Supply Chain & Operations Management
Management of materials has emerged from its series of functional silos to become an integrated process linking the purchase of raw materials at the front of the process to the logistics of finished goods deployment and distribution at the end.
Either in the traditional manufacturing resource planning (MRP) modules of the modern enterprise system or in the just-in-time approach of Kanban / pull systems, the necessity of supply chain management is a seamless and synchronous flow of goods from suppliers through manufacturing and intermediate storage points to the customer. Of course, this flow of materials must take place within the constraints of shorter customer lead times and with lower inventories at points through the process. Every manufacturing company has a supply chain—but not all have a supply chain management strategy.
