    SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT

    A Supply chain is a network of facilities and distribution options that performs

    the function of procurement of materials transformation of these materials into

    intermediate and finished products, and the distribution of these finished products to

    customers

    Introduction to Supply Chain Management

    If your company makes a product from parts purchased from suppliers, and thoseproducts are sold to customers, then you have a supply chain. Some supply chains are

    simple, while others are rather complicated. The complexity of the supply chain will vary

    with the size of the business and the intricacy and numbers of items that aremanufactured.

    Elements of the Supply Chain

    A simple supply chain is made up of several elements that are linked by the movement of

    products along it. The supply chain starts and ends with the customer.

    Customer: The customer starts the chain of events when they decide to purchase

    a product that has been offered for sale by a company. The customer contacts thesales department of the company, which enters the sales order for a specific quantity

    to be delivered on a specific date. If the product has to be manufactured, the sales

    order will include a requirement that needs to be fulfilled by the production facility.

    Planning: The requirement triggered by the customers sales order will be

    combined with other orders. The planning department will create a production plan

    to produce the products to fulfill the customers orders. To manufacture the productsthe company will then have to purchase the raw materials needed.

    Purchasing: The purchasing department receives a list of raw materials andservices required by the production department to complete the customers orders.

    The purchasing department sends purchase orders to selected suppliers to deliver the

    necessary raw materials to the manufacturing site on the required date.

    Inventory: The raw materials are received from the suppliers, checked for quality

    and accuracy and moved into the warehouse. The supplier will then send an invoiceto the company for the items they delivered. The raw materials are stored until they

    are required by the production department.

    2

    3/30

    Production: Based on a production plan, the raw materials are moved inventory

    to the production area. The finished products ordered by the customer are

    manufactured using the raw materials purchased from suppliers. After the items havebeen completed and tested, they are stored back in the warehouse prior to delivery to

    the customer.

    Transportation: When the finished product arrives in the warehouse, the

    shipping department determines the most efficient method to ship the products sothat they are delivered on or before the date specified by the customer. When thegoods are received by the customer, the company will send an invoice for the

    delivered products.

    Supply Chain Management

    To ensure that the supply chain is operating as efficient as possible and generating the

    highest level of customer satisfaction at the lowest cost, companies have adopted SupplyChain Management processes and associated technology. Supply Chain Management hasthree levels of activities that different parts of the company will focus on: strategic;

    tactical; and operational.

    Strategic: At this level, company management will be looking to high level

    strategic decisions concerning the whole organization, such as the size and location

    of manufacturing sites, partnerships with suppliers, products to be manufactured andsales markets.

    Tactical: Tactical decisions focus on adopting measures that will produce costbenefits such as using industry best practices, developing a purchasing strategy with

    favored suppliers, working with logistics companies to develop cost effect

    transportation and developing warehouse strategies to reduce the cost of storing

    inventory.

    Operational: Decisions at this level are made each day in businesses that affect

    how the products move along the supply chain. Operational decisions involvemaking schedule changes to production, purchasing agreements with suppliers,

    taking orders from customers and moving products in the warehouse.

    1.4 SCOPE OF THE STUDY

    Logistics is important to recognize the importance of a dynamic balance between

    the minute details and the main elements involved in a product. The Role of Logistics is

    to maintain that balance. Once the firm realizes the importance of logistics it is necessary

    that the firm make full and efficient use of logistics. The first step is to create a buyer

    value for the customer and a strategic value for the firm.

    The customer is the most important asset for a company. He drives the entire

    supply chain including manufacturing, marketing and logistics. Hence it is important for

    a firm to have a clear understanding of what the customer demands and to keep up to the

    customers expectations. Once a company has a clear understanding of its customers

    requirements it must device a strategy on how to use logistics to achieve it.

    1.5 Limitation of the study

    The period of the study very short so more information will

    not able to collect.

    The management hesitated to give more information.

    Employees are busy in the work. So it very difficult to

    interact with all the employees.

    ABSTRACT:

    Major businesses today involves complex supply chains with world-wide

    sourcing and marketing which create new risks for both the individual enterprise and the

    society at large. Supply chain disruptions are seen as the primary threat to a company's

    revenue driver. To be able to cope with undesired events, companies need to review their

    business continuity management (BCM).To increase the knowledge of effective BCM,

    this thesis develops and presents a model for evaluating the level of BCM within a

    company, The BCM Evaluation Model.

    The model is a self-assessment questionnaire to be used at site level which can give

    management and insurance companies an indication of what needs to be improved to

    reduce the potential negative business profit impact from a disruption somewhere in the

    supply chain.The study involves a lens with factors based on a literature survey.

    Documented cases were then examined through the lens to find key factors for effective

    BCM. The model was validated through a test on six company affiliates together with

    ABSTRACT:

    For many retailers, manufacturers, and wholesalers, inventory is their single

    largest investments of corporate assets. Problems such as stock-outs and bullwhip effect

    due to sales fluctuation and poor visibility are normal for manufactures. Unnecessary

    activities, in the purchasing process internally and externally, such as double order

    handling, cost both money and time.

    It is widely known that firms no longer can compete effectively in isolation of their

    suppliers and other entities. The future success of many businesses depends on co-

    operation and the co-ordination of efforts; making Supply Chain Management important.

    JIT and VMI are two of the philosophies that have been used to update supply chain

    relationships and management. By recognising your own supply weaknesses, the need for

    a supply strategy and a purchasing portfolio which classify suppliers emerges.

    There is an interest in examining what possible benefits and drawbacks, JIT and VMI

    collaboration can bring and how they differ from each other. In order to have a successful

    collaboration and implementation, it is important to know what basis to choose suppliers

    on and understand what needs to be in place, internally and externally, before startingeither a JIT or VMI relationship with different suppliers.

    An inductive method was used in order to transform the literature review into a case

    study research. Explanatory and exploratory strategy was combined as well as qualitative

    and quantitative data collection such as oral interviews and written questionnaires. The

    case study was carried out at an accessory purchasing department at a large production

    company referred to as the Focal company in this thesis. Also, participating in the

    study were selected suppliers of the Focal company.

    The literature review and the case study data was analysed which led to the results that:

    JIT and VMI can shorten lead time, improve quality and relationships if used properly,

    otherwise it can lead to increased inventory levels.

    Key factors for enabeling JIT and VMI are common goals, management commitment,

    accurate information and suitable software systems.

    Suitable suppliers for JIT and VMI are companies that have equal dependency and/or

    have interdependency and are willing and able to contribute to the competitive advantage

    of the buying firm.

    Supplier selection criteria are price, quality, delivery, flexibility, reliability

    organizational culture, structure and strategy.

    Implementation of JIT is not an option today at the Focal company.

    With a few IT-system updates, a little bit of education and training the Focal company

    and most of the suppliers in this study are ready for VMI.

    Because of the good balance of power and dependence in the relationships between the

    Focal company and their suppliers there is a good chance of a successful outcome.

    The Focal companys rating criteria are well correlating with the literatures findings,

    which further support that they are ready to select suppliers for integrated relationships.
