  1. Understanding the Supply Chain Spring, 2014 Supply Chain Management:Strategy, Planning, and Operation Chapter 1 Byung-Hyun Ha

  2. Outline • Introduction • What is a supply chain? • Objective of a supply chain • Decision phases of a supply chain • Process view of a supply chain • Supply chain macro processes in a firm • Examples of supply chains

  3. Introduction • Traditional view: logistics in the US economy (2006, 2007) • Freight Transportation $809, $856 Billion • Inventory Expense $446, $487 Billion • Administrative Expense $50, $54 Billion • Total Logistics Costs $1.31, $1.4 Trillion • Logistics Related Activity 10%, 10.1% of GNP

  4. Introduction • Traditional view: logistics in the manufacturing firm • Profit 4% • Logistics Cost 21% • Marketing Cost 27% • Manufacturing Cost 48% Profit Logistics Cost Marketing Cost Manufacturing Cost

  5. Introduction • Supply chain management: the magnitude in the traditional view • Estimated that the grocery industry could save $30 billion (10% of operating cost) by using effective logistics and supply chain strategies • A typical box of cereal spends 104 days from factory to sale • A typical car spends 15 days from factory to dealership • Laura Ashley turns its inventory 10 times a year, five times faster than 3 years ago

  6. Introduction • Supply chain management: the true magnitude • Compaq estimates it lost $.5 billion to $1 billion in sales in 1995 because laptops were not available when and where needed • When the 1 GHz processor was introduced by AMD, the price of the 800 MHz processor dropped by 30% • P&G estimates it saved retail customers $65 million by collaboration resulting in a better match of supply and demand

  7. What is a Supply Chain? • Supply chain goal • Fulfilling a customer request • Supply chain components • Across companies (stages) • Manufacturers, suppliers, transporters, warehouses, retailers, customers • Within each company • Product development, marketing, operations, distribution, finance, customer service • Customer is also an integral part of the supply chain • Flows • Movement of products from suppliers to customers • Movement of information, funds, and productsin both directions

  8. What is a Supply Chain? • Detergent supply chain (Wal-Mart) P&G or other manufacturer Wal-Mart orthird partyDC Wal-Mart Store Customer wants detergent and goes to Wal-Mart Plastic Producer Tenneco Packaging Chemical manufacturer (e.g. Oil Company) Chemical manufacturer (e.g. Oil Company) Paper Manufacturer Timber Industry

  9. What is a Supply Chain? • “Supply network” or “supply web” • All stages may not be present in all supply chains • e.g., no retailer or distributor for Dell

  10. Objective of a Supply Chain • Maximize overall value (surplus) created! • Supply chain value • Difference between what the final product is worth to the customer and the effort the supply chain expends in filling the customer’s request • Value is correlated to supply chain profitability • Difference between revenue generated from the customer and the overall cost across the supply chain • Supply chain profitability • Total profit to be shared across all stages of the supply chain • Supply chain success should be measured by total supply chain profitability, not profits at an individual stage

  11. Objective of a Supply Chain • Revenue and cost structure • Sources of supply chain revenue: the customer • Sources of supply chain cost: flows of information, products, or funds between stages of the supply chain • Supply chain management • Management of flows between and among supply chain stages to maximize total supply chain profitability! Supplier Intra-organizational optimization Manufacturer Retailer Customer Inter-organizational optimization

  12. Decision Phases of a Supply Chain • Supply chain strategy or design • Long-term planning • Supply chain planning • Mid-range planning • Supply chain operation • Short-term planning and control  Uncertainty and variability  Decision-making in terms of impact on surplus • e.g., retailing in U.S. and India

  13. Decision Phases of a Supply Chain • Supply chain strategy or design • Decisions about the structure of the supply chain and what processes each stage will perform • Strategic supply chain decisions • Locations and capacities of facilities • Products to be made or stored at various locations • Modes of transportation • Information systems • Supply chain design must support strategic objectives • Supply chain design decisions are long-term and expensive to reverse – must take into account market uncertainty

  14. Decision Phases of a Supply Chain • Supply chain planning • Definition of a set of policies that govern short-term operations • Fixed by the supply configuration from previous phase • Starts with a forecast of demand in the coming year • Planning decisions • Which markets will be supplied from which locations • Planned buildup of inventories • Subcontracting, backup locations • Inventory policies • Timing and size of market promotions • Must consider in planning decisions demand uncertainty, exchange rates, competition over the time horizon

  15. Decision Phases of a Supply Chain • Supply chain operation • Time horizon is weekly or daily • Decisions regarding individual customer orders • Supply chain configuration is fixed and operating policies are determined • Implement the operating policies as effectively as possible • Allocate orders to inventory or production • Set order due dates • Generate pick lists at a warehouse • Allocate an order to a particular shipment • Set delivery schedules • Place replenishment orders • Much less uncertainty (short time horizon)

  16. Process View of a Supply Chain • Cycle view • processes in a supply chain are divided into a series of cycles, each performed at the interfaces between two successive supply chain stages • Push/pull view • processes in a supply chain are divided into two categories depending on whether they are executed in response to a customer order (pull) or in anticipation of a customer order (push)

  17. Process View of a Supply Chain • Cycle view of supply chains

  18. Process View of a Supply Chain • Cycle view of supply chains Supplier stagemarkets products Buyer returns reverseflows to supplier orthird party Buyer stage placesorder Buyer stage receives order Supplier stagereceives order Supplier stagesupplies order

  19. Process View of a Supply Chain • Push/pull view of supply chains • Pull (reactive) • Execution is initiated in response to a customer order • Push (speculative) • Execution is initiated in anticipation of customer orders

  20. Process View of a Supply Chain • Push/pull view of supply chains • Push/pull boundary • Useful in considering strategic decisions relating to supply chain design • More global view of how supply chain processes relate to customer orders • The relative proportion of push and pull processes can have an impact on supply chain performance

  21. Supply Chain Macro Processes in a Firm • Customer relationship management (CRM) • Internal supply chain management (ISCM) • Supplier relationship management (SRM) supplier firm customer SRM ISCM CRM Source Negotiate Buy Design collaboration Supply collaboration Strategic planning Demand planning Supply planning Fulfillment Field service Market Price Sell Call center Order management

  22. Examples of Supply Chains • Gateway • Zara • McMaster Carr / W.W. Grainger • Toyota • Amazon / Borders / Barnes and Noble • Webvan / Peapod / Jewel • HW1: Read and understand the examples.
