the production time and costs, by telling a production facility when to make, with which staff, and on which equipment. Production scheduling aims to maximize the efficiency of the operation and reduce costs. Production scheduling tools greatly outperform older manual scheduling methods. These provide the production scheduler with powerful graphical interfaces which can be used to visually optimize real-time work loads in various stages of production, and pattern recognition allows the software to automatically create scheduling opportunities which might not be apparent without this view into the data. For example, an airline might wish to minimize the number of airport gates required for its aircraft, in order to reduce costs, and scheduling software can allow the planners to see how this can be done, by analyzing time tables, aircraft usage, or the flow of passengers. Companies use backward and forward scheduling to allocate plant and machinery resources, plan human resources, plan production processes and purchase materials. Forward scheduling is planning the tasks from the date resources become available to determine the shipping date or the due date. Backward scheduling is planning the tasks from the due date or required-by date to determine the start date and/or any changes in capacity required. The benefits of production scheduling include: Process change-over reduction Inventory reduction, leveling Reduced scheduling effort Increased production efficiency Labor load leveling Accurate delivery date quotes Real time information Play the video of procurement or purchasinfg…. Just in time (JIT) is a production strategy that strives to improve a business return on investment by reducing in-process inventory and associated carrying costs. Just-in-time production method is also called the Toyota Production System. To meet JIT objectives, the process relies on signals or Kanban (看板 Kanban?) between different points in the process, which tell production when to make the next part. Kanban are usually 'tickets' but can be simple visual signals, such as the presence or absence of a part on a shelf. Implemented correctly, JIT focuses on continuous improvement and can improve a manufacturing organization's return on investment, quality, and efficiency. To achieve continuous improvement key areas of focus could be flow, employee involvement and quality. Postponement is a business strategy that maximizes possible benefit and minimizes risk by delaying further investment into a product or service until the last possible moment. An example of this strategy is Dell Computers' build-to-order online store. ''''Postponement in SCM ' Postponement is a concept in supply chain management where the manufacturer produces a generic product which can be modified at the later stages when the final hand over to the customer happens. Take for example of a umbrella manufacturer who does not know what will be the final demand of umbrellas of blue color. So to tackle this he manufactures all the umbrellas of white colors and later dye them when finally the rainy season comes and color demand pictures gets clearer. This way not only he saves himself from the lost sales and less customer satisfaction but also this way he can maintain a low buffer for each color stock as he is free to use all the white umbrellas to dye them in any of the colors.

  12. After this show the video of capegamini sCM summit//.. As we have seen logistics mix…..supply cahin mix (related functions are in value chain) When defining supply chain management, it is common to relate it to logistics to better understand the approach, since the concept of supply chain management started in the logistics literature. Halldorsson and Larson show that supply chain management relative to logistics can be viewed in four different ways (see Figure 2-4). They propose that one reason for these multiple perspectives is that supply chain management has not been made transparent by one universal definition. Figure 2-4: Perspectives of SCM versus Logistic Source: Halldorsson, et al., 2000, p.220 According to the Traditionalists view, the logistic function hires “supply chain analysts” to focus on cross-functional, and inter-organizational issues. Some authors do not distinguish between supply chain management and logistic. They just change the name. The Unionists view supply chain management as more than simply logistic, but rather also as purchasing, operations, and marketing 9we saw the function of logistics in logistics mix). While Intersectionists, describe it as a staff function or internal consultants. SCM considers strategic, integrative elements from several functional areas (logistics, purchasing, operations, and marketing); however, it does not involve tactical elements, such as picking orders in a warehouse. For the supply chain management implemented at DHBA, the most relevant definition from the ones mentioned above would be Unionist view of supply chain management. This is because the supply chain management in DHBA involves all decisions along the flow of the goods (purchasing, manufacturing, logistic, customer service). Examples of such view are definitions from Christopher and Schary. Christopher defines supply chain management as an extension of logistic. Logistic is essentially a planning orientation and framework that seeks to create a single plan for the flow of products and information through a business. Supply chain management builds upon this framework and seeks to achieve linkage and coordination between processes of the entities in the pipeline. Schary also sees supply chain as more than logistic. It includes the flow of materials and products to customers and more than that; it includes also the organizations that are part of these processes, crossing organizational boundaries to link their internal operations as part of this system. The supply chain recognizes that there are cooperative arrangements that tie firms to each other and in that way tie their success to the chain as a whole. The scope of supply chain spans the entire set of organizations from procurement of material and product components to delivery of the completed product to the final customer. The comparison of logistic and supply chain management can also be made on the basis of the value chain theory by Porter (1985, p. 33). Every company is a collection of activities that are performed to design, produce, and market, deliver, and support its product. They can be represented in a generic value chain shown in Figure 2-5.

The result of the survey shows (next), that most common benefits are related to increased responsiveness of the companies (external and internal), lower cost, better quality, and closer relationships with key partners. Source: Fawcet, 2003, p. 12 The main barriers presented in the Figure 3-12 can be summarized into management and organizational issues within the organization and with external partners. The most common bridges that can help overcome barriers are: senior and functional management support, open and honest information sharing, good measurement systems, process documentation, education and training, use of supply chain advisory council.
