Seven Principles of SCM Principle 6

Develop supply chain wide technology strategy that supports multiple levels of decision making and gives a clear view of the flow of products, services, and information.

Business Impact - Improve Financial Position Decreases Fixed Assets

Firms value supply chain managers because they decrease the use of large fixed assets such as plants, warehouses, and transportation vehicles in the supply chain. If supply chain experts can redesign the network to properly serve U.S. customers from six warehouses rather than ten, the firm will avoid building four very expensive buildings.

Key SCM Concepts Mutual Agreement on Goals

An integrated supply chain requires more than just agreement on the contractual terms of a buy/sell relationship. Partners in the chain must appreciate that the only entity that puts money into a supply chain is the end customer. Therefore, establishing a mutual understanding of the mission, strategy, and goals of participating organizations is essential. The integrated supply chain is about adding economic value and maximizing the total content of the product.

3 Types of Purchasing Organization

1. Complete decentralization, allowing full autonomy in each of the units; 2. Complete centralization, all purchases are made from a central office; or 3. A combination of both.

Other Advantages of Centralization

1. Consolidating requirements 2. Developing sources 3. Rationalizing stocks 4. Simplifying procedures 5. Working with suppliers to eliminate unnecessary costs 6. Working with his colleagues to ensure an effective flow of information which will enable the objectives of the enterprise to be met

Major Trend Involving Purchasing Functions and Process 11. Increasing decentralization of buying decisions in multi-site operations

1. Cost reduction imperative 2. Desire of management to move buying decisions clearer to the responsible using manager

Why go Global?

1. Cost/Price Benefits 2. Availability/Continuity of Supply 3. High quality Technological Know How 4. Greater Competition 5. Relative ease of communication 6. Market Entry

Balancing Conflicting Needs:

1. The user, want the best quality item immediately, regardless of cost and effort. 2. The inventory controllers/planners want to always have stock, but as little as possible and at the shortest possible lead times. 3. The financial controller wants a little or no stock and lower priced purchases. 4. The suppliers prefer flexible lead timers and highest possible prices obtainable. 5. Purchasing's role is very dependent on meeting the needs of other functions. 6. Its pivotal role is to make "best value" supply decisions 7. It should effectively manage the large expenditures involved in the procurement of goods and services in line with the organization's goals and directions.

Effective Cost Reduction Program Requirements

1. Top Management Support 2. Clear Definition of Goals 3. Visibility of Savings to Top Management 4. Measurement of Savings 5. Reporting on the process and its results 6. Incorporation of cost reduction goals in the individual performance appraisal process.

Major Trend Involving Purchasing Functions and Process 1. Increasing utilization of information

1. Use of information systems development and networking that can integrate individual material functions and tie purchasing to other operating departments 2. More extensive use of barcoding 3. Use of electronic data interchange 4. Increasing use of computer aided design (CAD) and computer aided manufacturing (CAM)

Key SCM Concepts Compatible Organizational Cultures

A positive relationship between the purchasing and supplying organizations that comes with compatible organizational cultures can be a real advantage in making a supply chain hum. A champion within one of the two firms promotes both formal and informal contacts, and those contacts contribute to the alignment of the organizational cultures, further strengthening the relationship. The operations manager is dealing with a supply chain that is made up of independent specialists, each trying to satisfy its own customers at a profit. This leads to action that may not optimize the entire chain. On the other hand, the supply chain is replete with opportunities to reduce waste and enhance value. We now look at some of the significant issues and opportunities.

Seven Principles of SCM Principle 7

Adopt channel spanning performance measures to gauge collective success in reaching the end-user effectively and efficiently.

MAJOR IMPLEMENTING GUIDELINES AND POLICIES Supplier Performance Evaluation:

Performance of vendors must be continuously monitored and evaluated against corporate standards of quality, timeliness, cost competitiveness, service orientation and management attitude.

Business Impact - Reduce Operating Cost Decreases Purchasing Cost

Retailers depend on supply chains to quickly deliver expensive products to avoid holding costly inventories in stores any longer than necessary. For example, electronics stores require fast delivery of 60" flat panel plasma HDTV's to avoid high inventory costs.

