 General Composition of Supply Chain
Three Main Channel entities/Actors
• Supplier
 A provider of raw goods or services.
 e.g. Raw material, Energy, Services, Components. Farmers, Ore
mines, Spare parts manufacturers etc.
• Manufacturer
 Receives raw materials and components to convert it into
finished products
 e.g. Finished Goods manufacturer, Denim industry, Aerospace
Industry, Automobile Industry, Cement Industry, Sugar Industry etc.
• Distributor
 Receives and distribute finished products to final consumers
 e.g. Macy’s, Wall Mart, Nestle, Nike, Cash & Carry etc.

 Main Supply Chain Structures
Question: Can we apply same supply chain management concepts to
all types of industries?
• You can improve operating efficiency by employing the right
supply chain structure.

3/5/2021 19
 Journey of Main Supply Chain Strategies
• Stable Supply Chain:
 Less variability and innovation in product’s demand and design.
Produced in bulk quantities.
 A heavy focus on execution, efficiencies, and cost performance.
 Slight focus on communication technologies.
 Strong relationship with business partners.
 Examples: ????? Cement Industry, Pharmaceuticals, Fertilizers
• Reactive supply chain:
• Seasonal or on-demand manufacturing.
• Required good communication technologies in order to react quickly.
• Example: ?????? Ice cream, Clothing industry, Sugar industry, Agriculture industry
• Efficient reactive supply chain:
• Acts as an efficient, low-cost provider of goods and services.
• Operate in highly competitive environment.
• Required highly efficient communication systems to reduce lead time and
operational costs.
 Supply Chain Models

• Vertical integration

• Horizontal Integration

3/5/2021 21
 Supply Chain Models
• Vertical integration

• It is a strategy to gain
control over its suppliers or
distributors, retailers in order
to increase the firm’s power
in the marketplace, reduce
transaction costs and secure
supplies or distribution
channels.
3/5/2021 22
 Supply Chain Models
• Examples(Vertica

 Amazon, Ford, Hyundai,
Apple, Google,
Microsoft

 AMAZON Case

3/5/2021 24
 Supply Chain Models
• Examples: Apple
• They are completely vertically
integrated. They own the OS, the
hardware and the ecosystem. The
result of this vertical integration is that
they have complete control of their
future.
• Samsung
• They do their own design, their own
chips, and in their case they even
do their own screens and
manufacture their own products.
3/5/2021 25
 Supply Chain Models
• Horizontal integration
is a strategy where a
company acquires, or
mergers or takes over
another company in
the same industry
value chain.

 What can Supply Chain
Management do?
• If you cannot bring big change, Start doing small changes.
• The need for Cost savings and better coordination of resources are
reasons to employ Supply Chain Management.
• Some Examples:
• The grocery industry could save $30 billion (10% of operating cost)
by using effective logistics and supply chain strategies.

 A typical box of cereal spends 104 days from factory to sale

 A typical car spends 15 days from factory to dealership
o Faster turnaround of the goods is better???

• National Semiconductor used air transportation and closed 6

warehouses, 34% increase in sales and 47% decrease in delivery
lead time.

 Benefits For Effective Supply Chain
Management
o "The biggest issue enterprises face today is intelligent
visibility of their supply chains both upstream and
downstream" (AMR Research)

• Compaq lost $0.5 B to $1 B in sales because laptops were not

available when and where needed.

• P&G (Proctor&Gamble) estimates it saved $65 M (in 18 months)

by collaboration with retailers resulting in a better match of
supply and demand

• When the 1 gig processor was introduced by AMD (Advanced

Micro Devices), the price of the 800 meg processor dropped
30%

 Benefits For Effective Supply Chain
Management
• In a firm, its customers and suppliers all know
each others future plans and are willing to
coordinate,
 They can reduce cost significantly
 Much easier planning and scheduling
 Quality improvement
 More Productivity
• All leads to more profit and customer satisfaction

