As the globalisation of industries continues and as supply chains consolidate and start competing as entire chains rather than as individual entities, so will the requirement to manage the supply chain in an integrated endto- end way, intensify. In undertaking the application of Supply Chain Management concepts, companies are endeavouring to improve their business’s performance. Specifically they are trying to improve their customer service offer and the delivery of that offer. They are trying to reduce costs and improve their working capital, asset utilisation and intra-supply-chain generated feed usage. This paper describes the progress that BHP Steel has made in understanding the logistical processes that are used to manage its supply chains and importantly, to identify and understand all of the feed-forward and feedback linkages that are necessary to enable that supply chain management to be most effective. Ideas for further work are also presented.
