2. Note on the use of these slides These slides provide the
basic theory that I would like you to know. There are many more
techniques on the slides that came with the textbook, which are
also available on eFundi. As I talk you through this slide show,
please stop where you don't understand, go to either the textbook
(Heizer and Render) or the Heizer & Render slides and make sure
you understand them. If you still do not understand, on the first
page that you have to submit is space for you to tell me what you
do not understand so that I can cover it in class. Once you have
gone through the slides, go to the template on eFundi and prepare
your submissions for the next contact session.
4. Outcomes for today's contact OUTCOMES OF THEME K Demonstrate
a thorough understanding of supply chains by plotting the supply
chain of a real-life organisation Investigate and critically
analyse the strategic benefits of strategic supply chain design.
Effectively distinguish between the different methods of
determining the optimal facility positions. Critically discuss the
concept of mass customisation Demonstrate a thorough understanding
of the concepts by applying the theory to a real- life
organisation. OUTCOMES OF THEME L Understand service levels and be
able to the theory to real-life organisations Demonstrate a
thorough understanding of inventory management concepts by applying
the theory to a real-life organisation

6. What is a Supply Chain?
7. Bullwhip Effect Time Retailers Orders Time Wholesalers
Orders Time Manufacturers Orders The magnification of variability
in orders in the supply-chain A lot of retailers each with little
variability in their orders. can lead to greater variability for a
fewer number of wholesalers, and can lead to even greater
variability for a single manufacturer.
8. The Bullwhip Effect Consumer sales are predictable and
steady. Retailer orders start to show variability as lot sizes and
other factors have an impact. Farther up the supply chain
variability increases.
9. Supply Chain Management 1. Transportation vendors 2. Credit
and cash transfers 3. Suppliers 4. Distributors 5. Accounts payable
and receivable 6. Warehousing and inventory 7. Order fulfillment 8.
Sharing customer, forecasting, and production information Important
activities include determining

11. Global Supply Chain Issues React to sudden changes in parts
availability, distribution, or shipping channels, import duties,
and currency rates Use the latest computer and transmission
technologies to schedule and manage the shipment of parts in and
finished products out Staff with local specialists who handle
duties, freight, customs and political issues Supply chains in a
global environment must be able to
12. How Supply Chain Decisions Impact Strategy Low-Cost
Strategy Response Strategy Differentiation Strategy Suppliers goal
Supply demand at lowest possible cost (e.g., Emerson Electric, Taco
Bell) Respond quickly to changing requirements and demand to
minimize stockouts (e.g., Dell Computers) Share market research;
jointly develop products and options (e.g., Benetton) Primary
selection criteria Select primarily for cost Select primarily for
capacity, speed, and flexibility Select primarily for product
development skills Table 11.1
13. Make-or-Buy Decisions 1. Maintain core competence 2. Lower
production cost 3. Unsuitable suppliers 4. Assure adequate supply
(quantity or delivery) 5. Utilize surplus labor or facilities 6.
Obtain desired quality 7. Remove supplier collusion 8. Obtain
unique item that would entail a prohibitive commitment for a
supplier 9. Protect personnel from a layoff 10. Protect proprietary
design or quality 11. Increase or maintain size of company Reasons
for Making Table 11.4
14. Outsourcing Transfers traditional internal activities and
resources of a firm to outside vendors Utilizes the efficiency that
comes with specialization Firms outsource information technology,
accounting, legal, logistics, and production
15. Ethics in the Supply Chain Opportunities for unethical
behavior are enormous and temptations are high Many companies have
strict rules and codes of conduct that define acceptable behavior
Institute for Supply Management has developed a detailed set of
principles and standards for ethical behavior
16. Supply Chain Strategies Negotiating with many suppliers
Long-term partnering with few suppliers Vertical integration
Keiretsu Virtual companies that use suppliers on an as needed
basis
17. Managing the Supply Chain Mutual agreement on goals Trust
Compatible organizational cultures Integrating supply chains There
are significant management issues in controlling a supply chain
involving many independent organizations

20. Chapter 12 Theory Inventory management
21. The trade-off Risk of being out- of-stock Cost to carry
inventory
22. Inventory One of the most expensive assets of many
companies representing as much as 50% of total invested capital
Operations managers must balance inventory investment and customer
service
23. Functions of Inventory 1. To decouple or separate various
parts of the production process 2. To decouple the firm from
fluctuations in demand and provide a stock of goods that will
provide a selection for customers 3. To take advantage of quantity
discounts 4. To hedge against inflation
24. Types of Inventory Raw material Purchased but not processed
Work-in-process Undergone some change but not completed A function
of cycle time for a product Maintenance/repair/operating (MRO)
Necessary to keep machinery and processes productive Finished goods
Completed product awaiting shipment

Move Wait in queue Setup Run Output inspection be moved time for

26. Inventory Management How inventory items can be classified
How accurate inventory records can be maintained
27. ABC Analysis Divides inventory into three classes based on
annual dollar volume Class A - high annual dollar volume Class B -
medium annual dollar volume Class C - low annual dollar volume Used
to establish policies that focus on the few critical parts and not
the many trivial ones
29. ABC Analysis Policies employed may include More emphasis on
supplier development for A items Tighter physical inventory control
for A items More care in forecasting A items
30. Cycle Counting Items are counted and records updated on a
periodic basis Often used with ABC analysis to determine cycle Has
several advantages Eliminates shutdowns and interruptions
Eliminates annual inventory adjustment Trained personnel audit
inventory accuracy Allows causes of errors to be identified and
corrected Maintains accurate inventory records
31. Control of Service Inventories Can be a critical component
of profitability Losses may come from shrinkage or pilferage
Applicable techniques include 1. Good personnel selection,
training, and discipline 2. Tight control on incoming shipments 3.
Effective control on all goods leaving facility

35. Your assignment Step 1: Make sure you understand the
concepts that are covered in this slide show. If necessary, go
through it again or study the textbook. The slides by Heizer &
Render (available on eFundi) also give valuable extra information.
Step 2: Prepare a one-page summary of the theory. Make sure it fits
into the template in the study guide. Remember to make a note of
those issues that you want explained in class. Step 3: Find out how
your organisation manages its supply chain and inventory. Give a
one-page summary on the template. Step 4: Critique the way supply
chain and inventory management take place in your organisation.
Where necessary, suggest improvements. Give a one-page summary on
the template. (If there are diagrams, you are allowed a fourth page
for them). Step 5: Submit your three-page report on efundi before
Thursday night 23:59. This counts towards your individual
assignment and your final pass mark! Step 6: For your group
assignment, prepare a three-slide PowerPoint show: Slide 1: Briefly
present the essence of supply chain and inventory management to
your community organisation. (Decide in conjunction with them to
what extent the two topics are important to them). Slide 2: Explain
whether/how they presently do supply chain and inventory
management. Slide 3: Give them advice on how to improve their
supply chain and inventory management. Use the template that is on
eFundi. One group member must submit on efundi before Thursday
night 23:59 as well! Names of both documents must be as indicated
in your study guide.
