About Your Presenter
Introductions
• Your Name
• Your Organization Name
• Your Role in the Organization
• Industry (or Industries) Your Organization is in?
• Name One SCM Challenge or Opportunity You Have Today
• Question – Tell us Something that Recently Made you Smile
Agenda
• Overview of Michigan State/APICS Study
• Primary Concerns Regarding SCM Management
• How Modern SCM Management Solutions Can Help Address
These Concerns
• Embracing Change to Keep Up With The Competition
• Open Discussion
– Do these issues resonate within your organization?
– What are your other areas of concern/focus?
Michigan State/APICS Supply Chain Council Findings
• Capacity/Resource Availability
• Talent
• Complexity
• Threats/Challenges
• Compliance
• Cost/Purchasing Issues.
The Modern Supply Chain World
• Change is Constant – Must be prepared to move quickly
• Increasing Globalization – sales, operations, and procurement
• Being connected to customers, suppliers, logistics providers
• Expectation is for accurate information in real time and with
self-service or system-to-system interaction
• Concepts Like Lean, Theory of Constraints, ISO, and Six Sigma
are even more important
• Either keep up or the competition will pass you by
Features of Modern SCM Systems
• Scalable – Able to grow/shrink as needed
• Agile – Able to adapt to changing environments and standards
• Intuitive – Must be easy for employees – and increasingly trading
partners – to learn and use
• Connected – Able to access core functions from anywhere. Built in
connectors to trading partners to exchange data
• Accurate – Data must be up-to-date and easily viewed
• Interactive – Must allow for exchange of data across the enterprise to
achieve optimum results
Components of Industry 4.0
• Big Data and Analytics
• Autonomous Robots
• Simulation
• Horizontal and Vertical Systems Integration
• Industrial Internet of Things
• Cybersecurity
• The Cloud
• Additive Manufacturing
• Augmented Reality
Why Cloud?
• Focus company energy on core competencies
• Easy to grow/shrink/adapt as workloads business strategies, or
organizational changes occur
• Difference between hosting a traditional on-premise ERP system in the
cloud versus a true Cloud SaaS solution
• Cloud solutions can more quickly react to regulatory change
• Cloud systems are built on latest technology with modern user
experience and greatest ability to integrate to other systems
• Delivered APIs can allow for customization/optimization of system
Just Having State-of-the-Art Systems Isn’t Enough
• Organization must embrace new tools and technologies
– Can’t be IT Department driven
– Don’t skimp on training
– Must invest in appropriate infrastructure
– Organization cannot operate in silos
• It’s not just having the system, but using it as a tool to help
drive organizational change
• Improper implementation can lead to disaster
Gradual Change is Possible
• We are past the era of monolithic ERP platforms
• Modern Cloud solutions can be implemented starting at the
edges and gradually augment or replace existing SCM modules
• Examples Include:
– Supply Chain Planning
– Logistics Management (Warehouse and Transportation)
– Product Lifecycle Management
– Internet of Things

Editor's Notes

  • #13: Not sure if this slide needs to be included or not. But, we may want it to establish my bona fides. The logos shown here are companies that I’ve done projects with over the past 20 years. Obviously not all of them are with Smart ERP. But, having this broad range lends credibility.
  • #14: Go round the room and do intros. This will help later when we have the roundtable discussion.
  • #16: These are the 6 top concerns listed in the APICS study. Details in separate talking points document. I’ve added some bullets in my talking points to augment some of the issues specifically mentioned in the study.
  • #17: These are my bullets. Details in Talking Points document. Use banking analogy of how ATMs have changed expectations. The bar is constantly being raised on service levels.
  • #18: These are things that are needed in modern SCM systems. Oracle Cloud hits these points. See talking points.
  • #19: Focus on Cloud, Big Data, Cybersecurity, and IIoT
  • #20: Feel it’s important to point out advantages of Cloud – SCM is traditionally resistant compared to other pillars like HCM and CRM. See talking points.
  • #21: Hammer home the point that the ERP/SCM system is just a tool. Give example of Hershey/SAP debacle resulting in $100 million in lost orders. See talking points.
  • #22: SCM folks are scared of big-bang cutover. Point out gradual change/smooth landing is possible. See talking points.
