Week One Discussion 1
The purpose of a Discussion is to foster a conversation among students for everyone to gain a deeper appreciation for the course content.
Each week contains multiple Discussions that you are required to address. Post your weekly contributions commenting on the key issues and also comment on contributions of two of your colleagues.
Contributions must display original thinking and good knowledge of the subject matter, including links and references to sources used to back up your arguments.
1. Your contribution must be a Substantial Contributions. A Substantial Contribution is a posting that adds value to the conversation by providing relevant different views or a personal relevant experience. A point of view from an authority on the subject is also a substantial contribution.
2. Postings such as: I agree with Joe, ……… and repeating what Joe has already said…are not substantial contributions and do not add value to the discussion. This person in simply using someone else's contribution, not her/his own. If you agree with someone, explain why and provide new information.
3. Provide links and references of resources used. Expert sources add credibility to your statements and provide new views on the subject.
4. This is a business course. Use professional business language. Provide facts and quantitative information such as figures (numbers), statistics, charts, graphs, to justify your arguments.
Consider "Subscribing" to your Thread in order to receive email notices anytime someone writes back to you!
Why is it important that supply chain management processes be both cross-functional and cross-firm? In your answer address the problems associated with functional silos and corporate silos.

The Need for a Process Assessment
The assessment helps bring the right parties to the table and provides a forum for a cross-functional discussion.
The assessment enables management to benchmark the practices of the firm with those prescribed in the framework.
The assessment helps managers prioritize improvement opportunities identified.

How The Tool Works
Each process has its own assessment tool.
Each process is broken-down into its sub-processes and each sub-process is assessed on several items.
Each item is given a:
Score: from 1 to 5, depending on with which statement the participant agrees most.
Importance: from 1 to 3, depending on how important the participant feels that item is for the success of the process.
Justification: a written explanation of why the participant scored the item the way they did.

Vendor Assurance: The Eight Steps
| Step 1 | Specifications. The concept of Vendor Assurance is explained to the vendor and the mutual commitment to Vendor Assurance established. The specifications of the goods or service to be purchased are explained and their content discussed. |
| Step 2 | Process Description. Good manufacturing practices and environmental responsibility are demonstrated by the vendor. A detailed description of the vendor’s normal process is provided in confidence and forms the basis of the Vendor File. |
| Step 3 | Risk Assessment. Jointly, hazards are identified, risks are quantified, and Critical Control Points associated with the vendor’s process are located. |
| Step 4 | Quality Management. Existing quality systems to minimize risks are assessed and documented. Where necessary, additional methods to monitor and control key areas are implemented. A commitment and positive attitude to quality improvement are demonstrated by the vendor. |
| Step 5 | Conformance. The vendor provides data that demonstrates his process is capable of consistently meeting his customers’ requirements. |
| Step 6 | Review. The periods’ activities are reviewed, confirming that the customers’ requirements are met, assuring incoming materials can be accepted based on vendor data, and identifying areas for improvement. |
| Step 7 | Mutual Development. Exchanged visits between Mars, Incorporated and the vendor by relevant personnel from all parts of both companies occur, as appropriate, to better understand one another’s processes, needs, limitations, specifications and quality performance. |
| Step 8 | Continue Commitment to Quality. Enduring business relationships are established which motivate vendors to continuously improve quality, costs, and responsiveness to our mutual benefits. This will be assured by regular audits as part of normal communications between partners. |
