The document discusses implementing supply chain management. It recommends using a process framework like the Supply Chain Operations Reference model to plan and separate supply chain systems. The supply chain needs to plan for sourcing inputs, making and delivering products, returns, and enabling the chain. Goals like keeping costs low while providing good service must be balanced. Risks should be mitigated and the supply chain made flexible and visible through a control tower. Innovation, technology, automation, and collaboration internally and externally can improve the supply chain.

2. USE A PROCESS FRAMEWORK
The Supply Chain Operations Reference model, or
the SCOR Model, are the most popular way to
separate systems.

3. PLAN THE SUPPLY CHAIN
There are four main elements in supply chain that
need to be included when figuring how you want
your supply chain to work.

4. SOURCE INPUTS
Direct purchases and indirect purchases are typically
divided into separate teams and different processes.

5. MAKE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
Both non-manufactured and manufactured products
need to be managed under a process.

6. DELIVER PRODUCTS
The three main categories of the deliver process are
order management, transportation, and distribution.

7. RETURN PRODUCTS
The reverse supply chain can have a huge impact on
the relationship the company has with their
customers.

8. ENABLE SUPPLY CHAINS
The supply chain needs to be built on top of solid
foundation. The chain explains plan, source, make,
deliver, and return.

9. PRIORITIZE GOALS
Keeping costs low, providing a high level of service
and earing a profit for your business are important
goals to a company.

10. CALCULATE TOTAL COSTS
Decreasing cost in one place in supply chain can
increase cost in another.

11. MANAGE COMPETING GOALS
Two confits that commonly occur are between sales
and operations and operations and logistics
managers.

12. MITIGATE RISKS
The difference between a minor incident and a
major disruption often comes down to how well-
prepared you are.

13. INVEST IN FLEXIBILITY
Supply chains need to be flexible due to the
constant state of change.

14. INCREASE VISIBILITY WITH A
CONTROL TOWER
The three steps supply chain management involves
are planning, execution, and visibility.

15. SUPPLY CHAIN INNOVATION
Innovation is how new and better ways to create
value are used to improve supply chain.

16. ECOMMERCE AND SOCIAL MEDIA
Social media and Ecommerce are both used to track
product reviews, recommendations, and
endorsements.

17. INTERNET AND DATA TRENDS
Five important information technology capabilities
are the internet, customer profiling, big data, cloud
computing, and analytics.

18. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND
MACHINE LEARNING
Artificial intelligence is an important part of supply
chain and needs to be integrated into its operations.

19. BLOCKCHAIN
A blockchain is a way to keep a list of information
and transactions that occur between people and
companies.

20. AUTOMATION, ROBOTICS, AND
DRONES
Artificial intelligence allows new machines to know
what is happening around them and can respond.

21. GET THE RIGHT PEOPLE IN THE
RIGHT POSITIONS
Organizations need to prepare their employees to
start training and education in order to be prepared
for their position.

22. SELECT THE RIGHT TECHNOLOGIES
Implementing new technology too late to the supply
chain can reduce the improvement.

23. COLLABORATE INTERNALLY
Cross-functional teams are a way to collaborate
information internally.

24. COLLABORATE EXTERNALLY
External collaboration can eliminate waste
throughout the supply chain.

25. MANAGE PROJECTS EFFECTIVELY
Being good at leading and managing projects is
important to implement in the supply chain agenda.

26. BOTTOM-LINE
Understand the supply chain process is important to
create value for customers.
