No Comments
We may already know term of supply chain from the perspective of how an end consumer of milk gets it in his or her mils pot. Milk is one of type products that from husbandry. Hence, how to distribute this products to customer.

Firstly, we should know clearly the definition of Supply Chain Management (SCM). I can define that SCM is the system that run integrate in each sector for serving customer need. We can divide in three sections; input, process, and output. Input means that way to find raw material that can be used to next step or phase. We will need a special attention in this step because this step will give impacts to another phase. Process is talking about how we produce the products. In this section tells more about method or technique to optimize productivity of worker and machine. The last step is about output. We call it finish products that already produced should distribute to consumer. We should concern in distribution network and distribution channel.

We are ever know that farming products have special characteristics. It can identify as perishable products. It means that lead time of this products very short. The distribution network must provide with a short distribution channel. After the products was producing by company. The products should deliver to customer directly if possible or with one until two tiers. Information exchange also involve in this framework, both of distributors and manufactures. The key success implementation of ASCM not only depend on manufactures, but also depend on each stakeholders that involve in this process.


Therefore, ASCM still has great opportunity to create supply chain network running effectively. It is involve method, technique, machine and knowledge, which can support this network later.