Key SCM Concepts Mutual Trust

Trust is critical to an effective and efficient supply chain. Members of the chain must enter into a relationship that shares information - a relationship built on mutual trust. Supplier relationships are most likely to be successful if risk and cost savings are shared - and activities such as end customer research, sales analysis, forecasting, and production planning are joint activities

Cost Reduction Programs

1. Supplier development 2. Development of Competition / Avoidance of Monopoly 3. Requirement of Supplier Cost Reduction 4. Early supplier involvement in new product design and design changes 5. Substitution of materials

Advantages of Decentralization

1. The local buyer will have a better knowledge of the needs of his particular factory or unit, of local suppliers, transport and storage facilities 2. He will be able to respond more quickly to emergency requirements 3. The local buyer's direct responsibility to his immediate management will produce better liaison and tighter control by local top management particularly where they operate as a profit center

Purchasing Cost Management:

Given the large percentage of the organization's resources that purchasing spends, purchasing departments must manage and reduce costs. "...a 10% cost reduction in purchase expenditures has a much greater impact then a 10% reduction in labor or overhead expenses."

Societal Roles - Ensure Human Survival SCM Protects Humans from Climate Extremes

Humans depend on an energy supply chain to deliver electrical energy to homes and businesses for light, heat, refrigeration and air conditioning. Logistical failure (a power blackout) can quickly result in a threat to human life. For example, during a massive East Coast ice storm in January 1998, 80,000 miles of electrical power lines fell resulting in no electricity for 3,200,000 Montreal, Quebec residents. Due to extreme cold, 30 died and 25% of all Quebec residents left home to seek heated shelter In addition, economic costs included $3 billion in lost business, $1 billion in home damage and $1 billion in government expenditures.

TYPES OF PURCHASING AGREEMENT STRATEGIES Blanket Po

Is a purchasing method whereby materials and supplies is awarded to a supplier with pre agreed price but without any committed volume. This method is advisable for nonstock items/hardware. The pre agreed price is the listed or average industry price less a fixed discount rate. Similar to a systems contract, the supplier is committed to ensure availability of the item when needed.

TYPES OF PURCHASING AGREEMENT STRATEGIES Systems Contracting

Is a purchasing scheme whereby the supply of materials is awarded to one or more suppliers covering a period of six months to one year (sometimes even beyond one year). A minimum volume is committed to the vendor in exchange for a discounted price over the contract period

TYPES OF PURCHASING AGREEMENT STRATEGIES Contract Growing

Is a raw material sourcing scheme mostly applicable to agricultural based commodities like grain, fruits, root crops , livestock or even aqua based products like prawn and several fish varieties. The company provides the inputs and the grower on the other hand provides the facilities and labor.

TYPES OF PURCHASING AGREEMENT STRATEGIES Consignment

Is a supply agreement with a vendor/s whereby materials needed by the company are consigned by the vendor and automatically replaced once consumed. The company provides a space and takes responsibility in the safekeeping of the consigned item.

TYPES OF PURCHASING AGREEMENT STRATEGIES Counter Trade

Is the exchange of goods or services without the use of money. We can negotiate with our vendors that for the material, equipment or services that they supply to us, we compensate them partly if not wholly with finished products.

TYPES OF PURCHASING AGREEMENT STRATEGIES VMI

Is where the manufacturer assumes the responsibility for the automatic replenishment of the distributor's inventory through the use of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) transmissions and a pre agreed upon stock plan.

Global Purchasing

It is buying materials, equipment and services of the right quality, in the right quantity, at the right time, at the right price from the right source GLOBALLY.

Business Impact - Reduce Operating Cost Decreases Production Cost

Manufacturers depend on supply chains to reliably deliver materials to assembly plants to avoid material shortages that would shut down production. For example, an unexpected parts shipment delay that causes an auto assembly plant shutdown can cost $20,000 per minute and millions of dollars per day in lost wages.

TYPES OF PURCHASING AGREEMENT STRATEGIES Volume Aggregation

Materials, equipment or service with high degree of commonality of use among divisions, a region/country, would be better produced based on the User's aggregated volume requirements. This will give the central requirement body at the region or group level the leverage in negotiating the best ultimate value.

MAJOR IMPLEMENTING GUIDELINES AND POLICIES Monitoring and Expediting:

Purchasing has to monitor and expedite delivery of pending orders (varying degrees depending on the criticality of supply and the supplier's delivery performance) up to its final delivery and acceptance, in close coordination with the requirements and plans of end users.

