Earlier today, Ramalinga Raju, Satyam’s founder and longtime chairman, admitted in a letter to the board that he had been cooking the books for years to make up for revenue and profit shortfalls. Read the details in this report by my BW colleague, Manjeet Kripalani. In his letter, Raju wrote that the cover-up finally got the best of him: “It was like riding a tiger, not knowing how to get off without being eaten.” This admission will have a crippling impact on Satyam. Its chances of getting new business are nil. Don’t expect its current customers to abandon the company overnight. That’s not easy in a tech services business where the operations of the client and service provider are so interwoven. On the other hand, it’s possible that the company may collapse financially, in which case clients will have no choice but to flee. Which brings us to a bigger shock: This betrayal of trust could have a major impact on the entire Indian tech services industry. The industry has spent 20 years building up credibility with Western clients, but this disaster will make many US and European clients rethink their reliance on Indian outsourcing...

...primary change to TechnoToday that has been outlined by management is a supplier global expansion project. Management has its eyes set on China as a new supply base. As with any project, the benefits may be obvious but undertaking the project also comes with its fair share of risks. Objectives and Resources In an effort to remain a leader in the global market, TechnoToday has made the decision to expand its supply base into China. Accomplishing this goal, however, can be a daunting task. A global supply chain needs to be agile and robust in order to meet the needs of multiple markets while simultaneously handling ever changing needs. A supply chain needs to be responsive to customer and organizational needs in terms of products as well as sourcing, manufacturing, transport, environmental and human resource relations. A global expansion project entails much more than simply setting up shop in another country, but luckily there are a number of tools available to help streamline the process. There are multiple resources that can be utilized to aid in the international transition. Historical data and records, for example, can be an excellent source of information. More and more organizations throughout many different markets realize the benefits of globalization and outsourcing with a good portion of them selecting China as their new territory. China is no stranger to incoming supply chains and outsourcing operations. A multitude of information can be collected from organizations that...

...Sainsbury's (A): Transforming the Supply Chain Introduction In 1869, John James and Mary Ann Sainsbury opened their first small dairy shop in London, England. Sainsbury's is now one of "the big 3" retailers in the UK grocery industry. This paper demonstrates the issues Sainsbury were involved in when implementing their new supply chain system; as the company received a lot of bad publicity and decreased their reputation. The document covers as to "what went wrong and why" and "what can be learned" from a Sainsbury directors perspective. Sainsbury and the market competition Sainsbury is committed to the quality of service of its label; because of this the competition of their rivals - Tesco, ASDA, etc - are all trying to gather the highest percentage of market share. In 1992, Sainsbury lost its cutting edge and the competition had started to make ground. In 2002 the competition in the UK grocery industry was altered. Over the years, Tesco has evolved to become the new clear cut market leader, with 26% market share. While Sainsbury's is second in the market share with 17%. In relation to supply chain systems, a benchmark study revealed a significant age difference in systems and warehousing infrastructure between Sainsbury's and its best-in-class competitors. The idea was to secure second place in the market share, breaking away from third place. Reasons for Sainsbury's new supply chain system As a result of the new study, the company came under immense pressure to...

Bozarth and Robert B. Handfield (2008) there are three simple reasons why one should be interested in operations and supply chain management: First, every organisation must make a product or provide a service that someone values. Second, most of these organisations function as part of larger supply chains. Third, they must carefully manage their operations and supply chains in order to prosper and survive. At first these arguments seem to be reasonable and clear but to fully understand them it is important to gain further insight into different concepts of supply chain management and to refer them to a company‘s every day work procedure. As part of the first-year Supply Chain Management course, we are supposed to conduct a project to improve our understanding of the different concepts...

...In order to response to the loss of market leader status in current competitive market environment, Sir Peter Davis, CEO of the Sainsbury's Group, decided to commence a project called "7-in-3" supply chain management project in late 2000. Company's Supply Chain Director, Martin White, summarized the 4 key principles of "7-in-3" supply chain strategy. Rises of automated fulfillment factories and primary consolidation centre. Due to Sainsbury's competitor - ASDA is moving forward aggressively, Sainsbury's top management noticed that ASDA has an information system that provided a more efficient supply chain. This system pleased customers, improving the ASDA's market share and increasing the company's profits. So that Sainsbury's decided to replace the current depots of company with automated factories and consolidation centre. This change will make the existing distribution centers into new automated distribution facilities. The improved efficiency from this modification is clear, it reduced shipping departure time, it can cover more stores, it works for 24 hours with a sortation system. This is a good example of saving the time and money. But there is one thing that top management did not consider well which is the cost of highly automated system actually requires more money to install and implement. Especially like Sainsbury's, it seeks to replace the old system with the new automation system. "End-to-end" plan to manage transportation. Sainsbury's seeks out a way to reduce...

...INTEGRATION OF SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT IN PUBLIC HEALTH: A case study of USAID SCMS Project, Nigeria. NAME: Ogbolu', B, Emeka Supply Chain Operation Department, John Snow Inc. Abuja, Nigeria ORGANIZATION: USAID Supply chain management system project, Nigeria PROBLEM OR ISSUE TO BE ADDRESSED “The more integration, the better the performance of the supply chain” (Bagchi et al., 2005). SCM concept is defined as “integration of business processes” (Cooper et al., 1997). According to Lee (2000) the integration of supply chain does not only reduce costs, but it also worth full for the company, and all its shareholders. The ideal condition is that the whole process across the supply chain is designed, managed and unified as a unit. However, different peoples have different opinions, some are disagree with that integration and close cooperation with suppliers and customers is the best resolution in every case. Bask and Juga (2001) think that we have to to reevaluate the dominant vision of integrated supply chain management and propose that polarization of strategies in supply chains can lead to separation and give rise to semi-integration rather than full integration. For others intensive integration might not be in every area of SCM but it can be in some special areas such as quality management and performance measurement while in other areas it is valuable to have limited integration. Bagchi and Skjoett Larsen 2002 suggest a contingency approach to supply chain integration...

...logistics (CIL) project to improve its supply chain management. Coors defined its supply chain as every activity involved in moving production from the supplier’s supplier to the customer’s customer. (Since by federal law, Coors cannot sell directly to customers. Coors customers are its distributors whose customers are retailers whose customers are consumers). Coor’s supply chain included the following processes: purchasing, research and development, engineering, brewing, conditioning, fermenting, packaging, warehouse, logistics and transportation. The CIL project was a cross-functional initiative to reengineer the business processes by which Coor’s logistics or supply chain was managed. The reengineering project improved supply chain processes and applied information technology to provide timely and accurate information to those involved in supply chain management. The project objective was to increase company profitability by reducing cycle times and operating costs and increasing customer (distributor) satisfaction. The software vendor used for this project was the German Company Systems Application & Products (SAP), which provided the financial and materials planning software modules. The SAP planning software became Coors’s load configurator software, which takes distributor demand forecasts and the production schedule and creates a shipping schedule for the following week. The following major supply chain problems were corrected by this CIL project: -...
