Introduction to Vendor Management Inventory Abu Talha
What is Supply Chain Management ? Integrating Management and information technology to flourish performance.
What Is Vendor Managed Inventory ?
1. Vendor Managed Inventory or VMI is a process where the vendor creates orders for their customers based on demand information that they receive from the customer. 2. VMI involves collaboration between suppliers and their customers which changes the traditional ordering process.
Schematic Diagram of VMI
WHY USE VMI ?
VMI removes the need for the customers to have significant safety stock. Lower inventories for the customer can lead to significant cost savings.
The customer can make profit from reduced purchasing costs. As the vendor receives data so the customer don’t need to produce purchasing costs ever.
Moreover, the need for purchase order corrections and reconciliation is removed which further reduces purchasing costs.
DUAL BENEFITS (both Supplier and Customer) 1. Less data errors and the overall speed of processing is increased. 2. Having aim to provide better service to the end consumer. 3. Purchase orders are generated on predefined basis. 4. Relation between suppliers and customers are getting strong enough.
Customer Benefits
1. A decrease in stockouts and a decrease in inventory levels. 2. Planning and ordering cost will be decreased. 3. Overall service level is elevated. 4. The customer is more focused in providing great service.
Suppliers Benefits
1. A reduction in customer ordering errors. 2. Promotions can be easily promoted to inventory plans. 3. Customers' point of sell data makes forecasting easier. 4. Philosophy to customer’s stock levels helps to identify priorities.
Comparison between VMI & RMI
Vendor Managed Inventory(VMI)
1. Vendor stocks the resources in suppliers premises. 2. Vendor is solely responsible for the stock availability. 3. VMI focuses on collaboration and share information between trading partners. 4. It is termed as a model of family business.
Retail Managed Inventory (RMI)
1. Supplier stocks the resources in buyer’s premises.2. Retailer is solely responsible for the stock availability. 3. RMI always focused on improving forecasting. 4. It is termed as business model of business.

When planning on producing a new product and/or service, the key factor is the product and service design. Successful designs come down to these basic principles: translate customers' wants and needs, refine existing products and services, develop new products and services, formulate quality goals, formulate cost targets, construct and test prototypes, document specifications, and translate products and service specification into process specifications. The process of design has certain steps that include motivation, ideas for improvement, organizational capabilities, and forecasting. In the product process innovations, research and development play a significant role. Because of the influence a product and service design can have on an organization, the design process is encouraged to be tied in with the organization's strategy and take into account some key considerations.

Zafin regional CEO: Using Technology to Drive Earnings GrowthZafin
In his presentation to Sibos 2014 delegates in Boston on September 29, 2014, John Kohari, CEO – Americas at Zafin, discussed how the Product and Pricing Lifecycle Management (PPLM) approach to augmenting existing systems delivers sustainable revenue generation for financial institutions.
Studies show that top performing companies are using “touchless” (or straight-through) processing to process invoices in 1-3 days, compared to more than 15 days for the average company. This enables them to maximize discount capture and “best pricing” through spend analysis and contract management.
Every invoice that is processed in a touchless manner saves a tremendous amount of time, resources and money. Many top performing companies have implemented touchless processing and they continue to reap the benefits and improve year after year.
This 45-minute session with industry expert David Hay will discuss:
-How touchless processing can be achieved
-Process change and automation
-Collaborating with procurement to achieve touchless transactions
-Usage of cloud and mobile technologies

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.
2. Critical questions
• What is Demand Chain Management?
• How does it differ from traditional Supply
Chain Management?
• Who does Demand Chain Management
Impact?
• How does it improve the procurement and
payment processes?
• Why the shift?
3. What is Demand Chain Management?
• According to D. Ericsson D.C.M. is a natural next step in
the evolution of the Supply Chain Management concept
based on the necessity for adaption to changing external
and internal conditions and the availability of new tools.
