Supply
The Customer expects that there will be supply ofProducts / Services whenever the need arises .
-Definition of Supply [APICS Dictionary 11 th edition]
1] The quantity of goods available for use
2] The actual or planned replenishment of productor component. The replenishment quantities are createdin response to demand for the product or component or inanticipation of such a demand.

Supply Chain
The buying process begins with customer order and ends when thesatisfied customer pays for the product / service. It has the following typicalentities / stages:
Customers
Retailers
Wholesalers / Distributors
Transporters
Manufacturers / Producers
Component / Raw material SuppliersThese entities are connected to each other along a chain. Hence the nameSupply Chain system.

Objectives of Organizations
To meet the needs of various customers and stakeholders.To maximize the overall value generated.Value generated = Worthiness of product Effort the supply chain expends.Value is correlated with supply chain profitability.Value = Revenue from customer Overall cost across the supply chain.
Organizations have to acquire many of the materials, equipment, facilities,and supplies from other organizations and or individuals. Thus theperformance of an organization depends not only on its own performancebut on the performance of other organizations which supply the resources.This makes it clear that an organization cannot exist in isolation .
To be successful, organizations have to be interdependent. Cooperationamong firms is a must.
Supply chain success should be measured in terms of supply chainprofitability and not in terms of profit at an individual stage.

Definition of Supply Chain
The global network used to deliver products andservices from raw materials to end customers throughan engineered flow of Information, Physical Distributionand Cash. [APICS Dictionary 11th edition]
SC involves directly or indirectly, everyone and everythingrequired to deliver products and services from raw materials to endcustomers SC includes Customers, Retailers, Wholesalers / Distributors,Transporters , Manufacturers / Producers, Component / Raw materialSuppliersSC can be viewed as processes marketing data analysis, invoicing,shipping, order processing cutting across entitiesOutside stakeholders government, public at large, trade associations,universities, competitors etc.

Some more definitions of SCMOliver and Webber (1982) SCM covers the flow of goods from supplier throughmanufacturing and distribution channels to end user.
Jones and Riley (1987) SCM techniques deal with the planning and control of total materialsflow from suppliers to through end users.
Ellram (1991) An integrative approach to dealing with the planning and control of thematerials flow from suppliers to end users.
Christopher (1992) SCM is the management of a network of organizations that are involved,through upstream and downstream linkages, in the different processes and activities thatproduce value in the form of products and services in the hands of the ultimate customer.
Ayers (2000) SCM is the design, maintenance and operation of supply chain processes forsatisfaction of end users.
Sunil Chopra and Peter Meindl (2001) SCM involves the management of flows between and
among stages in a supply chain to maximize total profitability.

Types of Supply Chain
1 Horizontal (lateral) integration
The stages of SC [Physical Supply, Manufacturing & Physical] arecarried out by different organizations discussed earlier.
2 Vertical Integration
Bringing the SC inside one organization
Ford motor company pursued this strategy for their famous model
T - car.What Ford practised. Later divested.
Now horizontal integration
is the favoured approach .

Why Process Integration is needed?
To make maximum profit a company must have the following objectives:
- Provide best customer service - Provide lowest production costs
- Provide lowest inventory investment - Provide lowest distribution costs
These objectives create conflict among marketing, production & finance departments:

5.2. The Objectives of a Supply Chain
Maximize overall value created Supply chain value: difference between what the
final product is worth to the customer and the
effort the supply chain expends in filling thecustomers request
Value is correlated to supply chain profitability(difference between revenue generated from thecustomer and the overall cost across the supplychain)
8/3/2019 scmbasics-124670876643-phpapp02
22/60
The Objective of a Supply Chain Example: Dell receives $2000 from a customer
for a computer (revenue) Supply chain incurs costs (information, storage,
transportation, components, assembly, etc.) Difference between $2000 and the sum of all ofthese costs is the supply chain profit
Supply chain profitability is total profit to be
shared across all stages of the supply chain Supply chain success should be measured by
total supply chain profitability, not profits at anindividual stage

