Volkswagon
Unusual elements:
– VW is buying not only materials, but also the
labor and related services
– Suppliers are integrated tightly into VW‟s own
network, right down to assembly work in the
plant
Definition
The process of planning, implementing and controlling
efficient cost effective flow and storage of goods,
services and related information from point of origin
to point of consumption for the purpose of conforming
to customer requirements.

Planning, organizing, directing, &
controlling flows of materials
– Begins with raw materials
– Continues through internal operations
– Ends with distribution of finished goods
Involves everyone in supply-chain
– Example: Your supplier‟s supplier
Objective: Maximize value & lower
waste

The time to act is now!
The first firm in an industry to implement
a real time, interactive logistics information system
will have a competitive advantage, the last firm to do
so doesn't need to spend the money.

Contributes to the bullwhip effect, excess inventory, and
stockouts.

Global Supply-Chain Issues
Supply chains in a global environment must
be:
– flexible enough to react to sudden changes in
parts availability, distribution, or shipping
channels, import duties, and currency rates
– able to use the latest computer and transmission
technologies to manage the shipment of parts in
and finished products out
– staffed with local specialists to handle duties,
trade, freight, customs and political issues
19
Acquisition of goods & services
Activities
– Help decide whether to make or buy
– Identify sources of supply
– Select suppliers & negotiate contracts
– Control vendor performance
Importance Major cost center

21
Motivating Forces: Supply Savings
Example U.S. businesses spend 20-30% of revenue
acquiring goods from outside suppliers
– 60% for manufacturing).
Purchase cost savings have strong impact on
bottom line.
– e.g., if the business saves just 6% in supply costs
($432,000), profit will increase by 45%.
22
Objectives of the Purchasing Function
Help identify the products and services
that can be best obtained externally;
and
Develop, evaluate, and determine the
best supplier, price, and delivery for
those products and services
23
The Purchasing Focus
Materials Management
-High transportation cost
-High inventory costs
Supply Management
-High costs
-Scarcity: national or
international
Source Management
-Unique items
-Custom-made items
-High technology items
Purchasing

Make/Buy Considerations
lower production cost
unsuitable suppliers
assure adequate supply
utilize surplus labor and make a
marginal contribution
obtain desired quantity
remove supplier collusion
obtain a unique item that would
entail a prohibitive commitment
from the supplier
maintain organizational talent
protect proprietary design or
quality
increase/maintain size of
company
Frees management to deal
with primary business lower
acquisition cost
preserve supplier commitment
obtain technical or
management ability
inadequate capacity
reduce inventory costs
ensure flexibility and alternate
source of supply
reciprocity
item is protected by patent or
trade secret
frees management to deal
with its primary business

Purchasing Strategies
28
Supply-Chain Strategies
Negotiate with many suppliers; play one supplier against another
Develop long-term “partnering” arrangements with a few suppliers who will work with you to satisfy the end customer
Vertically integrate; buy the actual supplier
Keiretsu - have your suppliers become part of a company coalition
Create a virtual company that uses suppliers on an as-needed basis.

Japanese word for „affiliated chain‟
System of mutual alliances and
cross-ownership – Company stock is held by allied firms
Lowers need for short-term profits
Links manufacturers, suppliers,
distributors, & lenders – „Partnerships‟ extend across entire supply
chain
Keiretsu Network Strategy
36
© 1995 Corel Corp.
Virtual Company Strategy
Network of independent companies
– Linked by technology PC‟s, faxes, Internet etc.
– Each contributes core competencies
– Typically provide services Payroll, editing, designing
May be long or short-term
– Usually, only until opportunity is met
37
Vendor evaluation – Identifying & selecting potential vendors
Vendor development – Integrating buyer & supplier
Example: Electronic data exchange
Negotiations – Results in contract
– Specifies period of agreement, price, delivery
terms etc.
Vendor Selection Steps
38
Company – Financial stability
– Management
– Location
Product – Quality
– Price
Service – Delivery on time
– Condition on arrival
– Technical support
– Training
Supplier Selection Criteria
39
Negotiation Strategies
Three types:
– cost-based price model - supplier opens its
books to purchaser; price based upon fixed
clause plus escalation clause for materials
and labor
– market-based price model - published price
or index
– competitive bidding - potential suppliers bid
for contract
40
Managing the Supply Chain
Postponement – keeps product generic as long as possible
Channel Assembly – sends to distributor individual components and modules rather than finished goods
Drop Shipping and Special Packaging – supplier will ship to end consumer rather than to seller
Blanket Orders – a long-term purchase commitment to a supplier for items that are to be delivered against short-term releases to ship
Standardization – reducing the number of variations in materials and components
Electronic Ordering and Funds Transfer – “paperless” ordering and 100% material acceptance, payment by “wire”
41
Managing the Supply-Chain - Other Options
Establishing lines of credit for suppliers
Reducing bank “float”
Coordinating production and shipping
schedules with suppliers and distributors
Sharing market research
Making optimal use of warehouse space
Vendor managed inventories
42
Logistics Management
Integrates all materials functions
– Purchasing
– Inventory management
– Production control
– Inbound traffic
– Warehousing and stores
– Incoming quality control
Objective: Efficient, low cost operations
