Product versus Service Supply Chains Comparison Paper
Both manufacturing and service organizations face challenges of maintaining inventory throughout the supply chain. Managing the supply chain for each type of organization poses similar yet distinct issues. To compete better in the global market place the ability to understand the importance of distinguishing the factors that influence a service organizations forecasting and resourcing decisions as opposed to a manufacturing origination as it applies to sales and the supply chain is important. This paper will evaluate how supplying a service rather than a product impacts forecasting and organization resourcing decisions. The implications for both manufacturing and service companies when forecasts are significantly different will also be discussed. In addition, as a result, of these differences, the adjustments an organization must make to inventory practices will be reviewed. Finally, in an attempt to satisfy customer service, an evaluation of how general inventory logistics considerations will be made to ensure that organizations remain successful in a global marketplace.
