In this knowledge era, Sustainable Competitive Advantage a firm has comes from what it “collectively knows”, how efficiently it uses what it knows and how readily it “acquires and uses new knowledge”.
Knowledge management (KM) provides an enabling framework to derive this advantage.
What Is Knowledge Management ?
K.S.Srinivasa MurtyDirector - IM 5M India Limited
What Is Knowledge Management ?
• KM involves developing and putting in place
an “enabling framework” for improving -
– Capture and location of current knowledge
– Sharing the current knowledge
– Creation of new knowledge, and
– Leveraging the knowledge
To strengthen business performance.
K.S.Srinivasa MurtyDirector - IM 5M India Limited
What Is Knowledge?
Knowledge is the human interpretation of data / information for potential action
Tacit Knowledge the sense making capability
Explicit Knowledge Embedded Knowledge
(Experience,past memories,hard to catalogue, document)
(Formal, codified,data bases, policy manuals, white papers etc.)
Essentially knowledge
is people based
K.S.Srinivasa MurtyDirector - IM 5M India Limited
Knowledge Management Is ...
increasing the capacity for effective action by
connecting people to people and
people to information
Capability building of an organization & its strategic partners’ - “Raising the floor / raising the ceiling”
K.S.Srinivasa MurtyDirector - IM 5M India Limited
What Does Leveraging “Collective Knowledge” Involve?
• Working in collaborative teams to deliver business excellence
• Developing and sharing “best practices”
• Faster replication of innovations through faster movement of knowledge through the organization / partners in extended supply chain
• Acquisition and sharing of “new knowledge”
• Managing organizational learning.
K.S.Srinivasa MurtyDirector - IM 5M India Limited
Key Knowledge Management Processes
– Linking people to people e.g. “communities of practice to share knowledge”
– Linking people to information / knowledge repositories / best practices e.g. Knowledge centres / Knowledge Portals
Building Blocks for KM
K.S.Srinivasa MurtyDirector - IM 5M India Limited
What Is A Knowledge Center?
-Repository of supply chain knowledge-Dissemination of best practices in supply chain-Upgradation of functional skills in supply chain
-A Place to search-A Place to post a query re Supply Chain
Need Teams to develop content
Key projects need documentation
Online courses development Storehouse of
functional knowledge
Distilled learnings in supply chain areas
Focussed functional training in supply chain

Knowledge Sharing culture
• The most important enabler for leveraging collective knowledge is the Organizational Culture
A Culture of Absolute Trust is the Essential Prerequisitefor Proactive Knowledge Sharing
K.S.Srinivasa MurtyDirector - IM 5M India Limited
How does one create The culture ?
• When you reward and recognize the value of sharing knowledge
• When Senior Management ‘Walk the Talk’. When Managers also become good ‘ Mentors ’
• When failures are treated as essential to
learning
K.S.Srinivasa MurtyDirector - IM 5M India Limited
How Does KM Support The Practice of Core Supply Chain Concepts and
Principles
Multi-party collaboration - Information
visibility and knowledge sharing
Best Practice adoption - Vendor
Transformation, Synchronized Planning,
Work Flow coordination, Postponement for
mass customization etc.
K.S.Srinivasa MurtyDirector - IM 5M India Limited
How Does KM Support The Practice of Core Supply Chain Concepts and
Principles
Capability building - managing
organizational learning - both the staff in
company’s own supply chain processes and
the staff of strategic partners’ (vendors, 3P
service providers and distributors.)
K.S.Srinivasa MurtyDirector - IM 5M India Limited
• Effective Knowledge Sharing is critical
for success in ---
– Vendor Transformation
– Outsourcing
– Supply Chain Benchmarking & Best
Practice identification
K.S.Srinivasa MurtyDirector - IM 5M India Limited
Vendor Transformation
• Vendor selection / development and the unique
way the relations are managed on an ongoing
basis
– pre-selection audits to establish capabilities and
potential synergies,
– post selection operational reviews, certification (
at different levels , reflecting the strength, depth
and maturity of relationships)
K.S.Srinivasa MurtyDirector - IM 5M India Limited
Vendor Transformation
• Knowledge sharing with strategic vendors’,
participation in new component and product
development etc.
• Identifying and setting cost savings targets for
key suppliers through cross corporate teams
(supplier & buyer organizations) / through
knowledge sharing.
K.S.Srinivasa MurtyDirector - IM 5M India Limited
Multi party collaboration & Information Visibility
The Internet is a compelling enabler for supply
chain integration. Businesses can use Internet to -
Gain global visibility
Inter-connect with their extended network of
trading partners for transparent communication.
(e.g, “Supplier net”)
Respond quickly to changing business conditions

Synchronized Planning Defines what is to be done with the shared
information
Joint design and execution of plans for product
introduction, forecasting and replenishment
E.g. CPFR initiative
Both the buyer and seller make use of the Internet
Share forecasts and detect major variances
Collaborate to reconcile differences
Eventually both have a common forecast and
replenishment plan

Workflow Coordination
Streamlined and automated workflow
activities between supply chain partner
Not just what is done with shared
information, but how
E.g. Procurement activities from a
manufacturer to supplier can be tightly
coupled to achieve efficiencies

New Business Models
The Internet makes possible whole new
approaches to conducting business
Even new business opportunities not
previously possible are made possible
E.g. Amazon running online operations for
major brick and mortar retailers such as
Target and Toys ‘R’ Us

Vendor Management Systems For Leveraging Expert Buyers’ Knowledge Non production goods & services (office equipment and supplies, spares, travel, Advertising, property management services, security services etc.) as well as production services (inbound and outbound logistics, design services, contract labor etc.) are often handled outside the procurement function. These expenditures typically receive little scrutiny and management control and could well be a gold mine of cost savings if there were ways to streamline the processes between a company and its vendors of these goods and services.
K.S.Srinivasa MurtyDirector - IM 5M India Limited
Vendor Management Systems For Leveraging Expert Buyers’ Knowledge Vendor management systems (VMS) are e-
commerce applications that streamline enterprise
buying processes by automating the procurement of
production and non-production goods and services. A VMS extends the expertise of a company’s best
buyers to the desk tops of business users through out
the many divisions and operating units of an
enterprise..By consolidating enterprise wide purchasing and
integrating processes with a few key suppliers , scale
and processing economies accrue to both buyer and
supplier.

Vendor Management Systems For Leveraging Expert Buyers’ Knowledge
• E- Auctions.
• Exchanges
• Specialized package solutions like Ariba

KM is - Connecting people to people in
collaborative teams. That is what is necessary
for the success of “vendor Transformation”,
effective “out-sourcing”.
KM is Best Practice identification and
sharing. That is what is key to performance
improvement in supply chain, establishing
appropriate matrices and monitoring the
performance is all about.
To Sum Up...
K.S.Srinivasa MurtyDirector - IM 5M India Limited
KM is collaborative team working to
leverage collective knowledge. That is what
we aim to achieve in the e-enabled Supply
chain systems, synchronized planning and
work flow co-ordination is all about.
If KM is all about capability building and
becoming a learning organization, that is
what is critical to effective supply chain
management.
To Sum Up...
K.S.Srinivasa MurtyDirector - IM 5M India Limited
While knowledge processes and IT are
important enablers to practice KM, they
don’t suffice for success. The key element is
to build appropriate culture of sharing and
learning. You can see why mere formal
adoption of supply chain practices like VMI,
JIT or adoption of integrated IT systems
won’t suffice for success in SCM. The most
important pre-requisite for success is
developing the collaborative culture.
