解説
問 22
Incorrectア
Evaluating a company's current strengths and weaknesses and deciding which company to ally with in order to make up for its weaknesses describes decision-making based on alliances in business strategy and on SWOT analysis, which differs from SCM, whose purpose is information sharing across the supply chain.
- イ
正解 SCM (Supply Chain Management) is a management method and information system that links the entire supply chain—from procurement of raw materials through production, inventory, logistics, sales, and consumption—not only across departments within a company but also including its business partners, so as to optimize the whole. Choice “イ” states that, among the departments and companies involved from production to consumption, information such as production, inventory, and sales is mutually shared and managed to reduce distribution inventory and improve customer satisfaction; this expresses exactly the very purpose of SCM, namely sharing information across the whole supply chain to eliminate waste, so it is correct.
Incorrectウ
Clarifying at which point of the series of corporate activities—procurement, development, manufacturing, sales, and service—the value provided to customers is created describes value chain analysis, and is not the purpose of SCM, which shares and manages inventory and sales information across the whole supply chain.
Incorrectエ
For a company that handles many kinds of products, deciding the most efficient and effective combination of manufacturing and sales in order to maximize profit describes optimization of the product mix (an optimal production and sales plan found with methods such as linear programming), which differs from SCM, whose purpose is information sharing across the supply chain.
ここがポイント
- SCM (Supply Chain Management) is a mechanism that links the supply chain from procurement to consumption across departments and companies, shares information such as production, inventory, and sales to optimize the whole, and thereby reduces distribution inventory and improves customer satisfaction.
- Distinguish it from similar management methods: alliance/SWOT (ア), value chain analysis (ウ), and product mix optimization (エ) each have a different purpose, so do not confuse them.
