The CEO of the start-up company you are working with from Wk 1 asked you to attend the executive steering committee meeting. The committee is looking to implement a new SCM system. The manufacturing company does not currently have a SCM system and does not believe there is a need for one. The lack of having one causes the company to have occasional operational issues, which results in a loss of revenue.
The executive steering committee has asked you to research the different SCM system software packages available and create a comparison chart of the different packages. They would also like you to provide a summary that will give a recommendation for what SCM system the organization should use.
Research at least four SCM system software packages.
Create a comparison chart for at least four SCM packages you researched that includes the following:
Product
Deployment
Demand Planning
Import/Export Management
Inventory Management
Shipping Management
Supplier Management
Transportation Management
Warehouse Management
Cost
Note 1: The cost factor might be challenging to determine without subscribing, initiating a consultation or solicitation; therefore, do the best that you can. If not able to determine a cost in research, then document the research attempt instead.
Write a 1-page summary that will help the executives determine what SCM system and strategy to use and that will ensure success. Be sure to include the following in your summary:
A high-level overview of the supply chain
Why each step is important to the organization
How the supply chain will help the company succeed and correct the operational issues.
