business logistics
Term | Definition |
---|---|
A group of collaborative companies | Supply Chain is best described as |
Logistics | is a subset of supply chain |
economic, market, relevancy values | 3 values of integration |
Economic value: | High quality at a low price (Economic of Scale) |
Market value: | Convenient product/service assortment and choice (Economic of Scope) |
Relevancy value: | Unique product/service bundle |
computing power and the Internet | Technological advancements in affect the supply chain |
Information Technology, Integrative management, Responsiveness (Push, Pull strategies, postponements), Globalization | Forces driving supply chain strategies |
Lowest total process cost | is the focus of integrated management |
Anticipatory Business Model (Push, build-to-stock) | Based on forecasts or best guesses of demand of products and products are ‘pushed’ to customers |
Responsive Business Model (Pull, demand-driven model or build-to-order) | Actual customer orders or purchases trigger events in the supply chain : |
Driven by forecast | The Anticipatory Business Model is best described as |
Postponement | Manufacturing (or Form) Geographic (or Logistics) |
Service and cost minimization | Logistical value proposition: |
Availability, Operational performance, Service reliability | Service benefits are created by logistical performance in these 3 areas |
Availability | involves having inventory to consistently meet customer material or product requirements |
Operational performance | deals with the time required to deliver a customer’s order, Key metrics for this area involve delivery speed and consistency |
Service reliability | involves the quality attributes of logistics – Key to quality is accurate measurement of availability and operational performance over time |
Cost minimization: | Traditional Cost Logistics Model vs Total Cost Logistics Model |
(Annual holding cost * Value of shipment ) / 365 | Daily cost of holding product |
The work of logistics | Order processing, inventory, transportation, warehousing, material handling and packaging, facility network |
Core customer segmentation: Product profitability: Transportation integration: Time-based performance Competitive performance | 5 Inventory Strategies |
Core customer segmentation | Some customers are highly profitable or have outstanding growth potential |
Product profitability: | Less than 20 percent of all products marketed account for more than 80 percent of total profit (Pareto Principle ) |
Transportation integration | Most transportation rates are based on the volume and shipment size |
Cost, speed, consistency | Three fundamental factors of transportation performance: |
Inventory safety stocks are required to protect against service failure | When transportation lacks consistency, |
Logistical operations: | Inventory and information flow |
raw materials, work-in-process, Finished products | Managers must be concerned with the movement and storage of inventory in 3 major forms: |
Planning / coordination information & Operational information needed to complete work | Information flow: Logistical information has two major components |
Responsiveness, variance reduction, inventory reduction, shipment consolidation, quality, life cycle support | Logistical integration objectives: |
Visibility, coordination, reduce lead time, inventory. | Benefits of Effective and Efficient Use of Information |
Office automation system, communication system, transaction processing system, management information system and executive information system, decision support system, enterprise system | Six system types |
Spreadsheet | example of Office automation system |
GPS | example of Communication system |
Point-of-Sale POS | example of Transaction processing |
Logistics Information system (LIS) | example of MIS & EIS |
Warehouse Management System(WMS), Transportation Management System(TMS) | example of decision support system |
Enterprise resource planning (ERP), | example of enterprise system |
ERP | The backbone of most firm’s logistical information systems~ |
CRM, Logistics, manufacturing, inventory deployment, purchasing | Enterprise five operations system components |
logistics manager requesting information | A logistics information system begins with |
Online Retailing | Similarities: Logistics functions and activities Difference : order sizes, packaging, transportation methods and companies, return rates |
Transactional, Compliance, Management information, Price | E-procurement 4 benefits |
enhanced transactional efficiency | Transactional benefits: |
Compliance benefits: | Focus on the saving that come from adherence to established procurement policies |
Management information benefits: | encompass those that result from management information, customer satisfaction, and supplier satisfaction levels after implementation of e-procurement |
Price benefits: | those that are given as a result of adopting e-procurement |
Four economic utilities, 3 discrepancies, Four generic supply chain service outputs | Customer-focused marketing: |
Form, Possession, Time, Place | Four economic utilities: |
Space, Time, quantity and assortment | 3 discrepancies: |
Spatial convenience, lot size, waiting time, product variety and assortment | Four generic supply chain service outputs: |
