    The average company spends nearly half of every dollar it earns on production needs—goods and services it needs from external suppliers to keep producing. A supply chain consists of all parties involved, directly or indirectly, in the procurement of a product or raw material. Supply chain management (SCM) involves the management of information flows between and among stages in a supply chain to maximize total supply chain effectiveness and profitability.…

    The case discusses about the operation of the world’s largest convenience store chain Seven-Eleven in Japan, and the way it became Japan’s top leading super market chain. Seven–Eleven started its operation in Japan in November 1973 under an area licensing agreement between Ito-Yokado Co., Ltd., and The Southland Corporation. With more than 15,500 stores worldwide, Seven-Eleven Japan Co., Ltd (SEJ) franchises 6,900 stores in Japan and most of the remaining stores located in North America. SEJ has maintained the top position in convenience stores in Japan for twenty years since it opened its first store in downtown Tokyo in May 1974 under the strong leadership of Mr. Suzuki (Chairman and CEO of SEJ). The retail chains total sales including franchise stores in 1997 were $16 billion with record net profit of $550 million, making it the largest retail chain store in Japan. It also had the highest average sales per store per day among the three leading convenience store chains SEJ, Daiei Convenience Systems and Family-Mart. SEJ's commanding market position and outstanding performance has been largely due to its pioneering innovation in rationalizing Japan's convenience retail industry. The convenience store concept is brought to Japan by Southland Corporation, which provides SEJ with the necessary know-how to get started. However, SEJ's innovation in supply chain management soon placed it far ahead of Southland in both profitability and business process technology.…

    Intelligent decisions require quality information. All information should be judged according to five criteria: relevance, accuracy, timeliness, clarity, and visibility. Deficiencies in any of these areas will weaken the decisionmaking process. Ensuring the quality of information is critical for effective supply chain management. Unfortunately, the complexity of the task intimidates many companies into settling for inefficiencies and inaccuracies. As a result, decisions are based on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that can be ambiguous, imprecise or even incorrect. A KPI is only as reliable as the information on which it is based. However, there are numerous barriers to extracting quality data for KPIs. Too often information exists in a state of chaos. Data is recorded in different forms in different departments using different software. Calculating a particular KPI might require data from the general ledger, warehouse management system (WMS), enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, a third-party logistics (3PL) partner, and other disparate sources. Adding to the chaos, the data in different systems often will not agree. Achieving clarity is not easy, but the advantages are both extensive and substantial. Effective KPIs strengthen supply chain management in three ways. First, they help identify weaknesses within the supply chain where corrective action is required. Second, they illuminate best practices that can be replicated elsewhere in the supply chain for improved performance. Third, they help evaluate the efficiency of outside agencies and business partners who provide services to the company. No company operates at perfect efficiency. Improvements in supply chain management can result in tens of millions of dollars in annual savings, if the company has the tools to make effective decisions. OHL has developed a…
