Supply Chain Challenges Sample Clauses

Supply Chain Challenges. Today supply chain has become a complex entity. Global competition, strategic nature of relationships had increase interdependencies amongst supply chain members. Length and depth of supply chain partners has increased the supply chain complexity. Anyone who wants to remain competitive is looking to source some portion of their goods form a low- cost provider. It means the supply chain is longer than ever and probably includes more participants than in the past [23]. A manufacturer may be using its own production plants or may have manufacturing contracts around the globe, may have its own distribution setup or using third-party 3PL providers. Challenge is shifting from internal efficiency to supply chain efficiency. It is not sufficient to improve internal operations if the external links are not up to the par [12]. This increase complexity of supply chain has making more difficult to share information. In addition to technical challenges there are some supply chains challenges are there to address. One of the important supply chain challenge facing by mashup developers is the tradeoff between protection of intellectual property and consumer privacy versus fair-use and the free flow of information [18]. There is a chance that content providers who expose API’s for data retrieval might found that their contents can be used in the manner they do not approve. It is an issue of trust between supply chain members. Another issue is the awareness of the business value of mashups and their potential to solve business problems by providing faster access to the right information. In this information age, many organizations still are not fully aware of benefits they can get by sharing information across the supply chain. One another important issue is who will control this mashup in the supply chain. Who will catalog them, maintain them, support them and fix them when they break? One player in the supply chain or cross company team will control this. What will happen when some member will misuse information, or stop sharing information? This is an important challenge which supply chain will face while developing cross company enterprise mashup. Modern organization management suggests decentralization is a good way to handle large organization. Decentralization gives right to person at spot to make decision based on his specialized knowledge and about his surroundings. However with decentralized control, the whole system may not achieve optimum performance when every...

Supply Chain Challenges. Overall, the core Supply Chain is viewed by the AMICI Partners as reasonably strong with positive relationships between National Laboratories and companies. However, this has often resulted in a very concentrated Supply Chain, with small numbers of companies supplying key technologies. This is the result of the customised, project based approach to many projects. This could become a strategic weakness, leading to a number of problems:  Prices can be high as there are few or no alternative suppliers  National Laboratories are vulnerable to companies obsoleting the technologies, leaving them without a Supply Chain (e.g. klystrons, where falling demand from the telecom and TV sectors may present a strategic threat) A major challenge from the National Laboratories’ perspective is encouraging and engaging with new entrants to the Supply Chain. There are several issues with this: • The lack of understanding by new companies of the needs and terminology of the National Laboratories. • Competition from exiting suppliers, making it difficult for new suppliers to enter the market. • ‘Valley of death’ issues of bringing innovative new technologies to market. • Lack of personal contacts and trust. Obsolescence was also highlighted as a problem. RI facilities can have an operating life over several decades. This causes major problems in finding / making spares later in a facility’s lifetime. The National Laboratories are open to inward innovation from Industry, but it needs to be low risk (because of significant project risk and cost implications) and in areas where existing internal technical expertise is weak. Regarding outward innovation transfer, the National Laboratories supported by the AMICI Technical Platforms undertake considerable amounts of research and development, but the resulting knowledge and IP is typically transferred to Industry on a project basis. As a result, there is far more knowledge and IP available from the National Laboratories than the Supply Chain or Lateral Markets are aware of. Companies are also often reluctant to engage in co-innovation development with National Laboratories, especially for technologies where the market size may be uncertain and development risks are high.
