capability, capacity aligned with their
objective which encompass in create
and distribute a product.
While supply chain has existed for a
long time, most companies are
focussed to their activities within their
spreads. But it resulted disconnect and
often un-convincing supply chain. Also
it was not integrated during the time
from supplier to next and followed
chain. It is existing is still many years.
General Understanding

another production supplier at next
levels.
 Makeover of raw item into semi &
finished good items through the
companies’ facilities & process.
 Circulation of products to end
customer & their downstream
clients at all levels.
Basic Flow
Basically the information flows both
side from Supplier to Customer as vice
versa; Supply Management enhanced
into SCM the influenced core is
Procurement.
Trends & National View
 A research says that 22% of aggregate sales are trapped in inventory; far less
technology-driven than international industries compared to our country
 Upstream/Downstream logistics and transportation are the key factors impacts
goods cost, adding an average overhead of 20% to 30%, compared to global peers
 Ever changing consumer habits & poor reliability of 3PL providers, logistics and SCM
or together in the cycle of chain.
 Many feels that SCM is only a Purchase function, where it compromises the whole
chain from plan, procure to delivery
 A land of extreme from SCM perspective – a booming economy with some poor
infrastructures, extremely changed weathers, varied taxation policy, and a volatile
political climate
 These will not be eradicated overnight, the future of SCM is brighter than before
 However awareness is catching up rapidly and many organizations are working in all
areas of to make it more efficient, effective and responsive
“A quantifiable thing that reaches to an end user with involved
unified efforts of multiple parties & companies; these are
jointly are called as the Supply Chain”
High Profits equates with 7 Goals
1. The Exact Product
2. To The Exact Customer
3. At The Exact Time
4. At The Exact Place
5. In The Excellent Condition
6. In The Precise Quantity
7. At The Honest Cost
Many organizations focus to match the
demand & supply as much as can, where
everlasting triumph results followed only
by 7 goals as endless objectives.
Integration & Extended SCM
Integration is the essential concern
here; and developing alliances by
integrating org functions, process &
companies.
