University Name: Supply Chain Finance - Week 1 Cornell Notes

This assignment presents Cornell Notes from Week 1, focusing on Supply Chain Finance (SCF). The notes cover key aspects such as the growth of SCF in transaction banking, the importance of maximizing working capital, and the role of cross-border supply chains. The student explores how SCF helps organizations fund themselves, improve liquidity, and optimize financial performance by leveraging supply chain relationships. The assignment references articles discussing the use of SCF, its integration with inventory management, and the benefits of SCF for financial performance. The notes summarize the core ideas from the readings, including the impact of SCF on financial value and risk assessment.

Title Information
Cross Border Supply During this first week topic, I learnt that there
is a growth of importance for the Supply Chain
Finance or SCF in transaction banking. I learnt
that SCF refers to the use of financial practices,
instruments, as well as technologies in order to
ensure that there is maximization of the
working capital as well as liquidity that has
been tied up in the supply chain processes
Bruijn and others (315) assert that it is through
the Cross Border Supply topic that I was able
to learn that the use of SCF has gained
momentum in not only the local transactions
but also in the domestic or local trade
transactions.
Funding the Organization Based on this topic in week 1, I was able to
learn that Supply Chain Finance has indeed
become an “emerging phenomenon” that
makes it possible for organizations across the
world to fund themselves using their “supply
chain” relations. Through reading this article, I
was able to discern that SFC was made
possible through not only the integration of the

shrinking inventories but also through faster
collection of money from clients and delaying
the payments that are due to the suppliers.
Through reading the article, I was able to learn
that Jerry and Rogers (35) effective utilization
of the Inventory Theory can be used in
demonstrating how the SCF can benefit the
organization through having both longest and
largest lasting impact on the financial
performance of the organization.
“Risk Assessment of Supply Chain Finance
with intuitionistic Fuzzy Information”
Through reading this article, I was able to learn
that supply chain finance has been regarded as
the newest finance model that has made the
entire industry chain to effectively develop the
financing services. Through this week 1 article,
I was able to learn that SCF’s main aim is the
combination of companies, institutions, as well
as third party logistic organizations in order to
attain win-win situations. Chun-Lian (31)
asserted that the Supply chain is thus
developed in order to ensure that there is
maximization of an organization’s financial
