SMR was the final module to take in the past. Now it becomes module 1 of the new part 2 exam. Is it tough? Well, in a sense, yes. It is tough because there is no fixed answer to the test questions. You are asked to choose the best possible answer among all potentially OK answers. Also, most questions are long and with complicated scenarios to confuse you. To pick up the "politically correct" answers you have to use your business sense to make judgment on a case by case basis. SMR is all about supply-side management at a higher global and strategic level. What is serious supply management all about? Accenture has developed seven principles of supply-chain management: 1. Segment customers based on their service needs. 2. Design the logistics network based on service requirements. 3. Listen to the signals of market demand and plan accordingly. 4. Differentiate products based on actual consumer demand. 5. Strategically manage the sources of supply. 6. Develop a supply-chain-wide technology strategy. 7. Adopt measures that apply to every link in the supply chain. Because of advances in manufacturing and distribution, the cost of developing new products and services is dropping, and time to market is speeding up. This has resulted in increasing customer demands, local and global competition, and increased pressure on the supply chain. To stay competitive, companies must reinvent themselves so that the supply chain-sourcing and procurement, production scheduling, order fulfillment, inventory management, and customer care-is no longer a cost-based back-office exercise, but rather a flexible operation designed to effectively address today's challenges. If you have been specializing in manufacturing or shop floor functions, it is now the time to move yourself to a managerial position - you need to see things from a broader MBA style perspective.

A supply chain is a network of retailers, distributors, transporters, storage facilities and suppliers that participate in the sale, delivery and production of a particular product. The concept of supply chain often involves backward integration - acquiring ownership of one's supply chain (in the hope of reducing supplier power and thus reducing input costs). The four major functional components are: demand planning manufacturing planning and scheduling supply planning transportation planning The reconfigured module 1 BSCM exam covers the basics. The exam attempts to test your basic understanding towards supply chain and the various PIM (production and inventory management) concepts. Many people consider this exam as the easiest one. To assure exam success, you need to read and learn as much as possible. Our ExamFOCUS notes provides knowledge material to enhance your exam readiness - we help answer those tough questions that cover advanced knowledge and concepts not commonly found in the standard study material. Still, the coverage of the exam is huge. Expecting full and complete coverage of all the knowledge items from a single source is unrealistic. You are therefore advised to use this book together with other study resources for the best possible preparation!
