 Tactical Issues

Concerns of a tactical nature include, among other things, policies regarding inventory,
procurement, processing, and logistics, as well as quality-related concerns. On the basis of the
strategy, they direct decisions pertaining to operational matters.

= para maiwasan ung mga ganitong kinds ng issues, important dapat na may tactical supply chain
planning. So para saan ba ung tactical supply chain? Saka ano ba ung mga sakop non. Sakop nya
ung pag decide sa flow ng mga materials pati pag inventory sa mga manufacturing sites saka
warehouse na pinag tatambakan ng mga supplies na needed ng bawat customers. Ginagamitan to
ng optimization models para ma sure na best ung decisions na magagawa ayon sa pinag usapan.

 Operating Issues

Production planning and control, as well as the scheduling of deliveries of goods and services,
are two of the most important operational issues in supply chain management. Some of the
make-or-buy decisions may be made here as well.

 PERFORMANCE MEASURES

It is extremely important to measure and monitor the performance of the supply chain,
particularly given the large number of companies that are involved. This goal can be
accomplished by making use of a variety of strategies that are at one's disposal.

= So ang pinaka purpose nito ay para ma evaluate ung effectiveness and efficiency of
organizational structures, processes and resources. Hindi lang sya for isahang company lang,
pambuong supply chain sya.

 Logistics

The movement of materials and information within an organization, as well as the incoming and
outgoing shipments of goods and materials, are both examples of what are referred to as
"logistics."

 MOVEMENT WITHIN A FACILITY

Movement of goods within a manufacturing facility is part of production control. Figure

12-5 shows the many steps where materials move within a manufacturing facility:

1. From incoming vehicles to receiving.

2. From receiving to storage.
3. From storage to the point of use (e.g., a work center).
4. From one work center to the next or to temporary storage.
5. From the last operation to final storage.
6. From storage to packaging/shipping.
7. From shipping to outgoing vehicles

 INCOMING AND OUTGOING SHIPMENTS

Monitoring incoming and outgoing shipments is a critical component of traffic management.

This function is in charge of shipping schedules and decisions, taking into account the costs of
various alternatives, government regulations, the organization's quantity and timing
requirements, and external factors such as potential shipping delays or disruptions, such as
highway construction or trucker strikes. Furthermore, this function considers the costs of various
alternatives.

 THE GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN

As a result of the lowering of trade barriers, an increasing number of businesses are expanding
their operations internationally. This opens up previously untapped markets for goods and
services and creates a ton of opportunities for the future. Additionally, it has led to an increase in
the number of competitors, and even businesses that only conduct their operations within a single
nation face increased competition from foreign firms.

= Ano nga ba ang global supply chain at papaano to nag wowork?

Network sya na binuo ng mga organization, suppliers, saka ng mga customers kaya sya tinawag
na global supply chain. Ung network na to includes all of the transactions na kelangan para sa
pag transformation ng mga raw materials into goods that can be sold. So ung networks na
bumubuo sa global supply chain hindi lang activities and people but also technology,
information, and resources.

 E-Commerce
The rapid increase in numbers of Internet-related activities has been caused by the commercial
growth of the Internet. Many of these activities have a direct impact on the supply chains of
organizations, even if those organizations do not themselves use the Internet. This is the case
even though many of these organizations are not users of the Internet.
= So what is the role of e-commerce in supply chain management? Binibigyan nito ng kakayanan
ung mga company na mag cut ng overall cost, improve data accuracy, streamline supply chain
services, binabawasan din nya ung oras sa pag gawa ng mga business cycles saka mas nag
proprovide sya ng better customer service.

 KEYS TO EFFECTIVE SUPPLY CHAINS

Successful supply chain management requires integration of all aspects of the supply chain:
suppliers, warehouses, factories, distributors, and retail outlets. This requires cooperation among
supply chain partners in planning, coordination of activities information sharing, which, in turn,
requires partners to agree on common goals (goal sharing).

 VALUE ANALYSIS

The term "value analysis" refers to the process of examining the function of the parts and
materials that have been purchased in an effort to either lower the cost of those items or improve
their overall performance.

Purpose = Ung main purpose ng value analysis is to improve efficiency by providing customers
ng pinaka mababang possible cost na aabutin. Nag dedevelop din sila ng optimal value chain na
nag proprovide ng magandang competitive advantage.

 Supplier Management
A strong supply chain requires every link to be as dependable and trustworthy as possible,
including the suppliers. The ability of suppliers to make timely deliveries of goods or services of
a high quality is just one of many ways in which they can contribute to the efficiency of
operations.

Madaming benefits ang effective supplier management, pinapataas nya ung level of production
ng mga goods and services, tapos pinapababa naman nya ung expenditures. Pinapataas din nito
ung cooperation within sa mga distributors na nag cocontribute sa success. Halimbawa, if buyers
manage the performance of their suppliers, they can lower the risk of disruptions occurring
within their own operations.

 SUPPLIER AUDITS

Periodic audits of suppliers are a way to stay up-to-date on their production (or service)
capabilities, problems with quality and delivery and how they were fixed, and how well they did
on other criteria.

= Ung purpose naman ng supplier audit is to is to identify any gaps in the supplier's quality
process, manufacturing process, engineering change process, and shipping process, binibigyan
nito ng access ung mga manufacturers na ma agapan ung mga possible na reasons na makapag
cause ng delays.

 SUPPLIER CERTIFICATION

Certification of a supplier typically signifies that the supplier offers acceptable quality, on-time
delivery, and the lowest price. Companies have developed a variety of criteria, formats, and
methods for certifying suppliers. So ung certification is nag seserve lang sya as evidence na ung
supplier is nag proproduce sya ng quality goods and nag sisilbi din tong vouch para sa ibang
possible na kukuha sakanila.

 SUPPLIER RELATIONSHIPS

When it comes down to it, productive relationships with suppliers are the responsibility of
purchasing. In many cases, the nature of the relationship between a buyer and a seller will
determine the duration of the contract. So bakit ba important na mag karoon ng good relationship
with your supplier? Kasi ung suppliers mo can help you save money and provide better customer
service. Kumbaga na miminimize nito ung problems with stock outages, shipping delays, and
product quality.

 SUPPLIER PARTNERSHIPS

The term "strategic partnership" refers to an alliance that benefits both parties. This method has
been used, for example, in the computer industry to help up-and-coming companies like Dell
Computers that lacked the capital to invest in computer design and manufacturing.

= So parang katulad nga ng sinabi ko sa supplier relationship, mahalaga na makapag establish ng

magandang relationship and partnership within sa supplier mo kasi in a way na may partnership
kayo, ang benefits na makukuha mo don is mag kakaroon kayo ng open communication and the
sharing of ideas between your company and its suppliers over time

 SUPPLIER PARTNERSHIPS CHARACTERISTICS:

1. Reduce the cost of making a purchase.
2. Reduce transportation costs.
3. Reduce production costs.
4. Improve product quality.
5. Improve product design.
6. Reduce time to market.
7. Improve customer satisfaction.
8. Reduce inventory costs.
9. Introduce new products or services.
