Supply Chain Management: Simulation on Order Penetration Points & Value Offering Points

Description   ABSTRACT Being face to face with the GATT, the Egyptian companies have to restate their business strategies. The foreign intruders have developed strategies in conducting their businesses. The Egyptian companies shall start to develop similar strategies, then more advanced ones in the future. The Egyptian population is known by its high consumption rates, especially the food. In the food business foreign companies are eager to inject their products into the Egyptian market. Going deeper in the food business, especially the dynamic food products, the majority of foreign companies adapt the Supply Chain Management Strategies. These strategies are based on partnerships and coordination between the producers, their suppliers, and their customers. They compete as a chain and not on an individual basis. The Egyptian Companies have two options. First, they start to imitate and follow the Supply Chain Strategies, and then be parts of the players. Second, they remain unchanged, and therefore, they turn to be followers, and even step out of the business. The research focus on the dynamic food products, having shelf lives of two weeks and six months. The research explores the actual results of the companies working in this field and their internal and external relationships, reflected on the coordination in conducting their businesses. Companies are the food manufacturers and their direct customers, the wholesales and the big retail chains. The acceptance of these companies to apply the Supply Chain Management concepts is then tested in the research.     Group   Mohamed Abdel Aziz El Aassar Excellent Profile     Tools   No Tools Assigned
