01_BasicSCM

• Elementary form of a supply chain is a goal orientied network of processes and stock points used to deliver goods and services to customers

  • Processes: individual activities (producing and distributing goods and services)

    • Manufacturing/Service operations

    • Engineering design funtions

  • Stock points: Locations where inventories are held

    • Result of deliberate policy decisions (retail stock)

    • Consequence of problem in the system (backlog)

• Processes and Stockpoints are connected with each other

• Varying Size

  • Single process

  • Sequence of stations

  • Most complex: Network with multiple lines

• Complexity

• SCM takes into account every facility that has an impact on cost or profit and plays a role in making the product conform to customers requirements

• Objectives: Efficient and cost-effective across entire systems

• Levels: strategic, tactical, operational

• Difference to logistic:

  • More global and broader view

  • Cooperations, collaborations, outsourcing and contracts

  • Materials program and supplier selection

  • Customer involvements

• SCM is a decision making process taht aims at optimizing overall supply chain performance

• SCM is a set of approaches utilized to efficiently integrate

  • suppliers,

  • manufacturers,

  • warehouses, and

  • stores,

• so that merchandise is produced and distributed

  • at the desired quantities,

  • to the right locations, and

  • at the right time,

  in order to minimize systemwide costs or maximize total profit while satisfying service level requirements

• Uncertainty (Demand, Shipping times)

• Complexity (large, globale network)

• Conflicting Objectives

• Dynamic Systems (Systems evolves overtimes)

• Hierarchical structure

• Functional dimension (supply chain process)

  • Procurement (provide resources necessary for production)

  • Production (Determination of production location, times and quantities)

  • Distribution (Choice of transportation routes)

  • Sales (planing processes concerned with customer orders and demand forecast)

• Time dimension (planning horizon)

  • Long term (strategic)

  • Mid term (tactical)

  • Short term (operational)

Kommentar:

• Global: dont see the details anymore

• Interaction: Kunden möchten jeweils Standards vorgeben. Dies kann zu Zielkonflikten führen oder zu operationalen Schwierigkeiten
