Assignment Details
Many business functions involved in supply chain management are necessary to manage a global supply chain operation, including production planning and control. The operation of each function requires various processes using information technology (IT). Systems used can include the following:
- Customer relationship management to manage client information
- Supplier management to manage supplier information
- Warehouse management to manage volume and inventory location
A breakdown in process and system by either or all functions involved can result in the product not meeting the customer’s quality standards.
Use this template to complete the assignment: Unit 1 Template (See Attatched).
Assess the business function review covering marketing, finance, and IT in a global supply chain operation, and include the following:
- The introduction should introduce the reader to marketing, finance, and IT in a global supply chain operation.
- Assess an analysis differentiating each global supply chain function and how they contribute (separately and collaboratively) to solve a quality-related problem and comparing how finance and IT specifically support production control processes. Consider the following:
- How marketing strengthens the company’s competitiveness and position and builds internal and external relationships that support operational efficiency.
- How marketing, finance, and IT are directly or indirectly related to the supply chain
- Why integrating financial services and IT into supply chain management is about finding new opportunities for cost reductions and driving effective and efficient processing
- The conclusion should summarize your key points.
