Introduction to Supply Chain Networks N. Viswanadham
What are Supply Chain Networks? l Behind Every Product there is a Supply Chain l Earlier, the network is fully owned by one company (Ford) l Currently, it is a network of companies, located in different countries, involved in product design, manufacture & delivery to customers. E.g. Auto, Pharma, aerospace, electronics, computer, food, apparel,etc. l Components may be sourced from several countries, assembled in another country, and distributed to the customers all over the world. l Network coordination is important.

Three (Material,Information & Financial) Flows l Logistics network provides a streamlined material flow between all partners, reducing lead time and cost. l Communications network provides information integration between companies of supply chain network l Financial network connects all institutions providing Funds, letters of credit and Insurance.
Three Sub Networks Demand sub-network: consists of manufacturing, distribution, retailing, logistics and finance. Perfect delivery is important. l Supply sub-network : B2B network consisting of suppliers, manufacturers, inbound logistics, Financial Institutions and Freight forwarders. l Service sub-network: connects consumer with suppliers & manufacturers after sales service centers.
The Three Business Processes l Procurement: Sourcing raw materials and components from the suppliers : Vendor & logistics provider selection, Delivery scheduling & Inventory management. l Manufacturing: Could be in a single location or geographically distributed. l Distribution & Retail: consists of packaging, transportation and warehousing.

l Suppliers The Six Dominant Players l Logistics Players: B2B and B2C l Contract manufacturers l Original Equipment Manufacturers l Distributors l Retailers They are independent companies globally distributed & highly connected
Life-cycle-based Logistics l Logistics depends on the product life cycle Movement of Semi finished items from one machine shop to another (Manufacturing logistics) Movement of Finished products from end of the production line to the consumer (Outbound logistics) Movement of Raw materials from source of supply to the beginning of the production line. (Inbound logistics) Movement of Spare parts from manufacturers to the customers via dealers (Spare part logistics) Movement of Used goods from consumer to the manufacturers (Reverse logistics) 191206 N.Viswanadham
1PL, 2 PL and 3 PLs l Most manufacturers handle all logistics functions including trucking and warehousing (1PL). l 2PLs are basic transportation and storage providers such as truckers, warehouses and container lines and have high levels of asset intensity but low barriers to entry. Airports and Seaports as capacity providers are also categorized as 2PLs l 3PLs provide total value added logistic solutions Own some assets such as distribution centers and rent assets available 2PLs.

Best Practices in SCN N.Viswanadham
Best Practices in SCN-1 l Supply hubs: Third Party maintains inventory for the suppliers at the manufacturer site. l Modularization: Design of component modules that can be used in multiple products l Standardization: specifying common parts for use in multiple products and models. l Cross docks: Transshipment facilities where goods are sorted, consolidated and loaded onto outbound trucks
Best Practices in SCN-2 l Postponement: Final assembly done adding customer specific features such as labeling garments, packaging with customized manuals based on the customer order l Merge-in-transit: Components shipped from different production units & warehouses are assembled during transit l Collaborative Planning, Forecasting & Replenishment combines the collaborative intelligence of multiple trading partners in planning and fulfillment of customer demand
