Supply Chain Management
2 day (workshop) / Implementation depends on size of the company
In today's rapidly changing business environment,
increasingly greater demands are being placed on businesses to
provide products and services quicker - with greater added value
- to the correct location - with no relevant inventory position.
As the market becomes more and more competitive and global
competition is the norm, manufacturers are struggling to find
ways to streamline their operations and reduce annual operating
costs. If organizations do not continually improve the
efficiency of their operations, they will no longer be able to
compete in the global market. Supply Chain Management is a new
focus that manufacturers can exploit allowing them to become
leaders with the ability to effectively compete in the global
market.
The goal of Supply Chain Management is to optimize the
benefits to each link in the supply chain. Supply Chain
Management allows you to optimize your relationship with
customers and suppliers by using Lean concepts, Value Stream
Mapping, and e-Business to reduce cost and inventory, while
shortening total cycle times. Customers want more quality,
design, innovation, choice, convenience, and service, and they
want to spend less money, effort, time, and risk.
The supply chain of a company consists of different
departments ranging from procurement of materials to customer
service. Supply Chain Management means transforming a company's
supply chain into an optimally efficient and customer-satisfying
process where the effectiveness of the whole supply chain is
more important than the effectiveness of each individual
department.
