1

What is OSCM

(operations and supply chain management)- the design, operation, and improvement of the systems that create and deliver the firms primary products and services

New cards
2

what does OSCM do

concerned with the management of the entire product production or service delivery system

New cards
3

OSCM processes

planning, sourcing, making, delivering, returning

New cards
4

planning

processes needed to operate an existing supply chain strategically

New cards
5

sourcing

selection of suppliers that will deliver the goods and services needed to create the firm's product. a set of pricing, delivery, payments, and partner relationship metrics needed

New cards
6

making

New cards
12

benchmarking

a process in which one company studies the processes of another company to identify best practices

New cards
13

why is benchmarking important

from an OSCM perspective, the relative cost of providing a good service is closely related to earnings growth

New cards
14

evolution of OSCM

  • JIT inventory

  • Lean: eliminate waste (opposite of TQM)

  • business process reengineering- six sigma (dpmo)

  • e-commerce

  • business analytics

New cards
15

big issues with supply chain today

  • how do you optimize the network

  • management of global supply chain since the pandemic

New cards
16

New cards
17

shareholders

individuals or companies that legally own one or more shares of stock in the company

New cards
18

stakeholders

individuals or organizations who are directly or indirectly influences by the actions of the firm

New cards
19

triple bottom line

New cards
21

straddling

seeking to match a successful competitor by adding features, services, or technology to existing activities (often a risky strategy)

New cards
22

diagrams that show how a company's strategy is delivered through a set of supporting activities

New cards
23

supply chain risk

the likelihood of a disruption that would impact the ability of a company to continuously supply products or services

New cards
24

supply coordinated risks are associated with

day to day management of the supply chain

New cards
25

disruption risks are

caused by natural or manmade disasters

New cards
26

risk management framework

  1. identify the sources of potential disruption

    • highly situation-dependent

    • focus should be on highly unlikely events

  2. assess the potential impact of the risk

    • goal is to quantify the probability and impact

  3. develop plans to mitigate the risk

    • detailed strategy for minimizing the impact of the risk

New cards
27

supply chain risk matrix

different supply chain strategies are exposed to specific types of risk- the supply chain risk matrix shows the level and type of risk for various strategies

New cards
28

productivity

a common measure of how well resources are used = outputs/inputs relative metric

New cards
29

decoupling points

when inventory is positioned in the supply chain to allow processes or entities to operate independently-- forecasts of demand at these decoupling points allow inventory to be set to the proper level

New cards
30

types of forecasting

  • qualitative

  • quantitative

    • time series analysis

    • causal relationships

    • simulation

New cards
31

time series analysis

based on the idea that data relating to past demand can be used to predict future demand (using the past to predict the future)

New cards
32

short term forecasting

less than three months, used mainly for tactical decisions (ex. replenishing inventory)

New cards
33

medium term forecasting

three months to two years, used to develop a strategy which will be implemented over the next six to eighteen months

New cards
34

long term forecasting

greater than two years, useful for detecting general trends and identifying major turning points

New cards
35

choosing an appropriate forecasting model depends upon

  • time horizon to forecast

  • data availability

  • accuracy required

  • size of forecasting budget

  • availability of qualified personnel other factors that may also be considered:

  • degree of flexibility

  • consequence of a bad forecast

New cards
36

simple moving average

forecast is based on average demand over the most recent periods, useful when demand is not growing or declining rapidly and no seasonality is present, removes some of the random fluctuations from the data, selecting the period length is important (last three months of demand and dividing by three for example, but does not consider seasonality)

New cards
37

weighted moving average

allows unequal weighting of prior time periods, the weights must be equal to one

New cards
38

time series elements

trend, seasonal, cyclical, autocorrelation, and random

New cards
39

forecast errors

the difference between forecast value and what actually occurred, all forecasts contain some level of error

New cards
40

sources of error

bias- when a consistent mistake is made random- errors that are not explained by the model being used

New cards
41

measure of error

  • mean absolute deviation (MAD)

  • mean absolute percent error (MAPE)

  • tracking signal

New cards
42

causal relationship forecasting

uses independent variables other than time to predict future demand (this independent variable must be a leading indicator)

New cards
43

many apparently causal relationships...

are actually just correlated events- care must be taken when selecting causal variables

New cards
44

qualitative forecasting techniques

market research, panel consensus, historical analogy, delphi method

New cards
45

capacity

the ability to hold, receive, store, or accommodate. in business, viewed as the amount of output that a system is capable of achieving over a specific period of time

New cards
46

strategic capacity planning

finding the overall capacity level of capital-intensive resources to best support the firm's long-term strategy

New cards
47

economies of scale

the idea that as a plant gets larger and volume increases, the average cost per unit drops

New cards
48

diseconomies of scale

at some point, the plant becomes too large and average cost per unit begins to increase

New cards
49

best operating level

the level of capacity for which process was designed and defined as a volume of output at which average unit cost is minimized

New cards
50

decision tree

a schematic model of the sequence of steps in a problem- including the conditions and consequences of each step

New cards
51

decision tee components

decision nodes- represented with squares decision events- represented with circles branches- links between nodes, show the choices available to the decision maker

  4. determine the early start/ finish and late start/ finish schedule

New cards
74

slack time

the time that an activity can be delayed without delaying the entire project-- the difference between the late and early start times of an activity

New cards
75

  • optimistic time

  • pessimistic time

  • most likely time

New cards
