Given the trend of globalization, the competition between domestic enterprises and foreign enterprises is inevitable; and the competitive advantage comes from having an efficient supply chain. In operation, as a company optimizes its supply chain, financial costs would decrease; it also helps to improve flexibility, time efficiency and quality of service.
Supply chain management is associated with almost all the operations of manufacturing enterprises, from planning and managing the process of finding inputs, purchasing, producing goods, managing logistics, etc. to coordinating with partners, suppliers, intermediaries, services providers and customers. In fact, many famous global brand names such as Apple, Amazon, Unilever, Intel, Nike, Walmart, Samsung, etc. are the best supply chains all over the world. In Vietnam, the closed supply chain is being applied at manufacturing corporations in the sectors of livestock, garment, nutritional food producing, real estate, etc., i.e. Vinamilk Co., Phong Phu garment Co., Nha Be garment Co., etc. in regards with controlling inputs, goods with competitive prices, as well as ensuring good and fresh products sold to consumers. Therefore, nowadays there are many enterprises investing in the supply chain to boost their competitive advantages in both the Vietnam market and overseas markets.
