This book was released on 2010-07-07 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2010 in the subject Business economics - Supply, Production, Logistics, grade: 1,2, European School of Business Reutlingen (Business Adminstration), language: English, abstract: The environmental surroundings of most companies have changed radically in recent years. Especially the competitive pressure has risen substantially over the past decades, fuelled by an increased globalization of markets and supply chains. In order to continuously satisfy consumer needs in a timely manner, organizations have to focus on performance and efficiency improvement measures. In terms of supply chain management, performance includes the three dimensions efficiency, effectiveness and flexibility which have to be dealt with on an equal basis. One mean to improve supply chain performance is the linkage between various IT applications involved in the whole supply chain. These efforts and trends are treated under the term electronic supply chain management (E-SCM). There are three major critical success factors for the successful operation of an electronic supply chain. These can be clustered into decision motivation (e.g. a shared vision and a strong motivation), implementation process (e.g. the tight integration of inter-organizational information systems and the re-engineering of inter-organizational business processes) and infrastructure conditions (e.g. agreement upon a shared industry standard). There are numerous benefits of an E-SCM implementation such as increased communication speed and decreased cost in terms of communication, inventory and customer service. Furthermore, E-SCM allows mitigating the bullwhip effect by improv-ing the availability of information throughout the entire supply chain. In addition E-SCM allows organizations to implement an entirely pull-based approach. One downside of E-SCM is the need to make a company’s entire business processes transparent, also towards supply chain partners who might be engaged with competitors. A further danger of E-SCM is to over-rely on speed rather than on flexibility.

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.

Download or read book Supply Chain Performance Measurement Framework written by Asawin Pasutham and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most significant paradigm shifts of modern business management is that individual businesses no longer compete as solely autonomous entities, but rather as supply chains. Firms worldwide have embraced the concept of supply chain management as important and sometimes critical to their business. The idea of a collaborative supply chain is to gain a competitive advantage by improving overall performance through measuring a holistic perspective of the supply chain. However, contemporary performance measurement theory is somewhat fragmented and fails to support this idea. Therefore, this research develops and applies an integrated supply chain performance measurement framework that provides a more holistic approach to the study of supply chain performance measurement by combining both supply chain macro processes and decision making levels. Therefore, the proposed framework can provide a balanced horizontal (cross-process) and vertical (hierarchical decision) view and measure the performance of the entire supply chain system. Firstly, literature on performance measurement frameworks and performance measurement factors of supply chain management will help to develop a conceptual framework. Next the proposed framework will be presented. The framework will be validated through in-depth interviews with three Thai manufacturing companies. The fieldwork combined varied sources in order to understand the views of manufacturers on supply chain performance in the three case study companies. The collected data were analyzed, interpreted, and reported using thematic analysis and analysis hierarchy process (AHP), which was influenced by the study's conceptual framework. This research contributes a new theory of supply chain performance measurement and knowledge on supply chain characteristics of a developing country, Thailand. The research also affects organisations by preparing decision makers to make strategic, tactical and operational level decisions with respect to supply chain macro processes. The results from the case studies also indicate the similarities and differences in their supply chain performance. Furthermore, the implications of the study are offered for both academic and practical use.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wie lassen sich verschiedene Supply Chain-Strategien abgrenzen und welche Gestaltungsempfehlungen können bezüglich eines differenzierten, auf die individuelle Supply Chain-Strategie zugeschnittenen Performance Measurement gegeben werden? Anke Giese untersucht vor dem Hintergrund dieser Frage zunächst diverse Möglichkeiten zur Typologisierung von Supply Chain-Strategien und stellt einen Ansatz zur Abgrenzung unterschiedlicher Supply Chain-Typen vor. Auf Basis dieser Typologisierung wird ein differenziertes, prozessorientiertes Konzept zur Einführung eines Performance Measurement entwickelt. Im Rahmen der Vorbereitungsphase werden dabei Fragen der Strategieableitung sowie der organisatorischen Verankerung eines Performance Measurement in den verschiedenen Supply Chain-Typen diskutiert. Somit werden für alle im Rahmen der Einführung eines Performance Measurement-Konzepts zu treffenden Entscheidungen Handlungsempfehlungen abgeleitet, die jeweils in Abhängigkeit von dem zugrunde liegenden Supply Chain-Typ diskutiert werden.

This book was released on 2023-11-23 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2023 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: A, Dedan Kimathi University of Technology, course: Supply Chain Management, language: English, abstract: A measurement and management system of supply chain performance is paramount for supply chain to achieve competitive differentiation. This paper pays attention to the concept of supply chain and performance management and significance of measuring supply chain performance. It also deals with supply chain performance and metrics, characteristics of a good performance metric, types and categories of supply chain performance metrics, methods and approaches of measuring supply chain performance, and finally, information required when measuring supply chain performance. Performance is the ability to meet certain criteria's, the time it takes, and the path used to get there. Supply chain performance is defined as the ability of the supply chain to deliver the right product to the correct location at the appropriate time at the lowest cost of logistics. This definition takes into account the time of delivery, cost, and value for the end consumer. The authors believe that this definition includes the most important aspects of the supply chain.

