    What can Supply Chain Management do?

    Estimated that the grocery industry could save $30 billion (10% of operatingcost) by using effective logistics and supply chain strategies

    A typicalbox of cereal spends 104 days from factory to sale

    A typical carspends 15 days from factory to dealership

    Faster turnaround of the goods is better?

    Laura Ashley (retailer of women and children clothes) turns its inventory 10times a year five times faster than 3 years ago

    inventory is emptied 10 times a year, or an item spends about 12/10 months in theinventory.

    To be responsive, it relocated its main warehouse next to FedEx hub in Memphis, TE.

    National Semiconductorused air transportation and closed 6 warehouses, 34%increase in sales and 47% decrease in delivery lead time.

    Magnitude of Supply Chain Management

    Compaq estimates it lost $0.5 B to $1 B in sales in 1995because laptops were not available when and whereneeded

    P&G(Proctor&Gamble) estimates it saved retailcustomers $65 M (in 18 months) by collaborationresulting in a better match of supply and demand

    When the 1 gig processor was introduced by AMD(Advanced Micro Devices), the price of the 800 meg

    processor dropped by 30%

    Importance of SCM understood by some

    AMR Research: "The biggest issue enterprises face today is intelligent visibility of their

    supply chains-both upstream and down"

    Forrester Research:

    "Companies need to sense and proactively respond to unanticipated variationsin supply and demand by adopting emerging technologies such as intelligentagents. To boost their operational agility, firms need to transform their staticsupply chains into adaptive supply networks

    Gartner Group:

    By 2004, 90% of enterprises that fail to apply supply-chain managementtechnology and processes to increase their agility will lose their status aspreferred suppliers

    Open ended statement. Agility can be increased continuously.

    SCM Generated Value

    Minimizing supply chain costs

    while keeping a reasonable service level

    customer satisfaction/quality/on time delivery, etc.

    This is how SCM contributes to the bottom line

    SCM is not strictly a cost reduction paradigm!

    Importance of Supply Chain Management

    In 2000, the US companies spent $1 trillion (10% of GNP) on supply-related

    activities (movement, storage, and control of products across supply chains).Source: State of Logistics Report

    Push vs Pull System

    What instigates the movement of the work in the system?

    In Push systems, work release is based on downstream demandforecasts

    Keeps inventory to meet actual demand Actsproactively

    e.g. Making generic job application resumes today (e.g.: exempli gratia)

    In Pull systems, work release is based on actual demand or theactual status of the downstream customers May cause long delivery lead times

    Acts reactively

    e.g. Making a specific resume for a company after talking to the recruiter

    Strategies

    Marketing and sales strategy relates to positioning, pricing and

    promotion of products/services

    e.g. Never offer more than 40% discount

    e.g. EDLP = every day low price

    At Wal-Mart

    e.g. Demand smoothing via coupons

    BestBuy

    Supply chain management strategy relates to procurement,transportation, storage and delivery

    e.g. Never use more than 1 supplier for every input

    e.g. Never expedite orders just because they are late

    e.g. Always use domestic suppliers within the sales season not in advance.

    Loosing the strategic fit: Webvan

    Webvan started a merger with HomeGrocer in Sept 2000 and

    completed in May 2001.

    Declared bankruptcy in July 2001. Why?

    Webvan was so behemoth that could deliver anything to anyone anywhere

    that it lost sight of a more mundane task: pleasing grocery customers dayafter day.

    Short to midterm cash mismanagement. Venture capital of $1.2 B run out.

    Merger costs: duplicated work force, integration of technology, realignment

    of facilities.

    Peapod has the same business model but more focused in terms of

    service and locations. It actually survives with its parent company

    Royal Aholds (Dutch Retailer) cash.

    Delivers now at a fee of $6.95 within a day.

    5. Sourcing

    Role in the supply chain

    Set of processes required to purchase goods and services in a supply chain

    Supplier selection, single vs. multiple suppliers, contract negotiation

    Role in the competitive strategy

    Sourcing is crucial. It affects efficiency and responsiveness in a supply chain

    In-house vs. outsource decisions- improving efficiency and responsiveness

    TI: More than half of the revenue spent for sourcing.

    Cisco sources: Low-end products (e.g. home routers) from China.

    Components of sourcing decisions In-house versus outsource decisions

    Supplier evaluation and selection

    Procurement process:

    Every department of a firm buy from suppliers independently, or all together.

    EDS to reduce the number of officers with purchasing authorization.

    6. Pricing

    Role in the supply chain

    Pricing determines the amount to charge customers in a supply chain

    Pricing strategies can be used to match demand and supply

    Price elasticity: Do you know yours?

