...Extended Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership Unit Title: STRATEGIC SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT AND LOGISTICS | | Unit aim This unit provides the learner with the understanding and skills to plan strategies to improve an organisation’s supply chain Unit introduction This unit focuses on how the concept of supply chain management and logistics is based on the idea that every product that reaches an end user represents the combined effort of multiple organisations which make up the supply chain and that until recently, most organisations paid attention to only what was happening within their own business. Few organisations understood, much less managed, the entire chain of activities that ultimately delivered products to the final customer. This resulted in ineffective supply chains. In this unit, learners will develop the knowledge that, today, many organisations realise that effective management of supply chain activities can lead to increased customer value and achieve sustainable competitive advantage. Supply chain activities cover everything from product development, sourcing, production and logistics, to the information systems needed to coordinate these activities. Learners will discover that the organisations that make up the supply chain are ‘linked’ through physical and information flows. Physical flows involve the transformation, movement and storage of goods and materials and are the most visible piece of the supply chain. Of equal importance are...

...Risk Management Breakdown Structure Paper Gregory Lockett CPMGT/302 Procurement and Risk Management Petula Brown July 6, 2015 Overview TechnoToday has held a place among top manufacturing companies in the United States for several years. However, due to increased competition and customer demand management has decided to implement some changes. The primary change to TechnoToday that has been outlined by management is a supplier global expansion project. Management has its eyes set on China as a new supply base. As with any project, the benefits may be obvious but undertaking the project also comes with its fair share of risks. Objectives and Resources In an effort to remain a leader in the global market, TechnoToday has made the decision to expand its supply base into China. Accomplishing this goal, however, can be a daunting task. A global supply chain needs to be agile and robust in order to meet the needs of multiple markets while simultaneously handling ever changing needs. A supply chain needs to be responsive to customer and organizational needs in terms of products as well as sourcing, manufacturing, transport, environmental and human resource relations. A global expansion project entails much more than simply setting up shop in another country, but luckily there are a number of tools available to help streamline the process. There are multiple resources that can be utilized to aid in the international transition. Historical data and records, for example,...

...Interpersonal Communication in the Supply Chain Rick London Muhlenberg College Communications Nancy Miller July 15, 2015 Abstract Effective communication is an essential part of any interaction between two or more parties. For tasks to be completed, a message must be sent so that it can be understood and acted upon by all the parties involved. In business, parties to a transaction may or may not personally know each other and oft times they may not be on the same continent or speak the same language. This paper examines several case studies to determine if the personal relationships and interpersonal communications between parties in supply chain management has a positive effect on the transaction. Interpersonal Communication in the Supply Chain Introduction Supply Chain Management (SCM) emerged as an employment field in the nineteen nineties; before that time, the study of communication in business practices has occurred since at least 1958 (Gligor & Autry, 2012, p. 24). This paper explores the necessity for effective interpersonal communication in the supply chain in the present. Communication is defined as the act or process of using words, sounds, signs, or behaviors to express or exchange information ("Definition of Communication," 2015, para.1). We are all familiar with communication in our daily lives and the importance it holds in conveying or receiving a message, but, when the operation of a business, or a supply chain in this instance, relies upon...
