10. Supply Chain Management
“Supply chain management can be defined as
the management of upstream and downstream
relationships with suppliers, distributors and
customers to achieve greater customer value-
added at less total cost”.

11. Mission of Supply
Chain/Logistics
Get your product to the consumer
at the lowest possible cost & cash

12. What are Supply Chain “Laws” ?
Material Supplier Manufacturing Distribution Retail Customers
Supply Chains conform to Physical / Empirical Laws
Implication:
• Supply chain performance is predictable and can be designed
• By precisely specifying the structure of the supply chain, the
operating strategy and quantifying measures consistently, we can
dramatically improve Supply Chain performance

13. The Laws of Logistics*
The Law of Lowest Total Cost
The Law of Speed, Quality and Accuracy
The Law of Supply Chain Volatility
The Law of Counter-intuition

15. The Extended Enterprise Viewpoint
Single company thinking Extended enterprise thinking
 Focus on the customer  Focus on the ultimate
consumer
 Increase own profits
 Increase profits for all
 Consider own costs only
 Consider total costs
 Guard ideas, information
and resources  Share ideas, information
and resources
 Improve internal process
efficiency  Improve joint process

Operating Strategy – The set of parameters and principles which
guide the way resources will be managed to achieve the business
objectives at the lowest total system cost.

18. P&G‟s approach towards Supply Chain:
Consumer Driven Supply Network
• Win at the first and second month of truth: when the consumer
buys (1st) and when they try (2nd) the product
By Making sure that:
• The Right Product arrives at
• The Right Place at
• The Right Time at
• The Right Cost
18

19. 1.The Law of Lowest Total Cost
“The total cost of producing & delivering
product is usually larger than the sum of
the lowest functional costs of each element
in the supply chain”

20. The Effect of Time

22. Traditional Supply Chain
• Sequential backward action
• Filtering of real demand by
inventory
• Significant batching activity
• Noise in demand patterns
Goods flow • Forecast dependent
Manufacturer DC Store Customers
Demand flow

23. Continuous flow requires Information Sharing
• Using shared information to reduce time in the supply chain
• Optimize use of capacity
• Managing upstream inventory
• Using shared information to reduce forecast horizon

24. Why Do We need Inventory?
Inventory Hides the Problems

Inaccurate Unreliable Quality Bottlenecks

25. Dell Computers
• Logistics strategy plays an important role in Dell Computer’s
impressive financial performance.
• Dell’s direct distribution eliminates as much as 2 months of warehouse and
retail storage.
• About 80% of the cost of a PC consists of components.
• Component prices fall while on the shelves at 30% per year.
• The consequences of logistics delays are overpriced products and possible
obsolescence.
• Direct sales also helps Dell in forecasting.
25

26. Achieving Speed in the Supply Chain:
Substituting Information for Inventory
Two key techniques:
• Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI)
• Collaborative Planning, Forecasting & Replenishment (CPFR)
26

27. 2.The Law of Speed, Quality and Accuracy
“In logistics & supply chain management, faster
simpler and better is almost always cheaper”

28. P&G Ukraine Supply Chain
• 2 plants and 2 distribution centers
• 40 brands, 3000 stock keeping units
• Products are shipped to 50+ customers
• Imports from 31 foreign plants
• 30 trucks enter Ukraine border everyday
• 30 trucks arrive to customers everyday
• 1500 employees are involved in P&G supply chain
plus 400 from our partner companies

31. Case 1: Streamlined and cost effective
supply net-work design

32. Variety Grows
Increased competition
Consumer demand for new products
Customer demand for new products
Marketing why we are unique
High profit margin products
What happens when variety increases ?

34. Volatility caused by Manufacturing
Shall we produce once a month ?
Every week ?
Every day ?
3 times a day ?
Is there a right answer?
34

35. Volatility caused by Logistics
Shall we ship a full truck ?
A small full truck?
Half a truck ?
1 pallet ?
Is there a right answer?
35

36. 3.The Law of Supply Chain Volatility
The volatility of final consumer demand is
“
always less than what we experience through
the supply chain by distribution, manufacturing
and suppliers”
36

37. Business Case 2 :Logistics at P&G
Load shipment:
By euro trucks – 33 pallets, 20 tons;
Example
Tide detergent weight/pallet– 1000 kg
How many pallets of Tide will fit into truck?
Answer: 1 truck of Tide – 20 pallets
Pampers weight/pallet – 150 kg
How many pallets of Pampers will fit into truck?
Answer: 1 truck of Pampers – 33 pallets
Challenge: how to ship 33
pallets of Tide and 33
pallets of Pampers in 2
trucks?

38. Logistics at P&G. Case 2
Challenge: how to ship 33 pallets of Tide and
33 pallets of Pampers in 2 trucks?
33 pallets,20 tons.
Truck 1:
16 pallets of Tide + 17 pallets of Pampers. (18550 kg)
Truck 2:
17 pallets of Tide + 16 pallets of Pampers.(19400 kg)
2000 kg are left. How to use them?
Loading on top. Truck 1 – 43 pallets, truck 2 – 37 pallets.
Therefore, combining products in trucks helps to reduce
number of trucks (and logistics costs)!

39. Logistics at P&G
In reality: how to increase weight
limit up to 22 tons?
assortment: 600 SKUs, 50 categories, different
densities and pressures.
Limit: total weight, weights on axis
In practice: heterogeneous transport, quality
constraints, different product mix for
different customers, how to implement into
automated processes at warehouses?
Result: 21 – 21.5 tons range

40. Centre of Conflict
If only marketing could
forecast accurately and sales
deliver the orders we could
meet requirements
If only manufacturing would
make what we ask for we
could do the business
MANUFACTURING PREFERENCE ATTRIBUTE MARKETING PREFERENCE
Minimum PRODUCT RANGE Maximum
Stable PRODUCT SET Continually Changing
Minimal FLEXIBILITY “Infinite”
Long LEAD TIME Short Source: Inger
Unacceptable UNFORECAST DEMAND Fact of Life
40

41. Circular References
Volatility is caused by time lags
Time lags are created to optimize cost
Cost is not necessarily lowered by slowing things down
Slowing things down is a function of variety and complexity
Variety and complexity mean it all gets „too difficult‟
which is why we don’t trust anyone & we slow things down more
adding more time creates volatility
volatility costs money so we add more time
adding more time makes us careless and unreliable
Unreliability creates volatility…………………………………………………….

42. 4.The Law of Counter-intuition
“The normal human response to the effects of the
previous laws is to introduce delay in an attempt to
increase certainty which simply makes the situation
worse
- effective supply chain management is counter
intuitive”
42

43. What Is the source of
Most troubles at Work ?
Distortion
Of
Information
43

44. Distortion of Information
Wrong information
Too much information
Increases confusion
44

45. How to Reduce Confusion
• Listening
• Simple language
• Single point accountability
• KPI’s
• Being in touch with reality
• Frequent feedback from customers
• Few layers in the organization
• Daily Reviews
45

46. Communication Style Reducing Confusion
• Stick to facts, don’t speculate
• Check understanding
• Avoid slogans, jargon and generic
• Don’t repeat
• Phone/Talk Vs. e-mail
• Know when to stop talking
• Get to the point / conclusion
• Be open / direct
