• Supply Chain Strategy: defines how the supply chain should
operate in order to compete. It is an iterative process that
evaluates the cost benefit trade-offs of operational
components.

• Business strategy : It involves leveraging the core

competencies of the organization to achieve a defined high-
level goal or objective. It also includes the analytic and
decision-making process surrounding what to offer ,when to
offer and where to offer as a competitive plan.
• Supply Chain operations are controlled to reduce costs.

STRATEGY
• Understand the business : The first step for supply chain executives to clearly
understand how the enterprise chooses to compete.
• supply chain strategy can be the enabler of the business strategy.
• Assess the Extended Supply Chain : The next step is to conduct a detailed,
realistic assessment of the capabilities that exist within the organization and even
the extended supply chain.

STRATEGY
• Performance Management : Tracking performance allows an organization to
measure how successful it is in realizing the goals of a strategy.

• Performance management works best when people are rewarded for their
performance and reporting is conducted on a regular basis.

• The more the extended supply chain is involved, the more the supply chain strategy
is supported and reinforced.

• Iterate the Cost – Benefit Evaluation Process : On a periodic basis (e.g.,

annually) you should formally revisit your supply chain strategy.

• Look for new opportunities to further position your organization for success.
• Keep Communicating with Your Partners : Executing a supply
chain strategy means dealing with many different entities, both
internally and externally. it is equally important to execute in a manner
consistent with these different groups or stakeholders.
• The goals of your supply chain components and those that you deal
with must be similar and conducted at the same speed.
• Your organization may be able to move at speeds other supply chain
entities are unable to maintain, resulting in misalignment and poor
efficiencies.
• Good communication can keep the extended supply chain in sync.

• Avoiding Potential Pitfalls : Strategy failures occurred primarily

because of failure in execution, not with the vision and strategy
development. Thus :
“Align the Supply Chain Strategy with the Business Strategy”
