Supply Chain Management: Where Customer Satisfaction Begins

Virtually every corporate process is impacted by the new realities of business: hyper competition coupled with globalization, shortened product lifecycles, ever more demanding customers, industry consolidation and alliances, and rapidly changing technology. While marketing often takes the limelight, the other end of the business—Supply Chain Management—is equally affected.

Supply Chain Management (SCM) is the "let's-keep-things-moving-efficiently" aspect of satisfying customers and encompasses:

• Just-in-time delivery
• Precise inventory visibility
• Online distribution tracking
• Warehousing
• Logistics
• Demand forecasting

Supply Chain Management Offers Far-reaching Benefits

By effectively managing your supply chain, you can improve supplier selection, purchasing, warehousing, and distribution—advances that ultimately simplify operational complexity and benefit a number of business processes downstream. Overall, you can expect improved delivery performance through quicker customer response and fulfillment rates. The list of benefits is long:

• Greater productivity and lower costs
• Reduced inventory throughout the chain
• Improved forecasting precision
• Fewer suppliers and shorter planning cycles
• Improved quality and more technologically advanced products
• Enhanced inter-operational communications and cooperation
