الملخص: | As educators involved in the teaching of logistics and the supply chain,
particularly in the context of retailing, it is increasingly hard to get over to
students how much things have changed in the retail supply chain, but
also how many challenges remain. Many approaches and results are
taken for granted and it is assumed that supply chains have always been
at the forefront of retail innovation and have always delivered the goods.
Nothing of course could be further from the truth. For a long time, the
supply of products into retail outlets was controlled by manufacturers
and was very much a hit or miss affair. Consumers had to put up with the
product they found (or did not find) on the shelves and retailers and
manufacturers operated in something of an efficiency vacuum. This situation
has now been transformed. Retailers have recognized the need to
have more involvement in supply chains and noted that benefits can be
achieved in both service levels and cost reduction. Massive efforts have
been made to reorganize and reprioritize activities in moving products
from production to consumption. Notwithstanding the major strides
made, some challenges remain, and new issues have emerged. |
