Q1. Supply chain management (SCM) is the oversight of materials, information, and finances as they move in a process from supplier to manufacturer to wholesaler to retailer to consumer. Supply chain management involves coordinating and integrating these flows both within and among companies. It is said that the ultimate goal of any effective supply chain management system is to reduce inventory (with the assumption that products are available when needed). Q2. Plan: The first stage in supply chain management is known as plan. A plan or strategy must be developed to address how a given good or service will meet the needs of the customers. A significant portion of the strategy should focus on planning a profitable supply chain. This is the strategic portion of SCM. Companies need a strategy for managing all the resources that go toward meeting customer demand for their product or service. A big piece of SCM planning is developing a set of metrics to monitor the supply chain so that it is efficient, costs less and delivers high quality and value to customers. Develop (Source): Develop is the next stage in supply chain management .It involves building a strong relationship with suppliers of the raw materials needed in making the product the company delivers. This phase involves not only identifying reliable suppliers but also planning methods for shipping, delivery, and payment. Companies must choose suppliers to deliver the goods and services they need to create their product. Therefore, supply chain managers must develop a set of pricing, delivery and payment processes with suppliers and create metrics for monitoring and improving the relationships. And then, SCM managers can put together processes for managing their goods and services inventory, including receiving and verifying shipments, transferring them to the manufacturing facilities and authorizing supplier payments. Make: At the third stage, make, the product is manufactured, tested, packaged, and scheduled for delivery. This is the manufacturing step. Supply chain managers schedule the activities necessary for production, testing, packaging and preparation for delivery. This is the most metric-intensive portion of the supply chain - one where companies are able to measure quality levels, production output and worker productivity. Deliver: Then, at the logistics phase, customer orders are received and delivery of the goods is planned. This fourth stage of supply chain management stage is aptly named deliver. This is the part that many SCM insiders refer to as logistics, where companies coordinate the receipt of orders from customers, develop a network of warehouses, pick carriers to get products to customers and set up an invoicing system to receive payments. Return: The final stage of supply chain management is called return. As the name suggests, during this stage, customers may return defective products. The company will also address customer questions in this stage.
Q3: The Warner-Lambert Co. manufactures and markets pharmaceutical, consumer health care, and confectionery products, including such popular brands as Listerine antiseptic mouthwash, Chiclets gum, Halls lozenges, Certs mints, Rolaids antacids, and Schick razors. The product of a long history of mergers and acquisitions, the Warner-Lambert name reflects the combined assets of two businesses: the William R. Warner Company, a pharmaceutical and cosmetic concern, and Lambert-Pharmacia, manufacturers of Listerine oral antiseptic, which merged in the 1950s. Thereafter, Warner-Lambert became a large multinational corporation under the leadership of Elmer Holmes Bobst.
Q1. Supply Chain Management (SCM) is the management of information flow between and among stages in a supply chain to maximize total supply chain effectiveness and profitability
Q2.Plan : Develop a must have-plan for managing everything that goes towards meeting customer demand for products or services. A large proportion of planning is developing a set of metrics to monitor the supply chain so that it is efficient and cost effective and delivers high quality and value to customer. Source : Company must choose the right vendors as their source. Build relationship with supplier and develop a set of pricing, delivery and payment process. Metrics need to be created to both monitor and improve relationship. Make : Manufacturer products and services. This can include scheduling of activity for production, testing, packaging, and preparing for delivery. Deliver : deliver the package that plans for and controls the efficient and effective transportation and storage of supplies from suppliers to customers. Return : Create a network for receiving defective and access products, and support customers who have problem with delivered products.
Q3. Facilities Strategy Location efficiency which centralize the location to gain economies of scale, which increases efficiency. Capacity effectiveness, large amounts of excess capacity which can handle wide swings in demand. Operational design efficiency, product focus design allows the facility to become highly efficient at producing one single product, increasing efficiency.
Inventory Strategy holding large amounts of inventory and receiving inventory deliveries only once a month and store it safety.
Transportation strategy a company can save money by shipping its products to a distributor that ships the products to its customers also choose the inexpensive method of transportation.
Information strategy freely share lots of information to increase the speed and decrease the costs of supply chain processing.
1) Supply Chain Management (SCM) is about managing the flow of information between different stages in a supply chain to maximize the total supply chain effectiveness and profitability.
