when defining relationship intensity in order to balance short and long term needs...

•Not all customers are created equal •Not every fulfillment experience is equally critical ** match service offering to real service requirements

when designing an order fufillment system two points apply:

•The Disconnect: •Customers say it is primarily due to poor customer service. •Companies say it is primarily due to price and not being the lowest-cost provider. Knowing which one is correct depends on the company having the right data!

•Are customer service and customer satisfaction the same thing?

defined metrics

•Companies must have ---------in order to determine if service and satisfaction goals and objectives are being met.

Channel Selection

•Determine which channels to use to bring products to market •A manufacturer or importer may select a: -direct to consumer channel - wholesale based channel - direct to retail channel (often combinations of channels are chosen) •many customers can be in a physical store while getting additional information from their mobile devises

Strategic Profit Model

not having the item. retail out of stocks are 7-10% out of stock cost retailers $435 bill in 2010

•In retailing, the biggest single customer-service complaint is

-Financial performance: traditional financial measures such as R O I, R O A, cost reduction, asset utilization, and productivity levels. • -Internal business process: focuses on company metrics such as waste reduction, product quality, and order cycle time variability. • -Customer service: measures that focus on customer requirements and satisfaction such as order response time, customer retention, customer profitability, and customer satisfaction ratings. • -Education and learning: measures concerned with employees, systems, and procedures.

•The Balanced Scorecard consists of four components, only one of which is financial:

automation

•is the only way to quickly capture large volumes of data. •

Performance Measures

•metrics that measure specific aspects of customer satisfaction (for example: market share percentage, on-time delivery, net profit margins).

Supply Chain Planning

•refers to decision making related to future operations in the supply chain -The objective is to meet service and quality requirements with the lowest possible use of resources

Data Capture

•the process by which data enters an information system. -This may be accomplished by manual or automated processes

Corporate Strategy

refers to the use of resources to gain a competitive advantage

Inputs: Natural resources(land, facilities, equipment) HR, Financial resources, informational resources Management actions: planning, implement, control Logistics management: raw materials, in-process inventory, finished goods Logistics activities: customer service, demand forecasting, distribution communications, inventory control, order processing, procurement, parts and service support, plant and warehouse site selection, packaging, return goods handling, salvage/scrap disposal, traffic and transportation, warehouseing and storage

***know role of logistics in scm chart

•Supply Chain Operations Reference Model (S C O R Model).

-most widely know -frequent periodic updating -includes the following components: plan, source, make, deliver, return ,enable these components include: -customer interactions, (quote to cash) -physical material transactions (procure to payment, equipment, supplies, spare parts, bulk product, software etc.) - marketing interactions (manufacturing from the understanding of aggregate demand to fufillment of each order) -significant practitioner involvement in development of the model

corporate philosophy

: incorporates the first two perspectives and is a philosophy that treats customer satisfaction as an integral part of a firm's total supply chain activities.

supply chain

A set of three or more organizations directly linked by one or more of the upstream and downstream flows of products, services, finances, and information from a source to a customer.

customer service

Activities between the buyer and seller that enhance or facilitate the sale or use of the seller's products or services the act of taking care of the customer's needs by providing and delivering professional, helpful, high-quality service and assistance before, during, and after the customer's requirements are met

•capturing the actual costs related to serving customers.

Activity-based costing can be useful in...

Service Logistics

All the people, facilities and supplies in place to effectively deliver services to customers. ex: hair salon, hospital operations

•within cost centers; and between cost centers.

Cost-service trade-offs can be of two types:

•Non-Metric Data .Metric Data •Nominal. . interval •Ordinal. . ratio information is data that are useful

Data vs Information

Humanitarian Logistics

Effective planning, flow and storage of goods, information to alleviate the suffering of people ex: red cross assistance to people of Haiti in the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake

SCM (Supply Chain Management)

Encompasses the planning and management of all activities involved in sourcing and procurement, conversion, and all logistics management activities. Importantly, it also includes coordination and collaboration with channel partners, which can be suppliers, intermediaries, third party service providers, and customers. In essence, supply chain management integrates supply and demand management within and across companies

declined since the early 1980's

Generally, logistics costs as a % o GDP have

product stockout

Knowing how customers will behave when experiencing a___________ is important

interest rates, inflation, productivity, energy costs and availability, employment, and other aspects of the economy

Logistics has an impact on...

customer service failure

Most of the time when a customer experiences a product stock-out, it is due to a

Millitary logistics

Moving groups of people and supplies, setting up camps, replenishing supplies and people, and breaking camp them down again and moving it out. ex: Australia's regional assistance mission to the Solomon Islands to help provide security.

passenger logistics

Moving people ex: Scheduled or private airplane flights, bus rides, highway travel

•This is where a decision is made regarding the number and size of nodes in the supply chain, particularly plant and warehouse sizes and locations • •Network design decisions require a substantial amount of cost and customer service information • •May follow a centralized, national distribution strategy -A few warehousing locations to support a national distribution effort - •Or a decentralized strategy with far more warehouses supporting their strategy

Network design

-Cost leadership •Being a low-cost leader -Differentiation •Firms seek to offer unique products and services to customers -Focus •Resources are concentrated on a narrow segment of the market

Per Porter, there are three basic strategic choices...

key performance indicators (K P I s). There are usually less than 20 K P I s that are important.

