A SUPPLY CHAIN is a global network used to deliver products and services

from raw materials to end customers through an engineered flow of


information, physical distribution, and cash.

SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT is the design, planning, execution, control, and


monitoring of supply chain activities with the objective of creating net value,
building a competitive infrastructure, leveraging worldwide logistics,
synchronizing supply with demand, and measuring performance globally.
Basic Structure

➢ Supplier/provider of goods and services/components


➢ Producer that receives services, materials, supplies and components to use in
creating finished products
➢ Customer that receives shipments of finished products to deliver to its
customers/consumers
Basic Structure

➢ Flow of Information – back and forth along the supply chain, within entities and
between the chain and external entities
➢ Primary Product Flow – materials and services from suppliers through producers to
final customers
➢ Primary Cash Flow – from customers back upstream to the raw material supplier
➢ Reverse Flow of Returned Products – repairs, recycling, remanufacturing, or disposal
Vertical Integration
➢ Practice of bringing the supply chain inside one organization
➢ The primary benefit of vertical Integration/SCM is control

LOGISTICS: The task of coordinating material flow and information flow


across the supply chain.

Space gaps – suppliers physically separated from customers
Time gaps – difference between product availability and time of buying
Quantity gaps – mismatch between supply and demand
Variety gaps – difference between customer requirements and availability
Information gaps – customers are not aware of an existing product/service

Customer Service

• Achieving customer satisfaction


• Higher customer service needs more resources that come with higher costs
• Provide the best balance between customer service and costs
• Adding value – costs are less than the perceived benefits that it brings

Practical Example
ABC Company has sales of $ 10 million a year. Its inventories amount to 25% of sales, with annual
holding costs of 20% of the inventory value held. Operation costs (excluding the inventory costs) are
$ 7.5 million a year and other assets are estimated at $ 20 million. What is the current ROA? How will
this change if inventory levels are reduced to 20% of sales?

Current Position Inventory Reduced to 20% of Sales

• Inventory Costs= amount of stock * holding • Inventory Costs = 10 million * 0.2 * 0.2 = $
cost = 10 million * 0.25 * 0.2 = $ 0.5 million a 0.4 million a year
year • Total Costs = 7.5 million + o.4 million = $ 7.9
• Total Costs = operating costs + inv. costs = 7.5 million a year
million + o.5 million = $ 8 million a year • Profit = 10 million – 7.9 million = $ 2.1 million
• Profit = sales – total costs = 10 million – 8 a year
million = $ 2 million a year • Total assets = 20 million + 10 million * 0.2 = $
• Total Assets = other assets + inventory = 20 22 million
million + 10 million * 0.25 = $ 22.5 million • ROA = profit / total assets = 2.1 million / 22
• ROA = profit / total assets = 2 million / 22.5 million = 0.095 or 9.5%
million = 0.089 or 8.9%
Essential – every business relies on the movement of materials
Strategic importance – affects long-term performance
Expensive
Affects most operations in a company
Directly affects profits, lead time, reliability
Form links with upstream suppliers
Form links with downstream customers – customer satisfaction
Determines the best locations and sizes of facilities
Risky – safety, health, economic, environment
Foster growth of the other organizations in the supply chain
