Historical Context

Forecasting with ad-hoc Excel spreadsheets Excel Many key elements were being factored into the forecasts (life cycle profile, seasonality, price drops, etc.) No robust mechanism for handling key forecast elements Limited ability to track the impact of changes or events (e.g., price reductions, high channel inventory, big deals) No mechanism for rigorous analysis of forecast metrics (accuracy, bias, etc.) Little consistency or sharing of best practices among analysts No aggregate analysis & reporting capability or process

Business Conditions & Requirements


Forecast accuracy critical to platform profitability Long lead times (Asian sourcing) Short product life cycle (PLC) Run-rate actuals not available until late in build cycle Existing spreadsheet methodology was lacking in robustness and statistical rigor Investigation showed time-series methods to be ineffective for short PLC products Tool & process requirements: & a uniform forecast-generating process ability to rigorously represent PLC profiles, seasonality, & events capture of best practices better documentation of forecast assumptions forecast accuracy feedback loop aggregate analysis capability (due to product line convergence)

John Solomon .

Was VP Consumer Imaging & Printing, IPG North America now promoted IPG Executive Sponsor Forecast accuracy, a critical metric for business management, improved through the use of the PLC tool. The implementation of PLC tool has increased analyst productivity: PLC It allowed the analysts to spend more time on understanding business trends and developing insights. The PLC tool raised the quality of the aggregate views and insight provided to management. PLC Analysts are more easily able to share best practices and learnings after standardizing on the PLC tool.

ESS EMEA SC network optimization


Problem Statement:

The current ESS EMEA Supply Chain is complex; having numerous nodes and diverse product routings from source through to the customer delivery point

Confidential Data Removed

Objective

Define the optimum ESS EMEA Supply Chain network structure i.e. determine the number and location of all the nodes in the network ESS EMEA

Customer Feedback

SPaM helped us to clearly identify the cost implications of the various network node scenarios and in particular the cost drivers. Based on the results we have started the implementation of a merge centre at what was determined as the optimum location, from the available alternatives and we are now re-scoping the product being considered for a potential future distribution centre. SPaM

Recommendation : Number & location of inbound (VMI) HUBs feeding the 2 HP manufacturing sites (VMI)hub HP Number & location of finished goods (SOI) HUBs & distribution points shipping finished product to either the customer or the consolidation points hub Number & location of consolidation points merging product & shipping to the customer

Findings and approach :


2 DCs looks to provide no advantage but has adverse cost 2 DC Little or nothing to choose between having and not having a DC with (provider) having the slight edge but deltas are within noise level of the analysis Exception - Merged orders entirely sourced from DC up to X days TAT X TAT SC network optimization through MIP modeling SPaM MIP SPaM

Katowice Timisoara

Kladno Sarvar

Project Findings & Recommendations:


6M annual savings possible in EE with loosened outbound transit time and splitting some products on two PCCs 600 For IPG product completion operations, EE labor savings are mostly offset by freight increases. IPG Total costs vary greatly between different locations and for different product lines. For IPG EMEA Hardware X is the preferred representative location IPG EMEA X

IPG Eastern Europe Supply Chain Network Analysis IPG


Customer Feedback:
SPaMs professional approach and use of an optimization model helped IPG EMEA Management understand the key drivers for and against putting PCC content in EE. This provides an excellent basis for our decision making process. SPaM helped us identify a 6M cost saving opportunity by using an EE PCC location. We appreciate SPaMs dedication & involvement during, but also after the project when building consensus in the management team and developing a path forward.

When do we source from Guadalajara? Guadalajara

For certain products:


When they play to Mexicos strengths: low margin, relatively heavy products which devalue fast:
PCs, desktop printers, VCRs, DVDs, etc.. VCR/DVD

Avoid products where competitive advantage is low: high margin, low devaluation rate products
high end servers, high end printers, etc..

When structure improves:


Improve infrastructure to increases proximity advantages: ports, roads, custom clearance processes. Work to gain a tax break for local product introduction to offset Asian & Irish advantage

IPG / PSG - NA Call Center Transition Cost Analysis IPG/PSG NA


An integrated cost-benefit analysis of ramps
We are moving call centers to India to take advantage of lower cost per call minute. These moves result in reduced CSAT while the new centers are ramping as well as HP training + transition costs. CAST Tell us: Are the moves to India in HPs best interest? HP Develop a model that allows us to run alternative call center scenarios to determine the cost and benefit associated with our transition plans. Sample Expected Values and ranges for NPV ($K) $

Project innovation: Integrated cost model includes quantification of repurchase rate changes due to customer satisfaction increase or decrease.

Customer Feedback: This project exceeded all my expectations; the financial modeling was exceptional. The team provided us a good model to run different call center ramp scenarios, and highlighted the importance of changing partner contracts to focus on pooled call volumes. We expect to save >$4M per year as a result of the transition of our business to offshore locations. This tool will allow us to plan the type of partner ramps we can afford and effectively predict breakeven and savings over time. Thank you!

NPV includes: - CSAT delta costs (using system profits) CAST - Operating costs - Startup costs, including training All India ramps positive NPV within first year!

Design for Supply Chain (DfSC)

DfSC
Systematically trade off responsiveness, material, and supply chain costs to maximize profitability Variety Control Logistics Enhancement Commonality and Re-Use /

Trade off supply chain costs against sales impacts to determine feature set / Example: all DVD-R, no CD-Readers. 1.2 and 1.4 processors, no 1.3

Redesign product and or packaging to improve density factor, size and/or optimize # per pallet/load / / Example: 10 PCs in bulk pack for corporate customers replaces 10 packed separately

Make components, modules, interfaces, platforms common now and in future

Examples: 15 rack versions become 7, same printer architecture for large format, business, and home photo printers

Tax and Duty Reduction Postponement Take Back Facilitation


Variety of HPs Service Providers HP

Modify product to allow process resequencing and postponed differentiation Example: generic printer engine from Asia becomes localized DeskJet in Europe.

Change build location and transfer price Example: make storage hardware feature soft, give software business unit high transfer price, burn disks in tax haven, air ship to final configuration in region.

Product and packaging changes to reduce reverse supply chain costs

Example: socket instead of solder high value components, chassis snaps together and apart without special tools.
