PART 1
Q1. Critical analysis of any five of the seven supply chain commandments
Supply chain management is system of organization, people, activities and information
that helps to pass the product and services to end number of customers. Overall, supply chain
activities involve transformation of natural resources in all over world and makes most
approachable target goals (Epstein, 2018). Apart from that, supply chain activity involves the
overall changes of raw material into finished products and services in order to deliver same to the
end users. There are explaining some commandments of supply chain management that involves
the essential elements and approaches as given below:
Articulate a clear value creation algorithm requires understanding the company value and
creates more in terms of quality of services. It brings new challenges and growth in order to
bring the best approachable target goals. It explains two types of preposition of growth and value
preposition which helps to connect customers and company in order to make the profit and
satisfaction as well. Value preposition refers to company uniqueness that helps to identify and
difference between other companies (Fredendall and Hill, 2016). Value creation is beneficial
1

element for company for which they should adopt high quality and maintain healthy relation with
the buyers. On the contrary, due to low quality and effectiveness in the products services might
be get reduce the value of company in market place. For that the same, company needs to adopt
quality raw material and variety of products to attract a number of customers. Growth
preposition helps company to looks at where the business needs to focus to generate current and
future growth in terms of customers, products and channel of distribution (Gattorna, 2017).
Given preposition are equally necessary for company to make good presence in front of their
company. Overall, increment process will help to enable the high supply chain management of
the company in market place
On the basis of second commandments of supply chain management. Supply chain model
has needs to adopt the model of plan, buy, make and move to take far more comprehensive view.
This brings the new matter of fact. This brings the new level of growth in order to meet the needs
of the supply chain management. It has been critical that company also needs to focus on the
process to make sure the best output results. They also need to focus on holistic network of
suppliers. That helps to contain the long term process of building relationship with other
stakeholders (Grant, 2016). Overall, it requires the long term process and needs of the
organization goals. It has been saved and maintaining the effective and productive output results.
Positive approach of relationship goals are helpful to better deliver system process.
In addition, of that, another commandments will be explaining the different types of
consumers and their characteristics. These statements are right that, all customer are not equal.
For that, it is required for the companies to make different variety of supply chain configuration
that can deliver across multiple channels and products in different markets. The limitation of
these commandments is that, manufacturing industry facing different challenges in terms of
different variety of customers and their needs (Hill, 2017). That affect the market needs and
demands.
In order to understand the objectives and level into more proper format level. In another
commandments explains the importance of global operations or at large scale of the system. That
helps to make flexible and risk less environment for the companies. In terms of that, it also
requires the more challenging and long lasting performance. To make the proper channel of
growth. It also helps to explain the long lasting effectiveness. Company needs to handle their
business at global level to reach worldwide growth. Overall, it makes the process and world
2

challenging level of growth. This helps company to get the competitive advantage and achieving
the correct balance between local, regional and global considerations.
As per the last commandments of supply chain management helps to explain that
company value preposition helps to determine the supply chain areas in which company exist
(Hueskes, Verhoest and Block, 2017). It makes the good impression on the customers in order to
take the best approachable target goals. In order to gain high performance task, company needs
to focus on the quality and proper planning. It gives the best approachable target goals. Company
requires the critical area for explaining the long lasting effects on the company level. This makes
the proper and implemented goals that helps to take care of the organizational goals.
Q2. Identify the similarities and differences of supply chain objectives and strategies in the
public sector within private sector.
Supply chain management practices are the major goals and objectives of every type of
industries. Supply managers who works in public sector comply with unique transparency rules.
They can easily substantial savings by integrating the public sector requirements with private
sector supply chain management concepts (Kerzner and Kerzner, 2017). Both private and public
sector having different goals and objectives to perform the better objectives and goals. Overall, it
brings the best level of growth in order to brings the long lasting effects. There are different
factors makes public sector different from private sector in the context of supply chain
management. Number of practices and functions influence supply chain practices with regard to
procurement. Both the sector having different aims towards their customers. Such as private
sector focusing on the profit making by providing the best quality of product and services.
Besides, public sector has focused on the public interest and focusing to the main objectives and
goals (Kumar and et.al., 2015). It is the long term process to be implemented ion order to take
care of the organization goals. Apart from that,
Foremost requirement for transparency is governmental exists when all information is
openly and freely available. In terms of public sector government display all the information
openly and freely available for the public. It requires the long lasting purpose and organizational
goals in order to protect the public goals. Besides, it makes the long term purpose goals. These
goals make the best output results in order to make the long lasting effects.
This process has been given long effectiveness and better objective goals. More apart,
governmental procurement process, rules and transactions must be spelled out and available to
3

