LECTURE NR. 1
Supply Chain

 What it supply chain?
o It is dynamic
o Set of companies’ organizations that work together
o A set of organizations
o They are connected
o Because it is a process where they have to coorperate
o Includes constant flow and movement of information, goods, and funds
o Customers!
o All stages may not be present in all chains (e.g., no retailer or distributor they sell the
product directly to the customer)

 What is supply chain management?
o A set of approaches, techniques, and tools
o Integrate and/or coordinate suppliers, manufacturers, warehouses, and stores
o To guarantee the customer’s satisfaction (if the customer is satisfied you are doing good
business)

 Customer’s satisfaction
o When you make a promise to a customer it’s very difficult to repair it if you fuck it up

 Flows in supply chain




Example:

, DELL supply chain
 Objective of a supply chain




SC surplus, consumer value, price, consumer surplus,

 Example: a customer purchases a wireless router from best buy for 60$ (revebue)
 Supply chain incurs costs (information, storage, transportation, components, assembly, etc.)
 difference between 60$ and the sum of all these costs is the supply chain profit
 supply chain profitability is total profit to be shared across all stages of the SC
 success should be measured by total supply chain profitability, not profits at an individual stage
 in service sector the story is different (health care systems)

 Decision phases in a supply chain
o Supply chain strategy or design
 how to structure the supply chain over the next several years
o Supply chain planning
 decisions over the next quarter or year
o Supply chain operation
 daily or weekly operational decisions

, SC Decision: strategy or design
Strategic supply chain decisions:
o Whether to outsource or perform in-house operation,
o Locations and capacities of facilities,
o Products to be made or stored at various locations
o Modes of transportation
o Information systems
 supply chain design decisions are long-term and expensive to reverse; must take into account
market uncertainty

 Planning decisions:
o The goal is to maximize the supply chain surplus over the planning horizon
o Which markets will be supplied from which locations?
o Subcontracting, backup locations
o Inventory policies
o Timing and size of market promotions
 In planning decisions demand uncertainty, exchange rates, competition over the time horizon
must be considered

 SC Decision: operation
o Time horizon is weekly or daily
o Supply chain configuration is fixed, and operating policies are determined
o Operation decisions:
 allocate orders to inventory or production
 set delivery schedules
Much less uncertainty (short time horizon).

 Process views of a supply chain
o Spply chain is a sequence of processes
 Cycle view
 Push/Pull view
