ISCM

The oil company was facing supply chain challenges due to a lack of integration between departments and software systems. It implemented an ERP system with integrated SCM modules to gain real-time visibility across the supply chain. This allowed optimized procurement, improved order fulfillment times, and increased customer satisfaction while generating real-time financial reports for better decision making. The ERP system centralized data to monitor inventory, production, and shipping in real-time, automatically generating purchase orders to reduce stockouts and ensure timely procurement. As a result, the company's supply chain management saw significant improvements in efficiency, cost reductions, and financial optimization.

Introduction

The supply chain management (SCM) process plays a crucial role in the operations of
companies that produce and distribute products or services. One critical aspect of SCM is
Integrated Supply Chain Management (ISCM), which involves the management of all
activities in the supply chain, from procurement to delivery. Enterprise Resource Planning
(ERP) is a software system that can integrate all aspects of SCM and provide real-time
data for decision-making. This case study focuses on the ISCM aspect of SCM and how
ERP can improve ISCM in an oil-producing company.

Background

An oil-producing company that operates in several countries was facing challenges in


managing its supply chain. The company had a complex supply chain that involved
multiple suppliers, production sites, and distribution channels. The lack of integration in
the supply chain was causing significant delays in product delivery, leading to customer
complaints and lost revenue. The company was using different software systems for each
department, leading to data inconsistencies and delays in decision-making.

The company decided to implement an ERP system to integrate its supply chain and
improve its ISCM strategy. The ERP system included modules for procurement,
production, inventory management, and shipping, and had a centralized database for all
data. The ERP system also had an ISCM module that integrated all aspects of the supply
chain, allowing for real-time monitoring and decision-making.

ISCM Strategy

The company's ISCM strategy involved optimizing all aspects of the supply chain, from
procurement to delivery, to maximize efficiency and minimize costs. The ERP system
allowed the company to collect data from different sources, including suppliers,
production sites, and distribution channels, and store it in a centralized database. This
allowed the company to have a 360-degree view of the supply chain, including inventory
levels, production progress, and shipping status.

The ISCM module of the ERP system allowed the company to manage all aspects of the
supply chain from a single platform. The ISCM module provided a dashboard that showed
all supply chain activities, their status, and the actions taken by the supply chain team.
This allowed the supply chain team to monitor and manage the supply chain in real-time,
making adjustments as needed to ensure optimal efficiency.
The ERP system also allowed the company to optimize procurement activities by
providing real-time data on supplier performance, inventory levels, and demand. The
system could generate purchase orders automatically based on predefined rules, ensuring
timely procurement and reducing the risk of stockouts.

Results

The implementation of the ERP system improved the company's ISCM strategy
significantly. The integration of different departments and software systems allowed for
real-time monitoring of inventory levels, production progress, and shipping status. The
system could also generate real-time reports and forecasts, allowing the company to
make data-driven decisions and optimize its supply chain.

The ERP system also reduced the time required to fulfill customer orders. The system
could track customer orders from the time of placement to delivery, allowing for timely
and accurate delivery of orders. This reduced the number of customer complaints and
increased customer loyalty.

The ERP system also improved the company's financial management by providing real-
time data on costs and revenue. The system could generate financial reports and
forecasts, allowing the company to make informed decisions and optimize financial
performance.

Conclusion

ISCM is a critical aspect of SCM that involves the management of all activities in the supply
chain, from procurement to delivery. ERP systems can improve ISCM by integrating all
aspects of the supply chain, allowing for real-time monitoring and decision-making. This
case study demonstrates how an ERP system can improve a company's ISCM strategy by
providing a centralized database, real-time monitoring of the supply chain, and
optimization of procurement activities. The ERP system also improved the company's
financial management by providing real-time data on costs and revenue. The ERP system's
implementation resulted in significant improvements in the company's supply chain
management, resulting in increased efficiency, reduced costs,
