Brief presentation on some of the supply chain challenges facing companies and what some are doing. Entry level stuff

Business

A key point to remember
• Not many companies mean
to have negative influences
• Generally it happens by
accident
• Companies don’t think about
impact and consequences of
actions
• Bad systems, short term
thinking and poor institutions
mean incentives are often
wrong

Example one: Deforestation is linked with the spread of Ebola

Example two: Bangladesh & working conditions

Example three: Business contributions to corruption

Example four: Business contributions to climate change

So how are some companies trying to respond to this?
• Policy development via stakeholder engagement
• Policy implementation and target setting
• Supplier and business partner engagement
• Investor and campaign group conversations
• Seeking benchmarks with peers
• Tuning ‘risk radar’ to upcoming issues
• Embedding new practices into the business

Asia Pulp & Paper, Wilmar, Cargill & zero deforestation

The Bangladesh Accord of brands, focusing
on structural integrity

Companies leading the way to tackle climate change

Why do companies take these actions?
• Reputation risk management
• Supply security
• Customer retention
• Moral imperatives
• Employee recruitment, retention and motivation
• Investor and campaign group pressure
• License to Operate (political and social)

So, what does the future look like?
• Global environment under pressure (50% of species lost in last 50 years)
• Rising population & consumer demands (9 billion by 2050)
• Political & economic volatility
• Increased transparency and perhaps regulation
• Pressure to tackle risks – and seize innovation opportunities
• Final point: Innovation in design, process, management and engagement will
be KEY to better management and business success in the long term!

Innovation

FathimaamraJainulabd

Innovation involves creating new products, processes, or services to improve efficiency and gain competitive advantages. Successful innovators are passionate, persistent, optimistic, and protect their ideas. Innovation is important for economic growth and solving problems. While people fear failure, failing is part of learning and progress. There are four types of innovation - incremental, disruptive, architectural, and radical - that help companies innovate. Innovation positively impacts both society through technological advancement and well-being, and organizations through competitive advantages and increased productivity.

PMILebanonChapter

Lean management focuses on eliminating waste and optimizing processes to increase efficiency. Toyota pioneered the lean approach through its Toyota Production System after World War 2 due to financial constraints. Lean aims to identify and remove non-value added activities through techniques like value stream mapping and by reducing defects, overproduction, waiting times and excess inventory. While some companies initially see benefits from lean, many fail to sustain improvements long-term if they don't fully engage employees and align projects to strategic objectives.

What is Last Mile Delivery Part 2: Adapting to Retail and e-Commerce Order Fu...

Angela Carver

The increasing popularity of omni-channel retailing has created many challenges for transportation and logistics providers servicing retailers. This has forced transportation operations to think outside of the box and make significant changes to their service offering portfolios. Omni-channel retailing has made fulfilling customer orders efficiently and cost effectively much more complex with a variety of new distribution strategies. E-commerce orders grew 47% between 2009 and 2014 in comparison to only 6% at brick and mortar store locations. E-commerce sales are expected to reach $2.3 trillion by 2017. This shift in retail channel utilization has increased the order fulfillment needs and associated labor costs. Retailers are evaluating existing distribution networks to verify they can handle the added volume and are seeking out additional delivery solutions as a supplement. In many cases, these additions are in the form of local and regional distribution centers. Rising shipping costs have also been a significant challenge for last mile delivery as they account for approximately 28% of total transportation costs. Shippers have many options for counteracting rising shipping costs including: intermodal freight utilization to link logistics clusters, shipment consolidation with crossdocking, primary delivery channel elimination and click-to-collect/ parcel locker centers to consolidate parcel drop-offs. Governmental regulations have also created problems related to last mile logistics, both in the US and abroad. Regulations such as vehicle size and weight limitations, parking policies and noise restrictions. To avoid these issues some transportation operations are investing in smaller delivery vehicles for use in local regional delivery operations. These vehicles are typically more compliant with imposed noise and size restrictions. In areas where even these smaller vehicles are not an option some logistics providers have started to offer bike delivery and contracted one-time delivery services through businesses such as Uber. Demand for up-to-date order information has also become an issue for many omni-channel retailers. Customers now want to know when their order has been accepted, processed, shipped and delivered. In order to provide this level of detail omni-channel supply chains are implementing inventory management software such as WMS with customer relationship management capabilities to provide real-time information to customers. In order to provide a positive final impression on consumers retailers must focus on last mile logistics. Focusing on these potential solutions can help retailers to improve the effectiveness, efficiency and cost of last mile delivery operations.

