Innovation
•
Innovation is the development of new customer value through
solutions that meet new needs, unarticulated needs, or old
customer and market needs in new ways.
•
This is accomplished through different or more effective
products, processes, services, technologies, or ideas that are
readily available to markets, governments, and society.
•
Innovation is not equal to Invention or Improvement.

In short “doing

things differently”
Supply Chain Management
•
Supply chain management spans all movement and storage of raw
materials, work-in-process inventory, and finished goods from point of
origin to point of consumption.
•
Another definition is provided by the APICS Dictionary when it defines
SCM as the "design, planning, execution, control, and monitoring of
supply chain activities with the objective of creating net value, building
a competitive infrastructure, leveraging worldwide logistics,
synchronizing supply with demand and measuring performance
globally."

The future of Supply Chain
Technology
•
We as a supply chain industry haven’t used the available technology to the full extent.
Collaboration
•
The supply of goods moves from one network to another network therefore collaboration
amongst these networks is very important. i.e. Suppliers and their suppliers, customers and
their customers (if applicable).
•
Collaboration with government bodies, regional legal and tax compliance, association and
international norms and regulations are some of the areas also calls for the collaboration.
Planning and Strategic alignment
•
Improve Customers performance
•
From suppliers order point to customers demand point
