About "Supply Chain Management: Opportunities & Challenges" topic:
Supply chain management process which has planning, implementing, and controlling the operations of the supply chain as efficiently as possible. Supply Chain Management which spans all the movement and storage of raw materials, work-in-process inventory, and semi-finished/finished goods from point-of-origin to point-of-consumption. But in the global meltdown like this we are faced with the challenge of reducing inventory and associated costs across the supply chain.
So the above issue requires excellent planning and usage of tools that can help simulate the scenarios and decide optimum inventory levels, demand forecasting, and perturbations in the manufacturing line. All these need to be achieved with a set of constraints in which the manufacturing plant operates. So what are some of the challenges and opportunities in the area of supply chain management. Let us discuss on this topic guys.

RFID is merely a technology which aims primarily to track consignment along the logistics channel. It makes cross docking and inter depot transfers much more easier. Its just a lubricant to smoothen the supply chain process a bit; but not a panacea.

1. Selfishness In today’s world, it is not about your organization versus your competitor’s organization. It is your supply chain versus your competitor’s supply chain. Therefore, it’s essential to eliminate the boundaries between organizations and make sure you and your supply chain partners are really working as one to increase customer satisfaction and market segment. Share information and assure that all links have a common, wholelistic view of the entire supply chain. 2. Short Sightedness The traditional approach of supplier and customer revolving doors is counter productive. Instead, look at the big picture and establish a strategic plan for supply chain evolution so that you are maki...

China And Pakistan Supply Indian Maoists January 11, 2012: Even as China continues to harass India on security and diplomat issues, the Indian intelligence agencies have come up with far more disturbing reports which have huge implications for India’s national security. These classified reports reveal that Maoist leaders have been secretly visiting China’s Yunan province for arms training and China has set up a weapon manufacturing facility in Myanmar’s Kachin province. The Kachin factory produces near-exact replicas of AK 47 rifles which are supplied to the Maoists. The Indian government has long been aware that the Maoists are equipped with sophisticated weaponry, and now the source is known. Even more dangerous is the growing proximity of the Maoists with Pakistan based Islamic terror group Lashkar-i-Taiba and terrorist leader Dawood Ibrahim. The Indian Maoists have also cooperated with Islamic terrorist run, drug operations. Several Indian states report that Maoists are...
