• Supply Chain Management (SCM) has emerged as the most exciting and most rewarding career in management. In the present business environment, an understanding of supply chain is a must to succeed in other functional areas like operations management, sales and marketing management, customer relationship management (CRM), physical distribution and logistics management, procurement, service-operations management, information technology management, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), financial management, global business management, strategic management, etc.

• SCM deals with management of flow of material,

information and money from supplier-to-customer

and customer-to- supplier. The course is designed to

equip the participants with concepts, tools and

techniques of Supply Chain Management (SCM),

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), and related

concepts so that they can understand the strategy,

operations, modeling, IT-enablement and other recent

trends in SCM.

Supply chain management (SCM) is about

optimizing business processes and business value

in every corner of the extended enterprise -- from

your supplier’s supplier to your customer’s

customer. SCM uses e-business concepts and Web

technologies to manage beyond the organization --

upstream and downstream. Manufacturers and

vendors can share sales forecasts, manage

inventories, schedule labor, optimize deliveries,

and improve productivity

• SCM includes mainly :

• Vendor management /Evaluation/Rating

• Procurement

• Inventory Management

• Forecasting

• Warehousing

• Logistics

• E-commerce

• Quality costs

• Distribution management

• JIT/KANBAN

• Networking

• Retail management

• How does SCM become e-business enabled?

• Companies with a network of suppliers, vendors, and

distributors need a fast, efficient way to disseminate

information and enable two-way communications. This is

done over the Web using:

• customized extranet sites

• Web servers

• groupware (e-mail-integrated collaborative software)

By using e-business based SCM solutions, companies can:

•Lower operating costs through reduced inventory

requirements

•Improve customer satisfaction by maintaining adequate

stock. This will keep your offerings fresh and attuned to

marketplace trends and changes.

•Improve productivity through better data integrity, fewer

order entry errors, less rework, and faster communications.

• Suitable Measures of Performance (MOPs) are

defined and classified as either market qualifiers or

order winners. Aggregate MOPs include Quality,

service time, service level and total logistics costs.

• Agriculture, including crop and animal husbandry, forestry

and agro-forestry, fisheries, and agro-industries, provides

livelihoods to over 70 per cent of the Indian population.

Multifunctional - an economic activity (producing goods) and

a service to the community (food security, rural employment,

and environmental obligations such as soil conservation,

sustainable natural resource management and biodiversity

protection) - is thus crucial to sustainable agricultural and

rural development in our country

This development strategy, inter alias, facilitates skill

improvement, providing employment in rural areas, transfer

of technology, rural industrialization and promoting self-

reliance among the people and to build up a strong rural

community base. An agricultural knowledge and information

system for rural empowerment and improved livelihoods i.e.

e-farmer, is the need of the hour

• e-commerce E-commerce refers to the sale of goods or products through a store online as opposed to a real world bricks and mortar site. A huge and growing area – online shopping sales in the UK hit a new high last year, hitting the £4bn per month mark in July for the first time and over a 12 month period online sales were up a massive 36% (Brand Republic).

• Online stores are not just about selling products. Many work on more sophisticated functions such as flight or hotel booking systems, comparison sites, online brokers or affiliate marketing schemes. It’s a big area but still many companies operate in sectors where this model of business isn’t always appropriate so looking more widely at the internet and emerging technology is important in presenting a presentation that is of use to each and every person accessing it.

• Growing competition, changing consumer preferences, cheaper

alternatives in the Liberalization, Privatization and Globalization

(LPG) era have thus posed great challenges and threat to the

producers of booth products/services, particularly in the supply

chain process.

• In this context, standardization, quality control and supply chain

management can make a significant difference in the marketing of

any products and the same need to be extended to rural

enterprises too

• The nature of competition in a given industry is ever changing

replacing direct competition between firms with emphasis on

better managed “information float” for the total supply chain

more so for rural industries.

• Information technology application in every facet of business is

changing the business culture worldwide of enterprises and

organizations, where logistics and supply chain management are

prime areas, to sustain in the present competitive world with
