To create a project on “ Choose Smartphone as a product and study it’s supply chain ”
firstly, we collected all the material and information via standard books and
internet. After collecting required material and information, we started our
project. Then we wrote a report and showed it to our course faculty and asked
for the necessary correction if required. Then we finalized the project report and
submitted to the course faculty.

Supply chain management is the way in which a company guarantees that workers’
rights and provisions are being met throughout the supply chain outlined above.
There are many different ways in which a company might set about achieving this. Most
companies rely on contracts or codes of conduct with their 1st tier suppliers which list
the provisions for the upholding of workers' rights. A 1st tier supplier is a company that
provides parts and materials directly to a manufacturer of goods e.g. directly to Apple.
1st tier suppliers are often those suppliers who assemble the final product. Often
companies will require 1st tier suppliers to ensure workers’ rights are guaranteed by the
suppliers supplying components to the assembly factory, thereby absolving the main
company of the responsibility.
However over the past ten years, companies have recognize that many workers’ rights
violations occur further down their supply chains and therefore have extended
monitoring and auditing processes to include some of those suppliers. It should be
noted this is not done by all companies.
For all companies producing physical goods Ethical Consumer expects it to have a supply
chain management policy. We then rate each company against a set of criteria. These
criteria assess its policies as well as how it implements its auditing strategy, what
stakeholders it works with to verify labours standards and how it addresses difficult
issues such as illegal freedom of association.
Ethical Consumer’s supply chain management policy rating is broken up into four
parts:
supply chain policy: this looks at whether its policies require suppliers to guarantee the
following workers' rights: prohibition of child and forced labours; respect for freedom of
association; employment free from discrimination; and restriction on working hours and
payment of a living wage.
stakeholder engagement: this asks whether a company has an adequate system in place
for complaints; whether it works with NGOs and other independent parties for
verification of labour standards; and whether it is a member of a multi-stakeholder
initiative which focuses on workers' rights.
auditing and reporting: we want to know whether the company has an auditing plan
which covers its whole supply chain including some depth and does the company
publicly report its findings from its audits.
difficult issues: finally we look at whether a company acknowledges and systematically
addresses difficult issues within supply chains, for example how does it address the issue
of freedom of association in countries where unionisation is illegal?
Supply chain management is the handling of the entire process of turning raw materials
into a final product. Without the supply chain, we would not have access to food and
health products, or the items that allow us to work, travel and entertain ourselves. Supply
chain management involves a network of suppliers connected via a centralized
management process. Each supplier acts as a link that moves a product along a chain of
production, from raw material suppliers to manufacturers to retailers.
In the past, the supply chain management beginning-to-end model was mostly rigid —
every link in the chain was touched in consecutive order to get a product from raw
materials to the consumer. But lessons from the recent disruptions highlight the
importance of flexibility in the supply chain management process.
