Critical Thinking
In today’s highly competitive, extremely variable, and dynamic environment, many firms are
seeking solutions. Supply chain management becomes more sophisticated and the difference
between what firms want to achieve and what they can do in-house continues to grow, firms begin
to realize that doing the right thing becomes more interesting than doing everything. Accordingly,
they become better focused and more specialized by outsourcing and offshoring activities that are
far from their core businesses. In many cases, firms decide to outsource this function in whole or in
part to agents or third-party logistics firms.
Using this concept of offshoring and outsourcing answer the following questions by conceding any
Saudi Local company or any Multinational company.

The Supply Chain Concept
 Development of the Concept
– Total systems cost – remains an important element
of logistics analysis.
– Outbound logistics – the warehousing and
distribution of finished goods.
– Inbound logistics – the receiving and warehousing
of raw materials, and their distribution to
manufacturing as they are required.
– Value chain analysis integrated logistics activities.
Business Logistics in a Firm
The Supply Chain management Concept
 A supply chain is a group of partners who
collectively convert a basic commodity
(upstream) into a finished product
(downstream) that is valued by end-customers,
and who manage returns at each stage.
Definition
Planning and controlling all of the
processes that link partners in a
supply chain together in order to
serve needs of the end-customer.
Supply chain:
structure and tiering
The process starts with
several external suppliers
that move milk, cardboard,
and plastic to the processing
plant.
After the milk is processed
and packaged, it is delivered
to retailers, who sell it to
customers. The alternative
delivery system is delivery
from a warehouse directly to
customers’ homes.
Supply chain:
structure and tiering
Supply chain can be fairly
complex. The supply
chain for a car
manufacturer includes
hundreds of suppliers,
dozens of manufacturing
plants (for parts) and
assembly plants (for
cars), dealers, direct
business customers,
wholesalers, customers,
and support functions
such as product
engineering and
purchasing.
Logistics concept

Definition material flow and information
flow across the supply chain.

 Variability undermines the dependability with which a product or
service meets target.

Different logistics
performance
objectives
Order winners
are factors that directly and
significantly help products to
win orders in the
marketplace.
Customers regard such
factors as key reasons for
buying that product or
services.
Order qualifiers
are factors that are regarded
by the market as an ‘entry
ticket’.
Unless the product or service
meets basic performance
standards, it will not be taken
seriously.

The marketing perspective
• Key issue
1
What are the marketing
implications for logistics strategy?
The marketing perspective
• Marketing is a philosophy that integrates
the disparate activities and functions that
take place within the network. Satisfied
[end] customers are seen as the only source
of profit, growth and security. (Doyle,1994)
The marketing perspective
The Challenge…
Customer
The
challenge
Increased sales and
market shares
Strong brand
Increased productivity
Short lead times
The marketing perspective
The battleground is the customer’s wallet.
The victors will be those that can order their entire organization around
the challenges of getting cheaper more profitable and more loyal
customers.
It’s an age of expert buyers. Customers are becoming ever more
critical and demanding.
Customers know that they can play the market and are placing higher
and higher demands on suppliers to give them what they want – and
immediately.

Segmentation
• Key issue
1
What is segmentation, and what
are its implications to logistics
strategy?
Segmentation
• Market can be segmented in many ways
– Demographic: such as age, gender and
education
– Geographic: such as urban vs. country, types of
house and region
– Technical: the use that customers are going to
make of a product
– Behavioral: such as spending pattern and
frequency of purchase
A powerful way to bridge
marketing and logistics
Segmentation
• Fragmentation of Markets and Product
Variety
– Are the requirements of all market segments
served identical?
– Are the characteristics of all products identical?
– Can a single supply chain structure be used
for all products / customers? No! A single
supply chain will fail different customers on
efficiency or responsiveness or both.
Segmentation
• Activity 1
– Try to compare the segmentation strategies
between Dell and Lenovo in computer
market.
– What logistics strategy should Dell make to
fit its market segmentation? So what about
Lenovo?