3/5/2021 33
 Bullwhip Effect
• Lack of communication, coordination and
disorganization within supply chain can result one of
the most common problem of supply chain.
• This common problem is known as the bullwhip
effect or whiplash effect.
o Increasing fluctuations in inventory in response to shifts in
customer demand as one moves further up the supply
chain.
• Bullwhip effect is a phenomenon in Forecast driven
distribution channels

3/5/2021 34
 Bullwhip Effect
• The bullwhip effect in the supply chain occurs when
changes in consumer demand causes the companies
in a supply chain to order more/less goods from
their suppliers to meet the new demand.
• The bullwhip effect usually flows up the supply
chain, starting with the retailer, wholesaler,
distributor, manufacturer and then the raw
materials supplier.
• It occurs because the demand for goods is based
on the poor demand forecasts from companies,
rather than actual consumer demand.
3/5/2021 35
 Causes of Bullwhip Effect
• The main causes of bullwhip effect
are;
 Disorganization
 Lack of communication
 Wrong Demand Forecasting
 Longer Lead-Time
 Price Fluctuation (Discounts)

3/5/2021 36
 Example: Bullwhip Effect
• Lets say;
• Actual demand from a customer = 8 units
• The retailer order from distributer = 10 units
– (Extra 2 units are to ensure they don’t run out of stock)
• Distributer orders to manufacturer = 20 units
– (To ensure that they should have enough stock to
guarantee timely shipment of goods to the retailer)
• Manufacturer order raw material for = 40
units
– (In order to balance the economy of scale in
production)

• How the Large Super-Store keep track of
their inventory?
• Wal-Mart MRP System: Wal-Mart retail
stores, scan the barcodes of the products
purchased by customers, causing the local
store’s MRP system to deduct units from the
inventory until a preset reorder point is
reached.
• When this occurs, the local computer system
automatically contacts Wal-Mart’s regional
distribution center’s MRP system and generates
an order.
• At the distribution center, the order is filled and
sent along with other orders to the particular
Wal-Mart store. Eventually, the distribution
center’s MRP system automatically generates
an order to the manufacturer who produces the
product for Wal-Mart, reducing the likelihood
of stock outs or excess inventories.

Anchor Blue, was having many problems
few years ago with its distribution centre
and inventory management system,
leading to problems stocking its retail
stores. Consequently, they outsourced
their logistics function to UPS Supply
Chain Solutions, resulting in a 40 percent
decrease in unit processing costs and a
37 percent increase in merchandise
pieces moved per year.
According to Richard Space, senior vice president for logistics at Anchor Blue,
“We have increased delivery to stores and seen better fill rates. What used to
take ten days from DC to stores now takes two. And that means improved cash
flow.” In the end, Space says the keys to a successful outsourcing arrangement
are communication and trust with partners.

• Network design- creating distribution networks based on
tradeoff decisions between cost & sophistication of

• Large number of warehouses: The transportation cost
from factory to warehouse, the inventory holding cost
and the cost to build and operate warehouses would be
quite high, but the payoff would be better customer
service.
• Few Warehouses: Low transportation cost from factory
to warehouse, low construction and operating cost but
limited customer services.

 Future Trends in Supply Chain
Management
Expanding (and Contracting) the Supply Chain

 Today, firms are increasing their partnerships with

foreign firms and building foreign production facilities
to accommodate their market expansion plans.

 The expansion involves:

• breadth- foreign manufacturing, office & retail
sites, foreign suppliers & customers
• depth- second and third tier suppliers &
customers
 Future Trends in Supply Chain
Management
 Increasing Supply Chain Responsiveness

 Firms will increasingly need to be more flexible and

responsive to customer needs
 Supply chains will need to benchmark
industry performance and, meet and
improve on a continuous basis
 Responsiveness improvement will come
from more effective and faster product &
service delivery systems

Future Trends in Supply Chain Management-
 Reducing Supply Chain Costs
• Cost reduction can be achieved throughout the supply chain by
reducing waste by reducing purchasing and product distribution
costs.
• By reducing excess inventories and non-value-adding
activities among the supply chain participants.

 Cost reduction achieved in the supply chain

through: Reduced purchasing costs
Reducing waste
Reducing excess inventory
And reducing non-value added activities
