The development of supply chain management is closed linked with globalization. As a result of globalization suppliers have pursued global markets, and most companies became sourcing from global suppliers what resulted in the development of global supply chains. These were transformed in the mechanism at the heart of globalization by which raw materials, parts and components are exchanged across multiple national boundaries before being incorporated into finished goods. However, in recent years this process has been in retreat.
The aim of this course is the development of tools to manage the global supply chain to analyze and evaluate it and to look at future developments.
This document summarizes a research paper on the drivers of supply chain performance. It finds that there are six key drivers - facilities, inventory, transportation, information, sourcing and pricing - that organizations must manage to enhance performance. These drivers are interrelated and organizations need to balance efficiency and responsiveness in their supply chain practices. Properly managing these six drivers through integration, goals, market identification, and other practices can help firms increase performance and gain a competitive advantage through effective supply chain management. The paper provides a framework for organizations to manage the different drivers of supply chain performance.Read less
