5. IT is making world flatter !
(Thanks to Friedman)
Outsourcing dominated paradigm
Team work and leadership assumes new meaning
Geography has become history: Time and distance are no
longer the important variables
Mobile dense and multimedia rich environment has accelerated
digital environment.
Connectivity has made the global village possible
Working on-line, flexi-time, tele/videoconferencing, and
continuous learning are changing the traditional notions of how
work gets done.
Internet is changing the way we communicate with –

6. Observations..
Transformation taking place
The way we communicate has changed.
SCM is no exception to this !
Traditional way of conducting business
has drastically changed.
Demanding customers and changing
technology

7. Supply Chain Management..
..a network of facilities and
distribution options that performs
the functions of procurement of
materials, transformation of these
materials into intermediate and
finished products and the
distribution of these finished
products to customers…..
Mohanty R P & Deshmukh S G,(ed,) 2011,
Handbook of Supply Chain Management, Excel
Books
8. Today's market..
increasingly competitive markets with new
entrants providing superior products and
services
visible shift from seller to a buyer's market with
increasing consumer emphasis on price and
quality
the necessity for an industry to succeed in
globalised economy.
9. Today's customer
Very much enlightened ?
Guided /influenced by web/mobile/media
Short attention/retention span ?
Has now options, as he can choose, what
he would like to buy from various
alternatives, and also he can dictate
terms.
Youthful? Energetic? Ready to spend ?
10.
Observations..
Supply Chain Management has matured as a
discipline
Developments in IT have made integration
possible
Basic issues in SCM : Management of Material
Flow, Information Flow and Money Flow
Basic principles can be applied to a variety of
contexts
11. Goal of SCM…
“to manage upstream and downstream
relationships with suppliers and customers
in order to create enhanced value in the
final market place at less cost to the
supply chain as a whole”
M Christopher
12. Typical key words in SCM..
Integration
Interfaces
Sharing
Collaboration
Inventory
Information
IT
13. Insights..
Inventory manifests in various forms
Inventory and information can be exchanged
Managing lead time helps in management of
inventory
Modelling helps in understanding issues from a
different perspective
Performance needs to be measured on various
dimensions (hence BSC, SCOR etc.)
14. Imperative 1:
Shortened product shelf life
Web enabled world: Number of ideas getting
generated, developed and produced
Faster product life cycle
Shelf life has shortened considerably (example:
mobile phones, tablets)
Pressure on manufacturing
15
15. Implications
You have to update continuously and must
know the state-of-the-art
You have to innovate continuously
Continuous up gradation about customer
feedback
Proper synchronization between design,
operations and supply chain
16
17. Implications
You can not afford to be invisible in the digital
world
Someone is going to measure you and make
you visible !
You and your products/services are constantly
indexed, searched
You are also under constant onslaught of new
and emerging ideas !
Your availability 24x 7 basis !
18
18. Imperative 3 :
Sharing & connectivity !
Connecting with suppliers and
customers
Sharing of information
Professional networks
Social networks
19. Implications
Sharing of information/Knowledge made easy
through IT
You must share and connect
Your collaborator may be anywhere in the
globe available 24 x 7 basis
Power & influence of social media as a
binder!

Miles Trevor Blog 13 Dec 2012
21. Comparison on…
Agility – the ability to quickly and cost-effectively shift
amounts and/or types of production and delivery to
improve operational performance in volatile conditions
Collaboration – the ability to work across organizational
boundaries to solve systemic operational problems and
create new value for both customers and partners
Execution – the consistent and reliable delivery against
commitments and within budgeted expenses

22. Why talk about competitiveness?
Traditional thinking: competition is driven by the 4P’s
Today: supply chain capabilities determine competitiveness!
Wal-Mart versus K-Mart
Compaq/HP versus Dell
A final product is not the sole goal
Customer experience is determined by supply chain: quality, cost, delivery
Significant proportion of value sourced from suppliers!
Supply chains are connected systems enabled by IT
Competitiveness of one tier is a function of the supply and distribution functions,
i.e. surrounding tiers.
“Value Chains compete, not individual companies!”
(Christopher 1992)
23. Creating a competitive supply
chain
1.
Develop strategic objectives and tactics, decide
competitive priorities
2.

internal supply chain through IT
3.
Coordinate activities with suppliers with customers in a
collaborative manner
4.

chain in a digital environment
5.
Form strategic partnerships
25. Velocity
Inventory velocity
The
rate at which inventory(material) goes
through the supply chain
Information velocity
The
rate at which information is
communicated in a supply chain
27. Challenges

Getting top management on board
Dealing with trade-offs
Small businesses
Variability and uncertainty
Long lead times

30. Perspectives on competitiveness
Competitiveness is a concept comprising of the potential, the
process and the performance.
GMR (2001)
To be competitive, several factors must exist: the desire to win,
commitment or perseverance and the availability of certain
resources.
Khalil (2000)
Competitiveness is defined in terms of ‘helping business to win’,
‘price’, product range and quality and ‘distribution and marketing’.
Dou and
Hardwick(1998)
Competitiveness arises or results from firm-specific initiatives like:
better management, leveraging and stretching of resources.
Hamel and Prahlad
Ability to design, produce and /or market products or services
superior to those offered by competitors, considering the price
and non-price qualities.
Cruz and
Rugman(1992)
Competitiveness is synonymous with productivity and is assumed
To capture quality feature as well as efficiency feature.
Porter (1990)
Competitiveness is the ability to raise income as rapidly as
competitors and to make investments necessary to keep up with
Them in the future.
Scott (1989)
Extent to which a business sector offers potential for growth and
attractive return on investment
WCR(1994)
(1993)
31. Competitiveness..
Extent to which a business sector satisfies the needs of
customers from the appropriate combination of the
following product/service characteristics: price, quality,
innovation , and satisfies the needs of its constituents;
for example, workers in terms of involvement, benefit
programmes, training, and safe workplace; offers
attractive return on investment and also offers the
potential for profitable growth.
Company competitiveness is defined as "the ability to
design, produce and/or market products superior to
those offered by competitors, considering the price and
non-price qualities" (WCR, 1991).

sustainable level of prosperity that can be
earned by an economy.
