4. Unit 1 – Introduction to SCM
Customer is the
initiator and the key
element in the supply
chain.
Elements that directly
or indirectly help fulfil a
customer request
make up a supply
chain.
People carry out
processes using
resources and
technology to ensure
that the goods/service
required by the
consumer reaches
them according to their
specifications.
Supply chain management is a series of planning
and management activities that an organisation
undertakes, to ultimately ensure that goods and
services are delivered to the end-consumer.
What is Supply Chain Management?

Evolution of Supply Chain
•The logistics function gave rise to supply chain.
World War II was won by countries whose military had an
efficient logistics system to supply arms, food and medicines
in time to the battle field.
•Today, banks compete for customer base by having a wide and
efficient supply chain network of ATMs.
The supply chain network aids in customer service and
retention.
•Departments functioning in isolation have integrated for visibility,
cycle time reduction and streamlined flow of goods and services.

stage must be aligned to support the supply chain
strategy.

Obstacles in Strategic Fit Achievement
1. Increase in Product Variety – Increase in demand for
Customized Products and Services
2. Decreasing Product Life Cycles – Organizations face
uncertain demands and Manufacturing constraints
3. Increasingly demanding Customers – Demand for
better product at competitive price and best quality
4. Globalization – Removal of trade restrictions enabled
Global players to venture. Due to large number of
players co-ordination becomes more difficult
5. Difficulty in executing new Strategies – Lack of skillful
employees to execute Organizations’ strategies
