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
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.
14-35
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
Manufacturers must become effective design
coordinators throughout the supply chain