the public as well as potential suppliers (Leveraging private sector practices in the public sector,
2018). These kinds of advertising of the contract opportunities makes the best approachable
target goals. Overall, it brings the new better resources and given the long lasting goals. In public
sector suppliers are invited for the opening of the bid submissions (Laudon and Laudon, 2016).
Along with that, it also requires the best approachable and long effectiveness in terms of making
target goals. Apart from that, it also helps to take care of the organizational betterment.
In addition to that. In terms of private sector such as sample reviews, sample check,
reference checks, credit checks, site visits etc. this makes the proper effective implementation
process to maintained the proper supply chain management.
Another difference between public and private procurement is that. Public business is
expanded in very big scale. Their investing capacity is compare lively high as compare to private
sector industries (McCormack and Johnson, 2016). It is the long lasting effectiveness that spread
the best approachable target goals. Overall, it takes the long process to make the best
approachable target goals. Apart from that, it brings the new level of goals and provides the best
approachable target goals. Overall, it takes the best approachable target goals. In order to take the
best advantageous goals and objectives for the company betterment. It helps to take the best
effective and more challenging facts. It also helps to take care the things and long lasting effects.
In terms of different research it has been seen that, private and public sector practitioners
are totally different in their goals and objectives. While public sector follows the practices
governed by the government bodies, laws and regulations. Besides, private sectors follows the
structure guided by board of directors and business plan. Another difference is public sector take
the taxes, fees and use the funds for public services (Monczka and et.al., 2015). On the contrary,
private sector firms are take revenues through selling goods and services at high prices and earn
profit margins for further investment. It brings the new major goals and objectives for better
supply chain management.
There are different process of public sector in purchasing such as perceived lack of
expenses and other inventory carrying costs, lack of transportation expertise, lack of
transparency in suppliers. These are the nature of public sector organization in supply chain
management. The focus of public organization are on purchase price rather than on cost of
ownership (Nagle and Müller, 2017). It brings the new level of challenges and growth. To the
contrary, in terms of private sector supply chain management, in terms of many researchers'
4

procurement is the essential part in SCM which is made up from eight activities. Customer, order
fulfillment, manufacturing, demand management, product development, suppliers relationship,
returns management, demand process, product commercialization. According to research, SPM
is the traditional intro business activity of the business function. Private sector is more innovative
and creative in terms of procurement (Pennington, 2017). It makes the long lasting effective long
challenging goals making charges and letter effective goals making targets. In terms of public
sector it involves high range of stakeholders involvement, greater emphasis on accountability or
transparency.
Q3. Explain why traditional supply chain practices are inadequate in today's business
environment.
In recent times the way of doing business has transformed. This is because of change in
technology, market condition etc. these changes has forced business to make changes in their
operations. Similarly, there has been significant changes in supply chain management. Now
traditional SCM practices are not followed (Christopher, 2016) Globalization has led to an
increasing the complexity of the traditional supply chain model. Supply chain management is
design by to deals with outbound distribution from good and services. It has affected the
organization in different ways for the productive that supply in chain management. Also it helps
to create new advantage for the company section with their limitations. This types of supply
chain helps to improving their quality and rejection on their management. It has affected the
today's businesses as recent businesses are facing different risks so traditional supply chain
management is not effective. There are many reasons that can be considered. It is as follows :-
 Lack of visibility – Today business have different types of tools and techniques that
they track their products and immediately implement changes in it. But traditional
technology limits the visibility of end to end supply chain in order of products and
services. This matter that how problems are likely implements higher fulfillment costs
and difficulty in analyzing by using traditional supply chain management.
 Poor response times –The traditional supply chain management do not directly focus on
parties because of its slow process (Fredendall and Hill, 2016). The result is that
information is not exchanged on right time and it increases response time. But business
have technical factors for helping better response in right time. The result is that
information gathered on correct time and implement work in proper way.
5

 Conflicting priorities - Different companies has various priorities, today business
priorities but divided into different part so it is easy to operate business. But traditional
business supply chain implements individually with their own set of priorities (Hugos,
2018.) Although these align at the top level, lack of cohesion can lead to conflict.
Traditional business supply chain practices cannot be operated properly in today's
business.
 Inefficient fulfillment model – In modern business there are different tactics to handle
fulfillment for customer. Today's different ideas can changes customer taste and
preference. But traditional business faced some challenges such as customer multiple
demand channel access. the ability to purchase, take delivery and pick up anywhere is not
easy to operate. The traditional fulfillment model is too inefficient to handle this.
Traditional business have to focus on implementing change.
 Inflexible technology – technology improvements changes way of working with
flexibility . Traditional business have different technical changes for improving customer
taste and preference. In Traditional business, technology around other supply chain
function is also falling behind an increases technologically and digitally focused
customer (Fredendall, and Hill). Traditional business have to apply technology to
improve their productivity and maintain technology according to modern choice of its
customer.
PART 2
Q1. Supply chain management universal agreed definition.
Different authors have different definition of supply chain management. Also some of
have different prospect and interrelated definition. Supply chain management is important part
of any organisation. Different company have different suggestion to follows rules about supply
chain management . It depend on the company which is corrective supply chain management that
they have to followed. Supply chain management upgraded company condition also realised to
company that which position is they stand in global market (Christopher,2016). The supply chain
is responsible for getting those company which has to follows different prospects by authors.
Without a strong supply chain in place, company responsible for decrease in supply chain
without any helps of situation handle factors.