• Demand Chain Management is a shift in procurement
strategy from a stance of reactive to proactive.
• It is a shift from processing paperwork to proactively
negotiating strategic agreements on behalf of the
organization in anticipation of needs based on feedback
from users, historic data, organizational data.
• It is about developing strong working relationships with
end users, Logistics staff, Accounts Payable staff, and
Suppliers to ensure that organizational needs are met on a
cost effective, timely basis.
5. Philosophy Shift
• Demand Chain Management is about
breaking down the barriers via a philosophy
shift from a “silo” driven, territorial, “not my
department” approach to one of a holistic,
strategic, solution driven philosophy.
• How is this achieved?.......Through
partnerships. It is all about garnering trust,
following through, and being creative in
breaking down existing barriers.
6. How is this achieved?
• Get out there! Go visit your users and the individuals you are
buying for. See their work environment, the limitations they
face, meet with them regularly to follow up on issues, resolution,
future needs.
• Listen. Your users and partner areas such as Accounts Payable,
Central Distribution, Warehousing, as well as Suppliers can
provide you with a wealth of information, if you let them.
• Be creative. Look for creative, strategic solutions to potential
problems, talk with the users and get feedback, think outside of
the norm. Don’t be afraid to do things differently than they
have always been done.
• Partner and Network with your end users, your counterparts in
Accounts Payable, Central Distribution, Warehousing and in
your supply network, build relationships based upon mutual
understandings and common goals.
7. Demand Chain Management v.
Supply Chain Management
• The primary difference between demand chain
management and supply chain management is the driver.
The focus is moved from a transactional approach to a
strategic approach.
• Rather than being in a reactive mode of responding to a
request, Demand Chain Management is about working
with people upstream and downstream to find the best
means for meeting the organization’s needs on a strategic
basis.
• Demand Chain Management is all about collaboration and
information sharing, which is often not easy in today’s
world where people are often expected to produce optimal
results with limited resources.
• Demand Chain Management often results in process and
cost savings to the organization as well as improved
relations across units.
8. Who does Demand Chain
Management Impact?
• Typically everyone along the procurement/distribution/payment
continuum.
• Ideally the impact is positive for all parties and can include:
greater understanding of organizational needs, a better process
for the user, buyer, supplier, accounts payable staff; improved
communication and improved responsiveness. All of this should
result in reduced costs to the organization.
9. Who does Demand Chain
Management Impact?
• For the User, they have the benefit of a Procurement specialist
who is intimately familiar with their needs and their organization
who can negotiate a better contract on their behalf.
• For The Procurement Individual, it results in a reduction in
transactional business and allows them time to develop better
contracts, to improve on existing contracts, and is a shift from
processing purchase orders to managing their resultant strategic
contracts on behalf of the organization.
• For the Supplier, it increases their ability to meet their
contractual requirements as the increased communication both
upstream and downstream should result in clearer product
specifications, a clearer understanding of performance
requirements, and in many cases a shorter payment cycle.
10. Who does Demand Chain Management
Impact?
• For Warehousing, Distribution and Logistics staff,
depending upon the contract it can result in an increased need for
warehousing and logistics management or a reduced need as in
the case of direct-delivery contracts.
• For Accounts Payable Individuals, it can result in improved
methods for payment such as consolidated monthly billing thus
reducing the number of invoices handled monthly; an evaluated
receipts process where the signed, received packing slip serves a
dual function as both the proof of delivery and is a means for
issuing payment thus reducing the number of incoming invoices
and streamlining the payment process; or a sub-voucher process
for automated payments that are a regular amount, issued
regularly over the course of the contract; ACH/EFT payments;
procurement card utilization.
11. Why Make the Shift?
• Shrinking resources in today’s economy makes
collaboration and knowledge sharing a necessity.
• We live in a world that is more complex than in the
past by merit of the new global economy.
• Savings to be gained: measured in both
bid/negotiated savings and in efficiencies or
process savings.
