Week 11 in Digitalization Class
On 5th of June, I did not have class n the morning session due to my beloved lecturer's neighbor passed away and he was needed to attend the funeral. However, I did have class on the afternoon lab session. During the class, I had learnt about Supply Chain Management (SCM) which is incredibly important in managing an establishment in digitalization. SCM can be separated into 2 types of models which are push and pull. Push model is the businesses that conducted by pushing product to customers. In other word, the products were produced in mass production to satisfy certain class and needs of customers. While pull model is the businesses that supplies products after receiving customer orders. In other word, the products were produced based on the customization of customers. So, these 2 models may face several problems in supply chain, but the 2 primaries sources of problems are uncertainties and the need to coordinate multiple activities, internal units and business partners. To overcome these problems, we could 4 methods which are Vertical Integration, Just-In-Time Inventory, Information Sharing and Vendor-Managed Inventory (VMI). The usage of IT will also support in Supply Chain Management by Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), Extranet and Portals and Exchanges.
