    How does a raw material’s status as pure, weight-losing, or weight-gaining influence the facility location decision? A pure raw material is one that loses no weight in manufacturing and, because of this, the processing point can be anywhere, near the raw material source and the market. Weight-losing products lose weight during processing; the processing point should be near their source in order to avoid payment of unnecessary transportation charges. Weight-gaining products gain weight during processing; the processing point should be close to the market.…

    Supply Chain Strategy

    • 1211 Words
    • 5 Pages

    A supply chain strategy is a plan with goals and objectives. It is about using all of the elements involved in the sourcing and procurement of goods and services to produce better results for the company. Typically, strategy is aimed at achieving objectives such as pushing a new product development faster, improving the use of current technologies, bringing products and services to market faster, minimizing resource investment, and reducing specific costs and response/cycle times. Supply chain strategy is often confused with supply chain management, even though it is a lot broader, which explains why many people traditionally call it “supply strategy”, “operations strategy”, and “logistics strategy”. It defines what processes within the firm should do well, as well as what the role played by each supply chain entity is. It also supports the firm’s competitive strategy by focusing on driving down operational costs and maximizing efficiencies. It establishes the way a firm will work with its supply chain partners, including suppliers, distributors, and customers. A well executed supply chain strategy results in value creation for the firm. Developing a good supply chain strategy requires the involvement of several issues.…
