A supply chain consists of all parties involved, directly or indirectly, in the procurement of a product or raw material. Supply chain management (SCM) involves the management of information flows between and among stages in a supply chain to maximize total supply chain effectiveness and profitability.…

    Analyzing Business Processes for an Enterprise System 1

    The case goes in depth into the firm’s order process. When a customer faxes, mails in the order, or calls, his order is taken down by a representative who manually takes down necessary information required for the order on an order pad. The representative accesses the firm’s order entry system and checks the inventory and location for each product the customer orders. After all relevant information regarding the order is gathered, the customer is contacted by the representative who confirms the entire order before proceeding. The representative suggests a delivery date of four to five business days. If the customer would prefer an earlier delivery, the representative checks the order entry system to see the warehouse nearest in location to the customer shipping address. This check appears to be redundant as orders are generally delivered from the nearest location to the customer.…

    Supply Chain Management

    Intelligent decisions require quality information. All information should be judged according to five criteria: relevance, accuracy, timeliness, clarity, and visibility. Deficiencies in any of these areas will weaken the decisionmaking process. Ensuring the quality of information is critical for effective supply chain management. Unfortunately, the complexity of the task intimidates many companies into settling for inefficiencies and inaccuracies. As a result, decisions are based on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that can be ambiguous, imprecise or even incorrect. A KPI is only as reliable as the information on which it is based. However, there are numerous barriers to extracting quality data for KPIs. Too often information exists in a state of chaos. Data is recorded in different forms in different departments using different software. Calculating a particular KPI might require data from the general ledger, warehouse management system (WMS), enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, a third-party logistics (3PL) partner, and other disparate sources. Adding to the chaos, the data in different systems often will not agree. Achieving clarity is not easy, but the advantages are both extensive and substantial. Effective KPIs strengthen supply chain management in three ways. First, they help identify weaknesses within the supply chain where corrective action is required. Second, they illuminate best practices that can be replicated elsewhere in the supply chain for improved performance. Third, they help evaluate the efficiency of outside agencies and business partners who provide services to the company. No company operates at perfect efficiency. Improvements in supply chain management can result in tens of millions of dollars in annual savings, if the company has the tools to make effective decisions. OHL has developed a…