2) - Develop Plan: Make a plan so that the flow of supply is meeting the requirements of the customers. - Source: Make a good choice in choosing the right suppliers and make good relationship with them so that you will get discount and other promotions which will benefit you. - Make: Make a proper scheduling where production, testing, packaging, delivery done efficiently and fast enough to be able to satisfy the demand. - Deliver: Create a good logistics plan so that the delivery is done in a faster way like finding a short route to the recipient which will also save the fuel. - Return: Make it easier for the recipients to send back the defective products like help send vehicle to the receipent's house to pick up the defective products and return back the properly working product.
3) Facilities Strategy - Place the facilities in a way that can reach the customers in a massive way. Inventory Strategy - Create a way to hold huge amount of items and able to store them safely. Transportation Strategy - Choose the method of transportation which is appropriate and that allows to send materials faster and costs more cheaper. Information Strategy - Gather alot of information that will help to make the supply chain processing more effective and efficient.
1. What do you understand by "SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT" ? After read through your blog, I have realized that Supply Chain Management (SCM) is a management of information that flows in between the stages in a supply chain. Effective Supply Chain Management (SCM) allows the maximization of supply chain efficiency and profitability which is the purpose of supply chain management. Suply chain is a chain that consists of all directly or indirectl involved parties in the attainment of a product or raw material.
2. Explain the Five Basic components of SCM ? The five basic components of SCM are Plan, Source, Make, Deliver and Return
Plan - Plan of strategy that developed to address how a given good or service will meet the needs of the customers Source - Choosing the reliable suppliers reliable suppliers by building a strong relationship with suppliers. Make - Product is manufactured, tested, packaged and scheduled for delivery. Deliver - Customers' orders are received and delivery of the goods are scheduled Return - Customer may return defective products and the company will also address customer questions.
3.Give a brief description of WARNER-LAMBERT's SCM strategy?
The Warner-Lambert's SCM strategy consists of three strategies which is inventory strategy, transportation and information strategy.
Inventory strategy - There are two primary inventory components, cycle inventory and safety inventory. i)Cycle inventory holds a large amounts of inventory and receive inventory once a month. ii)Safety inventory holds a large amount of safety inventory only.
Transportation strategy - It moves inventories between the different stages in the supply chain. There are two primary inventory components, method of transportation and transportation route. i)Method of transportation choose an inexpensive method of transportation that increases efficiency but increase delivery time on the other side. ii)Transportation route save money by shipping its products to a distributor.
Information strategy - Decides how and what information it wants to share with its supply chain partners. There are two primary information components, Information sharing and Pull Information. i)Information sharing effiency share lots of information to increase the speed and decrease the costs of supply chain. ii)Pull information is a supply chain partners that are responsible for pulling all relevant information
1) What do you understand by “Supply Chain Management?” - Supply Chain Management or SCM in short, is a process of overseeing information, raw materials, finances, and products as they get processed from the suppliers to the customers. SCM involves properly coordinating the work among the stages in the supply chain. 2) Explain the 5 basic components of SCM. i) Plan – Involves managing everything to meet the customers’ demands. This includes developing a set of metric to monitor the supply chain so that it can deliver high qualities and values to the customers. ii) Source – Companies need to be careful when it comes to choosing suppliers in delivering their products. Managers need to develop a set pricing and delivery system in the supply chain itself. Managers can also put processes for managing their goods and inventory. iii) Make – In SCM, managers should schedule the activities that are needed for the production, packaging, testing and preparation for delivery of the product. iv) Deliver – Deliver is closely related to logistics. Companies coordinate receipts of orders, pick carriers to get their products to their customers and develop a network of warehouses at the same moment. v) Return – Customer would want a refund for buying a faulty product or when the product does not meet their expectations. This is where most companies are having difficulties with. Planners should create a flexible and responsible network for receiving flaws and excess products returned from customers. 3) Give a brief description of Warner-Lambert’s SCM strategy. Warner-Lambert uses four primary supply chain drivers to drive their supply chain efficiency. These are facilities, inventory, transportation, and information. i) Facility strategy – Location efficiency is important when it comes to business. Location should be centralized to gain economics of scale in which increases the efficiency. Capacity effectiveness is also included in Warner-Lambert’s facility strategy. They produce large amounts of excess capacity which can handle wide swings in demands. Moreover, they focus on operational design efficiency where products design allows the facility to become highly efficient at producing one single product, thus increasing its efficiency. ii) Inventory strategy – They focus on safety inventory effectiveness which is holding large amounts of safety inventory. iii) Transportation strategy – The company can save its money by shipping its products to a distributor that ships the products to its customers. By choosing an inexpensive method of transportation, it will increase the efficiency. However, it also increases delivery time. iv) Information strategy – Share lots of information freely to increase the speed and decrease the cost of supply chain processing and at the same time pull all relevant information.
