Supply Chain Management
Marks and Spencer Supply Chain
This assignment is about the supply chain of Marks and Spencer. You must investigate the supply chains for two different products and discuss how these supply chains could be improved. Identify any current issues affecting supply chain management.
The supply chain is the network of interconnected processes involved with providing a product required by the consumer. It is a non-linear, tiered network of organisations. Supply chain management is managing the whole process of the network across the entire chain, making sure it runs smoothly and easily throughout the chain and making sure any problems can be resolved quickly and efficiently before any great harm is done to the chain. The management controls the whole cycle of the supply chain; the procurement, conversion, transportation and distributions. Therfore, customers’ needs are met in the right time and to ensure the product is to their satisfaction.

Marks and Spencer Plain Jersey Top
Firstly, the buying office make the design for marks and spencer that they think will work very well in store. When it’s done and everyone agrees with the design, the design is sent over to China. In China, they make the design which they think will fit the sizing ranges, then its sent back to head office. At Head Office they fit the Top to a model and make sure all sizing is right. The top is then sent back to China where they modify all the changes that were made in the Head office. Then the changes are sealed and are ready to be made in bulk. Then the design is replicated many times in a high tech factory in China. Then the tops are transported by boat to the UK to the distribution
