! Strategic decision making in SCM (3 drivers):

1. Segmentation:

The 4 drivers of SC performance:
a. Inventory (where do I put it and how much?)
b. Information (how do I communicate with my suppliers, customers?; information ow:
proof of delivery, invoices, order inquiry etc)
c. Facilities (warehouses, factories, distribution centers)
d. Transport

2. De-coupling point= the point in the SC where supply and demand meet; the point in
the SC where the product is linked to a speci c customer order (the order
penetration point- when the order is internalised; external becomes internal) -where
does supply meet demand?

The 5 inventory strategies for the de-coupling point:
a. Purchase and make to order (No inventory at all; totul e la comanda)
b. Make to order
c. Assemble to order
d. Make to stock
e. Make and deliver to stock (stock is already there; a supermarket)

3. Lean and agile - e cient vs adaptive
