Maintaining a competitive advantage in today’s business environment is becoming increasingly complex. Customers are constantly expecting better service while simultaneously expecting price reductions; predicting future demand is becoming more and more difficult; your suppliers’ problems are becoming your own. Vendor-managed inventory is becoming a common expectation within your customer base. Acquisitions, new channels or divestitures are becoming common place events. Such companies have come to realize that effective Supply Chain Management (SCM) is a vital component of an organization’s continued success.
The essence of Supply Chain Management is finding the optimal balance between satisfying your customers and achieving operational efficiency. Companies that manage these things well, achieve operational excellence—as well as many other benefits. The rewards are certainly impressive, but the challenges are immense. Changes in supply chain operations can impact virtually every aspect of an organization, including manufacturing, logistics, information services, and sales and marketing. It demands that you examine and leverage every component of your operations, including infrastructure, sourcing, inventory, manufacturing and transportation decisions. In addition, the traditional approach—boosting production and inventories in advance of demand—is no longer feasible in light of today's competitive pressures to reduce costs and accommodate mass customization. The key business challenge today is cost-effective agility—optimizing asset deployment toward sudden demand.
