What is supply chain management?
Supply chain management is the co-ordination of entities, activities, information and resources involved in moving a product or service from supplier to customer; where entities consist of manufacturers, service providers, distributors and retail outlets.
Types of supply chain for inter-enterprise integration
Responsive: This kind of supply chain responds quickly and accurately to customer’s needs. ATP(available to promise) is an important feature of this responsiveness. ATP systems provide real-time integrated checks throughout the entire supply chain.
Major components of e-supply chain
Advanced scheduling and manufacturing planning: It provides detail co-ordination of all manufacturing and supply efforts based on individual customer orders. Scheduling is based on real-time analysis of changing constraints throughout the process, from equipment malfunctioning to supply interruptions. Scheduling also creates job schedules for managing the manufacturing process as well as logistics.
What is E-supply chain fusion?
Process of e-supply chain fusion involves the migration from existing non-integrated supply chain to more effective integrated supply chain and thereby creating a tightly woven supply chain.
Management issues in e-supply chain fusion
1. Determining the right e-supply chain structure: Need for cost-efficiency does not permit to maintain a large inventory of finished products for the customers. Market demands may change and the price-structure may also undergo changes. For this reason, it is important to maintain the right kind of e-supply chain structure to ensure right product at the right time.
