CHAPTER EIGHT Enterprise applications
Introduction • Supply Chain Management (SCM) • Customer Relationship Management (CRM) • Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
SCM / OM • The two disciplines are hopelessly interconnected • Your book talks about them separately but I’ll talk about them together • Operations Management (transformation – making things) • Supply Chain Management • (movement of things)
Operations Management (Terms 1) • Operations management (OM) - the management of systems or processes that convert or transform resources (inputs) into goods and services (outputs) • Production is a subset of OM • Production - is the creation of goods using the factors of production (making things from raw materials with machines) • Production management - describes all the activities managers do to help companies create goods
Operations Management (Terms 2) • Value-added - the term used to describe the difference between the cost of inputs and the value of outputs • Materials requirement planning (MRP) systems • Make sure raw materials are available for the manufacturing process • Supply chain – All parties and processes involved in procurement of raw materials and the distribution of finished goods
Operations Management (Terms 3) • Transportation planning systems track and analyze the movement of goods (raw materials, work in progress, finished goods) • JC Penney • Distribution management systems manage goods to distribution centers and to retail outlets • These systems are tightly coupled
The IT Role in SCM / OM • IT provides the systems (transactional, MIS, DSS, GIS, GPS, wireless) to make all of this work in real time or near real time)
OM Business Tasks • Forecasting • Capacity planning • Locating facilities • Scheduling (and synchronizing) • Raw materials, production, distribution • Managing inventory • Quality assurance
SCM / OM Components (Steps) • Plan • Source (we buy goods used in the means of production) • Make (we transform raw materials into finished goods) • And the time it takes to transform resources (production) or move resources (distribution) • Deliver (We get them where they are going) • Return (Defective / unwanted goods come back to us)
SCM Strategic Goals (Plan) • The strategic portion of SCM • Set up a system for managing the entire supply chain • Partners • SCM monitoring • Wal-Mart and others • Location of distribution centers • UPS package flow systems • Minimize trucks and transportation distances
OM Strategic Goals (Plan) • Lower costs for commoditized items • Improve product or process quality • MINI, Lays Example • Optimize delivery speed • Flexibility in process conversion • MINI example
SCM Components (Source) • Find suppliers • Boeing and the 787 • Wal-Mart • Establish trading protocols • EDI • Establish pricing metrics • Determine what resources will be needed • When resources will be needed • Where resources will be needed
SCM Components (Make) • Schedule production • Just-in-time inventory management • We produce assemblies and finished goods • Account for production downtime • Measure production output • Account for production variances against expected values
SCM Components (Make) • Review the Mini video • Discuss assembly processes
SCM Components (Deliver) • The logistics component • Implementation of effective transportation and distribution systems • Outsource warehousing • Location of distribution centers • Selection of transportation companies • Discuss Wal-Mart video
SCM Components (Return) • We use the term reverse logistics • The system whereby customer can return good they don’t want • Particularly important in the e-commerce world
Technology and SCM • EDI allows automated transaction processing • Purchasing / fulfillment / payment systems • Decision-support systems to optimize routing and transportation • Cross-functional systems to integrate finance / sales / accounting / etc…
Quality Systems • Six sigma – reduce defects to 3.4 per million opportunities • ISO 9000 – Quality assurance standards • IS 14000 – Environmental best practices • CMMI – develop best practices
