4. Start Thinking Out of The Box
Supply Chain is not only Purchase or Inventory
Supply chain is not only Logistics
Supply Chain is not only Production
Supply Chain is Collaboration with every entities
Base on Planning, Sourcing, Making, Selling
at the end Customer Satisfactions

5. History of Supply Chain Management
1960’s - Inventory Management Focus, Cost Control
1970’s - Operations Planning
1980’s - JIT - Materials Management, Logistics
1990’s - SCM - ERP - “Integrated” Purchasing,
Financials, Manufacturing, Order Entry
2000’s - Optimized “Value Network” with Real-Time
Decision Support; Synchronized & Collaborative
Extended Network
2010’s- Effective Cost Advantage & Customer
Service Level Optimized

8. Definitions
“SUPPLY CHAIN is defined as a set of
three or more entities (organizational or
individual) directly involved in the
upstream and downstream flow of
product, services, finances and
information from a source to customer”

11. Supply Chain Integration – Push/Pull
Strategies
Hybrid of “push” and “pull” strategies to overcome disadvantages
of each
Early stages of product assembly are done in a “push” manner
Partial assembly of product based on aggregate demand forecasts
(which are more accurate than individual product demand forecasts)
Uncertainty is reduced so safety stock inventory is lower
Final product assembly is done based on customer demand for
specific product configurations
Supply chain timeline determines “push-pull boundary”

12. Supply chain activities
Forecasting demand
Selecting suppliers
Ordering material
Managing inventory
Scheduling production
On time delivery
Organizing information exchange

13. Why Is SCM Difficult?
Uncertainty is inherent to every supply chain
Travel times
Breakdowns of machines and vehicles
Weather, natural catastrophe, war
Local politics, labor conditions, border issues
Payment System
The complexity of the problem to globally optimize a supply
chain is significant
Minimize internal costs
Minimize uncertainty
Deal with remaining uncertainty
Plan Source Make Deliver Buy

14. Challenges we face…..
Common Myth….
Supply chain is nothing but fire fighting…
Theory cannot be applied in solving practical
problem.
May be we are not doing the best but we are doing is
not bad.
High level of inventory is the key to minimize risk
of stock out.
Kumruddin Al Azad
(M.COM, PGD-SCM, CSCM).
15. Supply chain is not a job of one person or one
Department…(Multi-Functional Process)
