From the Paper:
"Supply Chain Management Systems (SCMs) have a variety of functions and uses; with their help, managers and various other individuals who work in supply chains are offered effective new ways to improve their performance. SCMs are generally employed to: a) allow suppliers and production planners to improve their plans and schedules and react more efficiently; b) empower executives by offering them the latest integrated metrics and KPIs (Key Performance Indicators), used for analysing the quality of vendor services, assessing production yields and inventory shortages; c) allow managers to analyse critical features of the supply chain, like for instance warehouse inventories, transport performances, material demand or outstanding balances; d) analyse a company's current stock status, as well as the value an location of stock, offering distribution details as well; d) monitor stock fluctuations that have an effect on customer demand; e) generate reports regarding the organisations' efficiency or various costs; f) assess product cycles, material usage, routing patterns or inventory age; g) determine trends and manage areas such as distribution or inventory towards the optimisation of the supply chain; h) forecast the evolution of the supply/demand balance; i) maintain the surveillance on the supply chain and offer automated alerts that allow managers and decision makers to tackle problems in their early stages."Sample of Sources Used:
