© 2007 Pearson Education 1-7 What is a Supply Chain? uIntroduction uThe objective of a supply chain

© 2007 Pearson Education 1-8 What is a Supply Chain? uAll stages involved, directly or indirectly, in fulfilling a customer request uIncludes manufacturers, suppliers, transporters, warehouses, retailers, and customers uWithin each company, the supply chain includes all functions involved in fulfilling a customer request (product development, marketing, operations, distribution, finance, customer service)

© 2007 Pearson Education What is a Supply Chain? See Mentzer at al. (2001) for a more precise definition: SC management is defined as the systematic, strategic coordination of the traditional business functions and the tactics across these business functions within a particular company or across businesses within the SC, for the purpose of improving the long-term performance of the individual companies and the SC as a whole. 1-9

© 2007 Pearson Education 1-10 What is a Supply Chain? uCustomer is an integral part of the supply chain uIncludes movement of products from suppliers to manufacturers to distributors, but also includes movement of information, funds, and products in both directions uProbably more accurate to use the term “supply network” or “supply web” uTypical supply chain stages: customers, retailers, distributors, manufacturers, suppliers (Fig. 1.2) uAll stages may not be present in all supply chains (e.g., no retailer or distributor for Dell)

© 2007 Pearson Education 1-11 Flows in a Supply Chain Customer Information Product Funds

© 2007 Pearson Education 1-12 The Objective of a Supply Chain uMaximize overall value created uSupply 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 uValue is correlated to supply chain profitability (difference between revenue generated from the customer and the overall cost across the supply chain)

© 2007 Pearson Education 1-13 The Objective of a Supply Chain uExample: Dell receives $2000 from a customer for a computer (revenue) uSupply chain incurs costs (information, storage, transportation, components, assembly, etc.) uDifference between $2000 and the sum of all of these costs is the supply chain profit uSupply chain profitability is total profit to be shared across all stages of the supply chain uSupply chain success should be measured by total supply chain profitability, not profits at an individual stage

© 2007 Pearson Education 1-14 The Objective of a Supply Chain uSources of supply chain revenue: the customer uSources of supply chain cost: flows of information, products, or funds between stages of the supply chain uSupply chain management is the management of flows between and among supply chain stages to maximize total supply chain profitability

© 2007 Pearson Education 1-15 Decision Phases of a Supply Chain uSupply chain strategy or design uSupply chain planning uSupply chain operation

© 2007 Pearson Education 1-16 Supply Chain Strategy or Design uDecisions about the structure of the supply chain and what processes each stage will perform uStrategic supply chain decisions –Locations and capacities of facilities –Products to be made or stored at various locations –Modes of transportation –Information systems uSupply chain design must support strategic objectives uSupply chain design decisions are long-term and expensive to reverse – must take into account market uncertainty

© 2007 Pearson Education 1-17 Supply Chain Planning uDefinition of a set of policies that govern short-term operations uFixed by the supply configuration from previous phase uStarts with a forecast of demand in the coming year

© 2007 Pearson Education 1-18 Supply Chain Planning uPlanning decisions: –Which markets will be supplied from which locations –Planned buildup of inventories –Subcontracting, backup locations –Inventory policies –Timing and size of market promotions uMust consider in planning decisions demand uncertainty, exchange rates, competition over the time horizon

© 2007 Pearson Education 1-19 Supply Chain Operation uTime horizon is weekly or daily uDecisions regarding individual customer orders uSupply chain configuration is fixed and operating policies are determined uGoal is to implement the operating policies as effectively as possible uAllocate 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

© 2007 Pearson Education 1-20 Process View of a Supply Chain uCycle view: processes in a supply chain are divided into a series of cycles, each performed at the interfaces between two successive supply chain stages uPush/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)

© 2007 Pearson Education Cycle View of a Supply Chain uAt most four cycles: Customer order cycle, Replenishment cycle, Manufacturing cycle, Procurement cycle. uEach Cycle consists of six subprocesses 1-21

© 2007 Pearson Education Cycle View of Supply Chains 1-22 The supplier attempts to forecast customer orders and reduce the cost of receiving order Within each cycle, the goal of the buyer is to ensure product availability and to achieve economics of scale in ordering

© 2007 Pearson Education 1-23 Cycle View of a Supply Chain uEach cycle occurs at the interface between two successive stages uCustomer order cycle (customer-retailer) uReplenishment cycle (retailer-distributor) uManufacturing cycle (distributor-manufacturer) uProcurement cycle (manufacturer-supplier)

© 2007 Pearson Education Cycle View of a Supply Chain uSupply chain seen as a series of cycles of communication occurring between each two consecutive stages. uThe cycles share the same type of communication, since there will always be a buyer and a supplier. uThe further we go from the customer, the bigger the scale of the transactions. uCycle view clearly defines processes involved and the owners of each process. Specifies the roles and responsibilities of each member and the desired outcome of each process. 1-24

© 2007 Pearson Education Cycle View of a Supply Chain uThe cycle that surely presents uncertainty to the supply chain is the customer cycle, since it contains an external buyer agent (the customer). uOther risks are present when the supply chain includes several organizations, and are strictly related with the supplier strategies. uFor example, in the case of bottleneck products, the risk of not being able to fulfill a demand must be countered by securing supply sources. 1-25

© 2007 Pearson Education 1-26 Push/Pull View of Supply Chains Procurement, Manufacturing and Replenishment cycles Customer Order Cycle Customer Order Arrives PUSH PROCESSESPULL PROCESSES

© 2007 Pearson Education 1-27 Push/Pull View of Supply Chain Processes uSupply chain processes fall into one of two categories depending on the timing of their execution relative to customer demand uPull: execution is initiated in response to a customer order (reactive) uPush: execution is initiated in anticipation of customer orders (speculative) uPush/pull boundary separates push processes from pull processes uCan combine the push/pull and cycle views uThe relative proportion of push and pull processes can have an impact on supply chain performance

© 2007 Pearson Education Supply Chain Macro Processes in a Firm uFrom a Business Intelligence solution perspective, SCM means the partial management of all supply chains that cross the boundaries of the targeted organization, meaning: u–the internal supply chains(ISCM), u–the relationships with the suppliers(SRM) u–and the relationships with the customers CRM), u–but alternatively also other integrated parts of the supply uchain that occur at partner stages. 1-28

© 2007 Pearson Education 1-29 Supply Chain Macro Processes in a Firm uSupply chain processes discussed in the two views can be classified into : –Customer Relationship Management (CRM) –Internal Supply Chain Management (ISCM) –Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) uIntegration among the above three macro processes is critical for effective and successful supply chain management
