Operations - Supply Chain Management


Supply chain management (SCM) does not only mean to optimize individual operational functions, SCM focuses on the entire operational processes and all elements of the value adding chain. Thereby several parts of the supply chain have to be mentioned. From the perspective of a company, there is not only one supply chain: Many different supply chains are relevant as well as different suppliers on the procurement side, often combined with several production sites and last but not least with different customers on the distribution side.

Typical objectives of SCM projects are such as increasing customer satisfaction through demand-driven delivery, increased responsiveness to anticipate changes in the markets, avoiding out-of-stock situations or reducing inventories in the entire supply chain. Further examples are the reduction of lead times, increase on-time-delivery performance or the reduction of logistics costs.

Typical approaches are the management of material- and value-chains between suppliers, production units and customers. Target is to realize cost reductions and performance improvements.
