Supply-Chain Strategy Support Supplier’s goal Primary Selection Criteria Supply demand at lowest possible cost Select primarily for cost Low Cost Respond quickly to changing requirements and demand to minimize stockouts Select primarily for capacity, speed, and flexibility Response Share market research; jointly develop products and options Select primarily for product development skills Differentiation

7. Supply-Chain Strategy Support Process Characteristics Maintain high average utilization Low Cost Invest in excess capacity and flexible processes Response Modular processes that lend themselves to mass customization Inventory Characteristics Minimize inventory throughout the chain to hold down costs Develop responsive system, with buffer stocks positioned to ensure supply Minimize inventory in the chain to avoid obsolescence Differentiation

8. Supply-Chain Strategy Support Lead-time Characteristics Shorten lead- time as long as it does not increase costs Low Cost Invest aggressively to reduce production lead-time Response Invest aggressively to reduce development lead-time Differentiation Product-design Characteristics Maximize performance and minimize cost Use product designs that lead to low set- up time and rapid production ramp-up Use modular design to postpone product differentiation for as long as possible

9. Global Supply-Chain Issues Supply chains in a global environment must be: Flexible enough to react to sudden changes in parts availability, distribution, or shipping channels, import duties, and currency rates Able to use the latest computer and transmission technologies to schedule and manage the shipment of parts in and finished products out Staffed with local specialists to handle duties, trade, freight, customs and political issues

10. Major cost center Affects quality of final product Aids strategy of low cost, response, and differentiation Importance of Purchasing

28. Virtual Companies Companies that rely on a variety of supplier relationships to provide services on demand. Also known as hollow corporations, or network corporations

29. © 1995 Corel Corp. Virtual Company Strategy Network of independent companies Linked by technology PC’s, faxes, Internet etc. Each contributes core competencies Typically provide services Payroll, editing, designing May be long or short-term Usually, only until opportunity is met

30. Managing the Supply-Chain Options : Postponement – keeps product generic as long as possible Channel Assembly – sends to distributor individual components and modules rather than finished goods Drop Shipping and Special Packaging – supplier will ship to end consumer rather than to seller Blanket Orders – a long-term purchase commitment to a supplier for items that are to be delivered against short-term releases to ship Standardization – reducing the number of variations in materials and components Electronic Ordering and Funds Transfer – “paperless” ordering and 100% material acceptance, payment by “wire” Internet purchasing (e-procurement)

31. Managing the Supply-Chain Other Options: Establishing lines of credit for suppliers Reducing bank “float” Coordinating production and shipping schedules with suppliers and distributors Sharing market research Making optimal use of warehouse space Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI)

32. Successful Management Requires: A mutual agreement on goals Trust Compatible organizational cultures Local optimization Careful use of incentives Large lots vs. small lots

33. Vendor evaluation Identifying & selecting potential vendors Vendor development Integrating buyer & supplier Example: Electronic data exchange Negotiations Results in contract Specifies period of agreement, price, delivery terms etc. Vendor Selection Steps

34. Company Financial stability Management Location Product Quality Price Service Delivery on time Condition on arrival Technical support Training Vendor Selection Criteria

35. Vendor Selection Rating Form

36. Vendor Concerns: Desire for diversification Poor customer scheduling Engineering changes Quality assurance standards Small lot sizes Proximity

37. Negotiation Strategies Three types: Cost-based price model - supplier opens its books to purchaser; price based upon fixed cost plus escalation clause for materials and labor Market-based price model - published price or index Competitive bidding - potential suppliers bid for contract

41. E-Commerce The use of computer networks, primarily the internet, to buy and sell products, services, and information.