Supply Chain Management [SCM] 17
Creating Value through Supply Chain Management
The primary purpose for the existence of any SCM is to satisfy customer needs, in
the process generating profits for itself. Maximise the overall value generated.Value generated = what the product/service worth to the customer the effort SCexpends in fulfilling the customer needs. Correlated with SC Profitability (SCP).
SCP = Revenue generated Overall cost across SC
Value depends on the products utility to the customer. Types of utility:
Form Utility - Operation
Place Utility - Logistics
Time Utility - Logistics
Possession Utility - Sales
During value generation SC has to satisfy all the stakeholders Customer, Investor,Employee, Public at large, Government etc.

The Objective of a Supply Chain
Sources of supply chain revenue: the customer
Sources of supply chain cost: flows ofinformation, products, or funds between stagesof the supply chain
Supply chain management is the management of flows between and among supply chain stages to maximize total supply chain profitability

Importance / Benefits of SCMTo achieve economies of scale and scope Costs aresignificant
Internal SC functions lack economies of scale when compared withthe potential capacity of an independent provider of the same product / service.
Eg: Computer Monitor / Chip / Hard driveAttractive pricing volume leverage.
To improve business focus and expertise
Vertical integration multiplies the complexities of managing
disparate businesses. An independent company that focuses entirely ona particular business can develop more expertise than an in-housedepartment
Ford divested their Iron Ore company, Steel Mill etc
Higher Quality, Attractive Pricing or both

Supply Chain Operation Time horizon is weekly or daily Decisions regarding individual customer orders Supply chain configuration is fixed and operating
policies are determined Goal is to implement the operating policies as
effectively as possible Allocate orders to inventory or production, set order
due dates, generate pick lists at a warehouse,allocate an order to a particular shipment, set deliveryschedules, place replenishment orders
Much less uncertainty (short time horizon)

5.3. Process View of Supply Chain Management :Cyclic View
SC is a sequence of processes and flows that take place within and between different SCstages and combine to fulfil a customer need for a product / service. These processes aredivided into a series of cycles (cyclic view), each performed at the interface between twosuccessive stages / entities of SC.

Inventory: Role in the Supply Chain
Inventory exists because of a mismatch betweensupply and demand
Source of cost and influence on responsiveness
Impact on material flow time: time elapsed between when material entersthe supply chain to when it exits the supply chain
throughput rate at which sales to end consumers occur I = RT (Littles Law) I = inventory; R = throughput; T = flow time Example Inventory and throughput are synonymous in a supply chain

Inventory: Role in CompetitiveStrategy
If responsiveness is a strategiccompetitive priority, a firm can locatelarger amounts of inventory closer tocustomers
If cost is more important, inventory can bereduced to make the firm more efficient

Components of Inventory Decisions Cycle inventory
Average amount of inventory used to satisfy demand betweenshipments
Depends on lot size
Safety inventory
inventory held in case demand exceeds expectations costs of carrying too much inventory versus cost of losing sales
Seasonal inventory inventory built up to counter predictable variability in demand
cost of carrying additional inventory versus cost of flexibleproduction
Overall trade-off: Responsiveness versus efficiency more inventory: greater responsiveness but greater cost less inventory: lower cost but lower responsiveness

Transportation: Role inthe Supply Chain
Moves the product between stages in thesupply chain
Impact on responsiveness and efficiency Faster transportation allows greater
responsiveness but lower efficiency Also affects inventory and facilities
8/3/2019 scmbasics-124670876643-phpapp02
52/60
Transportation:Role in the Competitive Strategy
If responsiveness is a strategic competitivepriority, then faster transportation modes canprovide greater responsiveness to customers
who are willing to pay for it Can also use slower transportation modes forcustomers whose priority is price (cost)
Can also consider both inventory andtransportation to find the right balance

Components ofTransportation Decisions
Mode of transportation : air, truck, rail, ship, pipeline, electronic transportation vary in cost, speed, size of shipment, flexibility
Route and network selection route: path along which a product is shipped network: collection of locations and routes
In-house or outsource Overall trade-off: Responsiveness versus
efficiency
