Edward N Beaver wrote a new post on the site Internet Enabled Supply Chain 6 years, 7 months ago
Think for 100 seconds, and summarize the key things that you learned in the class in Week 1
Intro to course
What is the Supply Chain? Lecture
-
My main takeaway from the first class is that supply chains exists in every company, big or small. Additionally that all supply chain are generally similar. they all move from sourcing, to a process, and then to delivery to the customer. Depending on the company each of these steps can be extensive, and can vary from one company to the other., All companies should have an idea of what their supply chain is, and actively be trying to manage it to reduce the total costs of getting a product to the customer.
-
Essentially, I learned that we are at the forefront of technology innovation so we need to learn how to use it effectively. Cutting edge technology can greatly help a lot of aspects of SC and proper implementation of tools needs to happen in order to keep up with the industry. The supply chain is complex, lengthy, and is an integral part of every company so we need to become familiar with it.
-
The key points that I learned in our first week of class are:
1. A supply chain is a physical flow of materials but also a flow of information and finances.
2. The goal of supply chain management is to produce and distribute goods at right quantities, right location, and right time and minimize system wide costs while satisfying goals and requirements.
3. A Need for global collaboration is important because global supply chain can transform a company.
-
The key points I took away from the first class are:
– There is a large degree of complexity (such as sourcing, manufacturing, shipping, assembly, etc) that goes into putting a product on store shelves than I originally considered.
– Supply chain is a vital business process for most organizations. If an organization can develop an efficient, streamlined supply chain they can garner huge business value through lower costs (i.e lowering inventory holding costs), and potentially a competitive advantage (i.e Amazon’s two day shipping program). -
Key points that I have learned from last class would be the relevance of this course and how it will help me advance in my professional career. For example, I will learn the in’s and out’s of how IT pushes a Supply Chain forward and how innovation is key for an efficient supply chain. Also, we went over the different components of a supply chain from warehouses & distribution centers to manufacturer & government regulator. I think a key statement that was mentioned in class would be “to produce and distribute merchandise at right quantities, to the right location, and at the right time.” This is a difficult logistics function and the resources plus technology of IT help accomplish this feat. Lastly, how supply chain decisions and planning are long-term and we must take into account any risks as a business we could face.
-
The key things I learned in the first week of class are:
– One of the goals of supply chain management is to produce and distribute products at the right amount, to the right locations at the right time. This is to ensure an efficient flow of operations/processes to suppliers, manufacturers, warehouses, etc.
– Supply chain is a network and movement of products and services from suppliers to consumers. Supply chain consists of various things including suppliers, warehouses, retail outlets, raw materials, transportation, etc. -
The key takeaways I learned in the first week of class are:
– The supply chain is a complex system that involves many different processes in order to make a final product.
– Analyzing data is essential in ensuring that that the supply chain is able to meet demand and develop products at minimal cost.
– The use of technology can be used in improving the supply chain. -
I learned that how complex supply chains are and how every piece of it must work together seamlessly from beginning to end. Technology, manufacturing, logistics, and distribution channels are all crucial parts of the supply chain. Technology plays a huge role in optimizing the supply chain.
-
My key takeaways from the first class are:
– There are a lot of different, moving parts of the supply chain.
– Even a simple product will often have required a long, complex process that gets it from the initial suppliers to the customer.
– IT plays an important role in the supply chain.
– Companies are constantly innovating to improve their processes and reduce costs; effective technology and an efficient supply chain are important to achieving that goal. -
The things I learned from the first week of class are as follows
1. The vast complexity of all the parts and their logistics into making a product
2. The importance of supply chain and the value it adds to products
3. Some of the difficulties in managing a supply chian -
Many of my takeaways from the first class include points previously mentioned. (the complexity of supply chains and logistics, IT’s important role in the process and ensuring accuracy of quantity to meet demand).
