Supply Chain Management at international level is much more complex than at local level. The following are some of the things that should be taken into consideration for managing global supply chain management system sufficiently.

Considering the whole team working together for a common goal instead of concentrating on individual group is the first step in making supply chain management efficient. This is because global supply chain will affect the whole groups inside the company.

Having someone with expertise in the managerial position capable of guiding in the decision-making process is the next element in global supply chain management. The person who does the consulting should be aware of the local environment having specialization in building a brand for the market in a specific region. Considering persons for each region well aware of the major factors and having contact with key people will be an advantage.

Managing time for meeting the targets of orders is the next element in managing global supply chain management. Time is an important factor as far as marketing overseas are concerned. This will become crucial if the raw elements are being imported from one country and end product being supplied to another country.

Managing the sales forecast effectively can keep the cost of products lower which increases the efficiency of the supply chain. Predicting how much products will be sold in the overseas market will help in moving the product from one country to another.

Assuming about the foreign location to be similar to the local market will be a mistake which reduces the efficiency of the supply chain. Only through careful analysis of the environmental conditions and behaviour of people in foreign countries, supply chain process should be implemented.
