Supply chain management environment

Creating a Lean Supply Chain Management Environment... 

When we merge the two environments, we end up with the characteristics in the following table. This give us a Leaned out and optimized Supply Chain Management environment. 

By integrating the SCM and Lean models, we end up with something like Chart 10.1. In this model we see Lean at the heart of the SCM environment. Through the use of acceptance and technical tools, the performance of Lean will optimize the performance of the supply chain, which is the ultimate goal of any Supply Chain Management environment. Lean makes the supply chain move optimally.

This chapter provides a basic understanding of the different characteristics that firms develop to compete in different market environments. These operating environments form constraints on all of the operations decisions that are made and must be understood by everyone working in the environment. These characteristics influence the firms supply chain management decisions. 

Joseph L. Cavinato represents the Center for Strategic Supply Leadership at the Institute for Supply Management (formally the National Association of Purchasing Management) and teaches SCM (supply chain management) courses at Arizona State University. Based on two years of research by his organization completed in late 2001, Cavinato identihed no fewer than 16 variations of supply chain. He refers to the 16 as a spectrum of supply chain types. His work illustrates that different industry environments create their own supply chain types.

Due to the effect of uncertainties, it is very diflhcult to match demand with supply in the supply chain. Fisher et al. [16] and Fisher [17] researched the matching problem between supply and demand in the uncertain environment, and they also researched and brought up different types of products and their matching supply chains from the perspective products from the sight of products which are produced and sold by the supply chain. Afterwards, the research on the effect of unceitainties on the supply chain has become an entirely new field in the supply chain management.
