Supply chain management

The complex logistics systems where raw materials are converted into products or services and delivered to end users are called Supply Chains.

All managerial tasks aimed at ensuring efficient and accurate communication of materials and information between suppliers and customers across supply chains can be defined as Supply Chain Management. In this context, design, planning, operation, control and monitoring of all supply chain operations can be addressed.

"Excellence" in supply chain management processes and operational implementation is critical to the sustainable success of corporations in today's competitive conditions.

The main objectives for excellence in the supply chain can be listed as follows:

Increasing the value generated throughout the supply chain
Purchasing in a way to increase competitiveness
Organization of production and logistics processes
Ensuring coordination and synchronization to balance supply and demand
Continuous improvement of all supply chain processes
Measurement and monitoring of supply chain performance of institutions will be a guide for determining the activities that will provide advantage in competition.

Beyond the coordination to be provided by the Sales and Operations Planning (S & OP) process within the organization, radical advancements in the path of excellence can be achieved through Collaborative Estimation, Planning and Stock Renewal (CPFR) processes to be established among the supply chain members.
