In the name of ALLAH, The Most Gracious and The Most Merciful,

For our eleven post, we would like to share about supply partnership and supply chain power.

What is supply chain partnership?

Supply chain partnership is a relationship formed between two independent entities in supply channels to achieve specific objectives and benefits, and it is these partnerships that form the essential building blocks of supply chain management. Partnership is a type of business organization in which two or more individuals pool money, skills, and other resources, and share profit and loss in accordance with terms of the partnership agreement. In absence of such agreement, a partnership is assumed to exit where the participants in an enterprise agree to share the associated risks and rewards proportionately.

The benefits of partnership ?
* The main benefit of partnership is IMPROVE QUALITY.

1) To obtain competitive advantage by good collaboration.
2) Improve communication.
3) Company stability increase.
4) Better product design.
5) Reduce time.
6) Easy to make decisions.
7) Improve reaction to the customer changes.
8) Reduce cost.
9) Reduce risk.
10) Increase profitability.
11) Increased shared technology.

Many types of relationship intensity such as Discrete arm's length transaction, Special influence transaction, Partnership 1,2,3, Joint venture and Vertical integration.

1) Discrete arm's length transaction.
  - short term relationship.
  - open to many supplier.
  - relationship incurred during transaction.

2) Special influence transaction.
  - special treat to the regular customer.
  - for example : customer A and customer B, a company B always buy things with a lot of close             company, so the company is providing more services to the company B against a company because     there is a good relationship between each other.

3) Partnership 1
  - short term relationship.
  - single scope.
  - 3-5 years.
  - handle only one task.

Partnership 2

 - multiple scope.
 - relationship between up to 10 years.
 - two different company merge and work together.
 - control not only transportation, but also control packaging, warehousing, etc.

Partnership 3
 - when a partner he had a problem he will help to solve the problem.
 - combine two company.
 - no has limit time.
 - no contract.
 - need each other.
 - independent and difficult to replace extension and themselves.

4) Joint ventures
 - collaboration to each other.
 - for example : The company has share with the other company such as Proton has a share with            Mitsubishi.

5) Vertical integration
 - whole process to be operate.
 - take over the transportation process either direct purchase or create your own.
 - for example : Either buy direct tiong nam own or manage transport tiong nam.
 - control their own.

The risk of supplier relationship :

• Loss of partnership control.
• Unlimited liability.
• Lack of harmony.
• Disagreement.
• Partnership may actually open the weaker party up to negative.
• Heavy reliance on one partner can be disastrous if the partner does not meet expectations.

In the name of Allah, The Most Gracious and The Most Merciful,

Technology development increasingly impressive suitable to our lifestyle more busy with any activities. We more prefer to choose or buy goods using online transaction better than going to supermarket or store. The most popular online transaction is Alibaba.com, eBay, Zalora, mudah.com and so on. Today I want to share you about E-procuments.

ONLINE TRANSACTION

 WHAT IS E-PROCREMENT?

E-Procurement stands for electronic procurement known as a process of buying and selling of product and services using electronic system such as internet and other company network either business-to-business or business-to-consumer or business-to-goverment. It is common use for orders, invoices and payments between buyer and seller. 

                                        

WHAT TYPE OF E-PROCUREMENT?

E-Procurement have two broad categories such as direct and indirect materials. Direct materials related to the production of the finished goods. To be purchased in quantity based on complicated product planning and control systems. Then, indirect materials related any services not directly involved in the production of finished good. Indirect materials have two categories. For example operating resources managements (MRO) where use for purchasing office equipment, furniture, computer and so on then maintenance repair and operations (MRO) where use for purchasing is concerned with critical maintenance and replacements parts and manufacturing equipment. 

WHAT BENEFIT WHEN WE USE E-PROCUREMENT?

1. Comunications

we can easier to us to find very details information. We want also communicate with supplier to order what we want for easy fully our demand. For supplier, we used for e-procument to collect any feedback from customer after we use the product. It will help to improve quality product and systems.

                                  

2. Savings Cost

No need to waste time and money queuing to buy at shop or supermarket.We continue to order from suppliers what we want to satisfaction.

SAVING MONEY

                                       

3. More Efficient

when we allow integration of supply chains and provide better organization and tracking of transaction records for easier data acquisition.

4. Reduce Lead Time

 When customer order, we continued to send the product as soon as possible. Without customer wait how long the product will be finished.

MORE TIME

                                              

5. Vary Selection
if we go to the shop, we just to choose what product are sold but in online transaction, we can see more product in short time  no geographical barriers as we can access at any store easily. Online shop usually offer a variety of colour and size for choice.

                                

6. Easy payments
Nowadays we don't need go to ATM machines to cash out the amount of money needed to pay for any purchased. Many website that you have to prepare payments services like e-commerce for easy customer to pay. Customer can pay that payments to internet banking with Mastercard and Visa Card, transfering for Bank or cash on delivery.

                           

7. Share idea
using the medium of internet (on line) as a 'shopping mall' is the current trend nowadays that can make a difference to us and the people around me. In this way, we can exchange ideas about the products we want. We can also ask customers who have bought the respond after use so that we do not make mistakes.

                                            


But sometimes purchasing using online transaction can give negative impacts to our life. I will share some disadvantages of E-Procurement.

1. Fraud
Not all websites can be trusted to do the purchase transaction. We must be careful as meaningful when looking to purchase goods or services while giving us information. This is because when the internet is at your fingertips everything is easily available especially Facebook. In this situation when we already pay bank in but we not yet receive the goods.



                           

2. Sizes
in this situation usually occur when we purchase t-shirt using online transaction. When we purchase by shop we must try to wear suitable or not but transaction we do not give back to the supplier.

3. Product damage
we already know when we use online transaction we must accept anything happen in you order especially when we purchase expensive product especially vase.

4. No warranty
Some purchase no receipts or proof of purchase will cause a user can not perform reclaimed when damage is occur
