Download or read book Supply Chain Management written by Ralf Hieber and published by vdf Hochschulverlag AG. This book was released on 2002 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Supply chain management is emerging as one of the most powerful logistics management concepts for improving performance across the entire logistics network. Companies that have already streamlined their internal business process are now working to realise further savings by improving the external business relationships within the more and more complex, linked value-adding business processes in logistics networks. Although the benefits of SCM are well-known in industry, until now companies have only put this concept into practice in a limited way. Therefore, the newly developed integral model of collaborative performance measurement in this book will make a contribution towards easing and supporting improvements in supply chain management as well as giving specific guidelines for its implementation. Furthermore, the author provides newly developed key performance indicators that enable the measurement of the performance of co-operation across the extended enterprise in a supply chain environment. Based on case studies, the integral model, in close connection to the SCOR model, was applied and has proven its applicability in industrial practice. This book presents a rich variety of concepts and methods for industrial engineers, business managers, engineers and consultants as well as success stories in supply chain management.

The 21st Century has been characterized by drastic advances in product development and shorter product life cycles. The customer nowadays places a lot of emphasis on delivery times. Thus, rushing the right products to the end-user has been the main objective of most companies. More so, in order to maintain strategic advantages companies have to improve their prices in order to maintain their market shares. Supply Chain management is thus the strategic weapon needed by most global firms nowadays to stay on top of their game. Given that raw materials and the manufacturing processes take place at different locations and even continents. The coordination of information, materials and financial flow is therefore imperative in order for the smooth and swift flow of data and products to be ensured. Assessing and measuring the performance of processes along the entire supply chain is thus recommended. So that every Supply Chain partner in the SC-Network will benefit from the partnership. Therefore the question arises: Which instrument can be effectively used to measure the performance of a Supply Chain. Companies have to measure their Supply Chain Performance in order to have a clear sense of direction. By setting goals based on performance variables, measuring them and following them up. It is possible to create an improving business pattern that is in line with the company ́s strategic goals. Companies have to measure and assess the processes involved along their entire supply chain. By so doing they can improve their efficiency, share best practices and improve their overall supply chain performance. There are many instruments used for measuring supply chain performance. Nevertheless using the most effective of them will guarantee better results.

Download or read book Social and Environmental Dimensions of Organizations and Supply Chains written by Marcus Brandenburg and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-07-13 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on environmental and social factors in international supply chains and industry networks. It explores whether socially-responsible and environmentally-conscious operations are complementary or conflictive to economic targets. The book elaborates on innovative approaches to manage the economic, ecological and social performance in supply networks from different perspectives. In addition, it links sustainability to operational processes and illustrates specific application contexts. Moreover, it covers the social dimension of sustainability. The rise of sustainability in management forces enterprises to revisit the concept of profitability that drives their operations. Social standards and ecological targets represent critical factors that challenge industry networks. The interplay of these goals requires new insights from scientific research and managerial practice. New approaches and systems are needed to minimize environmental and social harms and to promote sustainability.
Download or read book X SCM written by Lisa H Harrington and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-10-18 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Supply chain management today has never been more complex, more dynamic or more unpredictable. The good news is that new techniques for analyzing country-level investments, network configuration and in-sourcing/out-sourcing decisions can enable more precise and effective span of control. The latest generation of network design and optimization applications has created broader opportunities to view and streamline links between supply chain network nodes. New concepts in multi-channel demand signal capture -- and in pooling and data warehousing customer signals coming into the enterprise from retail stores, websites and call centers -- can bring the enterprise closer to the customer. Emergence of practices such as multi-channel supply management and virtualized cross-enterprise inventory pools are enabling rapid response to changes in demand, creating a level of "cyber-kanban" unimaginable a few years ago. Companies can now truly respond to the pull of the market rather than the push of supply. Companies are also using advanced Business Intelligence (BI) software to mine the demand signal repository and cull critical insights for action and response. Case in point: Wal-Mart’s response to Hurricane Katrina was based on insights gained from mining community consumption trends during previous hurricanes.
