SCM involves coordinating all processes involved in transforming raw materials into final products and delivering them to customers. The key processes are planning, sourcing, manufacturing, delivery, and returns. Stakeholders include suppliers, manufacturers, warehouses, logistics providers, retailers, and customers. Common challenges are high costs, meeting demand, and global complexities. Benefits of effective SCM include improved inventory, order fulfillment, customer service, visibility, productivity, agility, and quality. Key performance indicators help measure order accuracy, cash cycle times, fill rates, inventory levels, margins, and more. Emerging technologies like IoT, analytics, cloud, automation, blockchain, and AI are transforming SCM.
A presentation featuring AMR Research, Dr. Larry Mallon of SM21, Chris Ives of Argos UK, and Todd Buelow of One Network Enterprises, discussing how to make your logistics operations thrive in the global economy.
As companies work to become demand driven, it is critical that demand and transportation are optimized in concert with each other. A stand alone transportation plan, optimized in isolation, can undermine the entire supply chain since it is not properly aligned with demand.
This document discusses supply chain management and the future of logistics. It covers key factors for supply chain success like route optimization, inventory management, and technology. It discusses concepts like demand driven value networks, integrative improvement systems, and supply chain maturity. It addresses topics such as inventory optimization, different planning needs, talent management, asset management, transportation methods, warehousing, packaging, and the roles of technology. It outlines principles of asset management and discusses the future of supply chains, challenges, and measures for success.
1) The document discusses the resource-based view of the firm, which argues that a firm's resources and capabilities are the source of its competitive advantage.
2) Core competencies are the activities a firm performs better than competitors and are difficult to imitate, allowing for sustained competitive advantage.
3) Resources can be tangible (physical/financial assets) or intangible (human capital, organizational processes, reputation). Capabilities are how the firm combines resources.
4) For resources/capabilities to provide sustained advantage, they must be valuable, rare, costly to imitate, and the firm must be organized to exploit them.
The document discusses supply chain management and logistics. It defines supply chain management as managing the network of processes involved in procurement, manufacturing, distribution, and sales order fulfillment. Logistics is described as the backbone that drives supply chains by managing the flow of goods and information between entities. Information technology is highlighted as a key enabler of modern global supply chains. The roles of transportation, warehouses, vendors, and third-party logistics providers in facilitating complex international supply chain networks are also outlined.
The document discusses supply chain management concepts through a case study on Walmart's supply chain operations and another case study on Tata Nano's target costing approach.
The key points are:
1) Walmart simplified its supply chain by reducing inventory and using information to track goods more efficiently. This allowed faster transportation and delivery to stores.
2) Tata Nano used target costing to design the Nano, assigning cost targets to components to drive costs out of the supply chain. This involved reducing inventory, eliminating delays, and optimizing transportation networks.
3) Effective supply chain management can improve both efficiency through reduced costs and responsiveness through faster fulfillment of customer demand.

L&T Construction faced challenges managing its large and geographically dispersed supply chain for construction projects. It implemented an Enterprise Information Portal (EIP) to connect all project sites to headquarters. EIP helped track activities, leverage purchasing power, reduce costs and increase returns. It brought together design, development, bidding, budgets and planning on a single platform. To further streamline vendors, L&T implemented a web-based supply chain management solution. This allowed online ordering and offline delivery, integrating participants and minimizing supply chain costs. The solution and EIP helped L&T achieve supply chain success despite the complexities of the construction industry.

Value chain analysis examines the separate business activities that create value for customers. Activities include inbound logistics, operations, outbound logistics, marketing and sales, and services. Each activity adds value and the goal is to offer more value than the costs of the activities. A competitive advantage can be gained by analyzing and improving the value chain.
Tata Motors uses value chain analysis to gain efficiencies. For inbound logistics, it has long-term contracts with suppliers and uses IT for transparency. Its operations include training programs and distributed manufacturing. Outbound logistics utilizes stockyards and contracts. Marketing identifies customer needs and sales targets institutional clients. Services provides easy access to spare parts and workshops.
Project Proposal Sample: RFID on Warehouse Management SystemCheri Amour Calicdan
This document is a thesis submitted for a Master's degree in Information Technology that proposes developing a Warehouse Management System integrated with RFID technology. The project aims to automate manual processes at a warehouse to reduce errors, improve data accuracy, increase speed and control over inventory. Currently the warehouse relies on a paper-based semi-automated system with 65 personnel which is inefficient and ineffective. The proposed system would use RFID readers on forklifts and fixed locations, along with RFID tags on assets and shelves, to automate tracking and provide real-time inventory and reports. This is intended to streamline operations and address bottlenecks affecting the production cycle.
Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management provides capabilities to help drive modern manufacturing operations management. This includes tracking the entire production lifecycle, supporting mixed mode manufacturing, gaining product configuration capabilities, and integrating engineering change management. It also allows companies to scale manufacturing operations using cloud and edge scale units for dedicated workloads. Sensor data intelligence and production floor execution help provide real-time visibility and empower workers. Guides can also be integrated for enhanced training. The goal is to simplify and enhance asset, production, and inventory management to optimize manufacturing operations.
Supply chain management involves coordinating activities from suppliers to customers. It aims to acquire materials, convert them into finished products, and deliver them to customers. The key is integrating business processes like procurement, production, and distribution. Information and material must flow throughout the supply chain. The overall goal is meeting customer demand efficiently while achieving business objectives like revenue growth, better asset use, and cost reduction. An effective supply chain considers design, planning at strategic, tactical and operational levels, and transaction processing. It requires collaboration across functions to compress time and ensure quality from suppliers to customers.
