Study Notes
Supply Chain Integration
- Extend process integration to 2nd-tier partners and beyond using RFID tags to track product location throughout the supply chain.
The Supply Chain Integration Model
- Reevaluate the integration model annually to assess changes within supply chains and their impact on integration efforts.
- Review and establish SC strategies for various aspects, including:
- Parts purchased and suppliers
- Manufacturing processes
- Product design
- Transportation mode
- Warranty and return services
- Outsourcing
- Sustainability policies
- Align SC strategies with key SC process objectives, considering that key processes and methods used to manage process links may vary among supply chain partners.
Key Supply Chain Business Processes
- Eight key processes include:
- Customer relationship management
- Customer service management
- Others (not specified in the text)
Supply Chain Performance Measurement
- Develop performance measures for key processes that align with internal measures.
- Monitor links between trading partners in key SCM processes.
- Design measures consistent with overall supply chain strategies.
Improving External Process Integration and Performance
- Build, maintain, and strengthen relationships with supply chain partners.
- Share knowledge management solutions to enable real-time collaboration and information flow.
