Case Study: Supply Chain Management
The structure and implementation of supply chains and the ability to extend the company's boundaries in order to coordinate logistics functions are essential components of competitiveness today. Only through comprehensive cooperation a total optimization of the transcorporate network of companies can be achieved. This means that the kinds of business relationships that exist between the individual members of the supply chain form the basis for effective and efficient supply chain management. Therefore, the first task of any SCM project must be to analyze and position the business relationships in order to work out a sound basis for future decisions on how to proceed and to demonstrate specific improvement potential.
