The Objective of a Supply Chain

• Supply chain value is the difference between what
  the final product is worth to the customer and
  the costs the supply chain incurs in filling the
  customers request
• Supply chain profitability (or supply chain
  surplus) is the difference between the revenue
  generated from the customer and the overall cost
  across the supply chain

Maximize overall value created
14
The Objective of a Supply Chain

• Sources of supply chain revenue Customer
• Best Buy receives 60 from a customer for a
  wireless router
• Sources of supply chain cost Flows of
  information, products, and funds between any pair
  of stages in the supply chain
• Difference between 60 and the sum of all costs
  is the supply chain profit or supply chain surplus

Supply chain profitability is the total profit to
be shared across all supply chain stages and
intermediaries
Supply chain success should be measured by total
supply chain profitability, not profits at an
individual stage
