OVERVIEW OF SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT Prior to the 1980s, business firms were using terms such as, “logistics”, and “operations management” instead of supply Chain Management. The term was coined by a British logistician and consultant by the name of, Keith Oliver in the 1980s.
OVERVIEW OF SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT The term was first used in public in an interview with Arnold Kransdorff of the Financial Times on 4 June 1982 The term Supply Chain Management came into widespread use in the 1990s
OVERVIEW OF SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT Continuous evolution of the supply chain and of the techniques to manage it effectively were motivated by the following: Fierce competition in today’s global markets, Introduction of products with shorter life cycles
OVERVIEW OF SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT The heightened expectations of customers, New rules of competition and the downward pressure on prices, Continuing advances in communications and transportation technologies (e.g., mobile communication, Internet, and overnight delivery),
OVERVIEW OF SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT Supply chain management builds upon the concept of logistics and seeks to achieve linkage and coordination between the processes of other entities in the pipeline ( suppliers and customers).
According to the council of Supply Chain Management Professionals ( CSCMP,2011) “Supply Chain Management encompasses the planning and management of all activities involved in sourcing, procurement ,and all logistics management activities Definition of Supply Chain Management
Definition of Logistics The CSCMPP also define Logistics – “The part of supply chain management that plans ,implements, and controls the efficient ,effective forward and reverse flow and storage of goods ,services and related information between the point of origin and point of consumption in order to meet customers requirements...
Definition of Logistics Logistics management is an integrating function ,which coordinates and optimizes all logistics activities, as well as integrates logistics activities with other functions including marketing , sales, manufacturing ,finance, and information technology”
Comparison of logistics and supply chain management: Logistics typically refers to activities that occur within the boundaries of a single organization such as procurement, distribution, storage, and inventory management. Supply Chain Management (SCM) acknowledges all of traditional logistics and also includes activities such as marketing, new product development, finance, and customer service.
Comparison of logistics and supply chain management: BASIS FOR COMPARISON LOGISTICS SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT Objective Customer satisfaction; to ensure the six rights right product with the right quality In the right quantity at the right time in the right place at the right price to the ultimate customer) Competitive advantage How Many Organisations are involved One Multiple Evolution A long time ago Modern concept
Purpose of Logistics The purpose of a logistics system is to ensure the six rights: The right drugs and medical supplies in the right quantities in the right condition are delivered to the right place at the right time for the right price.
The logistics cycle Policy/ legal Frame work adaptability SERVING CUSTOMER PRODUCT SELECTION FORECASTING AND PROCUREMENT INVENTORY MANGEMENT Logistics management information system Organization and staffing, financing and budgeting, supervision evaluation
Major Activities of the Logistics Cycle Serving Customers : Everyone working in logistics must remember that their job is to select, procure, store, or distribute products to meet customer needs Product selection: In a health logistics system, a national formulary and therapeutics committee, pharmaceutical board, board of physicians, or other government-appointed group select products to meet the needs of patients.
Major Activities of the Logistics Cycle Quantification : After products are selected, managers must determine the quantity needed for each product, for a specific time period—this is called quantification. Quantification depends on accurate forecasting Procurement : Procurement plans are based on requirements estimates that are determined mathematically for each product.
Major Activities of the Logistics Cycle Inventory management : A program’s inventory control strategy specifies how much stock to store and where to store it. Enough stock should be available to meet customer needs until a new order is received; but not so much that stocks expire or are wasted or that you exceed storage capacity.
Major Activities of the Logistics Cycle Quality monitoring : Quality monitoring appears between each activity of the logistics cycle and ensures that the quality of all the activities in the cycle are monitored. Management Information Systems : Information drives the logistics cycle; without it, the logistics system cannot run smoothly. Managers gather information about each activity in the system and then analyze that information to make decisions.
Major Activities of the Logistics Cycle Organization and Staffing : A logistics system can only work when the staff are well-trained and operate in a supportive environment. They must have the right tools to do their jobs, whether they place orders, coordinate shipments, oversee deliveries, or keep a warehouse functioning effectively to ensure that the right product, in the right quantity, is shipped to the client.

Major Activities of the Logistics Cycle Supervision : If the logistics system is carefully watched, it will run smoothly and staff will anticipate any needed changes. The effective supervision of logistics activities minimizes problems and/or resolves them quickly before any one problem becomes a crisis.
Major Activities of the Logistics Cycle Budgeting : affects the product selection, quantity of products procured, amount of storage space available, transport, and number of staff working in logistics. To have the entire system operating effectively, logistics activities must be included in operational planning and receive sufficient funds.

Logistics management information system ( LMIS) The basic purpose of an LMIS is to collect and report information to other levels in the system in order to make decisions regarding the quantity and time to distribute drugs and medical supplies.
Essential logistics data STOCK ON HAND : quantity of usable stock at a particular level of the system at a particular point in time CONSUMPTION DATA : quantity of drugs dispensed to clients during a particular period of time DATA ON LOSSES AND ADJUSTMENTS : quantity of drugs no longer available for distribution, which have not been dispensed, but are damaged or expired are called losses and additions and subtractions to the available drug supply, which were not received through the normal mechanism of receipt are called adjustments. These are either transfers, drugs loaned to (-)/from (+) another facility, or drugs “found” (+) as a result of a previous miscount
