The Case for Cloud-based Supply Chain Management Today was authored by leading industrial journalist, Thomas R. Cutler. Cutler asserts process improvement at the supply chain level is a new concept. For more than twenty years the idea of Lean Manufacturing was literally on the manufacturing plant floor. Indeed it was this ground level examination which gave way to ERP and MRP. Over the past decade supply chain improvement projects have ranked among the top initiatives for corporations; all executives recognized that a well-managed supply chain made measureable contributions to the bottom-line performance of a business.

Cutler asserts the basic rationale for cloud-based Supply Chain Management (SCM) technology solutions has not changed in the past decade.

What has changed dramatically in the past several years, particularly in the past twenty-four months, is the market receptivity for cloud-based SCM solutions.

The Union of Concerned Scientists recently noted that while a variety of facilities generate electricity, the location of these electricity generators – and their distance from end users – varies widely. Certain types of power plants, such as coal and nuclear power plants, have little short-term flexibility in adjusting their electricity output; it takes a long time to ramp up or down their electricity output. Other plants, such as natural-gas fired plants, can be ramped up very quickly, and are often used to meet peaks in demand. At any given time, there is also always a "reserve margin," a specified amount of backup electricity generating capacity that is available to compensate for potential forecasting errors or unexpected power plant shutdowns. Electricity demand, supply, reserve margins, and the mix of electricity generating technologies is constantly monitored and managed by grid operators to ensure that everything runs smoothly. Manufacturers play a similar game with inventory. This is one of many features appearing in Forecast Errors Newsletter.
