A New Competitive Environment Increasing numbers of world class global competitors Sophisticated customer base More performance at lower cost Widely available information sources Balance of power between buyers and suppliers Greater levels of outsourcing 3
4
Factors Driving SCM Low cost and wide availability of information more closely links members of a supply chain Competition in domestic and international markets requires greater quickness, agility, and flexibility 4
5
Factors Driving SCM Customer expectations and requirements are constantly changing and more demanding Major supply disruptions require the ability of a supply chain to react rapidly Competition is now between supply chains, not just between companies 5
6
Why Purchasing Is Important Increasing value and savings by supply management or marketing? Building relationships and driving innovation Improving quality and reputation Reducing time-to-market Generating economic impact Contributing to competitive advantage 6
7
Increasing Value and Savings Suppliers have substantial impact on a firm’s total cost Many product features originate from suppliers In manufacturing, purchased content is more than 55% of revenues Avoiding costs through early involvement in product design stage 7
8
Building Relationships and Driving Innovation Traditional approach is to bargain hard for price reductions New approach is to conduct joint cost reduction with suppliers Both buyer and supplier must benefit Suppliers can contribute innovative ideas 8
9
Improving Quality and Reputation Buyer focuses on core competencies and outsources non-core activities and materials Need for ability to track materials back up through supplier’s supply chain Supplier quality product quality (Example of Heparin) 9
10
Reducing Time-to-Market Include suppliers early in product design process to take advantage of their expertise Early supplier involvement can lead to an average of 20% improvement on material costs, material quality, and product development times 10
11
Generating Economic Impact The monthly ISM Report on Business is a closely followed national economic indicator A change index Manufacturing and non-manufacturing components > 50 means economy is expanding < 50 means economy is contracting 11
12
Contributing to Competitive Advantage Growing recognition of supply management’s contribution to firm’s profitability More supply managers have earned college degrees Increased number of supply managers with certifications such as CPSM 12

15
Purchasing Activities Supplier identification and selection Buying Negotiation and contracting Supply market research Supplier measurement and improvement Purchasing systems development 15

23
Enablers of Purchasing and SCMCapable Human Resources View the supply chain holistically Manage critical relationships Understand the business model Engage in fact-based decision making Practice advanced cost management Understand electronic business systems Proper Organizational Design Centrally-led supply teams Executive responsibility for coordination purchasing and supply chain activities Collocation of supply personnel with internal customers Cross-functional teams to manage supply chain processes Supply strategy coordination and review sessions between business units Executive buyer-supplier council to coordinate with suppliers Real-TimeCollaborativeTechnology Capabilities Demand planning Order commitment, scheduling, and production management Distribution and transportation planning Material replenishment Reverse auctions Electronic data interchange Right Measures and Measurement Systems Use data from visible sources Quantify what creates value Use goals that change over time Rely on benchmarking to establish performance targets Link to business goals and objectives Feature efficiency and effectiveness measures Assign ownership and accountability
24
Capable Human Resources Supplier relationship management Total cost analysis Purchasing strategies Supplier analysis Competitive market analysis Need for close collaboration with suppliers Need for close internal coordination 24

Proper Organizational Design Assessing and selecting structure and formal system of communication Division of labor Coordination Control Authority Responsibility 25
26
Real-Time Collaborative Technology Capabilities Supply chain planning Improve forecast accuracy Optimize production scheduling Reduce working capital costs Shorten life cycles Reduce transportation costs Improve customer service 26
27
Real-Time Collaborative Technology Capabilities Supply chain execution Obtaining materials Managing physical flows Lean supply 27
28
Emerging SCM Technologies Global positioning systems (GPS) Internet-based systems Bar codes Radio frequency identification devices (RFID) Hand-held, wireless devices Voice recognition 28
29
Right Measures and Measurement Systems Roadblocks Too many metrics Debate over the correct metrics Constantly changing metrics Old data 29
30
Right Measures and Measurement Systems Overcoming roadblocks Know what to measure Have a process in place to measure it Have accessibility to the data 30
31
