JOB DESCRIPTION
A supply chain is the network of suppliers, distributors, service providers and sub-contractors a company uses to source materials, components, supplies and services it needs to run its manufacturing operations. Supply chain managers plan, manage and coordinate all activities related to the sourcing and procurement of these supplies, according to the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals. A supply chain manager must ensure that supplies are available when they are needed to meet changing levels of demand for a company’s products.
ROLES OF SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGER
Supplier Performance
• Supply chain managers monitor supply chain employee performance. They establish metrics to assess factors such as quality, cost and delivery performance. To enforce standards, they may operate a system of bonuses or penalties related to the agreed level of performance. Managers also collaborate with members of the supply chain to find ways of improving efficiency or reducing costs.
Communication
• To ensure that supply chain members can respond quickly when market conditions change, managers must develop effective communication processes. They work closely with technical specialists to integrate the diverse networks and communication systems that different members of the supply chain use. Providing supply chain members with essential market and production information helps them plan their own production schedules and investment programs.
Relationships
• Supply chain managers aim to build mutually beneficial relationships with suppliers so that the entire supply chain works in a cooperative way. Instead of constantly changing suppliers to find the lowest prices, supply chain managers build longer-term relationships with suppliers that offer quality, value, a willingness to collaborate and the flexibility to meet changing supply requirements.
• Effective selection and management of suppliers support lean manufacturing processes.
• Efficient transportation & distribution practices bolster marketing campaigns.
• Timely customer communication and technology-enabled visibility allows companies to monitor product flows and collaboratively respond to potential delivery problems.
