| Supply Chain Management |
Supply chain refers to a
system of people, organization, technology, information, activities,
and other resources which are involved in movement of products,
services or both from supplier(s) to customer(s). It is to manage
supply and demand economically, on time and adequately. Hence it
requires an efficient way of forecasting, planning, implementation
and execution of supply chain operations. Main objective of supply
chain management is satisfaction of mid and end user through
efficient utilization of distribution capacity, labor, inventory and
other available resources.
An effective Supply Chain
Management involves following activities:
- Procurement
- Storage of raw materials
- Planning of production
- Scheduling
- Storage of raw materials
- Warehousing
- Inventory
- Finished goods
- Processing of order
- Customer service
- Returns Management
- Reverse Logistics
Although companies have
learnt to squeeze maximum efficiencies out of their manufacturing
plants through statistical process control, lean manufacturing
practices and just in time replenishment, but they still face the
problem of moving goods and services through different layers of
global supply chain. This is because the process of movement is
costly and time consuming.
Both logistics and supply
chain involve movement of storage of materials within company and
movement of finished goods to the end users hence they have become of
prime importance to most of the businesses.
