 Supply Chain Evolution
v Two hundred years ago, giant mechanical machines
replaced labor to complete tasks in large factories.
Railroads, electricity and new communications mediums
expanded markets and also made supply chains better,
faster, and cheaper.

v In the early 1900s, Henry Ford created the first moving

assembly line, utilizing scientific management methods.
This reduced the time required to build a Model T from 728
hours to 1.5 hours, and ushered in the mass production
era.

v But in the 1970s, U.S. manufacturing’s superiority was

challenged by lower costs and higher quality products from
foreign

v Inventory: where businesses decide where to store their

products, and how much to store.

v Distribution: where businesses address questions about

how their products should be moved and stored.

v Payments: where businesses look for the best ways to pay

suppliers and get paid by customers.

The efficiency and effectiveness of a supply chain is contingent

on the ability
