Supply Chain Management

● Definition:
 Supply Chain Management is primarily concerned
with the efficient integration of suppliers, factories,
warehouses and stores so that merchandise is produced and
distributed in the right quantities, to the right locations and
at the right time, and so as to minimize total system cost
subject to satisfying service requirements.
● Notice:

Who is involved

Cost and Service Level
● It is all about integration

Supply Chain Management

● Refers to all the management functions related to the flow of


materials from the company’s direct suppliers to its direct
customers.
● Includes purchasing, traffic, production control, inventory
control, warehousing, and shipping.
● Two alternative names:

Materials management

Logistics management

INTEGRATING OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT WITH OTHER FUNCTIONS

● Customer choices introduce complexity



product variety, demand uncertainty, variable
capacity requirements
● Mass customization is replacing mass production in
many industries
● There is more opportunity to coordinate activities
because of information systems
● Supply chain management has become a critical
aspect of business success

Market Distribution Operating Concerns

Market Distribution:
Activities related to providing customer service. Requires performing
order receipt and processing, deploying inventories, storage and
handling, and outbound transportation within a supply chain. Includes
the responsibility to coordinate with marketing planning in such areas
as pricing, promotional support, customer service levels, delivery
standards, handling return merchandise, and life-cycle support. The
primary market distribution objective is to assist in revenue generation
by providing strategically desired customer service levels at the lowest
total cost.

38
Manufacturing Support Operating Concerns

Manufacturing Support:
Activities related to planning, scheduling, and supporting
manufacturing operations. Requires master schedule planning and
performing work-in-process storage, handling, transportation, and
time phasing of components. Includes the responsibility for storage of
inventory at manufacturing sites and maximum flexibility in the
coordination of geographic and final assemblies postponement
between manufacturing and market distribution operations.

39
Procurement Operating Concerns

Procurement:
Activities related to obtaining products and materials from outside
suppliers. Requires performing resource planning, supply sourcing,
negotiation, order placement, inbound transportation, receiving and
inspection, storage and handling, and quality assurance. Includes the
responsibility to coordinate with suppliers in such areas as scheduling,
supply continuity, hedging, and speculation, as well as research
leading to new sources or programs. The primary procurement
objective is to support manufacturing or resale organizations by
providing timely purchasing at the lowest total cost.

40
Purchasing

Factors increasing the importance of purchasing today:


● Tremendous impact of material costs on profit (60-

70% of each sales Rupee is paid to material


suppliers)
● Popularity of just-in-time manufacturing (supply

deliveries must be exact in timing, quantity, and


quality)
● Increasing global competition (growing competition

for scarce resources, and a geographically


“stretched-out” supply chain)

41
Mission of Purchasing
“The mission of purchasing is to sense
the competitive priorities necessary for
each major product/service (low
production costs, fast and on-time
deliveries, high quality /services, and
flexibility) and to develop purchasing
plans for each major product/service
that are consistent with operations
strategies”
42
Mission of Purchasing

● Develop purchasing plans for each major product or


service that are consistent with operations
strategies:

Low production costs

Fast and on-time deliveries

High quality products and services

Flexibility

43
Purchasing Management

● Maintain data base of available, qualified suppliers


● Select suppliers to supply each material
● Negotiate contracts with suppliers
● Act as interface between company and suppliers
● Provide training to suppliers on latest technologies

44
Purchasing vs. Procurement

● Purchasing is normally associated with a functional


activity
● Procurement/Sourcing should be viewed as a strategic
activity for the business.

Loyalty to your organization

Justice to those with whom you deal

Faith in your profession
● From these principles are derived the NAPM
standards of purchasing practice (domestic and

71
Make-or-Buy Analysis

Considerations in make-or-buy decisions:


● Lower cost - purchasing or production?

● Better quality - supplier or in-house?

● More-reliable deliveries - supplier or in-house?

● What degree of vertical integration is desirable?

● Should distinctive competencies be outsourced?

72
Make/Buy Considerations

Reasons for Making Reasons for Buying


1. Maintain core competencies 1. Frees management to deal
and protect personnel with its primary business
from layoff 2. Lower acquisition cost
2. Lower production cost 3. Preserve supplier
3. Unsuitable suppliers commitment
4. Assure adequate supply 4. Obtain technical or

Example: Make-or-Buy

 A firm manufactures a product that contains a


part requiring heat treatment. An analyst is trying to
decide whether it is more economical to buy the heat
treating service or perform the treatment in house.
Pertinent data is shown on the next slide.
 If part quality and delivery performance are
about the same for the two alternatives, which
alternative should be selected?

75
Example: Make-or-Buy

Purchase
 Heat-Treat
Heat-Treat
 In-House
Service
 Number of parts annually 5,000 5,000
 Fixed cost per year $25,000 $0
 Variable cost per part $13.20 $17.50

76
Example: Make-or-Buy



Compute the total cost for each alternative


TC = FC + vQ
 TC1 = FC1 + v1Q = 25,000 + 13.20(5,000) =
$91,000
 TC2 = FC2 + v2Q = 0 + 17.50(5,000) =

$87,500
 The firm should buy the heat-treating service (the
second alternative).
 continued
77
Example: Make-or-Buy

 The analyst has assumed that 5,000 parts per


year will require heat treatment. By how many parts
can the firm’s requirements increase or decrease
before in-house heat treating is more economical?
Should the analyst rethink his/her decision?

