Unlocking the potential in a supply chain:the opportunity
"supply chains compete, not companies" “Supply chain is the new value chain”
(Christopher, 2002; 2011)
• Supply strategies significantly impact upon a firms performance (Christopher and Ryals, 1999, Keah-Choon et al., 1999)
• Companies have far too often attempted to optimise their own value chains, without considering the effect of these decisions on their suppliers or customers (Chopra and Meindl, 2004)
• Supply chain professionals are in an outstanding position to impact sustainability practices (Carter and Rodgers, 2008)
![Page 5: Issues and Trends in Supply Chain Management](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062904/5876982b1a28abab2f8b7393/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
What is supply chain management?
• Supply chain management is “the management of upstream and downstream relationships with suppliers and customers in order to deliver superior customer value at less cost to the supply chain as a whole”
(Christopher, 2010)

Procurement (or supply management)
Choosing suppliers based on price, quality & delivery (Greasley, 2013)
Approved supplier listsSystem of supplier rating based on performance criteria
Single sourcing or multi sourcing?
Outsourcing?Offshoring?
![Page 10: Issues and Trends in Supply Chain Management](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062904/5876982b1a28abab2f8b7393/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
“Puts procurement at the heart of Scotland’s economic recovery“
“Procurement as an integral part of policy development and service delivery”.
“Like all good ideas, it’s a simple concept - business friendly and socially responsible. Looking at outcomes not outputs, it uses the power of public spend to deliver genuine public value beyond simply cost and /or quality in purchasing”.
The Scottish Government (Accessed: 1/10/15)
See: http://www.gov.scot/Topics/Government/Procurement/about/spd-aims
Example: The Scottish Model of Procurement

LogisticsLogistics is the process of strategically managing the procurement, movement and storage of materials, parts and finished inventory (and the related information flows) through the organization and its marketing channels in such a way that current and future profitability are maximized through the cost-effective fulfillment of orders.
(Source: Christopher, 2010)
Components of an integrated logistics system:
External Supply: links suppliers to operations processInternal Operations: manages in-process material flowPhysical Distribution: links operations process to customers
![Page 12: Issues and Trends in Supply Chain Management](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062904/5876982b1a28abab2f8b7393/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Measuring Supply Chain Performance
Supply Chain Council, V9, (2010)
![Page 13: Issues and Trends in Supply Chain Management](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062904/5876982b1a28abab2f8b7393/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
How should I design my supply chain to optimise performance?
• Where to locate facilities?• Long-term capacity planning• How to cooperate to provide
customer satisfaction?• Impact on ensuring a sustainable
future?
![Page 14: Issues and Trends in Supply Chain Management](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062904/5876982b1a28abab2f8b7393/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Variability in the supply chain• Need for cooperation in order to limit fluctuations in demand which occurs
in supply networks and affects performance (Greasley, 2013)
• Variability is affected by the time lag between ordering materials and getting them delivered to the customer (Greasley, 2013). Can be expressed as ‘lead time gap’
Lead Time Gap = Logistics Pipeline – Customer Order Cycle Time
Where:Logistics pipeline = Time to source materials, convert them into products and move them to the marketplaceCustomer order cycle time = how long the customer is prepared to wait for the product
![Page 15: Issues and Trends in Supply Chain Management](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062904/5876982b1a28abab2f8b7393/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Lead time componentsSource: Christopher (2011)
Which activity add cost and which add value?
![Page 16: Issues and Trends in Supply Chain Management](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062904/5876982b1a28abab2f8b7393/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Overcoming the lead time gap
• How best to ensure sufficient stock is available to meet customer demand?
• Avoid over ordering?
Lowson et al., (1999) noted that getting this wrong can be costly, for example loses in the apparel pipeline have been estimated at 25% of retail sales (i.e. forced markdowns 14.6%, stock-outs 4%, and the carrying cost of inventory 6.4%).
Taylor et al., (2008) ask one important sales consideration: determining how much work in process, in-transit stock, and finished goods to have on hand to support sales at a desired service level?
![Page 17: Issues and Trends in Supply Chain Management](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062904/5876982b1a28abab2f8b7393/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Overcoming the lead time gap (2)
• Order batching (placing orders when a predetermined batch size is reached) can cause a mismatch between demand and the order quantity
• Price fluctuations (i.e. price cuts, quantity discounts) leads to demand variability as companies buy products before actually needed
The Beer Game: http://supplychain.mit.edu/supply-chain-games/beer-game/http://www.beergame.lim.ethz.ch
• Effects amplified across the supply chain – the bullwhip effect (Forrester, 1961)
• Behavior is caused due to a lack of synchronisation between supply chain members
• Given appropriate conditions, eliminating the bullwhip effect can increase product profitability by 10–30% (Metters, 1997)
![Page 18: Issues and Trends in Supply Chain Management](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062904/5876982b1a28abab2f8b7393/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Sources of risk and supply chain vulnerability
Christopher & Peck (2004)
![Page 19: Issues and Trends in Supply Chain Management](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062904/5876982b1a28abab2f8b7393/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Creating the resilient supply chain
‘the ability of a system to return to its original (or desired) state after being disturbed’
• Encourages a whole system perspective
• Explicitly accepts that disturbances happen
• Implies adaptability to changing circumstances
(Peck and Christopher, 2008)
![Page 20: Issues and Trends in Supply Chain Management](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062904/5876982b1a28abab2f8b7393/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The agile supply chain
• Agility is not a single company concept, it extends from one end of the supply chain to the other.
