How Supply Chain Works?
Managing The Supply Chain
To achieve market leadership in the world competition necessitates a
focus on network management as well as upon internal processes. Of the
many issues and challenges facing organizations as they make the
transition to this new competitive environment, the following are most
significant

Collective strategy development
Win-win thinking
Open communication
Supply Chain Opportunities
Wal-Mart and Dell Computer are the examples that shows, if a
company can design and build a supply chain that is responsive to market
demands, it can grow from a small company to become a major player.

Supply chains that deliver the best value to their end use customers
generate a strong demand for products and services.

Skilled companies in specific markets that learn to work together to
achieve new levels of efficiency and cost savings will create supply chains
that grow faster than other supply chains in their markets

Retailing In Textile And Apparel Sectors
Nature of retail supply chain varies from product type to product type
according to the characteristics of the product itself, as well as the
preferences of customers and end-users. A manufacturer that engages in
retail activities would be forwardly integrated, whereas a retailer engaged in
production would be considered backwardly integrated.

All retail supply chains have distribution-intensive operations irrespective
of the specific retail segment they represent.
When customers buy, the stores need to replenish the merchandise from
the warehouses. The warehouses need to be replenished with merchandise
from the vendors, that brings purchase. Before any purchases can be made,
we need to establish the total customer demand, existing supplies, and
remaining demand that must be fulfilled from new purchases.
New Approach In Retail Supply Chain: VMI
A mechanism where the supplier creates the purchase orders based on the
demand information exchanged by the retailer/ customer.

Vendor managed inventory fulfillment process from retailer
perspective: The activities of forecasting and creating the purchase orders
are performed by the vendor/supplier with the help of Electronic data
interchange.
Activities involved in establishing vendor managed inventory
process:
Management Commitment and Buy-in from Inventory Staff
Data Synchronization and EDI Set Up
Setting up the Agreements
Data Exchange
New Approach In Retail Supply Chain: VMI
Ordering
Invoice Matching
Measurement
Benefits of VMI process
