LeanCor Logistics Webinar: How to Build Lean Logistics Route Plans for Networ...LeanCor Supply Chain Group
Outdated and complex distribution network structures can contribute to over-sized inventory levels, unnecessary costs, a strain on service, and overly complex inventory deployment. Network-Optimization
In the second webinar of the Lean Logistics Series, learn how you can leverage lean principles to stabilize your logistics network.
We Will Explore:
• Market factors that are driving shippers to re-design their networks
• How dynamic and static routes can lead to lower total cost and optimal customer service
• The principles, processes, and tools that must be in place for success
This presentation was initially given at a Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) Seminar and discusses when and how it\'s correct to introduce automation to a warehouse or distribution centre.
In an ideal lean supply chain, everything would be produced and consumed at the rate of end-customer demand. Unfortunately, it’s necessary to forecast demand and build inventory into stock.
In this 1-hour webinar, learn why we need inventory, what drives it in our supply chain, and how to reduce it for real.
We will explore best practices and strategies in:
Inventory visibility
Inventory stratification and stability
Inventory replenishment
*This webinar is part of a special “Go to the Gemba” series where we interview different industry supply chain professionals about how they use lean principles and tools to solve their challenges.
- Learn a step-by-step description of an ideal approach to benchmarking.
- Why qualitative and quantitative benchmarking go hand-in-hand.

Sap logistics and order fulfillment strategyAvi Shacham
Transform Supply Chain & Logistics into Demand Networks
Planning Matters:
Issues: Demand Plans are aggregated which leads to low forecast accuracy, increased stock transfer orders and increased inventory in the network. Also, Sales & Operations Planning processes are disconnected from the execution which leads to a delay of executing decisions and increased cost. And finally inventory targets for product-location combinations are kept static instead of dynamically adjusting them according to demand and supply volatility
Solution: introduce 3 dimensional planning: plan with financial and supply chain numbers, combine short- and long-term forecasting and connect tactical with operational planning with inventory & service level optimization
Be Accessible:
Issues: One of the biggest issues to introduce speed into the supply chain is the missing connectivity with supply chain and logistics partners. Communication is done via e-mail and spreadsheets, which leads to increased inventory (to cover the risk) and delays. Furthermore point-to-point connections are hindering to increase flexibility to make fast decisions
Strategy: Leverage Business Networks instead of costly point-to-point connections. Make it easy to connect, increase flexibility and take risk out of the supply chain
Fulfill to Please:
Issues: Same-day shipments become the norm, especially in end-consumer related industries. Cost in Logistics are raising and the complexity is ever increasing. Warehouse and Transportation processes need to interact more closely for fast delivery. Efficiency in Warehouse Management lags 10 years behind the efficiency in Manufacturing (according to Gartner) – more automation will be introduced (robotics, augmented realities, etc)
Strategy: Efficiency in transportation and distribution requires connectivity, end-to-end visibility and a strong focus on cost
Supplier collaboration and the resulting improvements are critical requirements for implementing lean across the supply chain. In this 1-hour webinar, learn how to start developing your suppliers to drive results in cost, lead time, and material availability.
We will explore:
Why managing supplier performance is critical to a lean logistics strategy
Recommended tools to monitor, communicate, and advocate supplier performance
Management systems: dashboards and the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle
Results: learn how one customer used a disciplined supplier development process to impact freight costs and margins.
*This webinar is part of a special “Go to the Gemba” series where we interview different industry supply chain professionals about how they use lean principles and tools to solve their challenges.

Unit 4 Assignment
Assignment: Business Marketing
In this Assignment, you will create an audiovisual presentation to verbally market a product to
another business rather than to consumers.
According to Lamb et al. (2014), business marketing differs from marketing to consumers only in
terms of the use of the products or services ─ leaving out the consumer. Business marketing
entails marketing to persons and businesses who will then offer it to consumers. These products
can include parts of goods or those that are used to manufacture other products, or services
used by organizations to operate more efficiently or that are later resold. To demonstrate your
comprehension of Business Marketing, read the following scenario and follow the directions to
complete this Assignment.
Scenario:
You have just been hired as a new Business-to-Business (B2B) marketing associate with ZMX
Global, inc., a national distributor of food, beverage, and supplies to hospitality oriented
businesses. As part of your marketing training, you have been tasked with finding new
marketing opportunities (Retailers, wholesalers, Internet, institutions, etc.) for the distribution of
a new product called “Bon Vivant Organic Gourmet,” a high quality organic frozen food product.
Read the BonVivant Business and Product Profile: Click Here.
Your job as a B2B marketing associate is to build relationships with reputable organizations that
will successfully represent ZMX Global, Inc. and the Bon Vivant Organic Gourmet brand and
product with integrity.
Directions:
Using what you learn from reading Chapter 7 to inform your work on this Assignment, build a 5-
slide audio visual presentation using Microsoft PowerPoint with audio covering the
characteristics that make Bon Vivant Organic Gourmet a business product.
(This is where your microphone either built into your computer in most cases or alternatively
your microphone headset you purchased, will be used.)
For a tutorial on adding audio to your PowerPoint presentation, click here.
Checklist: Include the following information:
Slide 1: Title Slide. Include your name, date, title of the presentation.
○ Oral narration: Introduce yourself and the topic of your presentation.
○ Notes: Narration Script
Slide 2: Describe what type of business product ZMX Global, Inc. offers in the Bon
Vivant Organic Gourmet frozen meal product line. Discuss why it can be considered a

Rehearsal Script Page 1 Introduction Lets get down t.docxdebishakespeare
Rehearsal Script Page 1
Introduction
Let's get down to business! Your deliverables are:
1. A complete set of Round 1 decisions. We will show you exactly what to do.
2. A quiz., which you MUST take before you can finish the tutorial. When the quiz is
complete, a menu item called "Process" becomes available. Clicking Process advances
the tutorial to the next round (simulated year).
3. As an option, you can continue to play the Rehearsal on through Round 4.
If you understand how to perform six basic tactics, you will be able to develop and execute a
strategy for your company. The tactics are:
1. Tactic 1: How do we reposition a product?
2. Tactic 2: How do we market a product?
3. Tactic 3: How do we schedule production and manage inventory?
4. Tactic 4: How do we modify plant and equipment?
5. Tactic 5: How do we raise money and pay debt?
6. Tactic 6: How do we invent a new product?
The quiz will ask you to match each basic tactic with a set of action steps. To complete the
Rehearsal, you must get 100% on the quiz, but you can take it as many times as you need.
After you complete the quiz, you can put your decisions into competition with two computer
managed companies and advance the clock one year. You can then examine the results to see
how you did.
You might find it easier to do the Rehearsal if you use these three documents:
This Rehearsal script (this document)
The Capstone Courier (click the Reports link on the Rehearsal menu in the right panel)
The Industry Conditions report (click the Reports link on the Rehearsal menu)
Tip! The "expand/collapse" link in the frame separator will open and close this area, giving you
easier access to the Rehearsal Decision Workbook.
During the Rehearsal, you are assigned to the "Andrews" company. Do not worry if you have
been assigned to a different company. When the real simulation begins you will make decisions
for your assigned company.
Good Luck!
Rehearsal Script Page 2
Tactic 1: Repositioning a Product
Instructions
1. In the Rehearsal Decision Spreadsheet (to the right of the Expand/Collapse bar), select
R&D from the Decisions menu.
2. Changing a product's Performance and Size repositions it on the Perceptual Map. If a
product is moved outside of the Rough Cut circles, it will have 0 sales; customers will not
want that product.
3. Slightly improve Able by repositioning it to a Performance of 5.8 and a Size 14.2. Change
Able's Mean Time Before Failure (or MTBF) to 18000. Click Recalculate. On the
Perceptual Map, the magenta name is where your product will be when the project
completes. The black name is where your product is today, January 1st.
4. Reposition Acre to MTBF 13000.
5. Reposition Adam to Performance 9.0, Size 11.0, MTBF 24000.
6. Reposition Aft to Performance 10.4, Size 15.0, MTBF 26000.
7. Reposition Agape to Performance 4.7, Size 9.8.

