The Objective of a Supply Chain
Maximize overall value created
Supply chain value: difference between what the finalproduct is worth to the customer and the effort thesupply chain expends in filling the customers request
Value is correlated to supply chain profitability(difference between revenue generated from thecustomer and the overall cost across the supplychain)
Also, known as supply chain surplus.
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 of thesecosts is the supply chain profit

The Objective of a Supply Chain
Supply chain profitability is total profit to be shared
across all stages of the supply chain
Supply chain success should be measured by totalsupply chain profitability, not profits at an individual stage
Sources of supply chain revenue: the customer
Sources of supply chain cost: flows of information,products, or funds between stages of the supply chain
Supply chain management is the management offlows between and among supply chain stages tomaximize total supply chain profitability

Decision Phases of a Supply ChainSupply chain strategy or design
Supply chain planning
Supply chain operation
Supply Chain Strategy or DesignDecisions 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
Information systemsSupply chain design must support strategic objectives
Supply chain design decisions are long-term andexpensive to reverse must take into account market

Supply Chain PlanningDefinition of a set of policies that govern short-term
operations
Fixed by the supply configuration from previous phaseStarts with a forecast of demand in the coming year
Planning decisions:
Which markets will be supplied from which locations
Planned buildup of inventories
Subcontracting, backup locations
Inventory policies
Timing and size of market promotionsMust consider in planning decisions demand uncertainty,
exchange rates, competition over the time horizon

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

Process View of a Supply Chain
Cycle view: processes in a supply chain are divided intoa series of cycles, each performed at the interfacesbetween two successive supply chain stages
Push/pull view: processes in a supply chain are divided
into two categories depending on whether they areexecuted in response to a customer order (pull) or inanticipation of a customer order (push)

Cycle View of a Supply ChainEach cycle occurs at the interface between two
successive stages
o Customer order cycle (customer-retailer)o Replenishment cycle (retailer-distributor)
o Manufacturing cycle (distributor-manufacturer)
o Procurement cycle (manufacturer-supplier)
Cycle view clearly defines processes involved and theowners of each process. Specifies the roles andresponsibilities of each member and the desired outcomeof each process.
The view is useful in case of setting up the informationsystem to support supply chain operations.
Useful when considering operational decisions.

Cycle View of a Supply ChainNot every supply chain will have all four cycles clearly
separated.
Each cycle consists of six sub-processes.Within each cycle, the goal of the buyer is to ensure
product availability and to achieve economies of scale inordering.
Differences between CyclesDifference 1:
In the customer order cycle, demand is external to thesupply chain and thus uncertain.
In all other cycles, order placement is uncertain but canbe projected based on policies followed by the particularsupply chain stage.

Differences between Cycles (Contd.)
Difference 2: (Scale of an order)
As we move from the customer to supplier, the number ofindividual orders declines and the size of each orderincreases.
A customer buys a single car whereas, a dealer ordersmultiple cars at a time.

Push/Pull View of Supply Chain ProcessesSupply chain processes fall into one of two categories
depending on the timing of their execution relative to
customer demandPull: execution is initiated in response to a customer
order (reactive)
Push: execution is initiated in anticipation of customerorders (speculative)
Push/pull boundary separates push processes from pullprocesses
Useful in considering strategic decisions relating tosupply chain design more global view of how supply
chain processes relate to customer ordersThis view forces a more global consideration of supply
chain processes as they relate to a customer order
This view may induce some of the processes to become
a pull process.

1 They are executed inanticipation ofcustomer orders
Execution is done in responseto customer orders
2 Demand is not knownand must be forecast.
At the time of execution,
demand is known withcertainty
3 Referred to asspeculative processes
because they respondto speculated (orforecast) rather thanactual demand.

Push/Pull Processes for a store SC
All processes that are part of the customer order cycle
are pull processes.Order fulfillment takes place from product inventory that
is built up in anticipation of customer orders.
The goal of replenishment cycle is to ensure productavailability when a customer arrives.
All processes in the replenishment cycle are pushprocesses.
The processes in the manufacturing and procurementcycle are also push processes.

Push/Pull Processes of Dell Supply ChainThe arrival of a customer order triggers production in final
assembly.
The manufacturing cycle is thus part of the customer orderfulfillment process in the customer order cycle.
Thus there are only two cycles.
All the processes in the customer order and manufacturing
cycle at Dell are pull processes initiated by customerarrival.
Dell does not place component order in response to acustomer order.
Inventory is replenished in anticipation of customerdemand.
All processes in the procurement cycle are pushprocesses because they are response to a forecast.
Dell Supply chain has fewer stages and more pullprocesses.

Supply Chain Macro Processes in a FirmThe emergence of SCM has broadened the scope
across which companies make decisions.
The scope has expanded from trying to optimizeperformance across the division, to the enterprise, and tothe entire supply chain.
The broadening of scope emphasizes the importance of
including processes all along the SC.Supply chain processes discussed in the two views can
be classified into
Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
Internal Supply Chain Management (ISCM)
Supplier Relationship Management (SRM)
Integration among the above three macro processes iscritical for effective and successful supply chainmanagement

Supply Chain Macro Processes
Customer Relationship Management (CRM):Processes that focus on downstream interactionsbetween the enterprise and its customers.
Internal Supply Chain Management (ISCM):
Processes that focus on internal operations within theenterprise.
Supplier Relationship Management (ISCM):
Processes that focus on upstream interactions betweenthe enterprise and its suppliers.
There must be strong integration between the ISCM andCRM macro processes
There is a natural fit between ISCM and SRM processes

Enterprise software systems (ERP)
Earlier systems focused on automation of simpletransactions and the creation of an integrated method of
storing and viewing data across the enterprise
Real value of the TMF exists only if decision making isimproved
The extent to which the TMF enables integration acrossthe three macro processes determines its value
