| Supply chain management (SCM) is a kind of management idea and method that emerged in the eighties in global business management, cohich aims to improve cooperation and whole operation efficiency among enterprises. This management style has been introduced in our country for a long time, so enterprises of our country have made a large number of practical works to implement SCM, such as infrastructure construction, information-based management, logistics management, strategic management, and so on. But according to the practical situations in our country, SCM is still far from reaching its due performance. Reasons for this kind of situation lie in many aspects. This thesis analyses the reason for poor performance of SCM practices in our country, and makes some suggestions and countermeasures in order to improve the performance of SCM in our country.This thesis is divided into three chapters altogether. Chapter One answers what the supply chain (SC) and SCM is. Chapter Two analyzes the current practice situation of SCM in our country, Chapter Three makes some countermeasures and suggestions are put forward to the question that appeared in the practice of SCM in our country.Chapter one introduces the definition of SC and SCM at first, in order to facilitate the research of this thesis. The concept of SC has been developed from "value chain" that was put forward by Potter. SC is a functional chain network that connects supplier, manufacturer and seller, and the main function of SCM is to coordinate and manage with information flow, logistics flow and funds flow of SC. SC have been in existence for a long time, but SCM wasn't popular on world until the eighties of the 20th century. Since then favored by domestic and international scholars and practitioners. The economic environment of our times has played a very important role. The reason for SCM's emergence lies in several respects mainly: the global competition forces enterprises to cooperate; the idea of core competitiveness and procedure is the basis of SCM; the strategic alliance is the incubator of SCM; the time-based competition is the motivator of SCM. SCM includes abundant management idea, among which there are many management ideas that affect corporate management much, such as the idea of systematic, the idea of cooperative competition, etc. In another way, the application of SCM can bring enormous interests to enterprises too. Certainly, SCM must be based on certain principles, such as the principle of supply chain design, the principle of supply chain manage and the principle to implement, which are the assurance of performance of SCM.Chapter Two analyzes the current situation of SCM practice in our country at the present stage. This chapter thinks, enterprises of our country have already laid a certain foundation in order to supply the SCM, and the development trend of SCM in our country is good too. All these have indicated that improving our country's SCM level has its feasibility. But compared with other countries with good SCM performance, our country's SCM level needs to be improved. The extant question mainly appears in several aspects: the social environment is not perfect (including market mechanism, government's behavior, economic atmosphere, talent's system); the foundation of SC design and management is weak (including enterprise's management idea lags behind and the mechanism of management is imperfect); enterprise institutional framework does not fit for SCM; there is no advantages in logistics management and the ability in using information technology was lower. These respects are the foundation of implement in SCM, which are influencing the achievement of SCM directly.Chapter Three proposes some suggestions and countermeasures to the questions that are analyzed in Chapter Two. Because SCM involves some respects between the enterprise and enterprise , among enterprises and social environment and a lot of respects inside enterprises, the suggestions and countermeasures put forward in this thesis ar... |
