In order to produce a robust, reliable and integrated
supply chain where each component adds value to the
overall process, individual components have to be
robust, reliable and tightly integrated.
SCM tools provide appropriate responsiveness to
maximize the service levels without compromising onthe inventory levels.
The planning on the supply side has to be based on
capacity and related constraints including
transportation and logistics constraints.As the problems and concern areas of specific industry
are different, SCM tools as well as the techniques
adopted for their implementation have to be industry
specific.

There are examples of the same company a single
legal entity having two different sales offices in the
same city.
In spite of using the latest tools and techniques,
several mfg orgns are known to suffer on TWO counts
time to reach the customer and cost of reaching thecustomer.
With the ever-increasing competition in the market
place and the need to curtail costs, companies have to
look for ways and means of achieving better customerservice levels with lower inventory levels.
Successful implementation of SCM methodology can
result in reduction in inventories with simultaneous
improvement in on-time delivery performance.

spanning channel focus where all the steps of a
products movement, regardless of corporate,
political or geographical boundaries, from rawmaterial supply through final delivery to ultimate
user to satisfy a particular customer group are
planned and supervised D. F. Ross.

Supply Chain Management Scenarios
Developing and constant monitoring of supplychain management strategies have to beoptimized to suit enterprise specific requirementsand needs to be flexible enough to adopt toconstantly changing needs of the marketplace.
In order to have better demand planning,manufacturing orgns are creating channel linkupprograms.
This involves allowing the channel partners a
direct connection to the internal processes of theorgn such as stock review and order booking.

High inventory levels at different stages of the supplychain.

High cost of operations due to inefficient procurementand rush purchases.
Loss of business as customers move to competitorsdue to non-availability of goods when customersneed them.

The relation between different business entities inthe supply chain can be transformed from atransaction or case to case basis into that of apartnership program.
Companies are entering into long termagreements with their vendors instead of callingfor quotations every time.
When information systems are web-enabled, one
does not need to ask someone for information.This can be used to trigger actions on a proactivebasis to avoid stock-outs as well as situations ofexcess stocks.

Features ofSupply Chain Management
SCM operates on the pull factor where the
customers requirements force the orgn to respond in
form of more customized product.
ICT enables orgns to become market responsive and
orient themselves to changing market scenario.
With the inclusion of business partners in the entire
chain, a virtual orgn is created that includes
suppliers, mfg orgn as well as the marketing
channels.
The resources of all the constituent elements of the
supply chain are directed towards a common
objective of providing end customers with the right
product at the right time and at the right place.

Stages in SCM
In traditional setup, functions or depts orient theorgn setup with very little emphasis on business
processes that cut across the functional
boundaries.
As the awareness of SCM increases, orgn tendsto shift to next stage towards identification of
business processes that create value for ultimate
customers and formation of cross functional
teams.During this stage, the top mgmt has very little
information about the total costs involved in the
entire supply chain from end-to-end.

Then enterprise wide integration of information
systems that cut across the orgnal boundaries
and include the channel partners as well.
Now, the top mgmt is fully aware of the costsinvolved in the entire supply chain from end-to-
end.
The top mgmt is also aware of the opportunities
of reducing the costs as well as cycle time ofsupply chain without affecting the performance.

KeyDrivers ofSCM
THREE key drivers for SCM initiative i.e. MATERIAL,
MONEY & INFORMATION.
Materials blocked in form of inventory can cause
blockage of money. If info about such blockages or
possibility of such inventory build up is not available,
the concerned entity in the SCM may not be in a
position to initiate proactive actions to prevent such
situations of excess inventories as well as possible
stock outs.
It is important that all the three key drivers aremanaged through synchronization approach.
For effective SCM, periodic measurement and reporting
system for Key Performance Indicators (PKI).

Role ofMIS in SCM
There is a common misconception that
SCM is just an extension of ERP or it is yet
another IT initiative.
MIS has an enabling role to play in
deployment of a SCM solution. MIS plays
an important role in ensuring that all thethree key drivers of SCM are managed in
perfect synchronization.
