Dear Saad Masood,
Supply Chain Management is end-to-end process. We need to connect supplier's suppliers to the customers. The chain is as below:
Supplier's supplier --> supplier --> procurement --> production --> warehouse --> Distributors or dealers (if any) --> Customer or end user
Making production manager to report Head SCM is quite novel concept. I don't find anything wrong in that. In fact it would bring seamlessness in the operations. Head SCM will be able to identify delay in operations and inventory blockage in every process or sub-process.
On the flip side, you need to have Head SCM who knows the operations very well. Secondly, he must be very good at mathematical and statistical methods as well. Thirdly, overall he needs to be mature person. Else this model may be a flop also.
I request you to raise this query in another networking forum
World's Largest Professional Network | LinkedIn In this group, there are several forums like "Supply Chain Today", "Procurement Professionals", "SCM Experts" etc. You will get replies from SCM experts.
Ok...
