Supply chain is the system by which organizations source, make and deliver their products or services according to market demand. Supply chain management operations and decisions are ultimately triggered by demand signals at the ultimate consumer level. Supply chain as defined by experienced practitioners extends from suppliers’ suppliers to customers’ customers.

Supply Chain Management Principles C Compression (Planning/Manufacturing/Supply) Conformance (Forecasts/Plans/Distribution) Co-operation (Cross -Functional) (Real Time Data) Communication Reduce Overall Cycle Time : Improve Response

. The steps involved Step1- Designing the supply chain Determine the supply chain network Identify the levels of service required

Step 2 - Optimizing the supply chain Determine pathways from suppliers to the end customer Customer markets to Distribution centers Distribution centers to production plants Raw material sources to production plants Identify constraints at vendors, plants and distribution centers Get the big picture Plan the procurement, production and distribution of product groups rather than individual products in large time periods- quarters or years

Step 3- Material flow planning Determine the exact flow and timing of materials Arrive at decisions by working back from the projected demand through the supply chain to the raw material resources Techniques ERP

Step 4 - Transaction processing and short term scheduling Customer orders arrive at random This is a day to day accounting system which tracks and schedules every order to meet customer demand Order entry, order fulfillment and physical replenishment

IMPORTANCE of Information in Supply Chain Management Information is overriding element Need for databases Master files: Information about customers, products, materials, suppliers, transportation, production and distribution data- do not require frequent processing Status files- heart of transaction processing- track orders and infrastructure status- updated daily. Essentially using the same information to make all plans right from structuring the network to processing every day supply chain tasks.
