Supply Chain Integration: In
Simple Definition
What is supply chain integration? For people not involved in
the supply chain industry, this may be a vague phrase. While
some have encountered this while browsing the internet,
many are still oblivious about its value. If you are one of
those individuals unaware of the meaning of the supply
chain integration, keep reading this blog to find out its
definition. If you already know it, read on as well to know
how to explain it in simple terms to others who don’t.
To fully understand the phrase, let us first define supply
chain and integration. Supply chain refers to a system of
resources, information, activities, people and organizations
involved in moving a product or service from the supplier to
the customer. It is the change of natural resources and raw
materials into the finished product, which is delivered to the
customer. Integration, on the other hand, is simply the act of
combining into an integral whole.
Putting them together, supply chain integration simply refers
to the association and collaboration of suppliers, customers
and trading partners within the supply chain. It is the
coordination of information, material and financial flows
between and among the involved parties. It benefits all
participants if done effectively and monitored carefully. What
do you need to have effective supply chain integration?
Supply chain integration requires the total commitment of the
upper management and communication among involved
parties. The relationship and commitment should be strong
enough to ensure that a company has the raw materials to
produce outputs. For instance, a computer company must
select specific vendors to supply motherboards and sign a
contract, which will require it to deliver a specific quantity at
a definite time.
To maximize the effectiveness of the supply chain
integration, the infrastructures of companies should be
linked. The computer system of the seller should allow the
buyer to track the status of the order and updates should be
provided to the buyer. When the product is ready for
delivery, the transport agency should appraise both the
buyer and seller of the shipment status.