TYPES OF PURCHASING AGREEMENT STRATEGIES Toll Processing

Raw materials may be procured not necessarily in its processed form. We can always consider buying the crude form of the materials and have somebody do the processing for us resulting to a lower cost. Even finished products or packaging of finished products may be entered into a tolling arrangement.

Seven Principles of SCM Principle 1

Segment customers based on the service needs of distinct groups and adapt the supply chain to serve these segments profitably.

Societal Roles - Improve Quality of Life Improve Standard of Living

Societies with a highly developed supply chain infrastructure (modern interstate highway system, vast railroad network, numerous modern ports and airports) are able to exchange many goods between businesses and consumers quickly and at low cost. As a result, consumers can afford to buy more products with their income thereby raising the standard of living in the society. For instance, it is estimated that supply chain costs make up 20% of a product's cost in the U.S. but 40% of a product's cost in China. If transport damage is added in, these costs make up 60% of a product's cost in China. The high Chinese supply chain cost is a major impediment to improving the standard of living for Chinese citizens. Consequently, China has embarked on a massive effort to develop its infrastructure.

- Forecast Errors - adjustment of inventory control parameters with each demand observation

Methods intended to reduce uncertainty, variability, and lead time

- Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) - Just In-Time replenishment (JIT) - Strategic partnership - Information sharing - smooth the flow of products - eliminate pathological incentives

The Bullwhip Effect (or Whiplash Effect)

- an observed phenomenon in forecast-driven distribution channels - The tendency for larger order size fluctuations as orders are relayed through the supply chain - Creates unstable production schedules, expensive capacity change costs, longer lead times, obsolescence - Damage can be minimized with supplier coordination and planning - represents the amplification and distortion of demand variability as moving upstream in a supply chain, causing excessive inventories, insufficient capacities and high operational costs

Two important things in SCM (by SCM Managers)

1. They think about the supply chain as a whole all the links involved in managing the flow of products, services, and information from their suppliers' suppliers to their customers' customers (that is, channel customers, such as distributors and retailers). 2. They pursue tangible outcomes - focused on revenue growth, asset utilization, and cost.

Supply Chain Evolution 2010s

Automation

Elements of the Supply Chain Production

Based on a production plan, the raw materials are moved to the production area. The finished products ordered by the customer are manufactured using the raw materials purchased from suppliers. After the items have been completed and tested, they are stored back in the warehouse prior to delivery to the customer.

Societal Roles - Protect Cultural Freedom & Development Defending Human Freedom

Citizens of a country depend on military logistics to defend their way of life from those who seek to end it. Military logisticians strategically locate aircraft, ships, tanks, missiles and other weapons in positions that provide maximum security to soldiers and other citizens. Also, superior logistics performance yields military victory. For example, the B2 Stealth Bomber is able to deliver bombs to target without being detected by enemy radar.

Societal Roles - Protect Cultural Freedom & Development Protects Delivery of Necessities

Citizens of a country depend on supply chain managers to design and operate food, medicine, and water supply chains that protect products from tampering. Sophisticated packaging techniques, state-of-the-art surveillance cameras, global positioning systems, and RFID inventory tracking are some of the methods used to deter terrorists from accessing these vital logistics systems.

1621

Dutch West India Co. formed to trade with America and West Africa. (A pseudo third party logistics (3PL) by the Dutch Companies.)

Business Impact - Improve Financial Position Increases Profit Leverage

Firms value supply chain managers because they help control and reduce supply chain costs. This can result in dramatic increases in firm profits. For instance, U.S. consumers eat 2.7 billion packages of cereal annually, so decreasing U.S. cereal supply chain costs just one cent per cereal box would result in $13 million dollars saved industry wide as 13 billion boxes of cereal flowed through the improved supply chain over a five year period.

Business Impact - Improve Financial Position Increases Cash Flow

Firms value supply chain managers because they speed up product flows to customers. For example, if a firm can make and deliver a product to a customer in 10 days rather than 70 days, it can invoice the customer 60 day sooner.

