  • SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT Executive Education OVERVIEW Why Are Some Supply Chains More Competitive Than Others?
    SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT Executive Education OVERVIEW Why Are Some Supply Chains More Competitive Than Others? Supply chain is not another business function. Rather, it is a business philosophy that views business as a system whose individual components must be synchronized to achieve its stated business objectives. Just as there are physical laws to govern how nature works, there are laws that govern how integrated supply chain systems must operate and perform. Despite this, organizations often attempt to violate these laws implicitly through inconsistencies in customer service objectives, corporate strategy and operational capabilities. For these reasons, many firms have failed to realize the anticipated benefits and the return on investment of supply chain improvement projects. Does Your Supply Chain Suffer From Any of These Symptoms? • Poor on-time delivery • Poor capacity and labor utilization • Too much or too little inventory • Frequent last-minute changes to schedules • Long and variable lead times • Unreliable material availability • High manufacturing and logistics costs • Unpredictable profit plans • Incessant expediting and overtime • Siloed decision making Our supply chain management program is designed to provide practical and actionable solutions to correct the problem and to avoid sophisticated solutions to wrong problem. 2 IT IS RECOMMENDED SUPPLY CHAIN THIS MODULE BE LEADERSHIP COMPLETED FIRST! Common senior leadership driven objectives of 98 percent on-time customer service, 95 percent TARGETED ISSUES capacity of utilization, and 10 days of inventory may not only be challenging, but may be infeasible for the Risk and Uncertainty Management organization to achieve, given the characteristics of the manufacturing and distribution system. Learn how Inventory Optimization to quantify these trade-offs, set feasible objectives, minimize total supply chain cost and improve the Performance Metrics likelihood of achieving your plan.
