Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The control and organisation of the flow of goods in the supply chain is of vital importance to industry and commerce, including manufacturing industrial enterprises, where the timely and efficient delivery of their output at an economic cost is of great concern. This book considers the out-bound supply chain and the associated out-bound logistics ie the flow of goods from the point of production or manufacture to the point of consumption. In doing so, it has to cover a range of management topics and techniques, including measures of performance, order management and forecasting, stock management and management of the supply chain. Written in clear and jargon-free language, this book, whilst intended primarily students of engineering and manufacturing, at 3rd year undergraduate and postgraduate level, would also be of interest to logistics and operations management students. Typical examination questions are included.

Download or read book Denotation of Process and Flow Orientation for Integral Logistics written by Lisa-Marie Langfeld and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2020-03-17 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Business economics - Supply, Production, Logistics, grade: 1,0, University of Cooperative Education Mannheim, language: English, abstract: According to Schönsleben “The link between process management and logistics management is evident” (2007). In order to be able to agree to Mr. Schönsleben, the thesis on hand focuses on processes and flows involved in integral logistics. In this context, touching supply chain management is indispensable. The author also wants to sensibilise the reader for recognizing the omnipresence of processes and accompanying flows in daily operations and their increasing significance for business success. Questions answered during the following elaborations concern the development from logistics to integrated means, the existence of different process types and how to design the same. Additionally, process implementation and the position of a chief process officer are discussed. The paper also tries to point out reasons for the status quo of process handling within companies. Demonstrating the current relevance of the given topic, the results are mainly based on literature originating from the previous 15 years plus contemporary sources available via Internet. A study conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers dealing with business processes also influenced the findings. Complexity of business models and widely-branched supply chains long for a sophisticated organisational effort. Nearly every part of an integral logistics chain is related to a process and IT-support is inalienable for handling them. Physical and information flows are of equal importance. Companies do acknowledge the benefits of process management but yet the majority stays behind possibilities. Necessary investments still represent obstacles but advantages of well-working processes outweigh related concerns increasingly. Thus, further clarification is necessary among the management level to enhance sustainable awareness about process implementation for staying competitive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High-Tech and High-Touch Logistics Solutions for Supply Chain Challenges In today's fast-paced and customer-oriented business environment, superior supply chain performance is a prerequisite to getting and staying competitive. Supply Chain Strategy is based on world-class logistics practices in place in successful supply chain organizations, the latest academic breakthroughs in logistics system design, and the logic of logistics. It presents the proven pillars of success in logistics and supply chain management. Part of McGraw-Hill's Logistics Management Library, Supply Chain Strategy is organized according to author Dr. Ed Frazelle's breakthrough logistics master planning methodology. The methodology leads to metrics, process designs, system designs, and organizational strategies for total supply chain management, total logistics management, customer response, inventory planning and management, supply, transportation, and warehousing. Concise yet complete, Dr. Frazelle's book shows how to develop a comprehensive logistics and supply chain strategy, one that will both complement and support a company's strategic objectives and long-term success. Logisticsthe flow of material, information, and money between consumers and suppliershas become a key boardroom topic. It is the subject of cover features in business publications from Wall Street Journal to BusinessWeek. Annual global logistics expenditures exceed $3.5 trillion, nearly 20 percent of the world's GDP, making logistics perhaps the last frontier for major corporations to significantly increase shareholder and customer value. And at the heart of every effort to improve organizational logistics performance? Supply chain efficiency. Supply Chain Strategy is today's most comprehensive resource for up-to-the-minute thinking and practices on developing supply chain strategies that support a company's overall objectives. Covering world-class practices and systems, taken from the files of Coca-Cola, Wal-Mart, General Electric, and other companies, it covers essential supply chain subjects including: Logistics data miningfor identifying the root cause of material and information flow problems, pinpointing opportunities for process improvements, and providing an objective basis for project-team decision making Inventory planning and managementpresenting metrics, processes, and systems for forecasting, demand planning, and inventory control, yielding lower inventory levels and improved customer service Logistics information systems and Web-based logisticshelping to substitute information for inventory and work content Transportation and distributionfor connecting sourcing locations with customers at the lowest cost by, among other things, leveraging private and third-party transportation systems Logistics organization developmentincluding the seven disciplines that link enterprises across the supply chain, as well as logistics activities within those enterprises Supply Chain Strategy explains and demonstrates how decision makers can use today's technology to enhance key logistics systems at every point in the supply chain, from the time an idea or product is conceived through its delivery to the final user. It describes the major steps in developing an effective, workable logistics management programone that will reduce operating expenses, minimize capital investment, and improve overall customer service and satisfaction.

Download or read book Understanding the Dynamics of the Value Chain written by William D. Presutti and published by Business Expert Press. This book was released on 2013-01-25 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his 1985 book, Competitive Advantage, Michael Porter introduced the concept of the value chain and described it as “a systematic way of examining all activities a firm performs and how they interact, (necessary) for analyzing the sources of competitive advantage,” and introduced the idea of “linkages,” which was the real breakthrough in management thinking. Thinking of a firm as a series of horizontal and vertical linkages put the spotlight on the silo mentality within which firms operated and how business schools structured curriculum. The silo mentality caused business students unable to see the firm as a holistic entity, an understanding of how all of its parts fit together to develop competitive advantage. Students graduating with a silo mentality perpetuated the silo mentality in business firms. This book draws together existing knowledge to help facilitate the shift of mind necessary to effectively manage the value chain, and introduces a new conception of the value chain, one that has been copyrighted (2006) and provides a new perspective of the value chain commensurate with the demands of the 21st-century global economy.
