, Chapter 1: Introduction to Supply Chain Management
1.1 What is supply Chain Management?
Supply chain management is a set of approaches utilized to efficiently integrate suppliers,
manufacturers, warehouses, and stores, so that merchandise is produced and distributed at
the right quantities, to the right locations, and at the right time, in order to minimize system
wide costs while satisfying service level requirements.
Difficulties of managing the supply chain.
1. Supply chain strategies cannot be determined in isolation. They are directly affected
by another chain that most organizations have, the development chain.
2. It is challenging to design and operate a supply chain so that total system wide costs
are minimized, and system wide service levels are maintained.
3. Uncertainty and risk are inherent in every supply chain.
1.2 The development chain
The Development chain is the set of activities and processes
associated with new product introduction. Includes the
product design phase, the associated capabilities and
knowledge that need to be developed internally, sourcing
decisions, and production plans.
-What to make internally and what to buy from outside
suppliers.
1.3 Global optimization
Challenges of finding the best system wide, globally optimal
and integrated solution
1. Supply chain is a complex network dispersed over a large geography
2. Different facilities in the supply chain frequently have different, conflicting objectives.
Suppliers goals in conflict with manufacturers desire.
3. The supply chain is a dynamic system that evolves/changes over time.
4. System variations over time, e.g contractual agreements.
1.4 Managing uncertainty and risk
Uncertainty can create enormous risk to the organization, various factors contribute to this.
1. Matching supply and demand. Because months before demand is realized,
manufacturers have to commit themselves to specific production levels. Huge
financial and supply risks.
2. Inventory and back-order levels fluctuate considerably across the supply chain.
(Bullwhip effect)
3. Forecasting doesn’t solve the problem. Impossible to predict the precise demand for
a specific item, even with the most advanced forecasting techniques.
4. Demand is not the only source of uncertainty. Delivery lead times, transportation
times can have significant supply chain impact.
5. Recent trends such as lean manufacturing, outsourcing, and offshoring that focus on
cost reduction increase risks significantly. Outsourcing and offshoring imply that the
