standardizing evaluation process– Provide tools to aid in fairly evaluating every
employee
![Page 21: Chapter 3b: Business Functions and Supply Chains(p101-115)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815d72550346895dcb7b41/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Inter-organizational Supply Chain Management Systems:p111-115
Inventory is decreasing while gross domestic product is increasing
Money saved from inventory can be spent elsewhere Reduction in inventory attributed to supply chain
management systems– Streamline operations throughout chain
Newer SCM systems connect multiple organizations
![Page 23: Chapter 3b: Business Functions and Supply Chains(p101-115)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815d72550346895dcb7b41/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
![Page 24: Chapter 3b: Business Functions and Supply Chains(p101-115)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815d72550346895dcb7b41/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

The Importance of Trust
Supply chain systems work best when all businesses are sharing information
Trust between allied companies facilitates collaboration
Nissan UK: parts come from UK and Europe, and the systems are linked to Nissan’s Production Control System– 97% of parts are delivered on time– 98% of cars are completed well within time
![Page 25: Chapter 3b: Business Functions and Supply Chains(p101-115)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815d72550346895dcb7b41/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Distrust:
Risk of disclosing important figures is present, like taking advantage of demand figures:– If Comp A buys from Comp B and has access to
Comp B’s demand figures, it might disclose the information to competitors, stirring competition forcing prices down!
GM and Goodyear– Goodyear can have lower inventory if it knows the
demand schedule for tyres.25
![Page 26: Chapter 3b: Business Functions and Supply Chains(p101-115)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815d72550346895dcb7b41/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Goodyear:
It could then calibrate its own order for raw materials
Manufacturing capacity to suit GM– Save money and pass some of the savings to its
client in the form of cheaper products It could replenish the client’s inventory of
tyres before GM run out of them OR– It could deliver it straight to the assembly line, just
as needed and save warehouse costs!26
![Page 27: Chapter 3b: Business Functions and Supply Chains(p101-115)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815d72550346895dcb7b41/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

The Musical Chairs of Inventory
Small enterprises do not use SCM systems– Affects more powerful organization that small
enterprise is linked to Inventory turns: the number of times the business
sells its inventory per year:– Sales revenue/average value of inventory
Example: – GM has an increase of 55%– Goodyear decreased in the same period by 21%
![Page 28: Chapter 3b: Business Functions and Supply Chains(p101-115)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815d72550346895dcb7b41/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Why?
GM avoided buying tyres from Goodyear until they needed them on the assembly line
Goodyear did not have that information when the tyres will be needed and kept overstock!– When SCM of companies are not linked, supplier
requirements unknown so companies must overstock inventory
– One company sits with lean inventory while other stands, hence musical chairs
