3. CUSTOMER EXPECTATIONS
• Many players in each industry - domestic / international /
unorganised: competition in all segments
• Expectations being shaped by products & services across
industries
• Unwilling to bear inefficiencies / costs of suppliers
• Increasing need for customized services & products
• Need for responsiveness in fast changing scenarios
• Loyalty cannot be taken for granted
4. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THE
MANUFACTURER?
• “Loyal consumers” may switch to
competition if desired product is not
available / delivered
• Retailers expect immediate
response to product / service needs
• Distributors are unwilling to carry
inventory beyond accepted norms
• Cost of inventory in the supply chain
is eventually borne by manufacturer
5. COMPETITIVE PRESSURES

segments:
•Increasing need
for wide variety
•Great push to
introduce new
products rapidly

7. • Being responsive to market needs & changes
• Optimise on inventory levels across the chain:
vendor, mfr., distributor, retailer, etc
• OTIF: Order fulfillment on time in full
OBJECTIVES OF SCM:
9. If you think it is to...
Manage the component parts from Suppliers
Manage inbound freight
Manage outbound freight
Manage product distribution
Manage logistics and warehouses
SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
10.
11. SCM requires managing the flow
of information & material….
across suppliers, manufacturer, CFAs,
distributors, retailers etc. to meet customer
expectations
12. A WELL-DESIGNED SUPPLY CHAIN ADDRESSES
ISSUES THROUGHOUT THE CHAIN:
Time to Market
Lead Times / cycle times
Inventory formation and accumulation
Information and demand flow

14. INFORMATION FLOW :
A CRITICAL COMPONENT OF SCM
• Flow of information up & down the
chain is as important as Material Flow
• Helps reduce uncertainty
• Improves credibility & defines customer
expectations
• In the internet age - it will be a must for
all supply chains
• IT is playing a big role in keeping
communication flowing

16. METHODS TO IMPROVE INFORMATION
FLOW: ROLE OF IT
• ERP systems
– Focus on transaction processing
– Integrates various functions within the organisation
– Ensures connectivity across geographic locations
– Provides a clean & single information back bone
– Is fast becoming an industry standard
– Helps the organisation to become process oriented
• E-connectivity
– Is useful as a medium for connectivity across various entities
– Cheaper , faster , non-hierarchical (network)
17. ROLE OF IT… CONTD.
• SCM Packages
– Used mainly as a decision support tool in the planning
function
– Optimise various planning processes: forecasting, demand
planning, factory planning, etc..
– Helps modify the planning process based on real time
changes or constraints in the operations e.g.: likely order
completion date due to unforeseen delays, etc
– Draw basic information from ERP / other transaction
processing systems
18. PERFORMANCE MEASURES
• Motivation of supply chain links can improve only if
performance measures are put in place
• Focus of performance measures on Interfaces between
entities of the chain in place of independent individual
entity performance
• Performance measures need to be derived from overall
objective of supply chain - I.e. they need to be aligned
across the chain
19. PERFORMANCE MEASURES
Some common examples:
• Production alignment to demand
• Order Fulfilment ratio (On time in full) or Availability cover
• Forecasting efficiencies
• Distribution efficiency
• Vendor rating on delivery reliability, lead times
• Inventory turns
• Cycle times / Response time / Average Lead time
20. SCOPE OF SCM
• Demand Planning
• Production Planning
• Distribution planning
• Supply Chain Strategies
• Information management
• Performance Measures

36. CHANNELS OF DISTRIBUTION -
Functions
• Reduce number of market contacts
• Provide utility by – sorting out, accumulating,
allocation, and assorting.
• Routinization of transactions

inventory carrying, storage and order processing
37. CHANNELS OF DISTRIBUTION – Channel
structure
• Postponement – of changes in form and
identity of a product and inventory location
to the last possible point in the marketing
process. E.g. mixing of paint,
• Speculation – Converse of postponement,
reduces costs through economies of scale

process
• Establish channel objectives
• Formulate a channel strategy
• Determine channel structure alternatives
• Evaluate channel structure alternatives
• Select channel structure
39. CHANNELS OF DISTRIBUTION – Design
process
• Determine alternatives for individual channel
members
• Evaluate and select individual channel
members
• Measure and evaluate channel performance
• Evaluate channel alternatives when
performance objectives are not met
40. CHANNELS OF DISTRIBUTION – Design
