6. The integrated supply chain concept has gone through three distinct phases...“Push” era focused on distribution of finished goods
Managed WIP, raw materials, and finished goods as separate functions
Mgmt required production to be balanced with customer requirementsPhase I
1960-1975Importance realized in integrating operations within the enterprise
Computer horsepower applied to manage material flow
Companies began to migrate from “inventory push” to a “customer pull” channelPhase II
1975-1990Significant productivity increases could only be realized through managing relationships, information and material flow across enterprise borders
Recognized the “delivery of enhanced customers and economic value through the synchronized management of the flow of physical goods and associated information from sourcing to consumption”Phase III

CustomersSupplierW’houseW’houseRetailRetailCustomerTrucksSCM ApproachesSCM Overview10
12. Source
This portion of the model pertains to procurement of goods (raw materials, semi-finished, or finished) and services. Partnership building, strategic sourcing, organization compatibility, technological capabilities, and commitments to continuous improvement are all important elements.
Produce
This section of the model addresses the physical manufacturing process and any corresponding constraints, if applicable. Production scheduling, labor scheduling, and minimizing downtime and setup costs are all key factors in the production process and supply chain management. More importantly, the coordination of these efforts with other functional areas of a company must be evaluated to ensure the greatest supply chain efficiency.Store
The Store segment of the model refers to receiving and shipping practices, inventory management, warehouse management, and selection of products for distribution. Internal vs. outsourcing alternatives, process flows, layouts, and storage-density practices must be evaluated in terms of cost, quality, and speed. The economic and competitive consequences of various warehousing strategies must be analyzed to ensure a better return on assets and long-term, bottom-line impact.Supply Chain ModelSCM Overview11
13. Plan
Disciplined planning is needed to maximize the coordination of supply chain functions. In addition, it is important that an overall strategic plan and goals exist in order to provide a common and uniform direction to the different operating functions. This information must be accurate, timely, and freely shared. Forecasting is part of the planning process, in addition to the integration and collaboration of processes and practices. Transport
This section covers the movement of goods from the supplier to the production facility and/or distribution center and from the distribution center to the customer. Regulations, litigation, technology, relationships, customer expectations, and delivery alternatives are all important components. The right strategy, including partnering relationships, can differ dramatically from one market to the next.
Sell
Attracting, managing, and retaining customers is the main focus of the Selling section of the model. A better understanding of customers’ needs, goals and behavior can improve product development and delivery. Policies, procedures, processes, and systems are significant factors which must be examined in order to improve service and increase customer satisfaction.

23. Automotive suppliers define supply chain management differently. The activities comprising automotive suppliers’ supply chains also differ dramatically.
The majority of respondents were unsure whether supply chain strategies are aligned with business unit and corporate strategies.
Companies with supply chain strategies place emphasis on performance measurement and supplier and customer facing issues, but little emphasis on defining action plans, budgets, investment requirements, and resources required to implement those plans.
Companies assessed that they were best prepared to respond to global supply chain issues, but less capable of capturing supply chain costs, measuring performance, and selecting and integrating software solutions.

38. Best PracticesSupply Chain ManagementUtilize external resources on an as-needed basis to fulfill supply chain resource and skill deficiencies.
Establish criteria for selecting and measuring supply chain partner performance.
Retain those functions or processes that give the company a competitive advantage; outsource processes where the company lags in expertise of efficiency.
Develop an outsourcing strategy that reflects the corporate vision.
Work with trusted outsourcers, yet clearly communicate expectations in original contracts.
Define requirements and expectations in terms of outcomes, not tasks or activities.
Link outsourcer compensation to outsourcer performance.
Integrate third-party outsourcing goals, objectives and resource requirements into the supply chain strategic plan.37
39. The list of activities included in the definitions of supply chain are broader than the scope of the supply chain executive’s responsibilities.
Supply chain responsibilities are shared in most organizations. Most notably, supply chain executives are not responsible for manufacturing and customer-facing sales activities.
Companies with shared responsibilities for supply chain management require flexible organizational structures to facilitate communication among supply chain executives to foster optimization of the total supply chain.
On a limited basis, suppliers are looking to their own suppliers, customers and other third parties to help fill resource and skill deficiencies.
Third party relationships are expected to grow as the outsourcing trend increases.Key Findings Supply Chain Management38

47. Previously:
Supply chain was not elevated in importance and visibility.
Senior executives were not aware of the advantages to be gained by effective supply chain management.
Today:
OEMs and suppliers are identifying similar barriers to achieving a desired level of supply chain performance.
They have executive support and attention but are lacking the resources, skills and systems required to achieve targeted levels of performance.
Suppliers have implemented performance measurement programs but generally lack confidence in the program’s overall level of performance.
The lack of integrated or automated systems to capture performance-related data and the availability of accurate and timely data are primary contributors.
OEM’s are more satisfied with the overall performance of their supply chains than suppliers and rate overall supply chain performance significantly higher than suppliers. Key FindingsPerformance Measurement46
