Web-based Supply Chain Management (SCM)
The SCM (Supply Chain Management) is a method to comprehensively manage an operational process from customer orders, procurement, inventory controls, to product delivery. It is an indispensable method, because it enables to decrease excessive inventory and costs, shorten delivery period, promote financial resource capacities, and also promote CS (Customer Satisfaction).
The SCM is well known for the production line-side method of Toyota Inc., which is also called the "Just-in-Time" technique, which manages the production process from procurement to production, distribution, and sales. Dell Computer Inc. also applies this SCM method to rationalize a process from procurement to delivery, which enables the production of a low-priced customized product. Dell has been successful in increasing its market share of PC sales.
The e-SCM system is more preferred since it is necessary to share the information among related companies and offices (headquarters sales department, material vendors, factories, wholesale and retail stores).
The course is to analyze case studies of how companies introduce the SCM. As a master’s project, students will conduct SCM assessment, mount databases, build the SCM subsystem including designing interfaces, analyzing a hypothetical company, plan new businesses and/or develop operation improvement plan, and also design introduction planning of the SCM model.