However, I think it is also interesting to consider how each supply chain, factory, manufacturer, warehouse etc. has their own supply chain and processes. When you begin to consider these additional layers of moving parts, you can quickly grasp the complexity of supply chains and logistics.
-
As other students have commented, the largest takeaway I got from the first class was the complexity of supply chains and how information technology is heavily involved in that process. The demonstration of the Xbox supply chain from class really showed how complex a supply chain can be to reach one final product. It also became clear how difficult it may be to effectively manage a supply chain, especially with deadlines.
-
One of the most important key things that I learned in our first class was that a supply chain is a complex network of relationships that organizations maintain with trading partners to source, manufacture, and deliver their products. The supply chain deals with every step in a products life cycle from acquiring the raw materials for the product to be made, to getting the product in the customer’s hand. Another important thing I learned was that information technology is one of the many important factors driving supply chains today. Through the use of information technology, things such communication between the different key entities involved in a company’s supply chain becomes faster and more effective.
-
From the class, I learned
1. The IT has the close tie with supply chain management. The advance data system could help managing warehouse, choosing efficient transportation and reducing the cycle time.
2. Supply chain management always improves over time. Supply chain management shift from cross-functional integration to cross-enterprise means the evolution of supply chain management is with globalization. The supply chain focus on the customer’s demand other than supply. For example, the supply chain focus on the customer service -
The largest takeaway I got from the first class was the complexity of supply chain and how IT is interrelated. It was interesting to understand that all products and services are part of a supply chain system in one way or another. Managing supply chains can be challenging as there are so many factors involved, but if done effectively a company can achieve great business value. The Xbox example provided a clear understanding of the extensive steps within supply chains.
-
The key points from the first class that I found the most interesting, were the complicated processes of a supply chain to produce a single product and how businesses handle these processes. Businesses must first make many large decisions before beginning to produce a product or offer a service. They must strategically choose the optimal locations and capabilities for their facilities that will be part of the supply chain. After location has been established, they must efficiently decide which products are to be made and stored at each location. Then once everything else has been completed, IT cab be brought in to optimize the processes. Understanding these processes, give you a better view of how a product, such as a cellphone, must go through complicated steps to make it to the consumer.
-
As previously mentioned, the primary takeaway from the first lecture is that supply chain is composed of many complex moving pieces. I quickly discovered that thinking about supply chain components requires more than just surface level analysis to break down the activities being performed and materials being sourced. Based on my experiences working for an e-commerce website, I primarily considered supply chain to be sourcing inventory and logistics/operations management, but the first lecture has opened my thinking to include all of the data inputs and components of supply chain related to information technology, especially in relation to my current role. I’m genuinely looking forward to learning more about supply chains from an IT perspective.
-
The key things I learned during the first class are:
1) MIS is critical to success in supply chain management and vice versa. The class consists of students with diverse majors, but many SCM students desiring to learn a bit about MIS and MIS students desiring to learn a bit about SCM.
2) IT’s role in SCM involves the flow of information (which is critical), financial/payment, and physical. It involves hardware, networking, communications, software/applications, and processes.
3) SCM has shifted from cross-functional integration to cross enterprise, from physical efficiency to market mediation, and from supply focus to demand focus. -
The first class was simply an introduction to supply chain management, as a whole. Essentially supply chain is so important because a lot of profit is made through savings and not just incoming revenue. By decreasing the expenses of operations and streamlining them it saves unnecessary costs. Supply chain is becoming much more prevalent in today’s society because technology is allowing more increase communication and a better and faster way to get from raw material to product to the consumer. With the ongoing expansion of technology supply chain will only get more important.
-
The points that I found significant in the first class include the complexity in the supply chain and importance of information tech. The Xbox example really put things into perspective. Every little detail contributes to the smooth flow of production. Further, I learned how the use of information technology is very important in tracking and maintaining all aspects of production. Tracking everything helps a business where to fix inefficiencies, ultimately helping to achieve maximum profits This was the main reason I took the course. Being a supply chain major and MIS minor, I find the information learned to be critical for a successful career. Knowing how to mend both concepts is vital.
