    Management (continued)
    Cost savings and better coordination of resources are reasons to employ Supply Chain Management
    §Reduced Bullwhip Effect

    •SCM reduces safety stocks and costs due to coordinated planning and better sharing of information

    •Origins of Supply Chain Management  (continued)
    •Origins of Supply Chain Management
    1950s-1960s
      U.S. manufacturers focused on mass production techniques as their principal cost reduction and productivity improvement strategies
    1960s-1970s
      Introduction of new computer technologies lead to development of Materials Requirements Planning (MRP) and Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRPII) to coordinate inventory management and improve internal communication
    •Origins of Supply Chain Management (continued)
    1980s-1990s
      Intense global competition led U.S. manufacturers to adopt:
    §Supply Chain Management (SCM)
    §Just-In-Time (JIT)
    §Total Quality Management (TQM) 
    §Business Process Reengineering (BPR)
    •Origins of Supply Chain Management  (continued)