Coca-Cola Hellenic, one of the largest Coca-Cola bottlers worldwide, has started a three year long project to substitute all legacy systems with a SAP implementation called Wave 2, in order to maximize efficiencies in use of resources and apply common best practices and polices accross the group.
We have heard about “the global economy” and the impact on a global scale of decisions made centrally and “globalization” using global methods locally. Both of these terms use the word “global” in the sense of taking something from a central location or headquarters facility and rolling it out globally. But what about taking local best practices and leveraging them to customers and clients globally? In this workshop, we will look at how best practices can emerge locally but are often ignored in a global perspective due to their local origin. Many of these best practices are developed “below the radar” and work very well for a local market; however small changes or adaptations could make them of global significance. We will examine cases of local best practices and they were promoted to improve business performance globally. We will also look at things that can go wrong if this is not done correctly and finally, we will highlight ways that a company can discover and apply these practices.

"In 2010 Cargill, a $130B international producer and marketer of food, agricultural, financial and industrial products and services, initiated a project to reorganize the fragmented procurement function into a centralized Global Strategic Sourcing Function. One key missing element of a successful transformation was a spend visibility solution which could collect, categorize and disseminate spend data across the companies 70 plus business units, 30 plus ERP systems, 60 plus countries and more than a dozen languages. Cargill turned to Zycus’s spend analysis tool as their solution of choice.
Derek Batchlor will share Cargill’s approach to implementation of spend analysis tool and how they have been able to drive broad adoption of the tool by over half of the nearly 200 team members in Strategic Sourcing. "

Rapid Implementation Design
Design is an on-going activity
Design in Lean IT is not static – it is incremental and responds
to learning
Do the simplest thing that can possibly work at
each point:
Passes all known tests
Contains no duplication
Communicates intent clearly
Is a small as possible – fewest classes, methods, lines of code
No speculative development (YAGNI)
Always develop things when you actually need them, never when you
just foresee that you might need them
Simple designs reduce friction and surface area

Globalization vs. Localization
Using the Fujitsu Global ASAP methodology, global enterprises can streamline multisite implementations through the
development and subsequent rollout of a global template. By conducting an analysis of your business processes and
requirements, you are able to define which are common to all sites and which are sites-specific. The global template
includes those processes common to all sites. Use of this template enables quick, repeatable multisite
implementations. Local requirements such as site-specific processes and local statutory requirements are then
incorporated into your global template at the appropriate local level during rollout.

Innovative Solutions for Clients - Samples
Poultry: Fujitsu was chosen by a major poultry company to migrate to SAP ECC
6.0 and implement Financials and Business Intelligence. Customer is the
number-one brand of premium chicken in the Eastern U.S., entered into their
SAP Upgrade’s realization phase in June 2010. The project presented both the
challenge and opportunity to build a sophisticated SAP O2C-based solution for
upgrading SAP 4.6C (IS-Oil) to SAP ERP 6.0 with EhP 4 (Catch Weight
Management).
Wholesale Distribution Solution: Fujitsu developed an automated chargeback
management system for a Major Wholesale Distributor leveraging the Vistex
product. Fujitsu team also developed a unique Online Order Guide. This
innovative solution has provided immediate ROI by streamlining order entry and
chargeback management. Chargeback cycle reduced from 30–90 days to 14–
21 days, and eliminating loss from manual recovery of chargebacks
Catch Weight Management (CWM) solution: Fujitsu partnered with SAP and
deployed the first successful CWM solution for a major food group allowing
them to manage their inventory and financials in multiple units of measure.
Fujitsu also partnered with SAP for the first successful deployment of
OutlookSoft (now BPC) significantly improving the company’s ability to obtain
accurate, timely and detailed financial statements.

