This document provides an overview of supply chain management and procurement. It discusses key topics like information exchange in SCM, enterprise resource planning systems, the role of purchasing, and make-or-buy decisions. ERP systems are described as integrated software that coordinates business functions from procurement to invoicing. The benefits of supply chain collaboration are outlined, including reduced costs and inventory through shared information and planning. Outsourcing can provide benefits like economies of scale but also risks if critical knowledge is lost.

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.
Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

10. Diagnosing and Improving Supply Chain
Information Flows
1. Map the business process(es) containing the information
flows of interest
2. Develop an information flow profile that identifies

27. What is purchasing?
The classic definition
Definitions
To buy materials of the right quality , in the right quantity,
from the right source, delivered to the right place, at the
right time at the right price.
Modern definition
To be contrasted with
The process undertaken by the organisational unit which, either as a
function or a part of an integrated supply chain, is responsible for
procuring or assisting users to procure in the most efficient manner
required suppliers at the right time, quality, quantity and price and
the management of suppliers, thereby contributing to the competitive
advantage of the enterprise and the achievement of its corporate strategy.
28. What is purchasing?
Definition of procurement
Procurement is the process of acquiring goods, works and services,
covering both acquisition from third parties and from in-house providers.
The process spans the whole life cycle from identification of needs,
through to the end of the useful life of an asset. It involves options
appraisal and the critical ‘make or buy’ decision.

4 Make or Buy decisions
32. Procurement and Outsourcing
• Outsourcing components have increased
progressively over the years
• Some industries have been outsourcing for
an extended time
– Fashion Industry (Nike) (all manufacturing
outsourced)
– Electronics Industry
• Cisco (major suppliers across the world)
• Apple (over 70% of components outsourced)
34. Outsourcing Benefits and Risks
Benefits
• Economies of scale
– Aggregation of multiple orders reduces costs, both in
purchasing and in manufacturing
• Risk pooling
– Demand uncertainty transferred to the suppliers
– Suppliers reduce uncertainty through the risk-pooling
effect
• Reduce capital investment
– Capital investment transferred to suppliers.
– Suppliers’ higher investment shared between customers.
35. Outsourcing Benefits
• Focus on core competency
– Buyer can focus on its core strength
– Allows buyer to differentiate from its competitors
• Increased flexibility
– The ability to better react to changes in customer demand
– The ability to use the supplier’s technical knowledge to accelerate
product development cycle time
– The ability to gain access to new technologies and innovation.
– Critical in certain industries:
• High tech where technologies change very frequently
• Fashion where products have a short life cycle
36. Outsourcing Risks
Loss of Competitive Knowledge
• Outsourcing critical components to suppliers may
open up opportunities for competitors
• Outsourcing implies that companies lose their
ability to introduce new designs based on their
own agenda rather than the supplier’s agenda
• Outsourcing the manufacturing of various
components to different suppliers may prevent the
development of new insights, innovations, and
solutions that typically require cross-functional
teamwork
37. Trends
• Outsourcing of non-core activities to suppliers
• Focusing of operations
• A reduction in supply base as companies shift from
multiple to single sourcing
• Long-term buyer supplier relationships.
• Partnerships rather than adversarial trading
The outcome of these changes are that companies are
establishing new relationships with their suppliers.
38. Supply Chain Collaboration – What Is It?
• Many different definitions depending on perspective
• The means by which companies within the supply chain work
together towards mutual goals by sharing
– Ideas
– Information
– Processes
– Knowledge
– Information
– Risks
– Rewards
• Why collaborate?
– Accelerate entry into new markets
– Changes the relationship between cost/value/profit equation

• The green arrow describes
increasing complexity and
sophistication of:
– Information systems
– Systems infrastructure
– Decision support systems
– Planning mechanisms
– Information sharing
– Process understanding
• Higher levels of collaboration
imply the need for both trading
partners to have equivalent (or
close) levels of supply chain
maturity
• Synchronized collaboration
demands joint planning, R&D
and sharing of information and
processing models
– Movement to real-time
