Paper Summary:
This paper discusses Ford Motor Company's supply chain. Referenced is the Harvard Business School case study that examines Ford's quest to implement a supply chain network reminiscent of Dell Computer's supply chain. The conclusion of this analysis is that Ford should not overlay Dell's supply chain model because Ford's business model and structure is completely different than Dell's business model and operating structure.From the Paper:
"Ford Motor Company (Ford) is faced with the dilemma of dramatically altering its supply chain to take advantage of technological advances that have made supply chains in other industries virtual, real-time and completely transparent. In particular, Ford is examining the possibility of restructuring its supply chain to resemble a technology manufacturing and distribution model; specifically that of Dell where inventories are kept to a bare minimum and build to order methodologies the norm."More papers on Ford Supply Chain :
