...Proposal – Establishing Sole Source Management Process in company N 1. Introduction The purpose of this proposal is to suggest the SCM manager in our company ( company N) to establish a formal business process in sole source vendor management immediately. Sole source is a non-competitive purchase or procurement process accomplished after soliciting and negotiating with only one source, so-called sole source, thus limiting Full and Open Competition (FOC). The current situation in our company is there is about 20 sole source vendors listed in the company Approved Manufacturers’ List (AML). It is mandatory for all our four EPC companies to use the sole source vendor without open bids for those specific products. However, a significant issue we are facing now is that our company doesn’t have a process in place to manage the sole source vendors. One of the two critical problems is proper documentation justifying why each sole source vendor is selected is not in place. The other major issue is that there is no agreement established with these sole source vendors (covering pricing, maintenance, etc). According to EPC schedules, they need to start to award Purchase Orders. But when it comes to sole sourced products, they are not clear on how to proceed. One urgent example is now it is the time for unit 20 Fluor to purchase gasket but they have no idea if they should start negotiating the pricing and other terms on behalf of our company or they should wait until our company...

...Extended Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership Unit Title: STRATEGIC SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT AND LOGISTICS | | Unit aim This unit provides the learner with the understanding and skills to plan strategies to improve an organisation’s supply chain Unit introduction This unit focuses on how the concept of supply chain management and logistics is based on the idea that every product that reaches an end user represents the combined effort of multiple organisations which make up the supply chain and that until recently, most organisations paid attention to only what was happening within their own business. Few organisations understood, much less managed, the entire chain of activities that ultimately delivered products to the final customer. This resulted in ineffective supply chains. In this unit, learners will develop the knowledge that, today, many organisations realise that effective management of supply chain activities can lead to increased customer value and achieve sustainable competitive advantage. Supply chain activities cover everything from product development, sourcing, production and logistics, to the information systems needed to coordinate these activities. Learners will discover that the organisations that make up the supply chain are ‘linked’ through physical and information flows. Physical flows involve the transformation, movement and storage of goods and materials and are the most visible piece of the supply chain. Of equal importance...

To start off we must first understand what does Supply Chain Management (SCM) means, SCM simply means the managing of a product or service flow during its life cycle M. Rouse, (2010). The average understanding of a product or service flow is usually from the provider to the direct customers. However, there is more to the flow than we know. For example there is the “backward flow” from your first tier supplier to your second tier supplier and so on, also the flow usually does not end at your direct customers or in this case first tier customer, in some industry your first tier customers may be suppliers of product and services to your second tier customers. For example, your first tier customer could...

...End-of-term SCM Globe Summary paper Overview and learning objective: The personal experiences with simulation and modeling exercises are unique to an individual decision-maker. The goal of the Cincinnati Seasonings exercise is not the final outcome. Achievement is measured within the learning and accomplishments as a student evaluates options, selects an action plan, monitors results, and makes further adjustments. In a continuous improvement model, this approach is the "plan-do-check-act" cycle. During week 10 as the simulation draws to a close, the paper is an opportunity for each student to perform a personal assessment of what went well and the aspects that could be future improvement areas as that person approaches future logistics network challenges. Students will share their papers in a conference and peers will have an opportunity to compare their learning achievement with others. I. Introduction A. Overview of Cincinnati Seasonings - provide a narrative about the company and its business goals and objectives. This information is based upon the user manual. B. The initial supply chain scenario- describe the supply chain as of Week Two when the simulation exercise began. This includes the starting parameters and network configuration. II. Accomplishments (these are the aspects reflecting your own contributions towards stabilizing and improving the supply chain) A. What went well - what aspects of the simulation results were favorable? These were your major strides...
