Physical supply Physical distribution materials management outbound logistics inbound logistics

 Development of the Supply Chain Concept

 Started in the 1960s with the development of the physical distribution concept

 Initial focus on physical distribution or outbound logistics was logical

since finished goods

 During the 1980s, the logistics or integrated logistics management

concept developed in a growing number of organizations

 The underlying logic of the systems or total cost concept was also the rationale for logistics management

 Supply chain management can be viewed as a pipeline or conduit for the efficient and effective flow of products/materials, services,

information, and financials

 Major Supply Chain Issues

 Supply Chain Networks

 The network facilities and supporting transportation is important

 Increased complexity for organizations is a problem

 Inventory Deployments

 inventory duplication

 the bullwhip effect

 Collection and storage of vast amounts of data

 Cost/Value

 efficiency (cost) and effectiveness (value) prevention of suboptimization

 Organizational Relationships

 Tradeoffs and optimization

 Performance Measurement

 Why and how

Major Supply Chain Issues

 Technology

 challenge is to evaluate and successfully implement the technology

 Transportation Management

 concern and potential challenge since 9/11

 Cash flow has become one of the most important measures of

financial viability in today’s global markets Supply chains are an

important determinant of improved cash flow since they impact

order cycle time to customers

on investment or assets and improve shareholder value

remain competitive

Chapter 1 Summary

 The rate of change has been driven by a set of external forces

including but not limited to globalization, technology, organizational consolidation and shifts in power in supply chains, an empowered consumer, and government policy and regulations

 The conceptual basis of the supply chain is not new In fact,

organizations have evolved from physical distribution management

to logistics management to supply chain management

 Supply chains need to focus on the customers at the end of the supply chain and be flexible and responsive

 Technology is important to facilitate change, but it must follow a Chapter 1 Summary (cont.)

 Transportation management and security have become increasingly important in the twenty-first century because of changes that have occurred

 Supply chains are boundary spanning and require managing three flows—products, information, and financials (cash)

 Supply chain management is a journey, not a goal, and there are no

“silver bullets” since all supply chains are unique

 Information is power, and collaborative relationships internally and externally are a necessary ingredient for success

 The performance of supply chains must be measured in terms of overall corporate goals for success
