Initial Phase of Strategic Supply Chain Scenario Planning PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 27-slide Strategic Supply Chain Planning PowerPoint presentation, outlines the initial phase of a strategic supply chain planning process, specifically focusing on scenario building. This phase is crucial for identifying potential decisions and the uncertainties that accompany them. It is divided into 2 main components: the Strategy Team and the Supply Chain Planning Team.

The Strategy Team, composed of senior managers, is tasked with pinpointing key issues, driving forces, and factors that contribute to uncertainty. Their role involves sketching out various business scenarios that may impact the supply chain. This foundational work sets the stage for informed decision-making in subsequent phases.

On the other hand, the Supply Chain Planning Team, consisting of planners, is responsible for developing or modifying an optimization model tailored to the supply chain. This includes identifying target acquisitions and potential locations for new plants or distribution centers. They also validate their models with insights from the strategy team, ensuring alignment with the broader objectives established in Phase 2 scenario planning.

A case sample featuring Acme Vinyl Co. illustrates the practical application of this phase. The company developed official future scenarios and recommendations aimed at reconfiguring its supply chain to reduce costs. The analysis included identifying possible locations for plant alterations or closures, along with a comprehensive review of 14 product families that resulted in several hundred products. This case highlights the importance of scenario planning in optimizing supply chain operations and minimizing costs.

Overall, this slide emphasizes the structured approach required in the early stages of supply chain planning, underscoring the collaboration between strategic and operational teams to navigate uncertainties effectively.

This slide is part of the Strategic Supply Chain Planning PowerPoint presentation.
