Supply chain management 3
Effectiveness of current ordering system
The company is currently managing a wide range of products by handling the portfolio and
delivering the goods in a systematic order. It is therefore considering the lag in delivering the
goods on time and the ineffectiveness in managing the program in a better way. This is seriously
a problem in understanding the supply chain and allocating the resources in a better way. The
purpose is to understand the wide variety of objects and verifying the ordering
system(Song,2012). This system is evident from the point of view of verifying the strategies as
delivered by the company and looking onto the matter as provided by the sustainable supply
chain management. This is evident in verifying the current strategic planning and connecting it
with the organizational value. Purpose of the supply chain function is to maintain a long-term
planning in order to manage the changes in a long-term relevancy and adequacy. The plan is
important enough for systematic delivery of goods and adjusting with the effective time-period.
It is necessary from the point of view of gaining adequate results. The purpose is to manage a
cycle that is necessary to allocate the appropriate location in order to manage the changes in
ordering system (Van Weele, 2009).
Evaluate the effectiveness of the current ordering system
The effectiveness of the current ordering system is managed in order to manage the Ordering
system. This will evidently help in organizing the overall system and developing the supply
chain.