According to 'Prachi jueja' supply chain management is the of a network of all business
process and activities involving procurement of raw materials, manufacturing and distribution
management of finished goods.
Supply chain management is also called providing the right product, at right time at right
place , at the right cost to the customer. It is a process of all activity that in business influence

demand and supplies are managed. Sourcing of raw materials and supply's right quality of
materials . The finished goods out of these different factory , it is important that company have
to refresh its supply chain in different countries of local markets, distributors, retailers and finally
to end with customer .
According to Diann daniel ' supply chain management is the broad rang of activities
required to plan , control and execute a products flows, from acquiring raw material and
production though distribution to the final customer , in the most streamlined and cost-effective
way possible.
Supply chain management are critical backbone to business organization today. It is very
wide process to Handel and implements in the organization. It is controls production raw
material selection and products flows (Wang and Cullinane, 2015). After that checking the
quality of product its distribute with suppliers and finally to customer.
According to Burnett, and Forester supply chain management was frequently used but the
concept had inherited a multiplicity of meanings.
Supply chain consisted of a line of actor who are in a dependent relationship with one
other. And through which material, payment and information flow. But this could be seen as
traditional definition of logistics.
By analyzing the views it can be stated that supply chain management is the process of
different activity that have analyzing productivity, raw material, the consumption of customer
and the suppliers which is distributing in finally customer. Moreover, it is the most streamlined
and effective definition that implements by any organization to improves their business with
effective stand in market structured. This types of changes by definition is to implements not
always in longs terms

Q2. Explaining how supply chain strategies should be aligned with corporate strategies.
Public or private sector adopts the different techniques and strategies for aligning the
with different corporate strategies with the help of metrics, analytic, and other indicators of
performance. Supply chain strategy should meet the needs of market strategies and need and
wants of the customers as well. Today's current competitive market company design different

they need to make their own strategies. Another term which helps to express the supply strategies

companies who already set the benchmark for other competitors for example Deloitte & Touche.
These are the successful companies by synchronizing overall business strategies. These
companies are highly generated 78 % profit in a year. These complexity masters adopts the
holistic approach to align the organization work and approachable target goals. There are many
examples of complexity masters who gain competitive advantage. That makes the proper
changes and long lasting performance.
It also provides the best approachable target goals on order to get the needs of the
organizational goals. The best examples of big giants are Walmart and Toyota are great
examples of this approach. They are the only one who make the best approachable target goals
ion order to take the long lasting effects. This makes the best approachable and long lasting
effectiveness goals. These are the big firms has been given great impact on the overall market or
on the strategic alignment principle (Sukdeo, Vermeulen and Pretorius, 2016). Manufacturing
supply chain includes planning, material sourcing, engineering design and manufacturing supply
8

chains. It includes large organization. Apart from that, it also helps to take care the organization
goals and best performing results.
Corporate strategies are the strategies that makes the business portfolios approach to

from the corporate strategies to make productive product outcomes and goals. Such as people,
capital etc. on the contrary, supply chain strategy is the long term process of flow of information,
products and money. Which is more reliable and confident and energetic growth. Tin terms of
supply chain strategy is that to adopt the current demand and growth in terms of making target
opportunities and better supply chain management goals. Business should adopt strategies on the
basis of current demand and insight shaping of perfect knowledge (Sukdeo, Vermeulen and
Pretorius, 2016). This strategy helps business to mitigate the suppliers risk, natural disasters,
political upheaval etc. it gives the long lasting effects. Overall, it brings the long lasting
effectiveness in terms of making good goals.
Adding to more, another strategy of supply chain management is that build an adaptive
agile supply chain for rapid planning and integrated execution. That helps to maintained the
proper effective planning necessary needs. Every origination or industry should adopt most
appreciating challenging growth. Overall, it brings new major challenges growth in order to meet

customers and technological developments. Strategic technologies and fast making performance

goals and best productive nature of growth. This makes the bet approachable target goals.
Overall, it takes the best approachable target goals.
Q3. Justify weather private sector apply the principles of sustainability in its procurement of
goods and services.
Sustainability procurement is the process where organization can easily meet the needs
for goods and services by utilizing the all resources in order to make sure to enhance the value of
money on a whole life basis in terms of generating benefits not only profit making for the
company. This is the meaning of sustainability in procurement. It has been seen that from last
few years about the impacts of suppliers on the environment society. This is the factor and helps

procurement is the necessary process or goals to make the proper implementing contemporary
commercial practices show the business organization (Kerzner and Kerzner, 2017). Makes the
proper effective planning and goals. This helps company to implement all given factors and

Private sector should apply this principle in order to get know about the different needs of
the different customers. Prioritization should needs to be understand for the company this helps
to retain the uncertain risk factors that might be effect full to the company. This principle helps
to mapped the future risk and helps to give contingency plans as well to private sectors. This
principle is beneficial for the private sector (McCormack and Johnson, 2016). In earlier time
sustainable procurement is the public sector initiative that helps him to take care of the
organization goals. This money takes the long term process in order to meet the needs of the
organization goals.
