Digital Supply Chain - Insights on Driving the Digital Supply Chain Transform...Lora Cecere
Executive Summary
It started with the internet, and the drum beat continues. Mobile. Social. Cloud. Digital Products. Telematics. The Internet of Things. The list of enablers is endless.
Over the last decade, digital marketing departments quickly took advantage of new technologies to power marketing capabilities. As a result, companies have new products and services; but, over the last decade there has been little change in supply chain processes.
There is a great divide in organizations today. There are digital teams in marketing while there are traditional supply chain processes in operations. Many supply chain leaders are asking how they digitize their supply chain practices. This report is designed to help. Here we share a five-step process to get started, and we provide insights from recent research on how to transform manufacturing processes.
What Is Digital Business?
Digitization transforms businesses. A digital business model uses new forms of technology to create new forms of revenue and business value. It is about the use of combinations of technologies to sense changes in real-time and shape a meaningful output.
Digital business is about much, much more than the redefinition of business processes for B2B and B2C. While e-business strategies are foundational, and necessary, it is about more than e-business. In today’s supply chain, while B2C models are well defined and new supply chain models have embraced and redefined e-commerce delivery, B2B processes lag B2C. Today, only 9% of B2B commerce business flows through business networks. There are no digital B2B officers. Companies have been slow to adopt new forms of B2B.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
2. What Is a Supply Chain?

activities
• Integrated through information, planning,
and integration activities
• Cost and service levels

9. The Importance of Supply Chain Management
• Dealing with uncertain environments
• Shorter product life cycles of high-technology products
– Less opportunity to accumulate historical data on customer
demand
– Wide choice of competing products makes it difficult to
predict demand
• The growth of technologies such as the Internet enable
greater collaboration between supply chain trading
partners
– If you don’t do it, your competitor will
• Availability of SCM technologies on the market
– Firms have access to multiple products (e.g., SAP, Baan,
Oracle, JD Edwards) with which to integrate internal
processes

1. Cycle view of a supply chain process
• Broken down into 4 Process Cycles viz..
CUSTOMER ORDER CYCLE
REPLENISHMENT CYCLE
MANUFACTURING CYCLE
PROCUREMENT CYCLE
• Each cycle consists of 6 sub processes
1 Supplier stage markets product
2 Buyer stage places the order
3 Supply stage receives the order
4 Supplier stage supplies the order
5 Buyer stage receives supply
6 Buyer returns reverse to supplies to supplier or third party

17. Key Issues in Supply Chain Mgt.
Network Planning –
• recognize the capacity of each warehouse to
determine production requirements and
inventory levels at the vendor’s facility for each
product
• develop transportation flows between these
facilities to the warehouses
• minimize total production, inventory, and
transportation costs satisfy service level
requirements?
4/10/2013 Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com 17
18. Key Issues in Supply Chain Mgt.
Inventory Control –
• Where is inventory held, (supplier, warehouse,
retailer)
• how much, and why?
• Is inventory held due to uncertainty in
production, distribution or customer demand?
• Is there anything that can be done to reduce
uncertainty thereby reducing inventory?
4/10/2013 Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com 18
19. Key Issues in Supply Chain Mgt.
Distribution Strategies –
• Relationships between suppliers and
warehouse operators that specify delivery
lead times, appointment processes, and
hours for receiving.
• How can this relationship optimize supply
chain efficiency?
4/10/2013 Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com 19
20. Key Issues in Supply Chain Mgt.
Supply Chain Integration and Strategic
Partnering –
• information sharing and operational
planning are keys to successfully
integrated supply chain.
• But what info. will be shared?
• How will it be used?
• What level of integration is needed?
• What partnerships can be implemented?
4/10/2013 Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com 20
21. Key Issues in Supply Chain Mgt.
• Product Design –
• Effective design, in particular an unified case code
number, plays several critical roles in supply chain
efficiency.
• Not having an unified case code number creates,
complicated production, increases inventory holdings at
the vendors facility, delays delivery to the warehouse
and if received incorrectly delays delivery to the stores.
• What role does supply chain management play in
implementation of product design to simplify production
requirements and reduce lead-time for inventory
replenishment?
4/10/2013 Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com 21
22. Key Issues in Supply Chain Mgt.
Customer Value –
• Measure of a company’s performance to
its customer, based upon the entire range

23. Key Issues in Supply Chain Mgt.
Information Technology and Decision-
Support Systems –
• much of the current interest in supply chain mgt.
is motivated by the opportunities that appeared
due to the abundance of data and the savings
that can be achieved by sophisticated analysis
of these data.
• But what data should be transferred? Which are
significant ? How should data be analyzed and
used? Impact of the Internet? What
infrastructure is required internally and between
partners?