Produktions- und Investitionstheorie), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Supply Chain Management und Performance Measurement sind Ergebnisse der beiden jüngsten großen Paradigmenwechsel der Betriebswirtschaftslehre Ende des 20. und Anfang des 21. Jahrhunderts. Mehr und mehr gelangte man zu der Erkenntnis, daß Integration und Management von Schlüsselprozessen über alle Mitglieder einer Supply Chain hinweg den Erfolg der Einzelunternehmung ausmachen. Ein wesentliches Element der Unternehmensführung ist das Controlling, welches sich aufgrund der neuen Anforderungen des Supply Chain Managements stetig weiterentwickelt hat. Der zweite große Paradigmenwechsel wurde in den 1980er und -90er Jahren ausgelöst. Neue Begriffe wie "Lean Production" oder "TPM" wurden mit Inhalten und Konzepten versehen. Dieser Ansatz der Unternehmensführung brachte es mit sich, daß auch die bisher existierenden Controlling-Konzepte zur Leistungsmessung und -beurteilung von Unternehmungen modifiziert werden mußten. Konzepte des Performance Managements und Performance Measurements nahmen ihren Einzug in die Wirtschaft. Bisher werden modernes Supply Chain Management und die modernen Arten des Controllings noch nicht umfassend in der Literatur zusammengeführt. Das Supply Chain Controlling schafft eine Informationsbasis für die Supply Chain Partner und definiert den Begriff der Leistung (sprich: Performance) für die Kooperationspartner.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In most board rooms today, the pressure to continuously shrink the distance from gross revenue to net operating profit and consistently improve ROIC is acute. Many have realized and many more are beginning to realize that a well-integrated and managed supply chain is a major driver of continuously improving results. Advanced Supply Management Strategy and Execution makes the tie between competitive survival and supply chain leadership, maturity of process, and associated results. It clearly defines how to achieve and maintain a supply chain leadership position by focusing on real-world execution and detailed integration of specific actions and process techniques. These distinguished experts and accomplished authors have gathered the nuggets of success from many international firms and combined them into a winning formula, not available in other books, that has been achieved by the select few. This unique, how to guide brings the opportunity within the sub-processes of procurement and supply management into focus and includes both the hard side and soft side of the continuous process transformation. The real-world concepts, deployment examples, and illustrations are practical and explained with precision for ease of understanding and are tailored for application to any business environment. This no-fluff book will put money in your company coffers.In most companies, the effort to improve supply chain results has been short lived, incomplete, or sub-optimized. The most common reason is the lack of a clear understanding of what they really need to do, specifically line of sight linkage of the enterprise in the transformation process efforts to customers and shareholders. Advanced Supply Management Strategy and Execution provides a credible integrated roadmap to extended supply chain and enterprise engagement, and sustained optimized competitive business results. It is a must read for executives, consultants and managers in all types of operations management roles, and is suitable for advanced academic courses as well.

Download or read book Dealing with digital information richness in supply chain management written by Kache, Florian and published by kassel university press GmbH. This book was released on 2015 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information is one of the key enablers of modern business. The ever expanding availability of digital information, however, brings with it the challenge of handling this information appropriately. While related challenges now appear in our daily lives, this is even more the case along supply chains, where a multitude of actors is involved. This doctoral thesis addresses the topic by linking theoretical rigor with practical relevance. By assessing the current state of research in supply chain management represented in literature reviews, a range of under-represented areas of research as well as potential future research directions in the field of supply chain management are identified. Focusing on one selected exemplary under-represented area of research, the thesis takes the digital business transformation perspective, portraying the value and role of digital information in a business function context. As research on the intersection of Big Data Analytics and supply chain management is still scarce, the conceptual work offers first insights into an emerging topic, both on the internal operations level and on the supply chain level. This is beneficial from a scientific as well as a managerial perspective, as a thorough understanding of the constituents of a digital ecosystem is a key ingredient for the competitiveness and overall productivity of the company and ultimately of the supply chain as a whole.

Download or read book Increasing Supply Chain Performance in Digital Society written by Leon, Ramona Diana and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2022-06-03 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Currently, the main operations of companies are either directly or indirectly interconnected in a global-world context. Competition has drifted from an individual to a supply chain basis, where digitalization plays a key role. Companies with better digital capabilities achieve sustainable competitive market advantages. In this context, companies must identify their current position in terms of digital capabilities, link these capabilities to supply chain performance, define their future desired competitive position and how their digital capabilities are going to help them to get there, and forecast their future desired performance not only at the individual company but also at the supply chain level. Increasing Supply Chain Performance in Digital Society considers innovative approaches to measure, manage, and project towards the future of the digital capabilities of both individual companies and supply chains. It also examines the relations these have with performance being a practical tool to identify not only where they are today in terms of digital capabilities but also where they should be long term and the resources needed to get them there. Covering a range of topics such as artificial intelligence and risk management, this reference work is ideal for practitioners, researchers, scholars, business owners, industry professionals, academicians, instructors, and students.