    Role in the competitive strategy Use pricing strategies to improve efficiency and responsiveness

    Low price and low product availability; vary prices by response times

    Amazon: Faster delivery is more expensive

    Components of pricing decisions Pricing and economies of scale

    Everyday low pricing versus high-low pricing

    Fixed price versus menu pricing, depending on the product and services

    Packaging, delivery location, time, customer pick up

    Bundling products; products and services

    Major Obstacles to Achieving Fit

    SC is big:

    Variety of products/services

    Spoiled customer

    Multiple owners (Procurement, Production, Inventory,Marketing) / multiple objectives

    Globalization

    Local optimization and lack of global fit

  • 7/28/2019 scm introduction.ppt

    58/75

    Dealing with Multiple Owners / Local Optimization

    Information Coordination

    Information sharing / Shyness / Legal and ethical issues

    Contractual Coordination

    Mechanisms to align local objectives with global ones

    Coordination with (real) options

    Rare in the practice

    Without coordination, misleading reliance on metrics:

    Average safety inventory, Average incoming shipment size, Average

    purchase price of raw materials, Revenue

    Major Obstacles to Achieving Fit

  • 7/28/2019 scm introduction.ppt

    59/75

    Major obstacles to achieving fit

    Instability and Randomness:

    Increasing product variety

    Shrinking product life cycles

    Information Strategy

    Quick access to up to date information (as opposed to data): In 1991, SEJ implemented Integrated Service Digital Networkto link stores, headquarter,

    DCs and suppliers

    Customer checkout process Clerk records the customers gender, (estimated) age and purchased items. These Point of Sales

    (POS) data are transmitted to database at the headquarters.

    Store hardware: Store computer, POS registers linked to store computer, Graphic OrderTerminals, Scanner terminals for receiving

    Daily use of the data Headquarters aggregate the data by region, products and time and pass to suppliers and stores by

    next morning. Store managers deduce trend information.

    Weekly use of the data Monday morning, the CEO chairs a weekly strategy formulation meeting attended by 100

    corporate managers.

    Tuesday morning, strategies are communicated to Operation Field Counselors who arrive inTokyo on Monday night.

    Tuesday afternoon, regional elements (e.g. weather, sport events) are factored into the strategy.Tuesday nights, field counselors return back to their regions.

    Information Analysis of POS Data

    Analysis of Sales for product categories over time

    SKU (stock keeping unit)

    Waste or disposal

    10 day (or week) sales trend by SKU

    Sales trends for new product

    In the early 1990s, half-prepared fresh noodle sales were going up,

    new fresh noodle products were quickly developed

    Sales trend by time and day

    Different sales patterns for different sizes of milk at different times of the day results inrearrangement of the milks in the fridge. Extreme store micromanagement.

    Let us speculate: Flavored milks are put in front of the pure milks in the evening (or the morning?).

    List of slow moving items

    About half of 3000 SKUs are replaced by new ones every year

  • 7/28/2019 scm introduction.ppt

    73/75

    Facilities Strategy

    Limited storage space at stores which have only 125-150 m2 space Frequent and small deliveries to stores

    Deliveries arrive from over 200 plants.

    Products are grouped by the cooling needs

    Combined delivery system: frozen foods, chilled foods, room temperature and hot foods.

    Such product groups are cross-docked at distribution centers (DC). Food DCs store noinventory.

    A single truck brings a group of products and visits several stores within a geographical region

    Aggregation: No supplier (not even coke!) delivers direct

    The number of truck deliveries per day is reduced by a factor of 7 from 1974 to 2000.Still, at least 3 fresh food deliveries per day. Goods are received faster with the use ofscanners.

    Have many outlets, at convenient locations, close to where customers can walk

    Focus on some territories, not all: When they locate in a place theyblanket (a.k.a.clustering) the area with stores; stores open in clusters with corresponding DCs.

    844 stores in the Tokyo region; Seven Eleven had stores in 32 out of 47 prefectures in 2004. Nostores in Kobe.

    The Present and the Future

    Is food preparation a good idea at 7-eleven locations? e.g. Compare microwave heating vs. salad preparation.

    Why SEJ does not allow direct delivery from suppliers to retailers?

    Point out which of the following strategies can also be used in US (or Taiwan) Information strategy

    Facilities strategy

    Discuss the differences between the Japanese and US (or Taiwanese) consumers withregard to Frequency and amount of grocery purchase

    Use of credit cards vs. cash for purchase

    7-eleven inventory turnover rate is 50 in Japan and 19 in the USA.

    7-eleven growing rapidly in the US so it aims to be a web depot in both the US and Japan.Does this make sense from a supply chain perspective?

    Cost vs. Responsiveness Business strategy

    What is the risk of micro-matching strategy?

    No direct deliveries to SEJ, what is the potential risk of this strategy if used in the USA?
