The Role of Sourcing


in a Supply Chain
Sourcing is the set of business processes required
to purchase goods and services
Sourcing processes include:

Supplier scoring and assessment


Supplier selection and contract negotiation
Design collaboration
Procurement
Sourcing planning and analysis

Copyright 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall.

14-3

Benefits of Effective
Sourcing Decisions
Better economies of scale can be achieved if orders are
aggregated
More efficient procurement transactions can
significantly reduce the overall cost of purchasing
Design collaboration can result in products that are
easier to manufacture and distribute, resulting in lower
overall costs
Good procurement processes can facilitate
coordination with suppliers
Appropriate supplier contracts can allow for the
sharing of risk
Firms can achieve a lower purchase price by
increasing competition through the use of auctions
Copyright 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall.

14-4

Supplier Scoring and Assessment


Supplier performance should be compared on the
basis of the suppliers impact on total cost
There are several other factors besides purchase price
that influence total cost

Copyright 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall.

14-5

Supplier Assessment Factors


Replenishment Lead Time
On-Time Performance
Supply Flexibility
Delivery Frequency /
Minimum Lot Size
Supply Quality

Supplier Selection- Auctions and


Negotiations
Supplier selection can be performed through competitive
bids, reverse auctions, and direct negotiations
Supplier evaluation is based on total cost of using a
supplier
Auctions:

Sealed-bid first-price auctions


English auctions
Dutch auctions
Second-price (Vickery) auctions

Contracts for Product Availability


and Supply Chain Profits
Many shortcomings in supply chain performance occur
because the buyer and supplier are separate organizations
and each tries to optimize its own profit
Total supply chain profits might therefore be lower than if
the supply chain coordinated actions to have a common
objective of maximizing total supply chain profits
An approach to dealing with this problem is to design a
contract that encourages a buyer to purchase more and
increase the level of product availability
The supplier must share in some of the buyers demand
uncertainty

Contracts for Product Availability and


Supply Chain Profits: Buyback Contracts
Allows a retailer to return unsold inventory up to a
specified amount at an agreed upon price
Increases the optimal order quantity for the retailer,
resulting in higher product availability and higher profits
for both the retailer and the supplier
Downside is that buyback contract results in surplus
inventory that must be disposed of, which increases supply
chain costs
Can also increase information distortion through the
supply chain because the supply chain reacts to retail
orders, not actual customer demand

Buy back contract


Retailer proposes that unsold goods should be taken
back by the manufacturer under Buy back

Chain Profits: Revenue Sharing Contracts
The buyer pays a minimal amount for each unit
purchased from the supplier but shares a fraction of
the revenue for each unit sold
Decreases the cost per unit charged to the retailer,
which effectively decreases the cost of overstocking
Can result in supply chain information distortion,
however, just as in the case of buyback contracts

Supply Contracts: Key Insights


Effective supply contracts allow supply chain partners
to replace
sequential optimization by
global optimization

Buy Back and Revenue Sharing contracts achieve this


objective through
risk sharing

Copyright 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall.

Other Contracts
Quantity Flexibility Contracts
Supplier provides full refund for returned items as long as
the number of returns is no larger than a certain quantity

Sales Rebate Contracts


Supplier provides direct incentive for the retailer to increase
sales by means of a rebate paid by the supplier for any item
sold above a certain quantity

Copyright 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall.

Contracts to Coordinate
Supply Chain Costs
Differences in costs at the buyer and supplier can lead
to decisions that increase total supply chain costs
Example: Replenishment order size placed by the
buyer. The buyers EOQ does not take into account
the suppliers costs.
A quantity discount contract may encourage the buyer
to purchase a larger quantity (which would be lower
costs for the supplier), which would result in lower
total supply chain costs
Quantity discounts lead to information distortion
because of order batching
Copyright 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall.

Design Collaboration
50-70 percent of spending at a manufacturer is
through procurement
80 percent of the cost of a purchased part is fixed in
the design phase
Design collaboration with suppliers can result in
reduced cost, improved quality, and decreased time to
market
Important to employ design for logistics, design for
manufacturability

The Procurement Process


The process in which the supplier sends product in response to
orders placed by the buyer
Goal is to enable orders to be placed and delivered on schedule
at the lowest possible overall cost
Two main categories of purchased goods:
Direct materials: components used to make finished goods
Indirect materials: goods used to support the operations of a firm
Differences between direct and indirect materials listed in Table

Focus for direct materials should be on improving coordination


and visibility with supplier
Focus for indirect materials should be on decreasing the
transaction cost for each order
Procurement for both should consolidate orders where possible
to take advantage of economies of scale and quantity discounts

Sourcing Planning and Analysis


A firm should periodically analyze its procurement
spending and supplier performance and use this
analysis as an input for future sourcing decisions
Procurement spending should be analyzed by part and
supplier to ensure appropriate economies of scale
Supplier performance analysis should be used to build
a portfolio of suppliers with complementary strengths
Cheaper but lower performing suppliers should be used to
supply base demand
Higher performing but more expensive suppliers should be
used to buffer against variation in demand and supply from
the other source
