Demand is reducing
Which location, Which supplier has the highest inventory?

Demand is cancelled

What is the total cumulative lead-time?

How total cumulative lead-time is affecting my inventory liability?

Can I reduce the total cumulative lead-time?

Key Observations

Source - SAP

Client has higher inventory carrying cost which could be due to high costs of capital, high inventory obsolescence, high DC operating costs Client significantly higher transportation costs which could be due to increased expediting of shipments. Client has significantly high safety stock and days of supply as compared to Q1 peer group.

Leverage Capabilities of SAP SNC with Patni Add-on Features


SAP SNC: Standard Functionalities Patni Add-on Features
Simplified Navigation & Screens for users of outsourced manufacturing locations Templates for uploads of Component Demand / production schedules / planned receipts / on-hand inventory data Custom functionality for creation of Purchase Requests from SAP SNC / customized alert framework What if Analysis using dashboards in Xcelsius software Information Broadcasting over different mediums

Improve Visibility & Collaboration using the SAP SNC application


7

Simplification Example all key functions on 1 screen for users at the outsourced manufacturer location
This helps Vendor User to Search Work Order based on only the required search criteria. In most cases the Vendor Knows the PO Number that he is working with than the WO Number

The related WO is pulled up and displayed in the PO Information Area

This section allows the Vendor to modify the Planned Production Schedule and also Split Production Runs. This section displays the completed Production Status. Similar to the Production Progress in standard SAP SNC

The Actual Production is reported here. This creates a line for the corresponding Phase. The updated data is displayed in the Production Status above.
8

Work Order Processing - Batch Update for QC Phase

This screen allows updating the QC Phase in a Work Order. Since hundreds of records are created each day, there is a requirement to be able to update multiple Orders simultaneously. On Save the program creates lines for the QC Phase for all the Orders selected based on the Lot status (Custom field).

Patni Solution for High Tech - Inventory Risk Liability Analytics using SAP SNC
Traditional inventory metrics fall short to address these issues and guide supply chain managers Traditional inventory metrics are lagging indicators i.e. it takes weeks or months for the problem to register in metrics In todays environment, companies should measure and evaluate Inventory Risk instead of just Inventory Look at the whole supply chain and not just the portion within their own organization

Inventory Risk Liability Analytics addresses this gap by developing N-tier inventory metrics which helps in informed decision making in supply chain

11

Decision Making w/o Risk Liability Analytics


Check finish product Inventory, WIP and component inventory owned by me Use Inventory Reports provided by ERP Check component inventory liability across supply chain Contact Suppliers to get the inventory data at their end Reconcile data from various suppliers Check contract agreement with each supplier. Calculate liability of component inventory at each suppliers Compare the actual inventory data with actual requirements Calculate liability of unused component inventory at each suppliers Complexity and volume of data increases with number of components and suppliers

Inventory Exposure KPI - Calculation


Inventory Exposure

The amount of committed inventory within total supply chain based on expected demand and cumulative lead time associated with the current supply chain. In short it is the amount of money at risk in the supply chain at any given point of time.

Inventory Exposure = Price (Cost) * Cumulative Lead-Time * Average Demand This is calculated for each component of the product. The sum of the individual pieces then coalesces to show the exposure for a product, a product line, or a whole company.

For example, if a product has an average weekly usage of 100 units and one part in the product has a cumulative lead time of 16 weeks, you know that you will have the equivalent of approximately 1600 units in the pipeline somewhere.

22

Inventory Exposure Percentage KPI - Calculation


Inventory Exposure Percentage Inventory Exposure Percentage for Product = Inventory Exposure for Product / Cost of Goods Sold for Product Here the COGS is computed at the product level. COGS is calculated by multiplying expected product volume with cost of the product. A higher Inventory Exposure Percentage indicates higher risk.

Inventory Exposure Turns Inventory Exposure Turns = Cost of Goods Sold / Inventory Exposure This is just the inverse of Exposure Percentage. It has the same characteristics and is simply another way to view the data. One interesting note is that a companys inventory turns should always be higher than its Inventory Exposure Turns.
