It represents a conscious effort by the supply chain firms to develop and run supply chains in the most effective & efficient ways possible.Supply chain activities cover everything from product development, sourcing, production, and logistics, as well as the information systems needed to coordinate these activities.

One Solution Increased Competition and Globalization

The second major trend is increased competition and globalization of businesses. The rate of change in markets, products, and technology is increasing, leading to situations where managers must make decisions on shorter notice, with less information, and with higher penalty costs. New competitors are entering into markets that have traditionally been dominated by “domestic” firms.

The information revolution has given companies a wide range

To avoid such problems, firms must manage the relationships with their upstream suppliers as well as their downstream customers. In many American industries, strong supply chain relationships like those found Japan might not develop readily. Firms are often geographically distant, and there are not as many small, family-owned suppliers as in Japan. In the case of high-tech firms, many components may be sole-sourced from overseas suppliers who are proprietary owners of the required technology. In such environments, it becomes more important to choose a few, select suppliers, thereby paving the way for informal interaction and information sharing.
