Supply Chain Management (SCM)- is the combination of art and science that goes into
improving the way your company finds the raw components it needs to make a product or service and deliver it to customers. The following are five basic components of SCM. 1. PlanThis is the strategic portion of SCM. Companies need a strategy for managing all the resources that go toward meeting customer demand for their product or service. A big piece of SCM planning is developing a set of metrics to monitor the supply chain so that it is efficient, costs less and delivers high quality and value to customers. 2. SourceNext, companies must choose suppliers to deliver the goods and services they need to create their product. Therefore, supply chain managers must develop a set of pricing, delivery and payment processes with suppliers and create metrics for monitoring and improving the relationships. And then, SCM managers can put together processes for managing their goods and services inventory, including receiving and verifying shipments, transferring facilities and authorizing supplier payments. them to the manufacturing
3. MakeThis is the manufacturing step. Supply chain managers schedule the activities necessary for production, testing, packaging and preparation for delivery. This is the most metric-intensive portion of the supply chain one where companies are able to measure quality levels, production output and worker productivity. 4. DeliverThis is the part that many SCM insiders refer to as logistics, where companies coordinate the receipt of orders from customers, develop a network of warehouses, pick carriers to get products to customers and set up an invoicing system to receive payments. 5. ReturnThis can be a problematic part of the supply chain for many companies. Supply chain planners have to create a responsive and flexible network for receiving defective and excess products back from their customers and supporting customers who have problems with delivered products.
Financial Management (FM)- means the efficient and effective management of money (funds)
in such a manner as to accomplish the objectives of the organization. It includes how to rise the capital, how to allocate it i.e. capital budgeting. Not only about long term budgeting but also how to allocate the short term resources like current assets. It also deals with the dividend policies of the share holders Sound financial management is an integral component of any good business strategy. It is more than an enabler for the overall plan, and can be a competitive weapon. A strategic vision must be accompanied by the understanding of how it will generate financial value. Human resource management (HRM, or simply HR)- is the management of an organization's workforce, or human resources. It is responsible for the compensation, hiring, performance management, organization development, safety, wellness, benefits, employee motivation, communication, administration, and training, while also overseeing organizational leadership and culture and ensuring compliance with employment and labor laws. In circumstances where employees desire and are legally authorized to hold a collective
bargaining agreement, HR will also serve as the company's primary liaison with the employees' representatives. HRM is moving away from traditional personnel, administration, and transactional roles, which are increasingly outsourced. HRM is now expected to add value to the strategic utilization of employees and that employee programs impact the business in measurable ways. The new role of HRM involves strategic direction and HRM metrics and measurements to demonstrate value.
Purchasing management- directs the flow of goods and services in a company and handles all
data relating to contact with suppliers. To be effective, it requires knowledge of the supply chain, business and tax laws, invoice and inventory procedures, and transportation
and logistics issues. Although a strong knowledge of the products and services to be purchased is essential, professionals in this field must also be able to plan, execute, and oversee purchasing strategies that help their company be more profitable. Purchasing management encompasses a group of applications that controls purchasing of raw materials needed to build products and that manages inventory stocks. It also involves creating purchase orders/contracts, supplier tracking, goods receipt and payment, and regulatory compliance analysis and reporting.