-
Key things I learned:
1. Supply chain is crucial for businesses. It is very complex and there are many parts, such as, sourcing, procurement, manufacturing, shipment, and transportation.
2. Many of a businesses cost savings come through making their supply chain more efficient.
3. SCM follows a cross enterprise integration.
4. The XBox example we used in class helped me better understand SCM as well.
5. SCM deals with all the steps of a products life cycle.
-
Key points I learned from the first week of class are:
— a supply chain isn’t necessarily the flow of materials from place to place, it can also be the financial flow or the flow of information.
— There are a series of complex decisions to make about the structure of the supply chain and each stage’s process; such as locations, products, transportation, and information.
— More and more companies are going global. Their supply chains need to be global as well. -
A key takeaway from Week 1’s class if definitely realizing the interconnectivity and complexity of the supply chain within the XBOX example. The sourcing of all materials for manufacturing a single XBOX system is mind-blowing. This example widened my perspective on the importance of every player within a single supply chain and how efficiency is crucial. In order to make the process more efficient, IT plays a huge part with the processing and transfer of product, information and finances.
-
Key points I learned in week 1:
I learned that supply chain is complex and necessary in various parts of a business. Before this lecture I had no idea that supply chain includes various activities like the flow transactions and the data associated.
I also learned about how vital supply chain is to an organization’s success. By developing a successful supply chain, a company can execute a strategy that lowers costs and is just overall more efficient for the business. Last, week 1 really showed me how crucial IT is throughout supply chain. -
The key points i learned from week 1:
I learned that all products and businesses deal with supply chains to efficiently and effectively sell and distribute there products.
I also learned that the goal for all businesses is to have the lowest total cost with everything working without any flaws.
I also learned that if one step in the chain gets interrupted then all the the steps will get interrupted causing the final step in the supply chain to be off. This could cause a loss of revenue to the business. -
Week 1 Key Takeaways:
1. SC or a “logistics network”, consists of warehouses, transportation, suppliers, and customers that all come together through the flow of materials, cash, and information. This connection starts at the beginning of production and follows the product all the way until it meets its end consumer.
2. SCM goals are to maximize profits, manage appropriate inventory levels, and minimize costs while supporting strategic business objectives and keeping long-term effects and market risks in mind. -
– There are many players involved in the process of producing and transporting the products we use on a daily-basis. Common goods go through many, many steps from raw material to finished product and we, as customers, usually ignore the complexity of getting these products to the shelves of local stores.
– Technological advancements are improving the flow of information in supply chain — it is better and faster than ever before. With globalization, the supply chains of simple products have gotten more and more complex, as products receive parts from all over the world. IT is fundamental in keeping these supply chain running smoothly. -
Key Points of Week 1:
-Supply chain is not simply one process line that goes from Point A to Point B. It can be multiple processes that all lead to one small product completion.
-Every detail that gets put towards that final product has its own individual supply chains. The complexity is incomparable.
-Things you never even thought about can have supply chains.
-I’m looking forward to learning how IT is used to organize, track, maintain and ultimately make supply chains more efficient -
Things that I learned in the class in Week 1:
-The relation between managing information systems and supply chains, and how MIS could maximize the efficiency of the supply chains process.
-The Xbox example gave me a clear understanding of the production line and how it connects different functionaries.
-The visualization benefit that MIS brings to supply chain, which improves the communication and management process. -
Week 1 Key Analysis
1. Supply chain management is complex, but efficient management makes the business much more profitable and must be secured for the long run.
2. All components of any complex device we see in our modern world is made from many supply chains to bring each material from the earth into the finished product.
3. Main supply chain goals include maximizing profits (through maximum efficiency), managing inventory levels (which is required to maximize profit, and being able to respond to changes in the market without losing efficiency. -
The main takeaways of Week 1 of class:
1. Supply chain is relatively connected with the use of IT as it drives to reduce cost and encourage innovations in the new market.
