11. 16-11 Supply Chain Management
Level One
Supply Chain Strategy or Design
Structure of the supply chain
Strategic supply chain decisions
Locations and capacities of facilities- Whether my facilities in
city or outside the city.
Products to be made or stored at various locations-Either I am
opening stores in various places or one big store
Modes of transportation- what is the modes of the transportation.
Information systems- how much I am investing
Supply chain design must support strategic objectives
SC design decisions are long-term and expensive to reverse
12. 16-12 Supply Chain Management
Level Two
Supply Chain Planning
A set of policies that govern short-term operations
Fixed by the SC design (strategy)
Starts with a forecast of demand for the coming year
13. 16-13 Supply Chain Management
Level Two
Supply Chain Planning
Planning decisions:
Which markets will be supplied from which
locations
Planned buildup of inventories
Subcontracting, backup locations
Inventory policies
Timing and size of market promotions
Must consider demand uncertainty, exchange
rates, competition over the time horizon
14. 16-14 Supply Chain Management
Level Three
Supply Chain Operation
Time horizon is weekly or daily
Decisions about individual customer orders
Configuration is fixed and operating policies are
determined
Goal is to implement the operating policies as
effectively as possible
Allocate orders to inventory or production, set order
due dates, generate pick lists at a warehouse,
allocate an order to a particular shipment, set
delivery schedules, place replenishment orders
Much less uncertainty (short time horizon)

Drivers of Supply Chain Performance
Facilities
places where inventory is stored, assembled, or fabricated
production sites and storage sites
Inventory
raw materials, WIP, finished goods within a supply chain
inventory policies
Transportation
moving inventory from point to point in a supply chain
combinations of transportation modes and routes
Information
data and analysis regarding inventory, transportation, facilities throughout the supply
chain
potentially the biggest driver of supply chain performance
Sourcing
functions a firm performs and functions that are outsourced
Pricing
