Скачать или смотреть 027 Supply Chain

A supply chain is the end-to-end network of organizations, people, processes, information, and resources involved in planning, sourcing, making, delivering, and returning products or services to satisfy customer demand profitably.

Key idea: it is not a company, but a system of interconnected flows.

A supply chain consists of three tightly linked flows:
Physical flow – materials, products, returns
Information flow – demand signals, forecasts, plans
Financial flow – payments, credit terms, working capital

Characteristics
End-to-end: supplier’s supplier → customer’s customer
Cross-company and cross-function
Dynamic and uncertain
Trade-off driven: cost vs service vs risk

Principles: why it works this way
Systems thinking – local optimization hurts global performance
Flow efficiency vs. functional efficiency
Variability amplification - bullwhip effect
Alignment with business strategy: order winners & qualifiers