42. E-Business “… all about cycle time, speed, globalization, enhanced productivity, reaching new customers and sharing knowledge across institutions for competitive advantage.” Louis Gerstner, Chairman, IBM

43. E-Commerce Definitions Business-to business (B2B) Both sides of the transaction are businesses, non-profit organizations, or governments. Business-to-consumer (B2C) E-commerce transactions where customers are individual consumers Consumer-to-consumer (C2C) Consumers sell directly to each other. Consumer-to-business (C2B) Individuals sell services or goods to businesses

44. Types of Information Offered by B2B Applications Product - drawings, specifications, video or simulation demonstrations, prices Production Processes - capacities, commitments, product plans Transportation - carriers, lead times, costs Inventory - inventory tracking, levels, costs, and location

45. Types of Information Offered by B2B Applications Suppliers - product catalogue, quality history, lead times, terms, and conditions Supply Chain Alliances - key contact, partners’ roles and responsibilities, and schedules Supply Chain Process and Performance - process descriptions, performance measures such as quality and delivery

46. Types of Information Offered by B2B Applications Sales and Marketing - point-of-sale (POS) data entry, promotions, pricing, discounts Customer - sales history and forecasts

47. E-Commerce Security This is a serious issue! Multiple deprivation of service attacks on e- commerce web sites 2/6 - 2/11, 2000; also, the attack of October 21, 2002, which flooded all 13 of the root servers of the Internet Domain Name System (DNS) (on main internet servers) Security of data, proprietary business information Impact on the volume of sales and on the bottom line

48. Benefits of E-commerce Improved, lower cost information Lower entry costs Available 24/7, virtually anywhere in the world Availability expands markets for both buyers and sellers Decreases the cost of paper-based information Reduces the cost of communication Provides richer communication than traditional means Fast delivery of digitized products Increased flexibility of location

49. Limitations of E-commerce Lack of system security, reliability and standards Lack of privacy Insufficient bandwidth Integrating e-commerce software with existing software is still a challenge Lack of trust in (1) unknowns on the other end of the transaction, (2) integrity of the transaction itself, and(3) electronic money that is only bits and bytes

50. Impact on Product Design Shorter life cycles require faster product development and lead to time-based competition Greater use of shared knowledge and collaboration - decreased development costs More data sharing with suppliers and strategic partners

51. E-Procurement Purchasing or order release communicated over the internet or via approved online vendor catalogues Significant savings (10%) Requires new skills and staffing in procurement area

52. Online Catalogues Information about products made available in electronic form via the Internet. Provided by vendors Developed by buyers Provided by intermediaries Often incorporate voice and video

53. Internet Trading Exchanges Health care products: set up by Johnson & Johnson, G.E. Medical Systems, Baxter International, Abbott Laboratories, and Medtronic Inc.; called the Global Health Care Exchange (ghx.com) Defense and aerospace products: created by Boeing, Raytheon, Lockheed-Martin, and Britain’s BAE Systems; called the Aerospace and Defense Industry Trading Exchange (exostar.com) Food, beverage, consumer products: set up by 49 leading food and beverage firms; called Transora (transora.com) Retail goods: setup by Sears and France’s Carrefour; called Global Net Xchange, for retailers (gnx)

56. On-Line Medical Supply Chain On-line Global Health Care Automated web- based processes Hospital Group purchasing organization for small, independent hospitals DistributorSupplier

57. E-Commerce and Requests for Quotes (RFQs) Extensive databases of supplier information, and ability to rapidly transfer specifications to vendors reduces time and costs

58. Online Auctions Useful for disposing of excess raw material, and discontinued and excess inventory Online auctions lower entry barriers and increase the potential number of customers

59. Inventory Tracking Mass customization requires knowledge of location of all goods Requires data collection, barcode technology, RF and electronic communications to track inventory in transit, on the shop floor, and in the warehouse Customers can learn what is happening with their order

60. Warehousing for E-Commerce E-commerce warehouse is less a warehouse than a “pass through facility.”

61. FedEx and Dell Computer FedEx operates warehouses that pick, pack, test, and assemble products, then handle delivery and even customs clearance FedEx’s “Virtual Order”integrates different companies web catalogues and customer orders for Dell; and then fulfills orders and delivers them through its fleet of trucks and planes.

62. E-Commerce and JIT E-commerce coordinates the supplier’s inventory system with the service capabilities of the delivery firm.

63. Scheduling and Logistics Improvements Coordinated pickup and delivery Fed Ex merges orders in transit Logistics cost reduction Greater capacity utilization