How can logistics costs be represented
• Problems with traditional cost accounting
as related to logistics (Christopher, 1998)
– The true costs of servicing different customer
types, channels and market segments are
poorly understood.
– Costs are captured at too high at a level of
aggregation.
– Costing is functionally oriented at the expense
of output.
– The emphasis on full cost allocation to
products ignores customer costs

Criticisms of Traditional Cost Allocation
• Assumes all cost is volume-related
• Departmental focus, not process focus
• Focus on costs incurred, not cause of
costs
Activity-based costing
Conventional Costing
• Total Cost = Material + Labour+ Overheads
• Overheads are allocated to the products on volume
based measures e.g. labour hours, machine hours,
units produced
Will this not distort the costing in the new
environment?

Slide 4.6
Drivers and logistics implications of
internationalization
Motivations for International Expansion
• Increase Market Share
– domestic market may lack the size to support
efficient scale manufacturing facilities
• Return on Investment
• large investment projects may require global
markets to justify the capital outlays
• weak patent protection in some countries
implies that firms should expand overseas
rapidly in order to prevent imitators

Slide 4.7
Drivers and logistics implications of
internationalization
Motivations for International Expansion
• Economies of Scale or Learning
– expanding size or scope of markets helps to
achieve economies of scale in manufacturing as
well as marketing, R & D or distribution
– can spread costs over a larger sales’ base
– increase profit per unit
• Location Advantages
– low cost markets may aid in developing
competitive advantage
– may achieve better access to:
• Raw materials
• Key customers
• Lower cost labor
• Energy

Drivers and logistics implications of
internationalization
• Strategy and operating decisions are
Multidomestic decentralized to strategic business units (SBU)
in each country
strategy
• Products and services are tailored to local
markets
• Business units in one country are independent
of each other
• Assumes markets differ by country or regions
• Focus on competition in each market
• Prominent strategy among European firms
due to broad variety of cultures and markets
in Europe
Logistical network: Mainly national; Sourcing, storage and
shipping on a national level and duplicated by country
Harrison and van Hoek, Logistics Management and Strategy: Competing Through the Supply Chain, 4th Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2011
Slide 4.11
Drivers and logistics implications of
internationalization
Global
strategy
• Products are standardized across national
markets
• Decisions regarding business-level strategies
are centralized in the home office
• Strategic business units (SBU) are assumed to
be interdependent
• Emphasizes economies of scale
• Often lacks responsiveness to local markets
• Requires resource sharing and coordination
across borders (which also makes it difficult
to manage)
Logistical network: Limited number of production locations that
ship to markets around the globe through a highly
internationalized network with limited localized warehouse and
resources.
Harrison and van Hoek, Logistics Management and Strategy: Competing Through the Supply Chain, 4th Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2011
Slide 4.12
Drivers and logistics implications of
internationalization
• Seeks to achieve both global efficiency and
Transnational local responsiveness
• Difficult to achieve because of simultaneous
strategy
requirements
− strong central control and coordination to
achieve efficiency
− decentralization to achieve local market
responsiveness
• Must pursue organizational learning to
achieve competitive advantage
Balanced local sourcing and shipping (e.g. for customized
products and local specialties) and global sourcing and
shipping (for example for commodities).

P:D ratios and differences
• P-time and D-time are measures of
performance of the supply pipeline.
• Using time to measure supply chain
performance
– P-time (Production time)
• The time it takes to pass a product or service
through supply chain
• including the time needed to procure the longest
lead time parts and the total manufacturing time
P-time = customer raises order
deliver product to customer

• The focal firm ‘game plan’ comprises a set
of inter-linked modules ranging from ‘front
end’ (demand management, resource
planning, sales and operations planning
and master production scheduling) to
‘engine’ (materials and capacity planning)
to ‘back end’ (detailed planning and control
of source– make–deliver processes). All
are linked to the enterprise resource
planning (ERP) database.

