As a small manufacturer, Cobra Motorcycles faces many of the same challenges as its larger counterparts: We strive to continuously improve our internal operations, we push to find the best and lowest cost global suppliers, and most importantly we attempt to design and develop the best products for our customers. To these ends, the company is currently facing a "Lean Conundrum": Cobra’s internal manufacturing operations are well developed. Finished goods inventory of motorcycles and ATVs turn many times per year, and in fact much of our volume is delivered on a make-to-order basis. Furthermore, our machining operations are consistently becoming leaner through big improvements in set-up reduction and likewise reduced batch sizes. In contrast, our supply chain – which we rely on for both volume and expertise – has become very bloated as we have followed current trends and outsourced many commodities to Asia. Large minimum order quantities, long and highly variable transport times, and quality issues are the realities we struggle with daily. To combat these issues we have developed a complete way of looking at the total cost of outsourcing, and as a result we have begun to in-source and home-source many of the components on our new CX65 model. This presentation will focus on lessons learned from that experience through case studies and cost data, and it will hopefully open good dialog on how other companies and industries are handling complex global supply chain issues.

This document discusses key considerations for analyzing churn in cloud computing businesses. It begins with a refresher on important SaaS metrics like customer acquisition cost, average revenue per user, and churn. It emphasizes the value of analyzing cohorts of customers over time to understand trends in retention and behavior. The document also shows how even small differences in monthly churn rates can significantly impact long-term customer retention. Finally, it discusses the importance of accurately modeling churn, whether through expected lifetime calculations or recognizing that churn often follows a geometric rather than linear curve.
Global logistics and supply chain management are experiencing significant changes and challenges. Mega ships are now the norm, creating issues around port congestion and infrastructure. Ocean carrier consolidation is ongoing, with questions around future rates, service levels, and carrier viability. Unreliable carrier performance is driving up inventories and costs. To differentiate, companies should consider a blue ocean strategy of creating new market spaces rather than competing head-to-head. Opportunities include leveraging e-commerce, multichannel distribution, and global expansion through innovative supply chain practices focused on customer service. The future belongs to companies that embrace change through supply chain innovation.
The document discusses strategies in the domestic passenger airline industry. It analyzes the strategies of major airlines including mergers for cost leadership, product differentiation through amenities and technology, and hybrid approaches. Southwest Airlines is highlighted as having a sustainable strategy through cost control and differentiated secondary markets and service offerings. A hybrid strategy is concluded to be most valuable as it incorporates the strengths of both cost leadership and product differentiation.
Complexity in all aspects of business (products, processes, organizations) has made planning and forecasting more difficult and a fundamental lack of understanding of complexity often drives behaviors intended to reduce costs, but actually increase them while decreasing service level.
In this presentation delivered at the 2014 APICS International Conference, we explore the sources of complexity facing businesses today and how complexity manifests itself in poorer performance and higher costs. In doing so we will explore Wilson Perumal & Company’s Square Root Costing methodology for more accurately allocating complexity costs across an organization through a real-life client example.
CSX seeks to acquire Conrail to gain strategic synergies and market control. The deal would give CSX over 60% of the East Coast market, consolidating its access to ports. Integrating Conrail's intermodal business could lower costs amid growing international trade post-NAFTA. Sensitivity analyses show the offer values Conrail at the high end of valuations based on growth and discount rates. Operational improvements could boost Conrail's productivity and free up $350M in working capital. However, the multi-stage offer structure is more complex than recent large rail deals.

10. Cobra’s Conundrum
Internally, we are making great strides
toward Lean. Externally, however, we’re
going backward as our supply chain
becomes more global.
Central Question: How can we make better
decisions around the true cost of
outsourcing?
11. Supply Chain Strategy
* Framework borrowed from Charlie Fine – MIT Sloan School of Management
12. Homesource vs. Offshore
Improved Communication Over Supplier
Processes
Reduced Inventory Throughout System
Reduced Shipping and Logistics Costs
Reduced Overall Risk (1-2 more
iterations)
Vastly Improved Cash Cycle
Higher Piece Cost

This type of analysis was completed on a wide range of parts
(injection moldings, castings, forgings, extrusions, upholstery,
machined components, etc.)
The end result was that Cobra in-sourced and home-sourced
38 parts (nearly 10% of the CX65) that we were considering
outsourcing to Asia (2008 MY)
For the 2009 MY, we have in-sourced another 22 parts
allowing further improvements in cash flow, total cost,
performance and quality.
16. Looking Back and Forward
Home sourcing allowed us to be much more
aggressive with our product development…Making more
iterations on certain components before launch.
Using our model to project a cost range is much more
objective than comparing on piece price and then
subjectively trying to finalize a purchase decision. The
model works!
Keeping more suppliers closer to home will give us the
opportunity to closely work with them in their Lean
journey.
NA based suppliers are figuring out how to become
cost competitive and better utilize their intrinsic
advantages of being local to the market.
