What is a Supply Chain?

All stages involved, directly or indirectly, in fulfilling a customer request

Includes manufacturers, suppliers, transporters, warehouses, retailers, and customers

Within each company, the supply chain includes all functions involved in fulfilling a customer request (product development, marketing, operations, distribution, finance, customer service)

SCM is based on the idea that nearly every product that comes to market results from the efforts of various organizations that make up a supply chain.

Supply chain management is the management of the flow of goods and services and includes all processes that transform raw materials into final products.

It involves the active streamlining of a business's supply-side activities to maximize customer value and gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace.

A supply chain is the connected network of individuals, organizations, resources, activities, and technologies involved in the manufacture and sale of a product or service.

suppliers(material costs)--transportation cost--manufacturers(manufacturing costs)--transportation costs--(warehouses&distribution centers)inventory costs--transportation costs--customers

The Objective of a Supply Chain

Maximize overall value created----------Supply Chain Surplus= Customer Value – Supply Chain Cost

upstream---information+product&service flow+fund---downstream

supplier's supplier--supplier--end product producer--distributor/wholesaler--retailer--end customer

third party companies-----information systems company, transportation firms, warehousing firms, clearing agents etc

Example: a customer purchases a wireless router from Teknosa for 300TL (revenue)----Supply chain incurs costs (information, storage, transportation, components, assembly, etc.)---Difference between 300TL and the sum of all of these costs is the supply chain profit

Supply chain profitability is total profit to be shared across all stages of the supply chain; Success should be measured by total supply chain profitability, not profits at an individual stage

Customer is the only source of revenue and the only target of satisfaction

Sources of cost include flows of information, products, or funds between stages of the supply chain

Looking ahead

Globalization has enabled companies to set up a global business network that necessitates complex transportation services. This, in turn, is expected to drive demand for outsourced logistics services over the coming years.

Technology has been transforming 3PL services and demand within the supply chain for digitalization, automation, and data collection capabilities has been increasing.

TRENDS

Robust macroeconomic growth rooted in a strong labor market and recent tax cuts will boost demand for logistics.

Rising interest rates, a tighter labor market, and higher fuel prices will raise logistics costs.

A fully digital, connected, and flexible supply chain optimized for e-commerce and last-mile, same-day delivery will become essential.

The next-generation supply chain will improve fulfillment and drive efficiency through technologies such as big data and predictive analytics, artificial intelligence, robotics, crowdsourcing, and electric and autonomous vehicles.

CX-New battle front

A Gartner Customer Experience (CX) study declares that “Customer experience is the new marketing battlefront. More than two-thirds of marketers participating in the sutdy say their companies compete mostly on the basis of CX.

And in two years’ time, 81% say they expect to be competing mostly or completely on the basis of CX.” A study by Vision Critical claims that by 2020, the customer experience will overtake price and product quality as the key brand differentiator.

in their 2020 report, PWC found that the number of companies investing in the omni-channel experience全方位体验 has jumped from 20% to more than 80%.

Blockchain Technology is Set to Transform the Supply Chain

Robots will navigate with the aid of lasers, radar, and other non-visual guidance systems, so things like windows and electric lighting will simply add costs and present unnecessary security risks.

Automation Will Close the Talent Gap

Autonomous Trucks, Trains, and Drones will reduce demand for drivers

Supply Chains will be Shorter with help of 3D printing(additive manufacturing)

Supply chain flows, models

supplier-producer-customer are connected by product,information &payment flows

flow of physical materials and services from suppliers through intermediate entities to customers

flow of cash from customer through intermediate entities to suppliers

flow of information back and forth along the chian

reverse flow of products returned for replacement, repairs, recycling, or disposal

types of supply chain

Horizontal(lateral) integration

vertical integration

integrated enterprise

the stages of SC(physical supply, manufacturing&physical) are carried out by different organizations--discussed earlier

bringing the SC inside one organization

suppliers ------ERP(purchasing+logistics+production&control+marketing/sales+distribution)----customers

SC strategy development

 KNOW YOUR TARGET CUSTOMER

 RESEARCH YOUR COMPETITORS

 CHOOSE YOUR CHANNELS

 BREAK DOWN YOUR SALES FUNNEL S

CREATE SMART MARKETING GOALS

the way to the market has many,around 7 types

Customer Service

Competitive and Supply
Chain Strategies

Competitive strategy defines the set of customer needs a firm seeks to satisfy through its products and services

Product development strategy specifies the portfolio of new products that the company will try to develop

Marketing and sales strategy specifies how the market will be segmented and product positioned, priced, and promoted

Supply chain strategy determines the nature of material procurement, transportation of materials, manufacture of product or creation of service, distribution of product

All functional strategies must support one another and the competitive strategy

Decision Phases of a Supply Chain

Supply chain strategy or design----How to structure the supply chain over the next several years

Supply chain planning------Decisions over the next quarter or year

Supply chain operation----Daily or weekly operational decisions

Decisions about the structure of the supply chain and what processes each stage will perform

Strategic supply chain decisions

Locations and capacities of facilities

Products to be made or stored at various locations

Modes of transportation for inbound and outbound

Information systems set up and frame

Supply chain design must support strategic objectives

Supply chain design decisions are long-term and expensive to reverse – must take into account market uncertainty

Definition of a set of policies that govern short-term operations

Fixed by the supply configuration from previous phase

Starts with a forecast of demand in the coming year

Planning decisions:

Which markets will be supplied from which locations

Planned buildup of inventories

Subcontracting/outsourcing, backup locations

Inventory policies

Timing and size of market promotions

Must consider in planning decisions demand uncertainty, exchange rates, competition over the time horizon

Conventional planning (SILO planning)

supply plan----lack of material

mfg plan----capacity issues

stock plan----missing OTIF

which negative impacts does this model have ?

when could you implement thi s model without damage?

Negative impacts of SILO planning

The signs of Bullwhip effect is found in excess inventories, quality issues, higher manufacturing and over head costs, lost sales, lower levels of customer service ,high transportation costs, lead time variations etc.

For an ideal supply chain operations elimination of bullwhip effect is necessary .

Integrated planning model

Procurement cycle--supplier

Manufacturing cycle---manufactuer

Replenishment cycle----

customer order cycle

a cycle view of SC defines the processes involved and the process owners.

this view is useful for operational decisions as it shows the role&resp of each process owner and the clear outcome of the process
