9. â–¸ The test of end-to-end focus.
Supply chain processes must ensure end-to-
end management. This requires having an
architecture that provides an end-to-end vision
of the supply chain and a set of shared
objectives that orchestrates the work of each
player in your supply chain.

A good supply chain architecture is made up of
simple, streamlined processes that minimize
the complexity that adds cost and reduces
manageability. Processes should be clear and
easily understood by those who use them.

14. â–¸ Together, PRTM and AMR founded the Supply-Chain
Council (SCC), which initially included 69 member
companies. Over the course of a year, the three
organizations further developed and refined this standard,
called the Supply-Chain Operations Reference-model
(SCOR) that defined best practices, performance metrics,
and software functionality requirements for each core
supply chain process, sub process, and activity.

19. THE CONCEPT
These processes enable better decision
making and guides all supply chain
activities related to the execution
processes —
Plan, Source, Make, Deliver, And Return.
19
20. â–¸ Plan
Every supply chain process has inputs and outputs. Plan’s
input is information on demand, supply, and supply chain
resources.
For example, plan source and plan make outline the raw
materials needed, the source of those materials, and the
quantities of inventory to be produced. Plan deliver
provides the information needed to commit to customer
orders. And plan return provides the information needed to
schedule returns and replacement orders.

22. â–¸ Source
Using the plan generated by plan source, the supply chain
source process procures all needed materials and services,
performing the operational activities of purchasing,
scheduling, receiving, inspecting, and authorizing supplier
payment. The source activity also involves supplier
selection and relationship management.

23. Process excellence in source is built on four key
principles:
1. Aim for the lowest total cost of ownership
(TCO).
2. Set procurement strategies according to
category.
3. Maintain an enterprise wide focus.
4. Measure and manage performance.

25. There are four principles for process excellence in
make:
1. Focus on business priorities.
2. Aim for speed and flexibility, not just low
costs.
3. Set and monitor quality standards.
4. Synchronize all manufacturing activities.

For the supply chain to
operate effectively, make
must be integrated with
the plan, source, deliver,
and return processes.
26
27. â–¸ Deliver
The deliver process starts with the receipt of a
customer order and includes all the activities needed
to complete that order, from providing a price quote to
collecting payment from the customer.
â–¸ Deliver makes the order visible to source and make for
execution, ensuring that customer requirements are
communicated clearly. Deliver also includes all
warehousing, transportation, and distribution
activities.

28. Here are the four recommended principles for
deliver process excellence:
1. Balance service with the cost to serve.
2. Cut costs and time with straight-through
processing.
3. Set up end-to-end tracking and traceability.
4. Manage data for ongoing accuracy and
timeliness.

29. â–¸ Return
The return process ensures that previously sold products
are supported, collected, and disposition according to
business policies and customer agreements and covers all
activities from return authorization to financial settlement.
â–¸ The primary drivers behind return differ by industry but
typically include the return of defective, wrong, or
unsatisfactory products; maintenance, repair, and overhaul
(MRO) based on service agreements; excess channel
inventory returns; and recycling/refurbishment/reuse.
Different activities may be associated with each of these
return “types.”

Return is a reverse supply
chain process and has
specific requirements
and characteristics that
differ from the forward
supply chain.
30
31. For return process excellence, follow these four key
principles:
1. Create a distinct supply chain for return.
2. Feed back return information quickly.
3. Base return policies on total cost of returns.
4. Maximize revenue opportunities.

34. â–¸ In the next generation of process architecture, companies
will be able to rapidly translate strategies into new supply
chains.
â–¸ These architectures will seamlessly integrate business
processes and information systems. And they’ll include the
key performance indicators needed to ensure value
creation and ongoing management.
â–¸ Besides providing a unified view of the internal supply
chain, the next generation of process architecture will
define the integration points among suppliers, customers,
and partners.

What do you do when you have an
enormous growth opportunity but
can’t capitalize on it with your
existing supply chain? If you’re Avon,
you embark on a radical
transformation—a high-risk venture
with no guaranteed returns.

A GROWING BUSINESS—
AND GROWING
PROBLEMS
Fundamental mismatch
between the company’s
selling cycle and its
supply chain cycle.
In most European
markets, Avon begins a
new sales campaign
every three weeks.
1
MAKING THE
BUSINESS CASE
AND MOVING
FORWARD
It required a lengthy,
detailed analysis to
prove that Avon’s
supply chain
wouldn’t be able to
handle the projected
growth of the
business.

RETHINKING
THE SUPPLY
CHAIN
Avon put in place a
regional planning
group empowered to
make decisions about
service levels,
inventory, and costs.

END-TO-END
VISIBILITY
Avon created a
centralized inventory
hub in Poland to
service the
company’s branches
throughout Europe.

Avon was very clear
on the fact that its