Accurately identify and quantify catch weight loss at
various points in the supply chain where it was not
previously possible.
Implement technologies and processes designed to
reduce catch weight loss.
Enable more accurate reporting and accounting of catch
weight value throughout the supply chain, helping to
increase revenue realization
Reduce product time-to-market, enhancing your
competitive advantage and revenue potential.
The special challenges in food processing operations and their supply chains have often forced companies to accept
a high degree of product loss along with accounting inaccuracies as product moves to market. Fujitsu offers deep
business expertise in delivering Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)-platform solutions such as Catch Weight
Management. Fujitsu helps you identify and assess opportunities in your internal operations and processes, as well
as your broader supply chain where our tailored solution will drive new standards for performance.
For food companies

Catch Weight Management
Improve Operational Performance
Improve revenue realization through increased reporting
and accounting accuracy of catch weight value
throughout the supply chain.
Reduce the effort required for repeated weighing
operations by linking actual weights to handling units.
Improve the visibility of costs and reduce the total cost of
ownership (TCO).
Improve the visibility of margins with new flexibility in the
management of inventory prices.
Increase channel partner and customer satisfaction
through more accurate billing of actual weight shipped.
• With CWM, the fullfilment of purchase orders can be recorded and controlled more accurate for catch-weight
materials: Goods receipt is posted in 2 units of measure (UoM) in parallel, the logistics unit of measure (e.g.
pieces) and the valuation unit of measure (e.g. kg). If the pricebase of the purchase order-item is defined using the
valuation UoM, verification of the receipt invoice is performed against the real catch-weight quantity, which is more
precise than without CWM, where only planned conversion factors are available
Procure to Pay
• With CWM, the fullfilment of customer orders can be recorded and controlled more accurate for catch-weight
materials: Goods issue is posted in 2 units of measure (UoM) in parallel, the logistics UoM (e.g. pieces) and the
valuation UoM (e.g. kg). If the pricebase of the sales order-item is defined using the valuation UoM, creation of the
sales invoice is performed based on the real catch-weight quantity, which is more precise than without CWM, where
only planned conversion factors are available.
Order to Cash
• With CWM, the goods issues and goods receipts related to PP- or PP-PI orders can be recorded and controlled
more accurate for catch-weight materials: all movements are posted in 2 units of measure (UoM) in parallel, the
logistics UoM (e.g. pieces) and the valuation UoM (e.g. kg).Manufacturing
Inbound & Outbound
Logistics
Inventory Accounting
With CWM, all material movements for catch-weight materials are posted in 2 units of measure (UoM) in parallel, the
logistics UoM (e.g. pieces) and the valuation UoM (e.g. kg). Accordingly, Inbound and outbound delivery for catch-
weight materials are also recorded in both UoMs. If handling unit management is in place, also postings related to
handling unit-items are performed in both UoMs.
In warehouse managment, transfer orders are used to report quantities in both UoMs in order to enable inventory
management to update inventory in both UoMs.
Inventory Accounting for CWM supports valuation of goods movements and material inventory based on parallel units
of measures as used with Catch Weight Management scenarios. For each CW relevant material either the logistics
unit of measure (e.g. pieces) or a parallel unit of measure (e.g. kg) can be chosen as base for the valuation. Material
movements can be valuated online with either moving average price or standard price. In addition balance sheet
valuation functionality allows the calculation of periodic prices based on different procedures like FIFO or market
price. All prices are held in the flexible price manager which supports daily or periodical prices and introduction of
additional prices types required for additional purposes. Besides material inventory also work in process is valuated
immediately with the costs incurred for the production or process order. Remaining variances after goods receipt can
be settled periodically as also remaining variances from procurement processes can be cleared periodically.

Global / Pre-Configured Template, “What Do I Get”.
Approach is to standardize at least 80%-85% of processes across organization and make that the
global template. Gaps (15%-20%) will be addressed in local templates. First implementation
would be global template plus at least one local deployment

Operational End-to-End Scenarios
Traceability & Food Safety; Quality Management
Old methods of product tracking are costly:
• Fragmented systems, limited visibility/traceability, lack of real time
information supported by query capability lead to an error prone and
time consuming effort. The result is high cost, high risk and the
potential to seriously damage consumer trust and your brand value.
