1. 7. Supply Chain Management (SCM)

2. Supply Chain Management  Integration of the activities that procure materials and services, transform them into intermediate goods and the final product, and deliver them to customers  Competition is no longer between companies; it is between supply chains

3. A Sample Supply Chain

4. Supply Chain Strategies  Negotiating with many suppliers  Long term partnering with few suppliers  Vertical integration  Keiretsu (affiliated chain)

5. Many Suppliers  Commonly used for commodity products – many sources per item  Adversarial short term relationship  Infrequent large lots  Purchasing is typically based on price - suppliers are pitted against one another

6. Few Suppliers  Longer term stable relationships  Partnership - JIT programs, design and technological contribution  High quality and possibly low price  Frequent small lots  Cost of changing suppliers is huge

7. Vertical Integration  Ability to produce goods or service previously purchased – make or buy decisions  Integration may be forward, towards the customer, or backward, towards suppliers  Can improve cost, quality, and inventory but requires major financial commitment  Hard to do all things well

8. Vertical Integration Raw material (suppliers) Iron oreSiliconFarming Backward integration Steel Current transformation AutomobilesIntegrated circuitsFlour milling Forward integration Distribution systems Circuit boards Finished goods (customers) Dealers Computers Watches Calculators Baked goods Vertical IntegrationExamples of Vertical Integration

9. Keiretsu Networks (affiliated chain)  A middle ground between few suppliers and vertical integration  Supplier becomes part of the company coalition  Often provide financial support for suppliers through ownership or loans  Members expect long-term relationships and provide technical expertise and stable deliveries  May extend through several levels of the supply chain

10. Make or Buy Decisions 1.Lower production cost 2.Obtain desired quality 3.Assure adequate supply (quantity or delivery) 4.Utilize surplus labor or facilities 5.Protect proprietary design or quality 6.Increase or maintain size of company Reasons for Making

11. Make – or – Buy Decisions 1.Frees management to deal with its primary business 2.Inadequate capacity 3.Reduce inventory costs 4.Ensure alternative sources 5.Inadequate managerial or technical resources 6.Item is protected by a patent or trade secret Reasons for Buying

12. Issues in SCM  Local optimization - focusing on local profit or cost minimization based on limited knowledge  Incentives (sales incentives, quantity discounts, quotas, and promotions) - push merchandise prior to sale  Large lots - low unit cost but do not reflect sales  Bullwhip effect - stable demand becomes lumpy orders through the supply chain

13. Opportunities in SCM  Accurate “pull” data  Lot size reduction  Single stage control of replenishment  Vendor managed inventory  Standardization  Electronic ordering and funds transfer

16. Supply Chain Performance  Inventory Investment =Total Inventory / Total Assets * 100  Example: Inventory: $11.4 billion, Assets: $44.4 billion Inventory investment = 11.4/44/4*100 = 25.7% Manufacturing 20% (Toyota 5%) Wholesale 34% (Coca-Cola 2.9%) Restaurants 2.9% (McDonald’s.05%) Retail 27% (Home Depot 25.7%)

17. Supply Chain Performance  Inventory Turnover =Cost of Goods Sold / Total Inventory  Example: Inventory Turnover = 14.2 / 1.69 = 8.4 Net revenue$32.5 Cost of goods sold$14.2 Inventory: Raw material inventory$.74 Work-in-process inventory$.11 Finished goods inventory$.84 Total inventory investment$1.69

28. Network/Location Decisions  Long-term decisions  Decisions made infrequently  Decision greatly affects both fixed and variable costs  Once committed to a location, many resource and cost issues are difficult to change

29. Critical Factors to Consider  Proximity to raw materials and customers  Labor, availability, costs  Land/construction costs  Government incentives and fiscal policies  Corporate desires  Environmental regulations

30. Methods of Evaluating Locations  Factor Rating Method  Locational Break-Even Analysis  Center of Gravity Method  Transportation Method

31. Factor Rating method  Most widely used location technique 1. Develop a list of relevant factors 2. Assign a weight to each factor 3. Score each location for each factor 4. Multiply score by weights for each factor for each location

32. Example CriticalScores Success(out of 100)Weighted Scores FactorWeightFranceDenmarkFranceDenmark Labor availability and attitude.257060(.25)(70) = 17.5(.25)(60) = 15.0 People-to car ratio.055060(.05)(50) = 2.5(.05)(60) = 3.0 Per capita income.108580(.10)(85) = 8.5(.10)(80) = 8.0 Tax structure.397570(.39)(75) = 29.3(.39)(70) = 27.3 Education and health.216070(.21)(60) = 12.6(.21)(70) = 14.7 Totals 1.0070.468.0

33. Locational Break Even Analysis  Method of cost-volume analysis used for industrial locations 1. Determine fixed and variable costs for each location 2. Plot the cost for each location 3. Select location with lowest total cost for expected production volume

36. Center of Gravity Method  Find location of distribution center that minimizes distribution costs  Consider location of markets, volume of goods shipped to those markets, and shipping cost (or distance) 1. Place existing locations on a coordinate grid 2. Calculate X and Y coordinates for ‘center of gravity’

37. Center of Gravity Method x - coordinate = ∑d ix Q i / ∑Q i Computation of center y - coordinate = ∑d iy Q i / ∑Q i Evaluation of potential locations

45. Location Strategy Service/Retail/Professional Location Goods-Producing Location Assumptions Location is a major determinant of revenue High customer-contact issues are critical Costs are relatively constant for a given area; therefore, the revenue function is critical Location is a major determinant of cost Most major costs can be identified explicitly for each site Low customer contact allows focus on the identifiable costs Intangible costs can be evaluated
