Supply Chain Management


A definition
.. the delivery of enhanced customer and economic value through synchronized management of the flow of physical goods and associated information from sourcing to consumption.

Why Your Company Should Care About SCM

Why companies are interested in the Supply Chain


SCM efficiently coordinates the flow of goods from material suppliers to manufacturers to the consumer.

Too much inventory and waste


Distributor Wholesalers Manufacturers Retailers Users

Suppliers

Consumers

Example 1: US grocery pipeline: 84 days, $75 to $100 billion!


Example 2: EHCR $11B of $88B avoidable supply chain costs! Example 3: In textile/apparel/retail chain, potential supply chain savings exceed 60% of total labor costs!

Yet, customers cant get what they want!

Suppliers Manufacturers

Distributor Wholesalers

Retailers Users

Consumers

Example 1: Retailers lose 8% of sales (15% of promotions) to stock-outs Example 2: Average supplier meets its customer request date for 69% of orders; often just 40-50% of the time.

Inefficient Supply Chain means higher prices


Lots of inventory buildup and waste along supply chains
Suppliers Manufacturers Distributors/ Wholesalers Retailers Consumers

Example: Average grocery product takes 84 days to travel from a manufacturer to the retail shelf, resulting in $75 to $100 billion of product in the U.S. grocery pipeline!

Bullwhip Effect Within a Supply Chain

Organizations are functionally aligned


Most companies have functional silos with conflicting goals Accounting practices encourage functional division
Purchasing Manufacturing Distribution Customer Service/ Sales High inventories High service levels Regional stocks

Low purchase price

Few changeovers Stable schedules Long run lengths

Low inventories Low transportation

Multiple vendors

Process orientation addresses supply chain dysfunction


Move from functional silos to cross-functional business processes (e.g., order-to-cash, request-to-promise)
Customer Service/ Sales

Purchasing

Manufacturing

Distribution

Order Fulfillment

Available-to-Promise Capable-to-Promise

Fundamental business questions are going unanswered

What will arrive?


When will it arrive?

What do I have?

What can we ship? What orders should

Where do I put it?


How do I pick it?

we fill?

As if thats not enough.


Greater customer demands, competitive pressures, and the global economy
Mass customization Shorter product life cycles Product proliferation Pricing pressures/cost reductions Global remote operations

Functional fortresses misalign goals

Conflicting, Mis-Aligned Goals


Low purchase price Many vendors Few changeovers Stable schedules Long run lengths Low inventories Low transport costs High inventories High service levels Regional stocks

Four types of inventory have distinct purposes, drivers and metrics


Purpose Drivers
Production and logistics capacity Demand lift factors Warehouse constraints Hurdle rate Supplier trade programs Anticipated price moves Demand Order frequency Supply and logistics lot size economics Spoilage & obsolescence Demand Variability in demand, supply and lead times Service level objectives

Key Metric(s)
Excess inventory

Build Inventory

Meet demand spikes (season, promotion, new product, etc)

Investment Inventory

Provide return on $ invested

ROI

Cycle Stock

Provide inventory to fill expected customer orders

Turns Cost

Safety Stock

Buffer uncertainty

Fill Rates Cost

All four types have to be managed across a supply chain network.

Supply Chain Trends

Supply Chain initiatives


SCM has led to a variety of corporate initiatives and trends
Push to pull Process orientation Focus on forecasting Sales and Operations Planning Integrated Supply and Demand Planning Use of downstream information Co-management of inventory Collaboration Optimization Postponement Performance Measurement (KPIs)

Listen to the consumer


Use of downstream information, like POS, in forecasting and planning

Distribution Pipeline

Manufacturer Order Forecast

Distribution Pipeline Information ( inventory and sales)

Consumer Demand Information ( POS )

Pay for it when you use it


Greater participation of suppliers in the management of customer inventories
Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) Continuous Replenishment Process (CRP)
Customer sets inventory rules Supplier monitors withdrawals and replenishes in JIT fashion

More than just an enterprise


Interest in supply chain collaboration
