The possibility of emergency situations is also examined.

Supply chain planning also includes supplier performance management (SPM) and supplier risk management. The broader Supply Chain Management, however, involves:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Supply Chain Planning<\/li>\n<li>Supply Chain Strategy<\/li>\n<li>Logistics<\/li>\n<li>Procurement<\/li>\n<li>Forecasting<\/li>\n<li>Asset management<\/li>\n<li>Inventory management<\/li>\n<li>Order generation, order taking and order fulfilment<\/li>\n<li>Management of Returns<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The planning phase of SCM evaluates every aspect of the procurement, manufacturing and delivery of the goods and services in terms of <a title=\"Catalogue of Training Courses for Human Resources\" href=\"\/category\/human-resources\" target=\"_blank\">human resources<\/a>, transportation, costs, risks, inventory, return, demand and customer. As the ultimate goal of supply chain planning is to balance demand and supply, customer satisfaction makes its core. Depending on the demand of customers, supply must be adjusted. To ensure that this is successfully done, planning becomes crucial. Supply chain planning, therefore, also involves:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Building of operational strategy<\/li>\n<li>Identification of strengths and weaknesses in a supply chain<\/li>\n<li>Determining of supply options<\/li>\n<li>Evaluating choices for cost reduction<\/li>\n<li>Determining the type, place and quantity of customer demand<\/li>\n<li>Determining changes in demand<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Companies that have effective supply chain plans are able to meet their customers\u2019 demands at all times, even if it is fluctuating. They reduce costs by eliminating wastage caused by overproduction, and unnecessary use of resources. As supply chain planning also includes looking for suppliers\/resources that can provide stability and reduce costs, it creates a strong network of supply that is adjusted to demand.<\/p>\n<p>Creating a balance between demand and supply ensures that companies enjoy customer satisfaction and increase their customer base on the foundation of a strong supply chain. As supply chain planning is the primary step in supply chain management, it is vital to successfully use it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a title=\"\/blog\/lean-six-sigma-training\/companies-benefit-continuous-improvement-lean-sigmaawareness-adelaide-melbourne-sydney\/\" href=\"\/blog\/lean-six-sigma-training\/companies-benefit-continuous-improvement-lean-sigmaawareness-adelaide-melbourne-sydney\/\" target=\"_blank\">Related Article&#8230;<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"s2\"><a href=\"\/pd-training-reviews\"><b>Pdtraining<\/b><\/a><\/span><span class=\"s3\"><b> delivers 1000\u2019s of professional development courses each year in Brisbane, Sydney, Parramatta, Melbourne, Adelaide, Canberra and Perth, so you can be assured your training will be delivered by a qualified and experienced trainer.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"s3\"><b>All public\u00a0<a title=\"Supply Chain Management Training\" href=\"\/supply-chain-management-training-course\" target=\"_blank\">Supply Chain Management Training<\/a><\/b><b>\u00a0courses include am\/pm tea, lunch, printed courseware and a certificate of completion.\u00a0 Customised courses are available upon request so please contact pdtraining on\u00a01300 121 400 to learn more.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Supply Chain Planning involves predicting future requirements so that demand and supply can be synchronised.
