The document discusses global supply chain management and key factors to consider when developing an international sourcing strategy. It covers Porter's value chain model and how identifying competitive advantages across different links in the value chain can help multinational companies determine the most cost-effective global supply chain configuration. Competencies around positioning, integration, agility, and performance measurement are also important for efficiently managing global supply chains.
International Logistics & Warehouse Management Thomas Tanel
This presentation is designed to take an astute quick look at international logistics and warehouse management, both in terms of today's global supply chain and in the demand flow management process, so you can know how to make the most of this strategically. You've probably heard something about these topics. You may even be somewhat familiar with them. But how much do you really know about their strategic importance?
In an international logistics and warehouse management system, cost-to-cost "trade-offs" available through systems analysis are easy to identify. One example is using premium transportation for small, time-phased purchased lots to reduce inventory investment and lower safety stock. Another might be using a distribution center for freight consolidation or Crossdocking to improve customer service levels and avoid material handling inefficiencies. Yet another might be the use of a blanket agreement (with a rolling forecast) with your supplier. By aligning supplier capacity to your customer schedules and your inventory goals, you gain pipeline visibility through automated order tracking and alerts in addition to lowering costs and raising customer service levels. The overall goal, to achieve a fully integrated logistics approach, is to realize maximum trade-offs among basic functional activities such as warehousing.
Traditional Logistics and Warehousing channels are indeed changing. As organizations move from mass production and mass distribution to lean manufacturing, postponement, and mass customization, creative approaches are needed in the management of logistics and warehousing. The challenge is always present, because different customers may demand different levels of service. Demand often cannot be forecasted, especially if one must deliver customized products or services exactly where the customer needs them on a global scale at multiple locations.
Businesses today must understand that they are competing on the basis of time more than on any other factor. The rigors of international logistics require that you take action to meet your customers’ demand for faster, more frequent, and more reliable deliveries. Your suppliers need to meet increasingly precise inbound schedules. Tomorrow’s customers are more likely to be in another country or continent than they are likely to be from across town, in another state, or in another province. In addition, diverse countries use different formats for weights and other units of measures, as well as many countries and localities have different licensing requirements and charge different duties, value-added taxes (VAT), and fees, which altogether amount to a major content-management challenge for your Global Trade and Logistics IT systems.

2. It’s All About Leverage
• Consider how to turn an aircraft. Aircrafts are steered through the use
of a system of ailerons on the wings and the rudder at the tail of the
aircraft. In comparison to the aircraft, the ailerons and the rudder are
very small; however, leverage allows them to turn the large aircraft. In
other words, putting the right combination of a little leverage on the
right places allows incredible maneuvering.
3. What is a Supply Chain?
• Supply chains are linkages of partially
discrete, yet interdependent entities that
collectively transform raw materials into
finished products.
• Supply chains connect the functions of
inbound activities (such as purchasing) with
outbound activities (such as logistics and
“place” activities).
A. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . End Customer
4. Formal Definition
of a Supply Chain
• A supply chain is a “network of facilities and activities that
performs the functions of product development,
procurement of material from suppliers, the movement of
materials between facilities, the manufacturing of
products, the distribution of finished goods to customers,
and after-market support for sustainment” (Mabert and
Venkataraman 1998).

10. The Value Chain
• Michael Porter, professor at Harvard Business School,
uses the value chain as a systematic means of displaying
and categorizing business activities.
• The term value chain means that at each stage of the
order-to-delivery system, value is added to the product
or service.

12. Primary Activities
• Primary activities are the five basic functions needed to
physically produce a product or service, deliver and
market it to buyers, and support it after the sale. Each
contributes value in specific ways.
– Inbound logistics refers to activities/actions required before physical
production of a product can begin or before service can be performed (inputs
such as materials handling, warehousing, inventory control, vehicle
scheduling and returns to suppliers).
– Outbound logistics refers to all activities from the point of a finished product
to its delivery to the market or customer or those activities that follow the
completion of a service (such as distribution, delivery vehicle operations,
order processing, and scheduling).
13. Support Activities
• Support Activities provide inputs or infrastructure in
support of primary activities. These supporting
activities stretch across the entire value chain since
they impact each primary activity.
– Procurement is obtaining purchased inputs, such as raw
material, parts, equipment, etc.
14. From the Value Chain…
• Five continuous and interactive steps are involved in
developing a global supply chain strategy along the value
chain:
1. Identify the separable links (R&D, manufacturing, and marketing) in
the company’s global value chain.
3. In the context of those links, determine the global location of the
company’s competitive advantages, considering both economies of
scale and scope.
5. Ascertain the level of transaction costs (e.g., cost of negotiation, cost
of monitoring activities, and uncertainty resulting from contracts)
between links in the global value chain, both internal and external,
and select the lowest cost mode that provides the most value.
Source: Kotabe and Helsen 2001
15. From the value chain…
1. Determine the comparative advantages of countries (including
the company’s home country) relative to each link in the value
chain and to relevant transaction costs.
1. Develop adequate flexibility in corporate decision making and
organizational design so as to permit the company to respond to
changes in both its competitive advantages and the comparative
advantages of countries.
