CHAPTER 1
1.1 What Starts a Supply Chain?




Flows:

1. Flow of materials (raw materials, work in progress, finished goods)
2. Flow of information (e.g. order confirmation or dispatch advice)
3. Flow of funds (the money that flows back into the supply chain)
4. Reverse flows: (Goods, e.g. quality defect products or obsolete products,
Information, e.g. customer feedback, Packaging material, e.g. outer cartons,
Transportation equipment, e.g. cages, pallets, or containers)

Forces (which one starts the supply chain?)

5. Product supply
6. Customer demand

 Product Supply (commodities) - any available Product that Seller currently has on
hand or that has been transferred to the Buyer as of the Agreement Date.
 Customer demand (customised products) - chain starts moving after you have
expressed your wish or after you have set your order.

CHAPTER 3
3.1 Introduction to Sourcing

Main business activities:

 Selecting new suppliers - this includes finding suppliers that provide products and/or
services that best meet the required needs, analysing them and setting up contracts.

 Manage the supplier over a period of time - this could be short, such as a one-off
purchase such as a factory buying a new generator. Or it could be a much longer
time period, such as a component supplier providing daily core materials for an
electronics manufacturer over several years.

, 3.1.1 The Purchasing Process: Pre-order Steps




Pre – order process:

1. Identify the need for a product (for example a yellow dress with a unique design)
2. Finalise the specification (e.g. clothing buttons/fasteners). This includes all their
specifications from a potential supplier, for example cost, quality, service, and lead-
time for delivery.
3. Looking for potential suppliers and thus start sourcing. The garment supplier might
be a new trading partner or an existing one, depending on the specifications and
capabilities.
4. The buying team will select a short list of preferred suppliers. This is the start of the
next process step called tendering. The manufacturing suppliers will submit their
tenders.
5. Negotiation will then follow with each chosen supplier where the detail of a
potential buyer/supplier agreement is established. Items will be traded during this
negotiation and the detail finalised.
6. The supplier that most appropriately satisfies the business needs outlined in the
initial specification steps will be selected as the ideal candidate.
7. The final pre-order step is the creation of one or several contracts. These will usually
be prepared by the buying team, potentially using their legal team, and will clarify
the detail supporting the buyer/supplier agreement. With both parties signing the
contract the pre-order steps are completed; therefore, the yellow fashion dress is
ready to be made and sold.