Harrison and van Hoek, Logistics Management and Strategy: Competing Through the Supply Chain, 4th Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2011
Slide 6.5
Managing inventory in the
supply chain
• Planning and controlling factory output is but part of the
challenge of managing material flow in the supply chain.
• Upstream processes such as distribution and retail for
both finished products and spare parts are subject to
independent, random demand. Such demand is
independent in that it is not affected by the actions of the
focal firm .
• Dependent demand, on the other hand, is fixed by the
actions of the firm – such as order acceptance and
determining forecasts.
Harrison and van Hoek, Logistics Management and Strategy: Competing Through the Supply Chain, 4th Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2011
Slide 6.6
• ‘Economic’ batch sizes and order sizes
• The question of how many parts to make at a time has
traditionally been answered by reference to a
longstanding concept called the ‘economic’ batch
quantity (EBQ) formula.
• Similar principles are used to determine how many parts
at a time to order from suppliers in ‘economic’ order
quantities (EOQs).
Harrison and van Hoek, Logistics Management and Strategy: Competing Through the Supply Chain, 4th Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2011
Slide 6.7
• Both EBQ and EOQ assume that parts are
used at a uniform rate (i.e. that demand is
stable), and that another batch of parts
should be made or ordered when stock
falls below the re-order point.
• (Figure 6.3)
Harrison and van Hoek, Logistics Management and Strategy: Competing Through the Supply Chain, 4th Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2011
Slide 6.8
Periodic order quantity and
target stock levels
• Various methods have been adopted to overcome some
of the deficiencies of EOQ models, which mean that a
set order size is placed on a supplier whenever the
inventory level falls below the re-order level. The effect
upon suppliers is that although a regular amount is
ordered
• An EOQ system finds it very difficult to cope if demand
goes up or down rapidly.
•
If demand goes up rapidly, then an EOQ system would
tend to make replenishments that lag the demand trend.
Harrison and van Hoek, Logistics Management and Strategy: Competing Through the Supply Chain, 4th Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2011
Slide 6.9
Planning and control in
retailing
• Retailing is faced with planning and control
challenges which are quite distinct from
manufacturing:
. A retailer cannot generate sales without stock, and stock
that is bought for sales that do not happen ‘constitutes a
retailer’s nightmare’ (Varley, 2006).
• Several stages of the internal supply chain must be
coordinated – depots, back of store and front of store.
• Retail profit margins in grocery are tighter (2–4 per cent)
than for large, branded manufacturers (8–10 per cent).
•
Harrison and van Hoek, Logistics Management and Strategy: Competing Through the Supply Chain, 4th Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2011
Slide 6.10
continued
• Demand can be affected by changes that are difficult to
forecast,
• ‘Best before’ and ‘use by’ dates for fresh produce
increase obsolescence pressuresand inventory turns.
• Reverse logistics is more complicated because product
is being reversed from one point (the store) to a
multitude of supply chains
• (suppliers).
Harrison and van Hoek, Logistics Management and Strategy: Competing Through the Supply Chain, 4th Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2011
Slide 6.11
Implications of poor
coordination
• One consequence of poor coordination
within a supply network is amplification of
changes in demand upstream.
Amplification of demand changes has
been called the bullwhip effect.
Harrison and van Hoek, Logistics Management and Strategy: Competing Through the Supply Chain, 4th Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2011
Slide 6.12
four major causes of the bullwhip effect:
● updating of demand forecasts: resulting in changes to
safety stock and stock in the pipeline;
● order batching: while retail customers may buy mostly on
Saturdays, MPC (Manufacturing planning control) systems
may batch orders according to different timing rules;
● price fluctuations: promotions most often result in
lumping of demand into peaks and troughs, when the
ongoing pattern is stable;
● rationing and shortage gaming: when the latest games
console is in short supply, retailers are rationed by
manufacturers.

