The concept of supply chain is much
misunderstood today in popular lore and
professional circles. It is
understandable because it has a subtle,
but powerful, nuance of integrated
approach to planning. The understanding
of this concept is essential for
unlocking its underlying potential of
helping sharpen competitive edge of any
operations supported business.
Supply chain as a concept
involves concerns of finished goods
logistics, warehousing, supplier
management, or enterprise systems, but
the core idea is to harness these and
more to satisfy customer needs of cost,
delivery, quality and variety. This
requires, to start with, the ability to
integrate planning across the functions
spanning suppliers to the customers.
This program is devised
to highlight the concepts followed by
true account of small and large
organizations who achieved high degree
of supply chain efficiency and excellent
results. The stories are specially
chosen to generate discussion among the
participants which would lead to
appreciation of the concepts.
Conceptual framework
supported by the key case studies would
set the participants on the path of
further discovery and application of the
concepts on their own.