Level of entrepreneurial intensity in corporate entrepreneurship

DeepikaDixit23

Three dimensions characterize entrepreneurial organizations: innovativeness, risk-taking, and proactiveness. There are four types of innovation - discontinuous, dynamically continuous, continuous, and imitation. Firms approach proactiveness in three ways: seeking new opportunities, introducing new products ahead of competitors, and eliminating mature/declining operations. The entrepreneurial grid is a useful tool to define an organization's entrepreneurial strategy based on the frequency and degree of its entrepreneurship.

Sustainable Supply Chains. Drivers, activity and issues

Innovation Forum Publishing

The document discusses sustainable supply chains and the challenges that businesses face in achieving fully sustainable supply chains. It notes that a sustainable supply chain would safeguard the environment and human rights, follow international standards, engage suppliers on social and environmental issues, and have a net positive impact. However, no company yet has a fully sustainable supply chain, as most impacts occur lower in tiers of suppliers. Working to address issues in lower tiers can be difficult and expensive. Traceability, transparency, and government action to create a level playing field for companies are seen as important steps, but full sustainability may not be achievable by targeted dates of 2020, 2025 or 2030.

Modern slavery, trends, actions, examples

Innovation Forum Publishing

Modern slavery and forced labor continue to exist in global supply chains, with recent examples uncovered in industries like shrimp fishing in Thailand and coffee plantations in Brazil. New legislation in countries like the UK and US requires large companies to increase transparency about their efforts to address risks of slavery in their supply chains. While some companies have made progress through initiatives like strengthened recruitment policies and local monitoring of high-risk areas, most agree that eradicating slavery from global supply chains remains a significant challenge that requires distinct policies, activities, and approaches.

Zodiac Signs and Food Preferences_ What Your Sign Says About Your Taste

Supply chain challenges and what some companies are doing about it

1. How irresponsible business affects the world, and what some companies are doing about it Tobias Webb, Founder & MD, Innovation Forum November 6th 2014, Riga www.innovation-forum.co.uk Tobiaswebb.blogspot.com tobias.Webb@innovation-forum.co.uk

2. A key point to remember • Not many companies mean to have negative influences • Generally it happens by accident • Companies don’t think about impact and consequences of actions • Bad systems, short term thinking and poor institutions mean incentives are often wrong

3. Example one: Deforestation is linked with the spread of Ebola

4. Example two: Bangladesh & working conditions

5. Example three: Business contributions to corruption

6. Example four: Business contributions to climate change

7. So how are some companies trying to respond to this? • Policy development via stakeholder engagement • Policy implementation and target setting • Supplier and business partner engagement • Investor and campaign group conversations • Seeking benchmarks with peers • Tuning ‘risk radar’ to upcoming issues • Embedding new practices into the business

8. Asia Pulp & Paper, Wilmar, Cargill & zero deforestation

9. The Bangladesh Accord of brands, focusing on structural integrity

10. Business alliances against corruption

11. Companies leading the way to tackle climate change

12. Why do companies take these actions? • Reputation risk management • Supply security • Customer retention • Moral imperatives • Employee recruitment, retention and motivation • Investor and campaign group pressure • License to Operate (political and social)

13.

14. So, what does the future look like? • Global environment under pressure (50% of species lost in last 50 years) • Rising population & consumer demands (9 billion by 2050) • Political & economic volatility • Increased transparency and perhaps regulation • Pressure to tackle risks – and seize innovation opportunities • Final point: Innovation in design, process, management and engagement will be KEY to better management and business success in the long term!

15.
