Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper reports on a study which analyzes relationships between information technology and performance of Supply Chains. The two main barriers faced in Supply Chain are Management of Inventory and the timely delivery of goods to meet the demand of customers. Hence, the performance of Supply chain is measured by the impact on the inventory turnover and lead time of goods. The transparency of demand across the Supply Chain i.e. the product visibility across the Supply Chain would lead to improvement of the performance was the expectation set by this study. Facts on the basis of responses from Industry propose that Product Visibility results in improvement of lead time of the Supply Chain. The study also shows that certain sectors, primarily FMCG goods Industry are in the forefront in using Information Technology to improve their Supply Chain. However, an important outcome of the study has been the resistance observed in the industry in implementation of technology infrastructure. Since the study is based on survey methods, the perceptions of the respondents reflect the lack of confidence in Information Technology in improving the demand visibility and hence the inventory position of Supply Chain partners.

This book was released on 2007-05-08 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last half of the twentieth century industry encountered a revolutionary change brought about by the harnessed power of seemingly ever-increasing capacity, speed and functionality of computers and microprocessors. This strength provided management and workers within industries with new capabilities for management, planning and control, design, quality assurance and customer support. Organized information flow became the mainstay of industrial companies. New tools and information technology systems emerged and evolved to enable companies to integrate the various departments (Design, Procurement, Manufacturing, Sales and Finance) within companies, particularly the lager ones, including international corporations. This was to give them a chance to meet new demands for product time to market, just in time supply of orders, and customer support. To the smaller company these changes were not so apparent. Neither the tools nor systems nor indeed their economic value seemed appropriate to them except for special cases. While all this was happening the structure of the larger companies began to disintegrate. Strong competitive pressures and globalization of the market place brought this about. Shedding unwanted competence and subcontracting it to others became common practice. Regional market pressures triggered companies to reorganize to create, produce, and distribute goods and services. Greater dependency on chains of supply from external companies became the norm. Medium and smaller sized companies began to gain some advantage and at the same time some were sucked into management and control systems governed by the larger companies.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,0, Otto Beisheim School of Management Vallendar (Kuehne Foundation Chair of Logistics and Services Management), course: Literature Seminar in Supply Chain Management, language: English, abstract: Today’s business environment is unstable and uncertain. Shorter product life cycles, uncertain demand due to quickly changing customer needs, offshore production, higher supply chain complexity as a consequence of global and severe competition, and fast technological progress are all factors that foster this. “The economic environment is dynamic and the only certainty about it is it will continue to change." To cope with a high degree of uncertainty and increasing supply chain risk a company needs to establish a robust, resilient but still efficient supply chain. Due to the strong competition companies have to be responsive, introduce customized products quickly to the market and constantly work on their internal and external operations in order to gain a competitive advantage. They not only have to offer quality to gain customer satisfaction, but also speed and a reasonable price.

Download or read book Conceptualizing and capturing digital transformation s customer value a logistics and supply chain management perspective written by Junge, Anna Lisa and published by Universitätsverlag der TU Berlin. This book was released on 2020-12-22 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis aims to add knowledge that contributes to answering the question of how digital transformation technologies can contribute to increasing customer value in logistics and supply chain management (L&SCM), and how manufacturing companies can mindfully use them. The output of the thesis is an architectural framework that proposes performance components, approaches and methodologies that can help in capturing this customer value. To build the basis for such a framework, this research first deduces and presents the underlying definition of digital transformation and describes its potential for, as well as current barriers for its application in, L&SCM. The study uses a systematic literature review to identify nine underlying digital transformation technology bundles. These are: auto-identification technologies; information and communication technologies; the cloud; cyber physical systems; analytics; distributed ledger; automation technologies; augmented and virtual reality; and additive manufacturing. These technologies served as inputs for a nominal group technique workshop aiming to conceptualize the dimensions of customer value based on the technologies. The derived dimensions are information disclosure, time, product/production, service/assistance, quality, choice options, and planning. Based on these findings, this thesis presents an impact assessment for customer-based L&SCM performance. The three-plus-one customer value propositions are availability, servitization, co-creation, and cognition as enhancement. Expert interviews provide the data for the architectural framework for capturing customer value based on digital transformation technologies in L&SCM. The six dimensions covered are the customer value proposition; the value portfolio; scope of collaboration; human resource management and organization; performance management; as well as the (re-)adjusting value assessment. The main scientific contribution lies in conceptualizing the customer value for L&SCM based on digital transformation technologies whereas the architectural framework constitutes the main practical contributions. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, die Frage zu beantworten, wie digitale Transformationstechnologien dazu beitragen und bewusst eingesetzt werden können, um den Kundennutzen in Logistik und Supply Chain Management (L&SCM) von produzierenden Unternehmen zu erhöhen. Das Ergebnis ist ein architektonischer Rahmen, der Leistungskomponenten, Ansätze und Methoden vorschlägt, wie dieser Kundenmehrwert erfasst und umgesetzt werden kann. Um die Grundlage für das Framework zu schaffen, leitet diese Arbeit zunächst die zugrunde liegende Definition für digitale Transformation ab und beschreibt deren Potentiale sowie die aktuellen Barrieren für L&SCM. Die relevanten neun digitalen Transformationstechnologiebündel werden auf Basis einer systematischen Literaturanalyse identifiziert. Es handelt sich um Technologien zur automatischen Identifizierung, Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien, Cloud, cyberphysikalische Systeme, Analytics, Distributed Ledger, Automatisierungstechnologien, Augmented und Virtual Reality sowie Additive Fertigung. Diese Technologien dienen als Input für einen Nominal Group Technique-Workshop, der darauf abzielt, die Dimensionen des Kundennutzens auf der Grundlage dieser Technologien zu konzeptualisieren. Die abgeleiteten Dimensionen sind Informationsverfügbarkeit, Zeit, Produkt/Produktion, Service und Assistenzsysteme, Qualität, Auswahlmöglichkeiten und Planung. Auf der Grundlage dieser Ergebnisse wird ein Einflussmodell für kundenorientierte L&SCM Leistungen vorgestellt. Die drei plus eins Kundenwertversprechen sind Verfügbarkeit, Service, Ko-Kreation und Kognition als Zusatzkomponente bzw. Erweiterung. Experteninterviews dienen als Datenbasis für das architektonische Framework zur Erfassung des Kundennutzens auf der Grundlage digitaler Transformationstechnologien in L&SCM. Die sechs abgedeckten Dimensionen sind das Kundenwertversprechen, das Wertportfolio, Kollaboration, Personalmanagement und Organisation, Leistungsmanagement sowie die Erfassung und Bewertung des Kundenwertes. Der wichtigste wissenschaftliche Beitrag liegt in der Konzeption des Kundennutzens für L&SCM auf der Grundlage digitaler Transformationstechnologien, während der wichtigste praktische Beitrag in dem architektonischen Framework zu sehen ist.

