The Application Of Supply Chain's Supplier Management Theories Into M Company's Operations

With the development of economic globalisation, more and more people realize that the competitiveness of a company not only lies in the company itself alone, it also depends on the efficiency of the whole supply chain which the Company belong to. Suppliers' management as the basic and critical point of the whole supply chain's management has attracted the increasing attention to the public.MBA is a practical science, I put the study of supplier mangement theory under the theory of supply chain. I have separated Suppliers' management theory into three parts: Supplier Key Performance Index system; Supplier Evaluation theory and Supplier Management Strategy Theory. I have used what I have learned from the MBA class into my practical working experience. I studied and analyzed Company M's current supplier management practise and compared it with these management theories, pointed out the weakness and drafted out a practical and efficient suppliers' evaluation system & management strategy.I have taken the further studies by analysing Company M's real data using SPSS regression software to verify if the above conclusion is correct or not.I choose Company M , the main meat products supplier to McDonald's restaurants, as my study subject. Through evaluation & analysing of Company M's suppliers' chain, we can reveal from a particular point of view the strength and weakness of the McDonald's supply-chain. Why McDonald's restaurants, as the leader of the Fast Food industry in the world, lags far behind KFC in Asia Pacific area? The thesis gives out a clue to the answer of this question which has been puzzled people for a long time.
