How do operations and supply chain processes provide a competitive advantage in the global
arena? How is a firms mission related to its strategy?
Solution
Components of Supply Chain Management (SCM)
The main elements of a supply chain include purchasing, operations, distribution, and
integration. The supply chain begins with purchasing. Purchasing managers or buyers are
typically responsible for determining which products their company will sell, sourcing product
suppliers and vendors, and procuring products from vendors at prices and terms that meets
profitability goals.
Supply chain operations focus on demand planning, forecasting, and inventory management.
Forecasts estimate customer demand for a particular product during a specific period of time
based on historical data, external drivers such as upcoming sales and promotions, and any
changes in trends or competition. Using demand planning to develop accurate forecasts is critical
to effective inventory management. Forecasts are compared to inventory levels to ensure that
distribution centers have enough, but not too much, inventory to supply stores with a sufficient
amount of product to meet demand. This allows companies to reduce inventory carrying costs
while still meeting customer needs.
Moving the product from warehouses or manufacturing plants to stores and ultimately to
customers is the distribution function of the supply chain.
Supply chain integration refers to the practice of developing a collaborative workflow among all
departments and components involved in the supply chain to maximize efficiencies and build a
lean supply chain.