Download or read book Impact of Category Management Practices on Performance of FMCG Supply Chains written by James W. Hamister and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation investigates the impact of Category Management practices on the performance of fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) supply chains. Category Management is a retail industry initiative that was introduced, by Marketing professionals, as part the Efficient Consumer Response (ECR) initiative in the early 1990's. Category Management is defined as the distributor/supplier process of managing categories as strategic business units, producing enhanced business results by focusing on delivering consumer value (Blattberg & Fox, 1995). Some of the expected benefits of Category Management are improved responsiveness to consumer needs, better performing mix of products at the SKU level, improved merchandizing effectiveness through combined retailer and manufacturer knowledge, and achieving a more entrepreneurial approach by organizing categories as strategic business units. Somewhat independently, Operations Management professionals have sought to improve the performance of retailers through the application of supply chain management initiatives, with seemingly little overlap with Category Management efforts. Supply chain initiatives include measures such as strategic alliances and partnering with key suppliers, coordinated inventory management, vendor management inventory (VMI), and the use of electronic data interchange (EDI) technology, etc. In recent years, Marketing researchers have begun to study Category Management practices and their impact on retail industry performance. In supply chain research, however, to the best of our knowledge there have been no studies so far on the possible impact of Category Management on retail supply chains. Thus a major objective of this research is to close the gap and investigate retail industry performance in an integrated manner, synthesizing Marketing and Supply Chain Management research. Supply chains dealing with fast moving consumer goods face interesting challenges. They are known to be dynamic contexts, requiring fast response to changing tastes and buying habits of consumers, as well as supporting broad variety of end products. These supply chains are becoming more globally dispersed as well, introducing many operational challenges in maintaining high levels of responsiveness. This is also an important sector of the economy, both in terms of employment and impact on consumers. For these reasons, we believe that this sector merits more careful attention. In order to better understand the relationship between Category Management and Supply Chain Integration, a theoretical model is developed linking the two, along with the global structural characteristics of FMCG supply chains, controlling for product and market characteristics. The supply chain management practices construct is defined as comprising strategic-level initiatives such as establishment of strategic supplier partnerships, integration intensity, information sharing, information quality, etc. The complexity of the supply chain structure is defined in terms of the horizontal structure, vertical structure, horizontal position, and a new construct termed as global dispersion. The construct Category Management practices is defined to include intensity of CM efforts, category captain resources, retailer category resources and category plan implementation. This is generally consistent with early Marketing research such as Gooner (2001). This covers activities such as the intensity of merchandising activities as well as the merchandizing resources (consumer information, promotional budgets, etc.) contributed by both suppliers and the retailer. These variables are chosen to represent the level of implementation of both Category Management and supply chain management initiatives among the trading partners. The dependent variables comprise retailer performance (defined as the combination of several retailer financial and market share performance measures), category captain performance, as well as supplier performance consisting of elements such as quality, cost, flexibility, delivery, and prompt response. The structural model developed suggests several testable hypotheses and relationships. The major hypotheses are that, first, increased adoption of category management elements may be positively related to supply chain performance. Second, increased adoption of the various supply chain management initiatives may also be positively related to supply chain performance, mediated by increased supplier partnering. This dissertation has several theoretical and managerial objectives. First, a theoretical model describing the relationship spanning two research streams in the operations management and marketing areas is developed. Second, this research empirically validates the theoretical model through survey research specifically in the FMCG sector. The FMCG sector is important to the US economy, but has received relatively insufficient attention. Third, this research may also offer practical guidance to retailers and suppliers within the FMCG sector for improving performance, with implications for both consumer satisfaction and increased firm performance.
