4. Old Supply Chain Overview

5. Changes in Supply Chain
S Step 1 (Old Way)
Nabisco, of Parsippany, N.J., figures the amount of Planters
cashews that Wegmans Food Markets in Rochester, N.Y.,
might sell in a quarter--without consulting the supermarket
chain.

6. Step 1 (Old Way)

7. Changes in Supply Chain
S Step 1 (New Way)
Nabisco and Wegmans exchange sales forecasts via the
Web and agree on an amount to supply Wegmans.
Calculations are largely based on current sales data from
the checkout counter, past patterns, and upcoming
promotions.

8. Step 1 (New Way)

9. Changes in Supply Chain
S Step 2 (Old Way)
Nabisco alerts its Brazil office via fax or phone, and
employees deliver orders in person to local cashew
growers. Farmers put the raw cashews on trucks, which
take them to the port. The shipping company notifies
Nabisco when the cashews set sail.

10. Step 2 (Old Way)

11. Changes in Supply Chain
S Step 2 (New Way)
There's not much difference here, only Nabisco now
contacts its Brazil office via e-mail. Employees still have to
contact local farmers in person.

12. Changes in Supply Chain
S Step 3 (Old Way)
When the cashews arrive in Jacksonville, Fla., a freight
forwarder handles the paperwork needed to clear the
shipment through customs and scurries to find a truck to
deliver them to Nabisco plants. The truck may travel only
half-full and have no cargo on the return trip, making it
costly for Nabisco.

13. Step 3 (Old Way)

14. Changes in Supply Chain
S Step 3 (New Way)
Shippers and truckers always have up-to-date info via an
online exchange like the one being developed by Nistevo, a
startup based in Eden Prairie, Minn. It's a collaborative
logistics network that connects multiple manufacturers and
transportation companies. The exchange matches orders
and makes certain trucks have full loads.

15. Step 3 (New Way)

16. Changes in Supply Chain
S Step 4 (Old Way)
Trucks take the cashews to Nabisco's manufacturing plants.
After the nuts are roasted and packed, trucks carry them to
Nabisco's 12 warehouses nationwide.

17. Step 4 (Old Way)

18. Changes in Supply Chain
S Step 4 (New Way)
After arriving at the manufacturing plants, the cashews are
roasted and packed. Nabisco sends Wegmans' cashews to
the warehouse of a consolidator, such as ServiceCraft,
which replaces the Nabisco distribution center.

19. Step 4 (New Way)

20. Changes in Supply Chain
S Step 5 (Old Way)
The nuts are in a warehouse and ready for shipment, but
they may not be close to the store where Wegmans needs
the cashews because regional demand was not discussed.
If Nabisco ordered too many cashews, they turn soft in its
warehouses. If it ordered too few, Wegmans will buy
cashews elsewhere.

21. Step 5 (Old Way)

22. Changes in Supply Chain
S Step 5 (New Way)
Because Nabisco knows Wegmans' needs, there isn't a
shortage or oversupply of cashews. From the consolidator,
the nuts are put on trucks going to Wegmans with other
products from competitors. Transportation, unloading,
warehousing, and inventory costs drop.