• Efficient consumer response (ECR)
• ECR is designed to integrate and rationalize product
assortment, promotion, new product development and
replenishment across the supply chain.
• It aims to fulfil the changing demands and requirements
of the end-customer through effective collaboration
across all supply chain members, in order to enhance
the effectiveness of merchandising efforts, inventory flow
and supply chain administration (PE International, 1997).
Harrison and van Hoek, Logistics Management and Strategy: Competing Through the Supply Chain, 4th Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2011
Slide 6.15
• The main areas addressed under ECR
initiatives are category management,
product replenishment and enabling
technologies. These can be broken down
into 14 areas where individual as well as
well-integrated improvements can be
made in order to enhance efficiency (see
Figure 6.8).

Category management
• With an objective of preventing stockout situations and
improving
supplier
retailer
relations,
category
management aims to balance retailers’ product volume
and variety objectives.
• Among activities included in the category management
process are the capture and utilization of knowledge of
the drivers behind consumer attitudes and choices.

Slide 6.18
Collaborative planning, forecasting and
replenishment (CPFR)
•
Collaborative planning, forecasting and replenishment (CPFR) is
aimed at improving collaboration between buyer and supplier so that
customer service is improved while inventory management is made
more efficient.
The trade-off between customer service and
inventory is thereby altered (Oliveira and Barratt, 2001).
•
•
CPFR focuses on the process of forecasting supply and demand by
bringing various plans and projections from both the supplier and the
customer into synchronization.

Slide 6.19
Vendor-managed inventory
(VMI)
• Vendor-managed inventory (VMI), is an
approach to inventory and order fulfilment
whereby the supplier, not the customer, is
responsible for managing and replenishing
inventory.

Slide 6.20
Quick response (QR)
• Quick response (QR) is an approach to
meeting customer demand by supplying
the right quantity, variety and quality at the
right time to the right place at the right
price.

Lean Thinking
• Is a way to recognize and eliminate
wasteful activities from the supply chain in
order to increase product flow and speed.
• Organizations that incorporate lean
thinking into their supply chain can benefit
from improved customer service, reduced
environmental impact by reducing waste
and even overall corporate citizenship.

Slide 7.9
Principles of lean thinking
Lean thinking is a cyclical route to seeking perfection by
eliminating waste and thereby enriching value from
customer perspective. The customer should not pay for the
cost, time and quality penalties of the wasteful process in
the supply chain
▪ Specify value- Value from customer
perspective
▪ Identify the value stream- Identify the whole
sequence of process along the supply
network
Harrison and van Hoek, Logistics Management and Strategy: Competing Through the Supply Chain, 4th Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2011
Slide 7.10
Principles of lean thinking
▪ Make value flow- means eliminating the
seven wastes and can be implemented by
applying the key factors such as minimizing
delays, inventories, defects
▪ Pull scheduling-Implies that demand
information is made available across the
supply chain.
▪ Seek perfection-Is achieved by getting better
gradually and squeezing waste out at every
step.

Slide 7.11
Agility in Supply chain
• Is a practical approach to organizing logistics
capabilities around changing end- customer
demands
• where development, sourcing, logistics and
sales are designed to adapt quickly to
changes in demand or customer preference
• Agile strategy is concerned with assigning
capacity so that products can be made
rapidly to meet demand

Slide 7.22
Combining Lean and Agile
Three main approaches to combining lean
and Agile
Hybrid Strategies
Appropriate market condition
Pareto Analysis across a product range-80:20
Use lean methods for the volume lines and agile
methods for the slow movers
High levels of variety
Demand is heavy skewed toward a small
proportion of the product range
De-coupling Point
The aim is to lean up to the decoupling point and
agile beyond it, as in form postponement
Product design allows for this so the product
remain generic in the early stage of manufacturing
Separate volatile and base demand for a given
SKU
Meet the forecastable element of demand using
lean principles and use agile principles for the less
predictable demand
When base level of demand can be confidently
predicted from past experience

Total cost of ownership not just
price
➢It is the purchase price of an asset plus the
costs of operation.
▪ When choosing among alternatives in a
purchasing decision, buyers should look not just
at an item’s short-term price, which is its
purchase price, but also at its long-term price,
which is its total cost of ownership.
▪ The item with the lower total cost of ownership
will be the better value in the long run.
