A Case Study of Amazon on Its Supply Chain Management


Supply chain strategy of Amazon 

Amazon has identified their customers as highly responsiveness. In order to respond with high uncertainty demand and availability of products, the four main components drive the outcome of Amazon are having several distribution centres as a storage facilities, multi-tier inventory management, highly efficiency transportation and implement information systems to provide real time information within its supply chain. All of these factors explain how both strategies of Amazon are fit together and that makes Amazon’s supply chain successful. Inventory outsourcing The advantage of outsourcing is to help the company to focus on its core activities and cost savings (Bucki N.D.). Amazon is one of the companies that need to gain those benefits from inventory outsourcing. However, there is another side of outsourcing deals as well. Chandra (2008) argued that the company should not outsource even it was not their core activities when the demand level is increasing. The company is able to optimize the service if the stock is owned and managed efficiently. So Amazon decided to outsource only some part of its inventory in order to mitigate risks and optimize services. The products that are frequently purchased or popular were keeping and managing in-house while other products are stocked by distributors. The products will be shipped after Amazon has requested. The company acted as a trans-shipment centre.

Supply chain management plays a crucial role in Amazon’s success. The company’s primary goal is to offer one stop service so that customers can find everything on Amazon’s website and the company will deliver it to the buyer’s place within the promised time. In order to do this, the company needs cooperate with partners to construct multi-tier inventory systems to provide nearly unlimited amount of goods. Moreover, it needs effective distribution networks to deliver merchandise to the customers on time. All of these reflect the main strategy of Amazon to provide high responsiveness to the customers.
