BASIC CONCEPTS AND

OVERVIEW OF SUPPLY CHAIN

MANAGEMENT
 Supply chain management differs from
conventional logistics, which focuses on
operations within an organization's territory and
networks, while traditional logistics includes
marketing, product manufacturing, finance, and
customer support.
 Overview of Supply Chain

In today's competitive business environment, logistics and supply

chain management techniques are increasingly important for
improving return on investment and profitability. These techniques
can add value to properties in the hospitality industry, which
includes hotels, restaurants, event organizing, theme parks,
transportation, and cruise lines.
 Overview of Supply Chain

The hotel and catering industries rely on a robust supply chain for
efficient operations, enhancing customer service and fostering
better understanding of the entire supply chain. Innovative
hospitality chains utilize intelligence solutions to collect and
analyze data, paving the way for future hyper-competition.
 What Is Supply Chain?

A supply chain is the lineup of companies that market goods or

services.
 What Is Supply Chain?

A supply chain is a network of suppliers, manufacturers,

assemblers, and logistics installations that perform tasks like
material sourcing, processing, and shipment to buyers for
intermediate or finished products.
 What Is Supply Chain?

The supply chain encompasses all stages involved in fulfilling a

consumer order, including manufacturers, shipping providers,
warehouses, dealers, and consumers themselves.
 Essential Features of Supply Chain Management

Integrated Behavior

Supply chain management (SCM) integrates stakeholder

integration between the client and the provider.
 Essential Features of Supply Chain Management

Information
Mutually Sharing information

In particular for planning and surveillance processes, an efficient

SCM exchange of information between channel participants is
needed
 Essential Features of Supply Chain Management

Mutually sharing channel risk and rewards

Effective supply chain management (SCM) involves risk-sharing

and reward-sharing, promoting competitive advantage through
reciprocal channel risks and incentives.
 Essential Features of Supply Chain Management

Cooperation

Successful SCM necessitates cooperation among channel

participants, involving coordinated operations in an enterprising
relationship to achieve superior results collectively.
 Essential Features of Supply Chain Management

Focus on serving customers

Supply chain is effective where all supply chain members serve

consumers with the same objective and concentration. A mode of
policy convergence has the same aim and focal point for supply
chain members.
 Essential Features of Supply Chain Management

Integration process

SCM implementation necessitates system convergence from supply

chain to production and delivery, achieved through cross-
functional conditions, plant supplier staff, and third-party services.
 Essential Features of Supply Chain Management

Partners to build and maintain long-term relationships

Successful partnerships aim to merge channel policies to reduce

duplication and overlap, enhancing efficiency and cost-
effectiveness. Clear cultures and management strategies facilitate
this integration.
 Benefits of Supply Chain Management

just-in-time inventory models

8. Assists businesses in responding to global dynamics, economic upheavals,

growing market preferences, and associated disparities

9. Assists businesses in the supply chain to reduce duplication, eliminate risks, and
achieve efficiency
 Functions of Supply Chain Management

Strategic network optimization involving warehouse, fulfillment center, and

facilities numbers, locations, and scale.

Strategic relationships, contact networks, and technological advancements, such as

cross-docking, exporting directly, and logistics with third parties, are crucial for
success. Strategic Level

Management of inventory life cycles to optimally combine new and current goods in
the supply chain and capacity management

payment through insurance provider retention of business losses.
 Factors Affecting Supply Chain in Hospitality Industry

• The hotel's customer or guest is referred to as "GOD." When it comes to

strict uniformity, it may be difficult at times. Customer satisfaction is
critical in the hotel industry. This has a detrimental impact on supply
chain management. Customer-related activities including food and
beverage production and service, housekeeping, and front office
administration are critical in the hotel industry. Accounts, buying, supply
chain management, and revenue records are pushed to the sidelines.

 Factors Affecting Supply Chain in Hospitality Industry

• Different management systems, including hotel operators, franchisees,

and chain hotels, impact supply chain management, causing asset
disputes and varying handling.

 Challenges of Hospitality Industry Related to Supply Chain

Raw material cost - the hotel industry faces high raw material costs due to
organic consumables and meager prices. Bulk purchases are insufficient,
increasing transaction costs. Mechanization and automation are not fully
applicable due to diverse suppliers, resulting in increased transaction costs.

Strategic Level
 Challenges of Hospitality Industry Related to Supply Chain

Material ordering cost - Hotels often use handwritten indents and

transactions independently, leading to long consolidation times. Restructuring
is complex, and hotels often place multiple orders for the same products.
Excessive purchases of different labels and packaging sizes negatively
impact restructuring, supply, and cost. Supply chain management can lead to
significant cost reductions. Strategic Level

Inventory handling - Inventory handling is crucial in managing uncertain

product forecasts, leading to stockpiling, delayed delivery, and higher
expenses due to delayed delivery of best items to user departments.
