What is supply chain? The system of suppliers,manufacturers,transportation, distributors, and vendors that exists to transform raw materials to final products and supply those products to customers. That portion of supply chain which comes after the manufacturing process is sometimes known as the distribution network.
Goal of the SCM SCM is concerned with the efficient integration of suppliers,factories,warehouses and stores so that merchandise is produced and distributed. -In the right quantities -to the right location -at the right time In order to -Minimize total system cost -Satisfy customer service requirements
Supply Chain Drivers Facilities -places where inventory is stored,assembled or fabricated -production sites and storage sites Inventory -raw materials,WIP,finished goods within a supply chain -inventory policies
Transportation -moving inventory from point to point in a supply chain -combinations of transportation modes and routes Information -data and analysis regarding inventory,transportation,facilities throughout the supply chain -potentially the biggest driver of supply chain performance

Information :Role in the Supply Chain The connection between the various stages in the Supply chain – allows coordination between stages Crucial to daily operation of each stage in a supply chain – e.g., production scheduling, inventory levels
Components of Information Decisions Push (MRP) versus Pull (demand information transmitted quickly throughout the supply chain) Coordination and information sharing Forecasting and aggregate planning Enabling technologies - EDI - Internet - ERP systems - SCM software Overall trade-off : Responsiveness versus efficiency