• Embraces uncertainty in markets and achieve competitive advantage by the flexibility and speed of their responses to them (Greasley, 2013)
The ability to respond rapidly to unpredictable changes in demand
![Page 21: Issues and Trends in Supply Chain Management](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062904/5876982b1a28abab2f8b7393/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The concept of Agility (Harrison, 1999)
• Market sensitive– Supply chain is capable of reading and responding
to real demand
• Virtual – Information-based supply chain, rather than
inventory-based
• Network based– EDI and internet enable partners in the supply
chain to act upon the real demand• Process integration
– Collaborative working between buyers and suppliers, joint product development, common systems and shared information
![Page 22: Issues and Trends in Supply Chain Management](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062904/5876982b1a28abab2f8b7393/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Lean Supply ChainThe “Lean supply chain” identifies all types of waste in the value stream chain and seeks to eliminate them (Rother and Shook, 1999; Abdulmalek and Rajgopal, 2007)
In Lean supply, the entire flow from raw materials to consumer is considered as an integrated whole.
“Lean” means a series of activities or solutions to eliminate waste, reduce non-value added (NVA) operations, and improve the value added (VA)
![Page 23: Issues and Trends in Supply Chain Management](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062904/5876982b1a28abab2f8b7393/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Lean Supply (Lamming, 1996)
• Genuine equality in Partnership• Perfect quality focus: defined by
mutual adjustment and continuous improvement
• Synchronisation of capacity• Just-in time delivery• Supplier/ customer transparency
and information exchange• Ongoing price reduction based on
cost reductions from joint efforts
![Page 24: Issues and Trends in Supply Chain Management](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062904/5876982b1a28abab2f8b7393/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Mass customisation through postponement
• Regional customisation - regional distribution until products have reached regional distribution centres
• Customer-specific customisation - Postponing differentiation until orders have been received
• Lean, agile or leagile? (see Mason-Jones et al., 2000)
![Page 25: Issues and Trends in Supply Chain Management](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062904/5876982b1a28abab2f8b7393/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Material flow decoupling points and strategic inventory
See: Towill (2000)
![Page 26: Issues and Trends in Supply Chain Management](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062904/5876982b1a28abab2f8b7393/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Integration in the Supply Chain
the degree to which the firm can strategically collaborate with their supply chain partners and collaboratively manage the intra- and inter-organisation processes to achieve the effective and efficient flows of:-
Product and servicesInformation MoneyDecisions
With the objective of providing the maximum value to the customer at low cost and high speed
![Page 27: Issues and Trends in Supply Chain Management](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062904/5876982b1a28abab2f8b7393/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Relationships, Strategic Partnerships & Alliances• Market relationships – lasts as long as transaction takes.
– Use electronic data interchange (EDI) to share information
• Strategic partnerships & alliances - long-term relationship, work together & share information
Successful partnerships (Lambert et al., 1996):• Drivers – e.g. cost reduction, better customer service or security• Facilitators – e.g. compatibility of operations, similar management
styles, common aims• Components – to build & sustain relationship e.g. communication
channels, joint planning, shared risk and reward & investments
![Page 28: Issues and Trends in Supply Chain Management](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062904/5876982b1a28abab2f8b7393/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Outsourcing & Offshoring• Outsourcing: transfer to a third party of the management & delivery
of a process previously performed by the company itself (Greasley, 2013)– Supplier development to monitor & manage the relationship; improvement efforts
(rather than squeeze based on price?)
• Offshoring: transfer of specific processes to lower cost locations in other countries (Greasley, 2013)– To reduce costs– May still own & control the process itself in lower cost location
• Lure of cost saving due in part to fewer regulations & low cost wages …. Mass Migration of manufacturing from the developed world to emergent economies in other regions (Christopher, Peck & Towill, 2006)
![Page 29: Issues and Trends in Supply Chain Management](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062904/5876982b1a28abab2f8b7393/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Sustainable SCMCarter and Rodgers (2008)
“strategic, transparent integration and achievement of an organisation’s social, environmental, and economic goals in the systemic coordination of key interorganisational business processes for improving the long-term economic performance of the individual company and its supply chains”.
Sustainability: the triple bottom line
![Page 30: Issues and Trends in Supply Chain Management](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062904/5876982b1a28abab2f8b7393/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
SSCM: Win-Win situations• Carter and Rodgers (2008) offer a variety of environmental and social
issues that a firm can undertake which can improve as well as harm the economic bottom line
Can Harm?Little help?Some social/environmental initiatives can fail? (as do others). Need to understand why (i.e. link between quality and sustainability, price premium)
Sustainable SCM Practices
Carter and Rodgers (2008) suggest this area is large!
True sustainability intersects at all three areas
![Page 31: Issues and Trends in Supply Chain Management](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062904/5876982b1a28abab2f8b7393/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
A WIN-WIN?“It’s waste reduction stupid!”
• Banerjee (2001) survey on managerial attitudes to environmentalism showed most actions focused around manufacturing (especially where cost advantage possible)
• As usually cost reductions follow
• Lean production techniques– Toyota production system
• Rely heavily on and gain many of their returns from waste reduction (Cannon, 2012)
![Page 32: Issues and Trends in Supply Chain Management](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062904/5876982b1a28abab2f8b7393/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
