What is Supply Chain Management?
Here are two definitions:
The design and management of seamless, value-added process
across organizational boundaries to meet the real needs of the
end customer
-- Institute for Supply Management
Managing supply and demand, sourcing raw materials and parts,
manufacturing and assembly, warehousing and inventory
tracking, order entry and order management, distribution across
all channels, and delivery to the customer
-- The Supply Chain Council

Academic definitions also help. Please also Google SCM so that
you understand the different focus each organization places.
Compare them to the plain English one in the next slide.
What is Supply Chain Management?
In plain English:
Supply chain management (SCM) is the management of the flow
of goods from point of production to point of consumption.
SCM includes the movement and storage of raw materials,
21. work-in-process inventory, and finished goods throughout
networks, channels, and nodes in the provision of products and
services required by end customers in a supply chain.

Could you define SCM in your own words? What is your
perspective? Activities? Players involved? Goals and
objectives? Functional orientation?
The Value Chain Perspective
Porter‘s Value Chain
Supply side:
raw materials, inbound logistics and production processes
Demand side: outbound logistics, marketing and sales.
suppliers
customers
The value chain concept comes from Michael Porter, a Harvard
professor. In every step of the way when goods are moving from
suppliers to customers, each supply chain member adds value to
it. A supply chain consists of many value chains (your suppliers
have their own value chains and so do your customers). We will
discuss the value chain more in depth in a separate PPT but
right now you need to know the supply and demand sides of this
supply chain and where value is being added.
Long supply chains in ancient times:

sea
History of SCM: Ancient Trading Routes
Ancient trading routes are supply chain routes/networks. Why
did people engage in trading?

Why did Columbus sail west from Spain in 1492?
History of SCM: Ancient Trading Routes
Ancient trading routes also included water/ocean routes. In 15th
century, Indian Ocean saw busy merchant fleets from many
countries, transporting china, silk, spices from mainly East and
South Asia to the Arabian Peninsula, Africa, and Europe.

Derived from military logistics: logistics moves before military
maneuvers.
Tooth to Tail Ratio (T3R): ratio of combat force vs. support
personnel (think the almighty Mongolian army in the 13th
century!)
History of Supply Chain Management
23. We want more of this.
And less of this.
Soldiers carry 50-100 lbs.
Please research the T3R. We need more fierce teeth than body
for the dog, more combat soldiers than cooks in the army, and
have soldiers carry less into battlefield. Do you see the same
T3R in 1) your everyday life, 2) your organization, and 3)
anything that the government (or CSUSB) does?

U.S. Military T3R: Efficient?
The Other end of the spear : the tooth-to-tail ratio (T3R) in
modern military operations, John J. McGrath, 2007, p. 83.
8
In the end of World War II (ETO 1945 or European Theater
Operations), about 2 in 5 soldiers were combat solders or teeth.
Sixty years later, it’s one in four. Why such a change and how
can we build a military with more “teeth” and less “tail?”