2. The process of supply chain is very crucial as it ensures the perfect flow of material in businesses. For example, a person goes to the grocery store to get milk. Without proper supply chain, it is impossible for the milk factory to deliver their product to the grocery stores. Therefore, supply chain helps customer to achieve their wants and needs.
3. The main factors that drives supply chain are global suppliers, customers and competition. -
Main Take Aways of Week 1
– Supply chain is an integral, complex part of a business and includes everything from the final products shipment to vendor relationship with the most basic of inputs.
– IT is an incredible important tool used to facilitated this complicated network of relationship. Uses include, quality control, notifying customers, ensuring deliverance, and payment processing. -
For the first week class, I understand what is SCM and the relationship between IT and SCM.
The goal of SCM is to produce and distribute products/services at right quantities, to the right location at the right time and reduce system-wide costs. IT is gathering data and help the to make right decisions and improve the efficiency of SCM.
Otherwise, I learned the factors driving supply chain is to shorten products cycles, customizd products, and efficient collaboration. -
Week 1 takeaways:
Supply chain is a very complex process that needs to stay up to date with the times as technology advances. It is comprised of many parts that are not necessarily connected to each other but are required to complete the process of whatever is being done. We also learned how MIS is integral to keeping the system up to date. We went over an example using the XBOX. This was how we were shown how much actually goes into completing a product. Lastly, we were shown that we have to somehow maximize profit without sacrificing efficiency.
-
Key takeaways:
In our first class, after doing quick introductions, we began to discuss what the “supply chain” is and its relationship with IT.
The supply chain is the entire process from procurement to manufacturing to the eventual delivery of a product, and IT can complement and make the process more efficient in many ways.
-
My main takeaway from this week is that every company has some form of Supply Chain, and that, if structured correctly, can produce a real competitive advantage for a company. IT has a possible role in mitigating SC risk and enhancing SC operations to produce such an advantage for a company. Supply chains typically start at raw material sourcing, and end at delivery to the consumer at retail price.
-
The first week of class showed me how complicated the process really is from the beginning to the end of a product’s life. IT’s role is quite important and helps solve the complexity of the entire supply chain process. Creating long-lasting products is key for a company, as the process to set up the supply chain is expensive and time consuming.
-
In the first week of class we essentially covered what Supply Chain means, and how important is it to the daily operations of a business. Every business relies on an effective and efficient supply chain in order meet the demand for its products. By breaking down the supply chain from start to finish using the XBox example we saw just how detailed it is and how complex all the steps are that make up the supply chain. Seeing it through this example demonstrated in a clear way how important it is for a business to get it right because having to make a change to a company’s supply chain is both expensive and incredibly difficult.
-
Some key takeaways I learned from the first class:
– The intensity of the importance of supply chain in connection with information technology – IT aids the supply chain, especially global supply chain, for data storage allowing faster and more efficient flow of information through a supply chain
– Supply chain is present in every single product/company and people are affected through it every day, whether being a simply customer purchasing something, or working through a supply chain for a company.
– Supply chain involved multiple personnel from manufacturers, distributors, retailers, etc., all the way to consumers, IT and MIS professionals, and anyone else involved in maximizing a supply chain through financials, as well as consumers actually purchasing and utilizing the ultimate product. -
In the first week of class, we learned about supply chain and what it consists of. There are a lot of moving parts in a supply chain from the sourcing of raw material to the finished product delivered to the retailer or consumer. There is a flow of information and a financial flow in each step. Additionally, IT is very important in the supply chain because managers and IT will continuously collaborate on various things such as innovation, visibility, and virtual sourcing.
-
The main thing I took away from the first class was how far out the supply chain can stretch. Even a product with what would seem like a few moving parts can have sources from hundreds of different supply chains. Simple plastic pellets for an induction molding process can have multiple sources from raw material to processing to packaging and final to the end consumer, which will use many other supply chains in order have all the materials needed to produce its goods.
