A supply chain transforms raw materials and components into a finished product that’s delivered to a customer. It is made up of a complex network of organizations and activities, such as raw materials suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, retailers and the customer. Supply chain management is the orchestration between these networks comprising procurement, management and storage of raw materials and manufacturing, as well as the moving, delivery, and storing of finished goods and after-market services to create maximum efficiency, lower cost and net value. Supply chains: From linear to network To understand the importance of supply chains management, it’s worth first thinking about the importance of a supply chain at its most basic level. Traditional supply chains follow a linear progression. The output of one step is typically the input of the next step. For instance, suppliers must send raw materials to the manufacturer before the products can be made. If there’s a problem at any step, the entire linear chain is disrupted. Today’s supply chains, however, are more complex than linear models —they’re sophisticated supply networks that are more flexible and efficient. This helps meet customer expectations for a wide selection of customized, sustainable products and fast deliveries that meet individuals’ specific needs.

READ MORE The future digital supply chain The supply chain is no longer just an efficient maker and mover of goods; it’s now required to be a principal driver of business growth. Resilience is also critical, as future supply chains must manage ongoing disruptions. Sustainability is vital, too, so that supply chains not only address the concerns of investors, board members and governments, but also make a positive contribution to society through achieving zero waste, building circular processes and building trust. Why? Disruption is the new reality. Technology is advancing. Customer demands are evolving. Complexity and uncertainty are increasing risk. Supply chain management is key to solving this conundrum—and it touches everyone, everywhere. Supply Chain & Operations Ready for a new approach to Supply Chain cyber-risk? We explain how CEOs and supply chain leaders can leverage digital capabilities to manage cybersecurity risk in new ways. READ MORE Intelligent supply chains Sustainability & trust Intelligent supply chains Being more efficient throughout the supply chain and delivering goods for customers needn't come at the expense of the planet or get in the way of good governance. On the contrary, in fact. Effective supply chain management can and should put sustainability at its core. It's not just the more responsible thing to do; it's what customers want. They also expect companies to protect people through enhanced human rights efforts. Accenture's Human Rights Due Diligence Tool helps companies identify and assess risks in sourcing and production, as well as visualise risks by country and site. Technologies like this, across all aspects of ESG, ensure that companies are held accountable. Companies can no longer fall back on the "we didn't know" defense, and should instead focus their attention in creating a business model that not only delivers products customers need, but produces them in the manner customers expect. Sustainability & trust Intelligent supply chains are built on digital technologies, including Cloud , data and artificial intelligence (AI). They enable companies to implement supply chain strategy and achieve three key outcomes: Operational resilience, which helps companies withstand disruptions Customer and employee relevance, which provides flexibility and agility to respond to changes in demand and personalization in a cost-effective way Business responsibility, which fosters sustainable practices enabling prosperity for society and the environment These outcomes are important to business, society and the planet. To achieve them, companies must build intelligent supply chains that bring humans and machines together. And this all starts with effective supply chain management. Reinventing supply chains with generative AI Generative AI is one of the biggest breakthroughs in AI’s history. Signifying a new era of enterprise intelligence, it holds out huge promise for supply chains in every industry. That’s because, combined with analytics capabilities, it puts new kinds of hyper-intelligence into the hands of supply chain professionals, dramatically amplifying what they can achieve. As humans working with generative AI “colleagues” become the norm, every role in every supply chain has the potential to be transformed. From advising on vendor selection to introducing new speed and creativity to product design, and from accelerating onboarding of supply chain partners to transforming customer service interactions and introducing new sustainability to E2E operations, one thing is clear: generative AI ‘s arrival means supply chains will never be the same again. To secure future competitive advantage, now is the time for supply chain leaders to understand and begin to adopt this breakthrough technology. How Generative AI will reinvent Supply Chains How Generative AI will reinvent Sourcing and Procurement Generative AI: Why smarter supply chains are here Supply Chain & Operations Supply chain in the age of generative AI Turning promise into performance LEARN MORE The basic components of supply chain management Supply chains vary by company and industry. But at their core, they comprise several interdependent disciplines and, at a high level, commonly contain seven basic components: Engineering: Creating a new product that customers will want Planning: Anticipating and optimizing events through visibility within every step of the supply chain Sourcing and Procurement: Identifying and buying the components that make up a product, with the aim of ensuring quality and reliability at the lowest cost Inbound Logistics: Handling the transportation of goods into a business Manufacturing: Making enough products to satisfy demand and maintain target inventory levels Fulfillment and Delivery: Getting a product to the customer as quickly and economically as possible Service Management: Maintaining or fixing a product to ensure customer satisfaction From Engineering to Service Management, each area’s output is the input to the next—each link relies on the others to form a strong supply chain. For example, Sales and Operations Planning can provide real-time sales results to inform product innovation that drives repeat business. In addition, Procurement must source and buy the right parts and get them to the right plant in time to meet production schedules. And products must be made and shipped on time to ensure that customers get what they want, when they were promised. Intelligent supply networks are similar, but they have one key difference: They leverage digital tools and technologies to optimize the supply chain and provide visibility across the ecosystem to deliver deeper insights and greater value, more quickly. This shift has a knock-on impact on the seven core components of supply chain management, and the skills that each requires.