Societal Roles - Ensure Human Survival SCM Helps Sustain Human Life

Humans depend on supply chains to deliver basic necessities such as food and water. Any breakdown of these delivery pipelines quickly threatens human life. For example, in 2005 Hurricane Katrina flooded New Orleans, LA leaving the residents without a way to get food or clean water. As a result, a massive rescue of the inhabitants had to be made. During the first weekend of the rescue effort, 1.9 million meals and 6.7 million liters of water were delivered

Societal Roles - Ensure Human Survival SCM Improves Human Healthcare

Humans depend on supply chains to deliver medicines and healthcare During a medical emergency, supply chain performance can be the difference between life and death. For example, medical rescue helicopters can save lives by quickly transporting accident victims to hospitals for emergency medical treatment. In addition, the medicines and equipment necessary for treatment will be available at the hospital as a result of excellent supply chain execution.

1981

IBM outsourced almost all of its activities and built a full computer.

Business Impact - Reduce Operating Cost Decreases Total Supply Chain Cost

Manufacturers and retailers depend on supply chain managers to design networks that meet customer service goals at the least total cost. Efficient supply chains enable a firm to be more competitive in the market place. For example, Dell's revolutionary computer supply chain approach involved making each computer based on a specific customer order, then shipping the computer directly to the customer. As a result, Dell was able to avoid having large computer inventories sitting in warehouses and retail stores which saved millions of dollars. Also, Dell avoided carrying computer inventories that could become technologically obsolete as computer technology changed rapidly.

Societal Roles - Improve Quality of Life Opportunity to Decrease Energy Use

Supply chain activities involve both human and product transportation. As a by product of these activities, scarce energy is depleted. For example, currently transportation accounts for 30% of world energy use and 95% of global oil consumption. As designers of the network, supply chain professionals have the role of developing energy-efficient supply chains that use fewer resources.

Societal Roles - Improve Quality of Life Opportunity to Decrease Pollution

Supply chain activities require packaging and product transportation As a by product of these activities, some unwanted environmental pollutants such as cardboard waste and carbon dioxide fuel emissions are generated. For example, paper and paperboard accounted for 34% of U.S. landfill waste in 2005. Only 50% of the 84 million tons of paper and paperboard waste were recycled. Also, carbon dioxide emissions from transportation accounted for 33$ of total U.S. CO2 emissions in 2005. As designers of the network, supply chain professionals are in a key position to develop more sustainable processes and methods.

SCM Processes Distribution

The move process manages the logistical flow of goods across the supply chain. Transportation companies, third-party logistics firms, and others ensure that goods are flowing quickly and safely toward the point of demand

Societal Roles - Improve Quality of Life Job Creation

Supply chain professionals design and operate all of the supply chains in a society and manage transportation, warehousing, inventory management, packaging and logistics information. As a result, there are many jobs in the supply chain field. For example, in the U.S. logistics activities represent 9.9% of all dollars spent on goods and services in 2006. This translates into 10,000,000 U.S. logistics jobs.

Elements of the Supply Chain Customer

The customer starts the chain of events when they decide to purchase a product that has been offered for sale by a company. The customer contacts the sales department of the company, which enters the sales order for a specific quantity to be delivered on a specific date. If the product has to be manufactured, the sales order will include a requirement that needs to be fulfilled by the production facility.

SCM Processes Customer Interface

The demand process revolves around all the issues that are related to planning customer interactions, satisfying their needs, and fulfilling orders perfectly.

1975-1990

The earlier approach changed. Companies began migrating from an inventory push to a customer pull channel as power began to move the downstream to the customer.

1960-1975

The essence of SCM understood. This first phase is characterized as an inventory 'push' era that focused primarily on physical distribution of finished

SCM Processes Production

The make process involves the manufacture, conversion, or assembly of materials into finished goods or parts for other products. Supply chain managers provide production support and ensure that key materials are available when needed.

SCM Processes Planning

The plan process seeks to create effective long and short range supply chain strategies. From the design of the supply chain network to the prediction of customer demand, supply chain leaders need to develop integrated supply chain strategies.

Elements of the Supply Chain Purchasing

The purchasing department receives a list of raw materials and services required by the production department to complete the customer's orders. The purchasing department sends purchase orders to selected suppliers to deliver the necessary raw materials to the manufacturing site on the required date

Elements of the Supply Chain Inventory

The raw materials are received from the suppliers, checked for quality and accuracy and moved into the warehouse. The supplier will then send an invoice to the company for the items they delivered. The raw materials are stored until they are required by the production department.

Elements of the Supply Chain Planning

The requirement triggered by the customer's sales order will be combined with other orders. The planning department will create a production plan to produce the products to fulfill the customer's orders. To manufacture the product the company will then have to purchase the raw materials needed.