availability, operational performance, service reliability | Basic elements of customer service |
At right amount, product, time, place, condition, price, information | 7R |
Fill rate, stockout frequency, Orders shipped complete | Availability (3): |
Speed, consistency, Flexibility, malfunction recovery | Operational performance (4): |
involves a combination of logistics attributes beyond simply availability and operational performance | Service reliability: |
zero defect | Perfect order: |
Customer expectations (10), a model of customer satisfaction (6gaps) | Customer satisfaction |
Reliability, responsiveness, access, communication, credibility, security, courtesy, competency, tangibles, knowing the customers | Customer expectations (10): |
Knowledge, standards, performance, communications, perception, satisfaction/quality | Six gaps: |
Achieving customer success, value-added service | Customer success: |
unique or specific activities that firms can jointly develop to enhance their efficiency, effectiveness and relevancy | Value-added services refer to |
higher logistics cost | greater spatial convenience results in |
focused on today transaction, short term view | Procurement concept, purchasing |
building relationships with suppliers and downstream customers | Procurement: focus on |
Continuous supply, minimize inventory investment, quality improvement, supplier development, access technology and innovation, lowest total cost of ownership | Procurement objectives |
2 types of discount: Quantity, Cash | Lowest total cost of ownership: |
Insourcing vs. outsourcing, alternative procurement strategies, procurement strategy portfolio | Procurement strategy: |
1) User buy 2) Volume consolidation (supply base reduction) 3) Supplier operational integration 4) Value management | Four alternative procurement strategies |
has potential benefits for suppliers as well as for buyers. | Supply base reduction (volume consolidation) |
Just-in-time(JIT) | Seeks to minimize inventory by reducing (or eliminating) safety stockwhile having the required amount of materials arrive at the production location at the exact time they are needed |
evaluate decision | final step in the supplier selection and evaluation process |
Collaborating planning, requirements planning, resource management | Forecasting requirements |
wrong | Forecasts are always |
groups or families of items and shorter time periods | Forecasts are more accurate for |
error estimate | Every forecast should include an |
calculated demand | Forecasts are no substitute for |
Base demand, seasonal, trend, cyclic, promotion, irregular | Forecasting components: |
(BD*S*T*C*P)+irregular Base demand*Seasonal*trend*Cyclic*Promotion | The forecasting model: |
Three integrated process: administration, technique, support system | Forecasting Process: |
Relies on expert opinion and special | Qualitative |
Time series, Causal | Quantitative |
do not always result in less forecast error than qualitative techniques | quantitative techniques |
finished good inventory | In MTS ( Made to Stock) customer orders are satisfied from |
individual customers and generally have long lead times | Engineer to order products are designed for |
Performance: Reliability: Durability: Conformance: Features, Aesthetics: Servicability:Perceived quality | The 8 dimensions of product quality |
Brand power, volume, variety, constraints, lead time | Manufacturing perspective: |
Volume: | economic of scale |
Variety: | economic of scope |
Constraints: | Capacity, equipment, setup/changeover |
Manufacturing strategy: | Basic manufacturing processes, matching manufacturing strategy to market requirements, alternative manufacturing strategies, total cost of manufacturing |
Job shop:,Batch Process, Line flow, Continuous process: | Four basic manufacturing processes |
Job shop: | Flexibility: Very high, customization: Very high, volume: Very low |
Batch Process: | F: High, C: High volume: Low |
Line flow: | typical example: automobile manufacturer, limited, V: High |
Continuous process: | Flexibility: very low, customization: very low, volume: Very high, typical example: petroleum products |
Engineer-to-order(ETO), Make-to-order (MTO), Assemble-to-order (ATO) or Build-to-stock(BTO), Make-to-stock(MTS) or Make-to-Plan(MTP): | Four main manufacturing strategies |
Engineer-to-order(ETO): | used when products are unique and extensively customized for the specific needs of individual customers Design – Purchase – Manufacture – Assemble- Ship (the longest lead time)** |
Make-to-order (MTO): | Small quantities(have lower inventory and warehouse costs), but more complexity, usually shipped direct to customer Inventory –manufacture-assemble-ship Subway case |
Assemble-to-order (ATO) or Build-to-stock(BTO): | when base components are made, stocked to forecast, but products are not assembled until customer order is received Manufacture-inventory-assemble-ship Dell example |
Make-to-stock(MTS) or Make-to-Plan(MTP): | Economic of scale, large volume, long production runs, low variety, **Produce finished goods, customers buys from inventory!! Manufacture-assemble-inventory-ship McDonald’s case |
Contemporary manufacturing developments: | Mass customization, lean systems, six sigma, logistical interfaces |
Lean system : | the minimize the amount of all resources, elimination of “waste”. Four principles: |
