CSCM 2008 Edition Study Guide
| Critical Exam Tip: |
| Ask yourself whether
an answer can completely address the question. If it is only partly
true or if it is true only when some narrow conditions are met, it
may not be the most correct answer. On the other hand, your very own
imagination can actually turn a simple question into a "trick
question". Keep in mind, a trick question can become real tricky if
you don't take it at face value. Sometimes reading too much into the
question can work against you. Lean is always the right answer. Lean always goes hand in hand with quality. And lean always require the help of modern Is technologies. |
CSCM SAMPLE TEXT on Supply Chain collaboration Supply-chain collaboration is an effort which supposes to connect and invigorate enterprises and suppliers. Important: Supply Chain Synchronization refers to multiform operational integration across the supply chain. In fact, collaboration is a MUST for your chain to run efficiently. Such effort is usually implemented by sharing information and even system accesses between the chain partners. Keep in mind though, that: “When an enterprise opens its internal systems to its suppliers, it creates the potential for substantial operational efficiencies across the supply chain. But it also raises the online stakes, creating the need for high-availability systems that are secure from unauthorized users” . Supply chain management solutions focus on providing more real-time data from all links of the chain. These solutions often span an enterprise's communication with suppliers, and product design collaboration is often the critical component. Important: With Supply Chain Visibility, through real time data transport your chain partners can figure out exactly the items that you need as soon as you are aware. Through increased visibility customer satisfaction can also be vastly improved by allowing customers to track their orders from the moment they were submitted. Effective collaboration can significantly enhance supply chain visibility. The technical methods of collaboration among chain partners often involve the use of modern technologies like Ecommerce, Internet and Extranet. Short for electronic commerce, eCommerce is the buying and selling of goods and services on the Internet. In practice, this term and the term “e-business” are often used interchangeably. An extranet is a private network that uses the Internet protocol and the public communication network to securely share business information or operations with your external partners (such as your suppliers, vendors, partners and customers). In fact, it can be viewed as part of a company's intranet that is extended to the outside users. A successful extranet has to be safe and secure. To implement, you need firewall server management, the issuance and use of digital certificates (or similar means of user authentication), encryption of transmitted data, and the use of virtual private network (VPN) technologies that tunnel through the public internet. Fallback mechanisms must be available, or otherwise if one of these items goes wrong the entire system would be down to a total halt. CSCM SAMPLE TEXT on Kanban and JIT Kanban is often associated with JIT. By definition, Kanban is a manufacturing strategy in which parts are produced or delivered only as needed. Toyota Motor has been credited with developing the Kanban system, which takes its name from the Japanese word for "sign" or "placard". Being recognized as one of the primary tools of JIT system, Kanban maintains an orderly and efficient flow of materials throughout the entire manufacturing process. Brian Willcox in his article "KANBAN'S - SIMPLICITY AT IT'S BEST" describes Kanban as an instrument that is used as a requisition for material and labor and is a works order authorization, that the Kanban system is a production control system (for regularly used components) which resembles a two-bin system. For such a system to work, a supply with a consistent and short lead time as well as a constant and not variable demand is needed. Brian further classifies the three types of Kanbans in common use: o Kanban square - it is used on an assembly line or work cell with a square drawn on the bench or floor between two operators. When one operator has finished a part, instead of giving it to the next operator, she would put it into the Kanban square and wait for it to be taken before herself is allowed to make another one. o single card Kanban - often not a card but a container, it is a very effective way of scheduling a producing work centre that feeds an assembly line. o double card Kanban - the "move" card is used to authorize the movement of material from the supplier to the using company, while the "production" card is used by the supplying company to launch another batch of work into his manufacturing facility when he returns with an empty container from the customer. In the Kanban manufacturing system, each shipment of parts used in making a product comes with a sign or a card known as a Kanban. The sign is usually a printed card that contains specific information such as part name, description, quantity, etc. |
