17-2 Supply chain risk management Product complexity Regulatory Resource availability Security
17-3 Supply chain risk management
17-4 Balanced scorecards had expanded supply chain performance measures to include return on assets and revenue Sustainability of business operations is critical and led to more long-term focus in strategy development
17-5
17-6 New product introductions and global expansion bring significant challenges to the supply chain Sustainable supply chains must mitigate, respond and recover from likely risks ◦ Product complexity ◦ Regulatory challenges ◦ Resource availability ◦ Security threats
17-7
17-8 Product complexity
17-9 Increased complexity results in higher supply chain cost ◦ More inventory, fewer economies of scale and more management attention Increase complexity often results in increased revenue ◦ May improve profitability and asset utilization Less complexity (aka more commonality) reduces supply chain costs ◦ E.g. Toyota has only two variants for auto door latches while competitors have over 10 Reduced product variations may lower sales ◦ Firm’s offerings are less attractive with fewer features or characteristics
17-10
17-11 Regulatory
17-12 Promote activity ◦ Encourage certain work in a specific country or region by providing financial or tax incentives Constrain activity ◦ Limit types of activities that can be done in a country or region to reduce impacts Some examples ◦ Environmental ◦ Financial and taxation
17-13 Green initiatives include regulations and activities to directly reduce the supply chain’s impact on the environment Examples ◦ Federal government mandate to reduce harmful vehicle emissions ◦ WalMart effort with suppliers to reduce packaging waste ◦ Dow Chemical redesign of supply chain to reduce environmental impact
17-14 Numerous US states encourage container returns by requiring deposits for consumer beverage containers Wastes of Electric and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) legislation passed in European Union ◦ Requires recycling of electronic waste How active should a firm be in promoting recycling initiatives through public policy? Who should design the reverse logistics systems? ◦ Public policy and legislators? ◦ Private enterprise?
17-15 Governments are responsible for ◦ Facilitating the movement of people and goods across borders ◦ Safety of people, commerce and country Traditional focus of government agencies has been control of trade Contemporary focus is shifting to trade facilitation and securing supply chain operations with trusted partner countries
17-16 Resource availability
17-17 Changes in availability of resources dramatically changes supply chain design and operations Key resources include ◦ Supply chain expertise ◦ Transport capability Outsourcing is one method of managing this risk
17-18 Diesel fuel represents 30% of overall transportation cost ◦ Dramatic shifts in fuel costs require regular assessments of network structure and strategy Fuel price volatility has two impacts on supply chain decisions ◦ Influences the viability and flow of global trade ◦ May change domestic logistics network
17-19 U.S. Diesel Fuel Prices Since 1994 (in USD per gallon)
17-20 Use of third-party logistics (3PL) firms or logistics integrators to provide services on a contractual basis ◦ 3PL providers offer integrated transportation and warehousing services ◦ Integrated service providers Solicit and coordinate logistics services Provide resource management expertise Shift risk of a supply chain activity to an outsourcing partner with expertise Pooling capacity across clients results in a lower risk of not being able to meet customer demands in a surge
17-21 Security
17-22 Developing a secure supply chain Rationale for supply chain protection Cross-border operations
17-23 Supply chain security is: ◦ the application of policies, procedures, and technology ◦ to protect assets, product, facilities, equipment, information and personnel ◦ from theft, damage, or terrorism ◦ and to prevent the introduction to the supply chain of unauthorized contraband, people, or weapons of mass destruction
17-24 Resiliency is the ability of the supply chain to withstand and recover form an incident Resilient supply chains: ◦ Are proactive in anticipating and establishing steps to prevent and respond to security incidents ◦ Can quickly rebuild or reestablish alternative means of operations when they experience a security incident
17-25 Proactively enhance supply chain resiliency against terrorism Consequences of supply chain security failures ◦ Terrorist attack causes widespread disruption to customer delivery capabilities ◦ Reduced brand equity if customers believe attack was due to neglect ◦ Loss of revenue leads to loss of investor confidence and sale of stock ◦ Disruption could increase regulatory scrutiny ◦ Terrorist attack could result in significant legal liability
17-26 Brand protection is the primary reason ◦ Fear product contamination will damage customer perceptions ◦ Firms now require greater security from their suppliers with initiatives such as quality certification programs, audits, the Customs- Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) Government pressure is another factor ◦ Bioterrorism Act of 2002 Firms engaged in food processing must be able to trace raw materials and finished goods one step up and one step down the supply chain ◦ “Country of origin labeling” (COOL) guidelines have been developed for some agricultural and food products
17-27 Certify known shippers through self-appraisals of security procedures coupled with customs audits and verifications For a more detailed discussion regarding C- TPAT select the URL link: p/cgov/trade/car go_security/ctpat /what_ctpat/ p/cgov/trade/car go_security/ctpat /what_ctpat/
17-28 Pre-screening of containers coupled with fast tracking when cargo reaches the U.S.A. A more detailed description can be found by selecting the URL link: gov/xp/cgov/tra de/cargo_securit y/csi/ gov/xp/cgov/tra de/cargo_securit y/csi/
17-29 Advanced Manifest Rule (AMR) ◦ Requires detailed cargo data before shipping to or from the U.S.A. Examples of how AMR has influenced border operations CustomsToday/2004/Mar ch/Other/rules_cargosecu rity.xml CustomsToday/2004/Mar ch/Other/rules_cargosecu rity.xml Advanced Cargo Information (ACI) ◦ Requires more detailed information prior to acceptance into U.S. Free and Secure Trade (FAST) ◦ Allows low-risk goods transported by trusted carriers for trusted firms to pass rapidly through border crossings For a more detailed discussion, select URL link: v/xp/cgov/trade/ca rgo_security/ctpat/f ast/ v/xp/cgov/trade/ca rgo_security/ctpat/f ast/