78
Example: Make-or-Buy



Compute the break-even parts quantity
 FC1 + v1Q = FC2 + v2Q
 Q = (FC1 - FC2)/(v2- v1)
 Q = (25,000 – 0)/(17.50 – 13.20)


Q = 5,814
 If the firm’s annual parts requirement increases
by 814 (about 16%) or more, in-house heat treatment
would be more economical. The analyst should give
the decision more thought.

Logistics

● Logistics usually refers to management of:



the movement of materials within the factory

the shipment of incoming materials from
suppliers

the shipment of outgoing products to customers

Shipments To and From Factories

● Traffic

Traffic departments routinely examine shipping
schedules and select:

shipping methods

time tables

ways of expediting deliveries

Traffic management is a specialized field
requiring technical training in Department of
Transportation (DOT) and Interstate
Commerce Commission (ICC) regulations
and rates.
82
Shipments To and From Factories

● Distribution

Distribution, or physical distribution, is the
shipment of finished goods through the
distribution system to customers.

A distribution system is the network of
shipping and receiving points starting with
the factory and ending with the customers.

83
Shipments To and From Factories

● Distribution Requirements Planning



DRP is the planning for the replenishment of
regional warehouse inventories.

DRP uses MRP-type logic to translate regional
warehouse requirements into central
distribution-center requirements, which are
then translated into gross requirements in the
MPS at the factory.

84
Shipments To and From Factories

● Distribution Requirements Planning



Scheduled receipts are previously-placed orders
that are expected to arrive in a given week

Planned receipt of shipments are orders planned,
but not yet placed, for the future

Projected ending inventory is computed as:

Previous week’s projected ending

Example: DRP

 Products are shipped from a company’s main


distribution center (adjacent to the factory) to two
regional warehouses. The DRP records on the next
two slides show – for the two regional warehouse –
the forecasted demand, scheduled receipts, and last
week’s projected ending inventories for a single
product.
 The third upcoming slide shows – for the main
distribution center – scheduled receipts and last
week’s projected ending inventory for the same
product. Complete the DRP records.

92
Example: DRP

● DRP Record for Main Distribution Center



The “gross requirement” ( in row 1) for any
week is determined by summing the “planned
orders for shipment” for the same week at the
two regional warehouses

These gross requirements at the MDC are input
to the master production schedule in the
factory

In other words, the timing and quantities of
production in the factory are linked to the
timing and quantities of demand at the
regional warehouses

Example: DRP

● Completed DRP Record for Main Distribution Center

Main Distrib. Center LT = 1 Week


Std. Quantity = 500 SS = 200 -1 1 2 3 4 5

● Distribution Resource Planning



Distribution resource planning extends DRP so
that the key resources of warehouse space,
workers, cash, and vehicles are provided in the
correct quantities at the correct times.

95
Analyzing Shipping Decisions

● The “Transportation Problem”



Problem involves shipping a product from
several sources (ex. factories) with limited
supply to several destinations (ex.
warehouses) with demand to be satisfied

Per-unit cost of shipping from each source to
each destination is specified

Optimal solution minimizes total shipping cost
and specifies the quantity of product to be
shipped from each source to each destination

96
Example: Minimizing Shipping Costs

 Pacer produces computer monitors in its three


factories and ships them to five regional warehouses.
The factory-to-warehouse shipping costs per monitor

are:
 Warehouse
 Factory A B C D E
 1 $2.10 $4.30 $3.60 $1.80
$2.70
 2 4.90 2.60 3.50 4.50
3.70
 3 3.90 3.60 1.50 5.80

3.30 97

Example: Minimizing Shipping Costs

 The factories have the following capacities


(monitors produced per month): 1 = 10,000; 2
= 20,000; and 3 = 10,000.
 The warehouses need at least these numbers of
monitors per month: A = 5,000; B = 10,000; C =
10,000; D = 5,000; and E = 10,000.
 Use the POM Software Library to solve this
transportation problem.

98
Example: Minimizing Shipping Costs



Solution
 Warehouse
 Factory A B C D E
 1 5,000 0 0 5,000 0
 2 0 10,000 0 0
10,000
 3 0 0 10,000 0 0

 Total monthly shipping cost =


$97,500
 (Note: all warehouse demand is
satisfied
 and no factory’s capacity is 99
Innovations in Logistics

● New developments affecting logistics include:



All-freight airports

Inter-modal shipping

In-transit rates
● Consolidated shipments
● Air-freight and trucking deregulation

Advanced logistics software

Warehousing

● Warehousing is the management of materials while


they are in storage.
● Warehousing activities include:

Storing

Dispersing

Ordering

Accounting

101
Warehousing

● Record keeping within warehousing requires a stock


record for each item that is carried in inventories.
● The individual item is called a stock-keeping unit
(SKU).
● Stock records are running accounts that show:

On-hand balance

Receipts and expected receipts

Disbursements, promises, and allocations

102
Demand Management

● Review customer orders and promise shipment of


orders as close to request date as possible
● Update MPS at least weekly.... work with Marketing
to understand shifts in demand patterns
● Produce to order..... focus on incoming customer
orders
● Produce to stock ..... focus on maintaining finished
goods levels
● Planning horizon must be as long as the longest lead
time item