• …………………………………It just makes sense.
12. Demand Chain Process Improvements
Sub-Voucher Process
• “Sub Vouchers”: this is a payment process in which the
supplier is paid a consistent amount on a regular basis over the
life of the contract.
• Trigger: same amount invoiced monthly
• Action: the system is set up so that payment is automatically
issued on a monthly basis for the agreed upon amount. Works
well for property leases, equipment rentals, equipment leases.
Any situation where the amount paid is always the same over the
life of the contract.
• Result: the system automatically generates the payment without
additional intervention other than either distribution of charges
or reconciliation on the back end. Payment occurs with minimal
use of resources and on-time.
• Involved Parties: User unit, Purchasing, Accounts Payable,
Supplier, Systems
13. COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
Companies have to deal with three condisions:
• Alignment ( create shared incentives)
• Agility (respond quickly to short –term
change)
• Adaptability (adjust design of supply chain)
14. Demand Chain Process Improvements
Evaluated Receipts
• Evaluated Receipts: a system in which a supplier is paid based on
submittal of a signed, received packing slip and existing contract with
line item pricing.
• Trigger: contract with line item pricing and repetitive purchases
• Action: the staff receive the goods into the system, the system is set
up to prompt generation of payment based on what was received at
the contracted price and payment is issued directly based on
receiving with no invoice generation by the supplier and minimal
accounts payable interaction.
• Result: use of fewer resources resulting from reduced invoice
generation for the supplier and invoice handling by Accounts
Payable. Payment is issued for what is received and the contracted
price is always paid, ensuring overpayment does not occur. With
technology the process can be as automated as the buyer would like.
• Involved Parties: Supplier, Receiving, Accounts Payable,
Purchasing, Systems
15. Demand Chain Process Improvements
Consolidated Monthly Summary Billing
• Consolidated Monthly Billing: rather than individual invoices, the
supplier submits either electronically or in hard copy a monthly
consolidated invoice of all activity.
• Trigger: contracted pricing, high activity level, multiple delivery
addresses, multiple ordering entities under a single contract.
• Action: the contracted pricing is loaded into the system or maintained in
a database where it can be extracted from or “hit up against” when
invoicing is submitted. The supplier is required to submit pricing in a
designated format that contains all of the necessary data to confirm
pricing and delivery. A consolidated invoice is submitted by the supplier
once monthly and audited against contracted pricing. Payment is made
monthly based on the result of the invoice audit (this can be a manual
process or automated).
• Result: significant reduction in invoice volume resulting in better use of
resources, process can be automated for verifying pricing.
• Involved Parties: Accounts Payable, Systems, Purchasing, Supplier
16. Demand Chain Process Improvements
ACH payments
• ACH/EFT Payments/Wire Transfers: these are automated on-line
payments made directly to the supplier’s bank account.
• Trigger: contract that requires automated payment to the supplier or
where wire transfer is required. Works well for international transactions.
• Action: when purchase order is set up the payment mechanism must be
identified as ACH or Wire Transfer and the appropriate banking
information must be identified for Accounts Payable. Upon receipt of
an invoice, Accounts Payable sets up the payment to occur via ACH or
wire transfer according to current banking rules for processing of E-
commerce Payments or Business to Business Transactions.
• Result: payment occurs more rapidly, can be readily identified by the
supplier. For items requiring pre-payment this can often work well as an
efficient means for payment. For international purchases it is an
excellent choice as the payment can be verified as received by both the
originator and receiver.
• Involved Parties: Purchasing, Accounts Payable, Systems, Banking
Institution and possibly other financial departments in the organization.
17. Demand Chain Process Improvements
Procurement related Improvements
• Alignment with key units to provide higher level of
service
• Contracting efforts should be aligned with user needs
and over-arching organizational needs
• Procurement efforts should be structured in such a way
that the results include measureable improvements in
process or pricing
