CMGT 556 Week 3 SCM Reference Document
The CEO of the startup company you are working with from Week 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
Write a 1-page summary includes references that will help the executives determine what SCM system and strategy to use 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