The most important metrics are referred to as...

perfect order

The optimization of customer satisfaction through supply chain management is referred to as the____

Logistics

That part of supply chain management that plans, implements, and controls the efficient, effective forward and reverses flow and storage of goods, services and related information between the point of origin and the point of consumption in order to meet customers' requirements.

take the customer response (back order, lost sale and lost customer) multiply by the probability by the cost per incident to get the expected cost add all three together and that is the expected cost per stockout -Back order .50 $100 $50 _Lost sale .30 $3750 $1125 -Lost customer.20 $50,000 $10000 the expected cost per stockout is $11,175

The Cost of Stock outs: sample problem •Customer Response and Consequences: •50% backorder @ $100 •30% substitute one time @ $3,750 •20% switch permanently @ $50,000

Number of repeat customers

The degree of satisfaction provided by the goods or services of a company as measured by

You can't manage what you don't measure.

The management adage is correct

Event Logistics

The resources (facilities, people, and infrastructures) used to organize, deliver and execute an event from initial schedule through teardown and clean up. ex: • Oktober Fest in Munich, Germany • Chinese New Year in Beijing, China • Summer Olympic Games

Forum Model

a type of SCM model that has been developed utilizing practitioner/company input. the model illustrates the structure of the supply chain, product and information flows, scm components, and major processes occuring in the supply chain, including: -customer relationship management -customer service management -demand management -order fufillment -manufacturing flow management -procurement -product development -commercialization -product returns

Activity or Process

activities and processes that must be managed such as product delivery, reverse logistics, order processing, sourcing, and procurement

service failure is inevitable and service recovery is vital contingency planning helps recovery disruption scanning--> risk assessment--> recovery plan--> enact/execute--> evaluate--> improve

contingency planning and service recovery

•Long-term focus. •Senior leadership involvement •Cross-organizational teams •Shared resources •Shared risks and rewards. •Open communication

customer alliances build on the following:

customers expect time delivery •delivery capability is cross functional. If anyone who touches an order drops the ball, delivery is negatively affected. •Customers care about three dimensions •Speed; i.e., length of order cycle •Consistency; i.e., variability of order cycle •Flexibility; i.e., responsiveness of order cycle

deliverables of order fufillment--> delivery

customers expect transparency •Transparent service can help customers compensate when the unexpected happens. •Modern technology enables you to track shipments in real-time •Order transparency improves planning, execution, and evaluation.

deliverables of order fufillment--> transparency

movement-> transportation Storage-> warehousing, in transit Planning-> flow of info, tracking, visibility *when aligned to support customer value = Delivering your promises to your customer

explain movement, storage, and processing

•product Availability is the most basic output of an order fulfillment system. •Availability costs money. •Analyze tradeoffs; i.e., between inventory and stockout costs. Key Measures: •Stockout Frequency •Fill Rate •Orders Shipped Complete

explain one of the deliverables of order fufillment-->Availability

•As firms become leaner and more technology dependent, disruptions can cause more serious problems than ever before • •Organizations must develop contingency plans for possible disruptions • •Many factors have made supply chains more vulnerable, including longer supply lines, outsourcing from suppliers worldwide who may be invisible to the firm, natural disasters, labor strikes, product recalls, business failures, and political unrest

explain supply chain disruptions

•Organizations of all types have become more concerned with sustainability issues • •Energy availability and cost will continue to vary over time • •Emissions from manufacturing, transportation and other logistics and supply chain activities will continue to be an issue for supply chain executives • •Many firms are adopting environmental standards such as ISO 14000

how has sustainability played a part of SCM?

-Some firms attempting to be all things to all people -This strategy places greater pressure on the supply chain, as it must be flexible, adaptive, effective and efficient

how has the digital economy made answering certain questions regarding strategy more challenging?

Customer Expectation: • Outstanding service at low costs! Your Service Offering: • Near 100% availability • Near 100% On-time Delivery • Real-time Transparency • Low Risks, Rapid Recovery • Best-cost Solutions

in a strategic alliance what are the customer expectations? youre service offering?

Customer Expectation: • Low Costs • Adequate Service Your Service Offering: • Efficient, Hassle-free Service • Perform to Promise • Treat Each Customer Fairly

in a transactional relationship what are the customer expectations? your service offering?

•Balance human and physical resources of the organization and supply chain with customer service requirements and establish/communicate customer satisfaction plans and strategies for the whole supply chain. • •Manage business rules, supply chain performance, data collection, inventory, capital assets, transportation, planning configuration, and regulatory requirements and compliance that have a direct influence on the delivery of various service components to customers. • Align customer service and satisfaction strategies with the overall financial plan of the organization

in customer satisfaction and the SCOR model how do you plan?

•requires timely information •Information sharing is critical both within individual firms and among firms in the supply chain -Internally, information is needed to coordinate activities within and among functions •This refers to traditional organizational specializations such as marketing, logistics, manufacturing or finance -Externally information among firms in the supply chain is equally important •Helps to reduce risk •Yet, it has been shown visibility decreases as one moves farther upstream to suppliers and supplier's supplier In today's digital economy, information about products has become almost as important as the products themselves

in regards to managing daily operations, why is information imortant? internal/external info?
