Supply-Chain Management: Past, Present and Future

11

Supply chain has evolved in stages from a set of disparate

disciplines a generation ago into an entirely different entity with

broad scope and strategic function.

A generation ago, it was defined as customer service, traffic

management, and warehousing - each function standing alone.

From there it evolved into Physical Distribution, expanded into

Logistics, morphed into Integrated Logistics and then blossomed

into Supply Chain Management.

Supply Chain - Past

12

Most recently, Supply Chain Management evolved into Supply

Network Management, reflecting the web-based integration and two-

way communication that is becoming dominant today.

Supply Chain - Present

13

The evolution continues today as several major forces reshape Supply

Network Management

Vast growth in global sourcing.

Nature disasters continues raising havoc with transportation.

Energy and oil pricing – manufacturing / suppliers closer to customers.

Shift of economic and military power toward China, India and Russia.

Developed countries getting older and developing countries getting younger.

Post 9/11, the importance of security.

Customs and Border Protection.

The supply chain isn’t what it used to be and never will be again.

Supply Chain - Present

14

Global competition, outsourcing and poor visibility — have

increased supply-and-demand risks.

Tremendous need to transform static supply chains into

dynamic one to boost their operational responsiveness.

lack of trust and coordination, and inability to allocate profits

fairly.

Many supply chain partners have conflicting goals and

objectives.

Solutions need to be explored in order to align those goals and

objectives, perhaps in the form of incentives and contracts for

the benefit of all members of the chain.

What are the current supply networks drivers?

15

Why are today’s supply networks inefficient?

Supply chains are not well integrated.

Production cannot access real-time purchasing information.

Up-to-date parts and component information is not available.

Frequent supply shortages occur because of machine breakdowns

or transportation hazards.

Short product life cycles result in high demand variability and poor

forecasting.

Complexities are present due to globalization and outsourcing.

High levels of inventories result from unforeseen events and poor

visibility.

16

New management concept ―global collaboration ‖.

global perspective, security needs, stormy disruptions, collaborative

planning and more advanced business processes and systems.

A global trading company doing business in many countries, and

each country has its own information requirements, with different

formats, communication technology, compliance requirements, etc.

best practices and data integration has never been greater—and

never more visible in the executive suite.

Supply chain - future

17

The future will see the emergence of many-to-many connections

between trading partners in supply chain networks, resulting in

a challenging environment for business,

As for technology, the Internet will bring about the creation of

information models that will enable supply chain professionals

to "see everything at one time."

Companies that are not among the leaders of the next version

of supply chain / network management will have lower

performance that impacts the consumer, trading partners,

finance, sales, marketing, supply chain, customer service—and

the bottom line!
