According to the World Economic Forum (Supply Chain Decarbonization Report 2009), the overall capacity use of EU transport networks is less than 50%. Horizontal collaboration offers a radically new way to organize supply networks and realize 2-digit improvements in logistics cost, service level and sustainability. Some of the largest corporations in the world are currently gearing up to bundle their supply chains by creating logistics communities built on trust, synergy and gain sharing. This presentation provides a brief summary of terms, concepts and examples which are relevant to this highly innovative and rapidly evolving domain.
15. Present situation: summary
AS IS A AS IS B
Costs (Euro) 188685 446078
Distance (Km) 110154 244918
Working time (Hours) 4134 9948
Orders 1610 6086
Pallets 20670 26174
Clients 55 696
Vehicles 497 1168
Trips 742 1374
Total CO2-emission (kg) 77561 175576
The average delivery cost per pallet is 9 euro for A and 17 euro for B
18. Groupage: summary
AS IS (Sum) TO BE 1 Result
Costs (Euro) 634763 612841 -3,58%
Distance (Km) 355072 326352 -8,80%
Working time (Hours) 14082 13785 -2,15%
Orders 7696 7696 0%
Pallets 46844 46844 0%
Clients 751 751 0%
Vehicles 1665 1544 -7,84%
Trips 2116 1931 -9,58%
Total CO2-emission (kg) 253137 239555 -6%
≡ An incremental drop in kilometres, vehicles and trips is the result of reactive
order consolidation by date (=groupage) for both shippers.
≡ But in this scenario, the cost per pallet changes to 13 Euro per pallet for both
shippers -> no incentive for Shipper A to collaborate.
20. Horizontal collaboration:
summary
AS IS (Sum) TO BE 2 Result
Costs (Euro) 634763 456545 -39,04%
Distance (Km) 355072 243814 -45,63%
Working time (Hours) 14082 10262 -37,22%
Orders 7696 7696 0%
Pallets 46844 46844 0%
Clients 751 751 0%
Vehicles 1665 1187 -40,27%
Trips 2116 1647 -28,48%
Total CO2-emission (kg) 253137 183172 -38%
≡ In the collaboration scenario, orders are orchestrated to maximize vehicle loads and to
synchronize delivery dates (with same or higher service level).
≡ The result is an exponential improvement in all parameters.
≡ The cost to serve decreases to 10 Euro per pallet in the horizontal collaboration scenario
-> collaboration and gain sharing between A & B become possible.
30. Roadmap for Collaboration
« Successful collaboration is not a matter of chance… it is
the result of a process.»
frequent evaluation and feedback
internal
negotiation
analysis
and valuation
(SW/OT)
collaboration collaboration
strategy contract systems control and evolution
driver or potential and
and vision (charter) integration management (growth)
objective intent
partner analysis form
and selection selection
1. Strategic alignment 2. Formation 3. Implementation 4. Control and Mgt.
Go/No go Go/No go Go/No go
38. Antitrust aspects
≡ National and European legislation:
≡ Trade laws (National Councils for Competition)
≡ Article 101/102 EC Treaty (European Commission)
≡ European commission is generally supportive of collaborative supply chain
initiatives which result in CO2 reduction and reduced road congestion
≡ Market disturbance is strictly forbidden:
≡ Price fixing
≡ Monopolies
≡ Cartels
≡ Market dominance
≡ Indicative tresholds: 15 mio (individual) of 40 mio (combined) EUR
≡ Unlikely to get in the way of “normal” logistics partnerships
≡ Risk management
≡ When in doubt or before any large project, seek legal advice!
39. Cost / benefit sharing…
how to divide the cake?
IT’S MY MONEY !!
