Supply chain management policies

The generic formulation obviously needs to be adjusted to include factors relevant to a particular decision-making problem. The literature analysis suggests that the most frequently considered factors are international factors, inventory, capacity treatment, transportation, and supply chain management policies. We discuss these below.

Intermediate-term roles and responsibilities, often defined as monthly, quarterly, or yearly, involve production planning and customer fulfillment policies. This could include the S OP process described earlier in this chapter. Another option is operating cost reduction — supply chain level This implies that the supply chain manager will undertake or participate...

In addition to specifying operating policies for the supply chain, one may find the linear state-space framework useful in studying important issues in supply chain management, such as the assessment of the potential benefits of information sharing between the retailer and the supplier (see more details in 4.3). In fact, it has been shown that in the elementary AR(1) and ARIMA(0,1,1) cases, there is no value for the retailer sharing information about the actual demand realizations with the supplier. This is because the supplier can observe the values of A-2, from the history of retailer s...

Security. Effective supply chain management depends upon a level of trust between parmers, especially in the case of rapidly evolving supply chain structures. Clearly defined and strictly enforced security policy has an important role in trust building. Obviously, information technology solutions should also support all common data security requirements.

A two-layered control strategy was described for supply chain management purposes. The strategy combines feedback controllers to account for the fast dynamics at the inventory nodes, while utilising the power of a fiilly-centralised optimisation-based model predictive controller to achieve an optimal operating policy for the supply chain network over a selected time horizon.

Supply chain managers do more than coordinate flows efficiently and effectively, but must also simultaneously protect the supply chain and its stakeholders from harm. The study of supply chain security management emerged from this dilemma. Supply chain security management is defined as, the application of policies, procedures, and technology to protect supply chain assets (product, fecilities, equipment, information, and personnel) from theft, damage, or terrorism, and to prevent the introduction of unauthorized contraband, people, or weapons of mass destruction into the supply chain (Closs and McGarrell 2004 p. 8).
