Supply Chain thinking used to be limited to the managers of few global companies—companies that were struggling to coordinate internal information and materials. This, however, led to exciting boom in cross-business coordination based on Supply Chain Management (SCM) concepts.
Today, the field has broadened and shifted over time. Current Supply Chain trends—differentiation, outsourcing, compression, and collaboration—are being used to restructure supply networks and improve coordination. As more companies integrate their networks, capabilities are improving. The levels of product customization and business complexity are also increasing. As this continues, SCM is being used in new ways to create uniquely defined customer relationships.
The field of Supply Chain Management will continue to influence companies. The best way to understand the impact of a long-term trend is to examine how the trend has changed the way executives view their businesses and what issues they choose to focus on. This framework provides every company the 6 pillars of SCM thinking—the 6 major shifts in business thinking.
1. Multi-company Collaboration
2. Market Mediation
3. Demand Focus
4. Product Design Influence
5. Business Model Innovation
6. Customized Offerings
By understanding these shifts, executives will be guided in their decision as to which Supply Chain Management initiatives and enablers should they implement internally and with partners.
This deck also includes slide templates for you to use in your own business presentations.
This comprehensive deck delves into the intricacies of Supply Chain Management, emphasizing the shift from traditional linear models to integrated, process-oriented approaches. It highlights the importance of aligning supply chain strategies with market demands and customer expectations. The PPT provides actionable insights on enhancing collaboration across multiple companies, leveraging market mediation, and focusing on demand-driven management. It also covers the critical role of product design influence, business model innovation, and customized offerings in modern SCM. Executives will find practical templates and frameworks to apply these principles within their organizations, driving efficiency and competitive advantage.
This PPT slide outlines 6 core pillars of modern supply chain management (SCM):
1. Multi-company Collaboration emphasizes partnerships beyond internal teams for enhanced efficiency.
2. Market Mediation shifts focus from physical efficiency to adapting to market dynamics.
3. Demand Focus prioritizes understanding and responding to customer demand over supply-centric views.
4. Product Design Influence transitions from single-company design to collaborative efforts that incorporate multiple stakeholder insights.
5. Business Model Innovation encourages exploring new business models beyond cost reduction for value creation.
6. Customized Offerings highlights the shift from mass-market supply to tailored solutions that meet specific customer needs.
These shifts are facilitated by advancements in technology,, but a managerial focus on enablers rather than core problems can lead to disappointing outcomes.
This PPT slide outlines the Supply Chain Management (SCM) process, emphasizing collaboration among stakeholders: end customers, retailers, distributors, manufacturers, and suppliers. Effective SCM requires seamless flow of products, information, and finances across all participants, enhancing responsiveness and efficiency. Key activities include product design, market introduction, promotion, pricing, demand fulfillment, and lifecycle management through recycling or disposal. Collaboration breaks down silos, fostering communication and leading to reduced costs and improved operational effectiveness. SCM involves strategic alignment among various functions, highlighting its importance beyond logistics. A holistic view of SCM can drive significant performance improvements and encourage businesses to rethink their supply chain strategies.
This PPT slide outlines a transition in product design philosophy from a single-company focus to a collaborative approach involving supply chain partners. The core concept, "Product Design Influence," emphasizes the role of product design in shaping supply chain dynamics and performance. Traditionally, companies focused on minimizing internal costs without considering external influences. The new approach encourages joint product and process design with supply chain partners to achieve cost efficiencies. Key breakthroughs include the importance of supplier selection in determining production locations and lead times, which affect responsiveness and efficiency. Postponement strategies are highlighted as beneficial in fast-paced industries requiring rapid market response and innovation.
This PPT slide compares 2 perspectives on Supply Chain Management (SCM): the traditional linear functional model and a dynamic process-oriented view. The traditional model illustrates the flow of materials, information, and finances among suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and end customers, emphasizing order fulfillment. The process-oriented view aligns SCM with the Product Lifecycle, highlighting activities such as product design, market introduction, promotion, pricing, demand fulfillment, and end-of-life management. This holistic approach to SCM extends beyond logistics, enhancing efficiency and responsiveness throughout the product lifecycle, from conception to disposal. Understanding these dimensions is vital for informed decision-making in business strategy.
This PPT slide outlines a pivotal transition in supply chain management from a supply-centric approach to a demand-focused framework. The traditional methodology emphasizes refining supply processes and poses guiding questions to align supply with demand patterns, reflecting a reactive stance. In contrast, the new approach advocates for a proactive stance by quantifying the impacts of poorly managed demand, enhancing supply chain performance, and driving sales. Key breakthroughs enabling this transition include mitigating the bullwhip effect and investing in better demand information, leading to sophisticated demand forecasting and management practices. This strategic pivot emphasizes anticipating market needs to improve responsiveness and agility in the supply chain.

"Last Sunday morning, I was diligently working on an important presentation for a client and found myself in need of additional content and suitable templates for various types of graphics. Flevy.com proved to be a treasure trove for both content and design at a reasonable price, considering the time I
saved. I encountered a download issue during the ordering process. However, a quick email to Flevy's support team, even on a Sunday (!!!), resulted in assistance within less than an hour, allowing me to download the content I needed. Fantastic job, Flevy! I give 5 stars for both content/price and customer service. Thank you!

"[Flevy] produces some great work that has been/continues to be of immense help not only to myself, but as I seek to provide professional services to my clients, it gives me a large "tool box" of resources that are critical to provide them with the quality of service and outcomes they are expecting."

"I have used Flevy services for a number of years and have never, ever been disappointed. As a matter of fact, David and his team continue, time after time, to impress me with their willingness to assist and in the real sense of the word. I have concluded in fact
that it is not at all just a repository of documents/resources but, in the way that David and his team manage the firm, it is like dealing with consultants always ready to assist, advise and direct you to what you really need, and they always get it right.
I am an international hospitality accomplished senior executive who has worked and lived during the past 35 years in 23 countries in 5 continents and I can humbly say that I know what customer service is, trust me.
Aside from the great and professional service that Flevy's team provide, their wide variety of material is of utmost great quality, professionally put together and most current.
Well done Flevy, keep up the great work and I look forward to continue working with you in the future and to recommend you to a variety of colleagues around the world.

"As a small business owner, the resource material available from FlevyPro has proven to be invaluable. The ability to search for material on demand based our project events and client requirements was great for me and proved very beneficial to my clients. Importantly, being able to easily edit and tailor
the material for specific purposes helped us to make presentations, knowledge sharing, and toolkit development, which formed part of the overall program collateral. While FlevyPro contains resource material that any consultancy, project or delivery firm must have, it is an essential part of a small firm or independent consultant's toolbox.
"
– Michael Duff, Managing Director at Change Strategy (UK)
