The product is selling at Walmart, Best Buy, and Amazon, and it's slated to comeout on Sony's PlayStation console. That's the end of the story, right? Not quite. In additionto focusing on the firms downstream that sell your product, you will also look upstream atyour suppliers and sideways at potential firms in which to partner. Your product's supply chain includes not only the downstream companies that actively sellthe product, but also all the other organizations that have an impact on it before, during,and after it's produced. Those companies include the providers of the raw materials yourfirm uses to produce it, the transportation company that physically moves it, and the firmthat helped build the web pages to promote it.Learning Resource6/29/22, 1:30 PM Channel Strategies for Delivering Valuehttps://learn.umgc.edu/d2l/le/content/683174/viewContent/26206636/View 2/22If you hired a programmer overseas to help write computer code for the game, theprogrammer is part of the product's supply chain. If you hired a company to processcopies of the game returned by customers, that company is part of the supply chain aswell. Large organizations with many products can have thousands of supply chainpartners. Service organizations also need supplies to operate, so they have supply chains,too.The process of designing, monitoring, and altering supply chains to make them as efficientas possible is called supply chain management. The term was coined by an Americanindustry consultant in the early 1980s, but it's an old idea. Part of Henry Ford's strategy inthe early 1900s was to extract as much efficiency (and money) as he could by takingownership of the supply chains for his automobiles. Ford owned the foundries thatconverted raw iron ore to steel for his cars. He also owned the plantations that grew therubber for his automobiles' tires, and the ships on which the materials and finishedproducts were transported (Bowersox & Closs, 2000).Today, many companies still take a narrow view of their supply chains; they look at supplychains mainly in terms of the costs they can save. Cost reduction is an important part ofsupply chain management. After all, if your competitors can produce their products at alower cost, they could put you out of business.Keep in mind, however, that a firm can produce a product so cheaply that no one will buyit because it's shoddy. That's why smart companies view their supply chains as an integralpart of their marketing plans. In other words, these companies also look at the ways theirsupply chains can create value for customers to give their firms a competitive edge.Today, the term value chain is sometimes used interchangeably with the term supplychain. The idea behind the value chain is that your supply chain partners should do morefor you than perform just basic functions; each one should help you create more value forcustomers as the product travels along the chain—preferably more value than yourcompetitors' supply chain partners can add to their products.Sourcing and ProcurementSourcing is the process of evaluating and hiring individual businesses to supply goods andservices to your business. Procurement is the process of purchasing those goods andservices. Sourcing and procurement have become a bigger part of a supply manager's job,in part because businesses keep becoming more specialized. Just like Ford's workersbecame more efficient by performing specialized tasks, so, too, have companies.6/29/22, 1:30 PM Channel Strategies for Delivering Valuehttps://learn.umgc.edu/d2l/le/content/683174/viewContent/26206636/View 3/22Ford Motor Company no longer produces its own tires. It buys them from tire producerslike Michelin and Goodyear. It's still possible to own your supply chain, though. Thediamond company De Beers owns its own mines, distributorships, and retail diamondstores. (De Beers, 2021). The problem is that it's costly to own multiple types ofcompanies and difficult to run them
