Information System Implementation in Supply Chain Management Initiative Case Study in XY Company
Abstract: Supply Chain
Management (SCM) has been recognized as foremost business strategy that can
improve business process, save costs, enhance company’s revenue. This strategy
application spans all range of businesses from manufacturing to service
company. In order to be successful, SCM requires full commitment from corporate
executive, supported by thorough strategic and tactical planning. In this
report, we audit current supply chain status of PT XY and aim to identify some
processes where ineffective operations are being carried in its supply chain
activities. The company currently struggles to hold their position in overseas
market from vicious competitors from China and Vietnam. Therefore, XY wants to
make better and more rapid supply chain decisions in response to volatile
customers demand and increasing supply costs. Based on the findings of XY
business situation, we recommend process improvements in supplier relationship,
product development, transport management, procurement activity and customer
relationship management, which will increase XY customer service level. We also
propose supply chain information system (SCIS) implementation in production
planning, inventory control and distribution which will improve XY supply chain
processes, support critical strategy decision and give significant advantages
over its competitors.
