...Collaboration In one automobile, it is typically features with 20,000-30,000 parts, which all of even the largest manufacturers cannot produce themselves. Therefore, the manufacturers have to either outsource the production or purchase finished products from suppliers (including 1st to 3rd tiers). In order to achieve effective supply chain integration, the use of collaboration and coordination among channel partners that share business information, to simplify core processes, streamline cross company operations and reduce consequent channel-wide costs are suggested (Lee & Whang, 2001), (Callioni & Billington, 2001) and (Hammer, 2001) Vertical SCC includes collaboration with customers, internally (across functions) and suppliers. Horizontal SCC includes collaboration with competitors, and non-competitors. In addition, SCC also can be divided into three levels; Strategic, Tactical, and Operational levels. the formation of SCC into 3 categories; Internal-organization factors, Inter-organization and External factors There are many supply chain processes that can be joined between the collaborative partners, for example; planning, scheduling, forecasting, sourcing, production process, delivery process, problem solving, selling, etc. Besides, collaboration can be made by sharing of resources, skill, or knowledge. The success of collaborative efforts cannot be assured unless performance is properly monitored and measured. The collaborative indexes and measurement should...

The company designed its supply chains based on a mix of cost optimization, delivery speed and product choices that customers value, while aligning internally across all functions to execute against this vision. Key Findings Dell's market and business strategies changed, requiring the company to move from a single supply chain to a customer segmentation supply chain approach. A unified, cross-functional business strategy with collaborative, decision-making processes across sales, marketing, product design, finance and supply chain is essential for segmentation. Segmentation is enabled by a cost-to-serve (CTS) methodology to dynamically allocate costs to business decisions, highlight net profitability and drive the right actions for each supply chain. Supply chain segmentation is a multiyear journey enabled by the development and alignment of organizational skills to the needs of the journey's different phases. Recommendations Start with segmentation of your company's customers and channels to understand the different demand rhythms and cycles. Focus on decreasing the time required...

...have been exposed to numerous supply interruptions and have grown accustomed to rapidly fluctuating supply and demand patterns. Kraljic (1983) asserts that purchasing calls for a total change of perspective: from a mere operating function to a strategic management of supply. In an intricate supply environment, simple monitoring of current developments is inadequate for a growing organisation like, OMITTED. Rather, the risks and complexities associated with purchasing should undergo comprehensive pre-evaluation and be curbed under extensive management strategy. In 1983, Peter Kraljic delved deeper into this issue by devising a simple but effective technique in assessing supply conditions with the intention of formulating effective supply strategies. To this day, the method is widely regarded as one of the most powerful supply management tools and has acted as the backbone of many organisations, bringing long established success to large companies - most notably, Shell, Alcatel and Philips (Van Weele 2000). The two phase Kraljic approach The approach devised by Kraljic follows a simple two step procedure in formulating different supply strategies. First, all purchased items and services are classified in a matrix form with respect to their profit impact and supply risk as displayed in Figure 1 below. Second, purchasing strategies and action plans are developed according to the classifications. High Leverage Strategic Profit impact Non-critical Bottleneck Low Kraljic...

...industry in a climate where corporate accounting practices are being heavily scrutinized and anything perceived to be discretionary spending is queried. In addition, the industry is seeing dramatic consolidation via merger and acquisition activity with leaders increasing their market share and dominance in the supply chain. Traditional product lifecycle management is being challenged with the frequent introduction of new products and services with shorter lifecycles and a focus on brand extension. All of the above is placing intense pressure on conventional manufacturing and supply chain practices. IT Trends Recent research conducted by SSA Global Technologies shows that there is an increased emphasis on cost saving and efficiency, with demands on IT to do more with less, and for new IT investments to deliver significant returns on investment than were expected in the past.1 1 SSA GT Global Manufacturing Survey 2002 Not surprisingly, in the context of the above environmental factors, research conducted by AMR Research2 found that for 2003, projected software spend for manufacturing organizations with US$500m+ turnover would be mostly in the area of supply chain management (33%), customer relationship management (18%), business intelligence (17%), portals (12%) and only 3% on core ERP. For organizations under US$500m turnover, however, the picture is very different. AMR Research found that an overwhelming 31% of projected...

The research question of this article refers to how the two collaboration concepts (vertical and horizontal) in supply chain can be influenced in practice by potential risk factors. This research proposes five alternatives for a good collaboration: Information sharing collaboration, Decision synchronization collaboration, Incentive alignment collaboration, Resource and skill sharing collaboration, Knowledge Management collaboration. After a thorough research and detailed discussions, the authors identified 16 risk factors most present in literature. The research methodology was combined with the application of the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). © 2014 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

...1. Question Supply Chain Resources definition are Materials, People, Information, Money or any other such resources that must be managed for profitable business operations. Define and describe brief information of the resources defined. Supply chain management (SCM) is the management of the flow of goods. It includes the movement and storage of raw materials, work-in-process inventory, and finished goods from point of origin to point of consumption. Interconnected or interlinked networks, channels and node businesses are involved in the provision of products and services required by end customers in a supply chain. Supply chain management has been defined as the "design, planning, execution, control, and monitoring of supply chain activities with the objective of creating net value, building a competitive infrastructure, leveraging worldwide logistics, synchronizing supply with demand and measuring performance globally. SCM draws heavily from the areas of operations management, logistics, procurement, and information technology, and strives for an integrated approach. Commonly accepted definitions of supply chain management include: • The management of upstream and downstream value-added flows of materials, final goods, and related information among suppliers, company, resellers, and final consumers. • The systematic, strategic coordination of traditional business functions and tactics across all business functions within a particular...

Introduction The US-American telecommunications company CISCO depreciated 2.25 million US dollars in the third quarter of 2001 due to excess stock (Beer, 2014, p. 1). According to Beer (2014, p. 3.) the bullwhip effect is the probably most important reason for this depreciation. The bullwhip effect affects production and leads to a shortage of stocks or excess stocks, drops in sales, increases inventory costs and instability of planning (Beer, 2014, p. 3). Productivity losses due to the bullwhip effect are between 10 and 30%, according to Beer (2014, p. 3). Thus, eliminating the bullwhip effect is one of the most important goals of supply chain management. Since the length of production chains has increased over the last decades, due to the...
