Why Supply chains are global?

            Efficient

            Resource constraints

            Cost effectiveness – Raw material/ labour

            Expertise

            Technology enabled to share information

 

What are the Issues?

 

           Difficult to plan

           Inherent risk e.g. Thai floods, Japan Tsunami, Iceland ash cloud, Australian floods

           Increased complexity

           Suppliers are core to their customers capability

           Supply chains needs to compete with each other

 

 

Barriers to worldwide sourcing

              Lack of knowledge and skills concerning global sourcing

              Resistance to change

              Longer lead times

              Difference in customs, language, and culture

              Currency fluctuation

              Increased supply risk

 

CIPS View

            Degun (2013) puts forward these priorities

            Reduce cost while improving customer satisfaction and supporting expansion and

introduce new products

            Manage the complexity arising from Omni-channel fulfilment

            Lower costs and greater efficiency

            Safety and quality  following horse meat scandal

            Develop new skills for supply chain professionals and demonstrate ROI

            Concerns on environment

            Issues on CSR related to Supply chains

McKinsey View

(Gyorey, Jochim and Norton,2010)

            Emerging from downturn

            Reduce operating costs – changing priorities

            Impact of risk

            Facing future

            Involvement of management

            Having right information

 

 

 

Strategy and role in Supply chains

 

            Strategy plays a key role in the supply chains performance

            PWC finds that Strategically focussed supply chains of organisations help them improve their

performance

        Use supply chain as an asset

        Develop end to end architecture

        Design their organisation for performance

        Build a collaborative model

        Use metrics to drive SC performance

 

See http://www.pwc.com/gx/en/operations-consulting-services/publications/supply-chain- management/index.jhtml

 

 

 

CIPS view on sustainability

 

              Sustainability in procurement terms takes into account social, economic and environmental factors alongside the typical price and quality considerations when procuring products and services.

              Sustainable procurement helps organisations to eliminate waste, become more energy efficient and inevitably save money.

 

 

Some other things to consider

 

           SCM is dynamic and demands are increasing over the years

           Role of SCM in an organisation is different from organisation to

organisation

           SCM can help organisations achieve their objectives as they can predict demand and pass the information to suppliers and be better prepared for changes in demand volumes

           SCM needs a sponsor from senior management to be successful

           SCM helps monitor and influence the whole cost base

 

 

 

CILT on Logistics

            The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) in the UK is the membership organisation for professionals leading supply chain operations for the movement of goods and people.

 

            Members of the Institute are involved in the management and design of infrastructure, systems, processes and information flows, and in the creation, management and continuous improvement of effective organisations.

 

            The work of our members adds value to people and society and directly impacts the environment, business profitability and economic growth.

 

 

 

Further terms to research

           Outsourcing/offshoring – dealing with suppliers out of organisation/out of country

           Re-shoring – bringing back work die to issues with quality, culture and economics

           Near-shoring – Firms who are relocating work to countries which are geographically near – Mexico, brazil for USA, North Africa or Eastern Europe for Western Europe

           International purchasing – sharing order information

           Global sourcing – Integrating and co-ordinating
