Overview of Logistics and Supply Chain Management Dr.T.A.S.Vijayaraghavan, XLRI Jamshedpur Supply Chain Management Supply Chain Management is now part of the business vocabulary. Impact of global marketplace drastically changed the landscape of business. Change was rapid and continuous in the 1990s. Doing business in the comfort zone was no longer synonymous with success Sorry for the clichés! Most books and lectures start with these and hence I too have to!! 1

Successful Companies either have a productivity advantage or they have a Value advantage or a combination of the two Productivity Advantage gives a lower cost profile and the Value Advantage gives the product or offering a differential plus over competitive offerings Supply Chain and Logistics Management can provide a multitude of ways to increase efficiency and productivity and hence contribute significantly to reduced unit costs Companies have focused upon service as a means of competitive advantage Logistics and Competitive Advantage Value Advantage Low High Service Leader Responsiveness Commodity Market Cost and Service Leader Cost Leader Efficiency Low High Productivity Advantage 3

Flows in a Supply Chain Information Product Funds Customer The Changing Business Landscape Five Driving Forces The Empowered Consumer Power Shift in the Supply Chain Liberalization Globalization Technology (I call them as Pancha Bhuthas of Business!) 5
Five Driving Forces First The Empowered Consumer Impact on logistics is more direct. Informed consumers have low tolerance for poor quality in products and services. Changing demographics commands 24/7 service. Increased customer service increases the importance of logistics and supply chains. Demand Management is tougher in supply chains!! This is what I call a challenge: Five Thousand people out there to manage the supply chain..and we two are holding the fort on the demand front 6
So.. Customer holds the fort in Supply Chains and it is a dynamic force So customer is the King or Queen and so effectiveness is emphasized all throughout I do appreciate your honesty in admitting to a weak supply chain management. But that still doesn t explain the one-and-a half-idly Five Driving Forces Second.Power Shift in the Supply Chain Power shift in the supply chain towards retailers and customers from Manufacturing 7
Five Driving Forces Power Shift in the Supply Chain Large retailers more demanding and commanding. Focus upon distribution costs Changing logistics and supply chain strategies resulted from shifts in the balance of economic power. But this can possibly cause something else in the supply chain!!!!

Five Driving Forces Third Liberalisation Changing economic controls empowered creativity and competition. Changes in transportation fewer or no economic controls over rates and services. Change in financial institutions blurred traditional differences and increased competition. Change in the communications industry also resulted in more competition. Changes in the utility industry allows more competition. Five Driving Forces Fourth.Globalization Global marketplace concept Global network sourcing, manufacturing, marketing and distribution Global alternatives have blossomed No geography --- access available to the world Supply chain challenges New supply sources 10

And.you all thought only the species called Professors can confuse you.!!!!!! (It s all outsourced now!) The term SCM is relatively new and first time appeared in 1982 In 1990 academics first described SCM from a theoretical standpoint to clarify the difference from more traditional approaches to managing the flow of materials and the associated information. 13
The initial usage of the term SCM emphasized a reduction in inventory both within and across firms but that initial perspective has been broadening. The term Logistics also has many interpretations. From some statements of SCM, it appeared that SCM is Logistics across inter-organizational boundaries We will discuss first about Logistics Management and later come to the discussion on Supply Chain Management 14