-
The key topics I learned during the first class are:
– Supply chain does not just include materials/goods but also includes flow of information (dates/inventory levels to resupply/etc.) and financing (cash/credit owed to suppliers)
– Supply chain continuously gets cheaper with the increase in globalization. There are attempts to cut costs every year. -
The main points that I learned during our first week are:
1. A supply chain is the movement of materials, information, and money with the goal of producing and distributing goods/services at right quantities, location, and time.
2. The advancement and adoption of new technologies is quickly changing and making more efficient the management of complicated supply chains.
-
The key points learned through Week 1:
1. Supply chain is in almost every company and it describes the network of raw materials, processing, transportation, money transactions and many more.
2. As technology progresses, new applications are invented to make this big, complicated process more simple. -
One of the main things I took away from the first week of class is how I now think of a supply chain and all of it’s pieces. I always knew a supply chain consisted pieces that all come together to make a product ready for sale but after the demonstration by Professor Beaver, I see that one piece in the supply chain is detrimental to the overall success of the chain and the product. Also, a supply chain doesn’t just consist of the physical flow of materials but also the financial flow though the chain and the flow of information. The last takeaway from week 1 I found important was that it isn’t just about the bottom line for a company and it’s supply chain but its important for the supply chain design must match the business’ objectives even if it costs more.
-
– Supply chains are intricate systems with moving parts we do not see as consumers
– Information systems are crucial to supply chains because they allow just in time delivery to meet consumer demands
– Those who specialize in information systems must have knowledge of supply chains and those who specialize in supply chains must learn information systems -
Key takeaways:
-Supply chain is much more complicated than it seems. All the different layers of supply chain from manufacturing, transportation, and sourcing produces complexity for organizations.
-Understanding utility for supply chains can benefit companies. Providing the right product at the right time and place can provide efficiency.
-
The main points I learned from week 1 are that supply chain has a place in just about every company in the world that sells something and that the technologies in supply chain are constantly changing. I learned that each and every part of the supply chain relies on one another, so having the technology that can handle every part of the supply chain and work together is greatly beneficial.
-
The supply chain is one of the most important parts of the business, it carries money, information, and physical products through the whole chain. Company control their cost and increase their revenue by having a good supply chain management. The supply chain is meant to provide the right time, right place, right numbers of the products for the company to sell to customers and minimizing the cost while generating the largest benefit for the company. Knowing how to manage a supply chain can go a long way for the company.
-
My main takeaway from week one is how significant the supply chain is in every company and industry. In order to operate efficiently and keep costs down, companies always need to be investing in their supply chain whether it’s in new technology, communication strategies, or optimizing their existing infrastructure.
-
Week 1 stressed the importance of supply chain and how complex it can be. Supply chain includes everything from the physical flow of goods to the flow of information. Improvements to supply chain go directly to the bottom line, whereas improvements to sales need to be increased significantly more to receive the same impact on the bottom line.

My name is Ethan Mandel. I am a Senior at Temple majoring in Risk Management with a minor in MIS.
Currently, I work in a restaurant year-round but last summer I had a summer internship Maiden Re, a large reinsurance carrier, in Mt. Laurel. Before that I had a yearlong internship with the Risk Management Association in Philadelphia.
Interning at Maiden Re gave me exposure to the supply chain of selling reinsurance products. Reinsurance is insurance for insurance companies – so sometimes a regular insurer will need some protection against a risky policy or client. They will contact an insurance broker who will go out and ‘shop’ for different reinsurance policies that best suit the needs of the primary insurance carrier. Eventually, Maiden would underwrite a particular primary and send a quote to the broker, who will either approve or reject it. When the broker and primary agree on the reinsurance policy, a legal binder is sent and signed by all parties, assuring reinsurance for a particular client.
