activities, starting with raw materials
and ending with a satisfied customer
▶ Includes suppliers, manufacturers
and/or service providers, distributors,
wholesalers, retailers, and final
customers

Copyright © 2017 Pearson Education, Ltd. 11 - 11

LOW COST RESPONSE DIFFERENTIATION
STRATEGY STRATEGY STRATEGY
Primary supplier • Cost • Capacity • Product development skills
selection criteria • Speed • Willing to share information
• Flexibility • Jointly and rapidly develop
products
Supply chain • Minimize • Use buffer stocks • Minimize inventory to avoid
inventory inventory to hold to ensure speedy product obsolescence
down costs supply
Distribution • Inexpensive • Fast transportation • Gather and communicate
network transportation • Provide premium market research data
• Sell through customer service • Knowledgeable sales staff
discount
distributors/
retailers

Product design • Maximize • Low setup time • Modular design to aid product
characteristics performance • Rapid production differentiation
• Minimize cost ramp-up

Copyright © 2017 Pearson Education, Ltd. 11 - 15

 Sourcing Issues
▶ Make-or-buy decisions
▶ Choosing between obtaining products and
services externally as opposed to producing
them internally
▶ Outsourcing
▶ Transfer traditional internal activities and
resources to outside vendors
▶ Efficiency in specialization
▶ Focus on core competencies

Copyright © 2017 Pearson Education, Ltd. 11 - 16

 Six Sourcing Strategies
▶ Many suppliers
▶ Few suppliers
▶ Vertical integration
▶ Joint ventures
▶ Keiretsu networks
▶ Virtual companies

Copyright © 2017 Pearson Education, Ltd. 11 - 17

 Many Suppliers
▶ Commonly used for commodity
products
▶ Purchasing is typically based on price
▶ Suppliers compete with one another
▶ Supplier is responsible for technology,
expertise, forecasting, cost, quality,
and delivery

Copyright © 2017 Pearson Education, Ltd. 11 - 18

 Few Suppliers
▶ Buyer forms longer term relationships with
fewer suppliers
▶ Create value through economies of scale
and learning curve improvements
▶ Suppliers more willing to participate in JIT
programs and contribute design and
technological expertise
▶ Cost of changing suppliers is huge
▶ Trade secrets and other alliances may be
at risk
Copyright © 2017 Pearson Education, Ltd. 11 - 19

Copyright © 2017 Pearson Education, Ltd. 11 - 20

 Vertical Integration
▶ Developing the ability to produce goods or
services previously purchased
▶ Integration may be forward, towards the
customer, or backward, towards suppliers
▶ Can improve cost, quality, delivery, and
inventory but requires capital, managerial
skills, and demand
▶ Risky in industries with rapid technological
change

Copyright © 2017 Pearson Education, Ltd. 11 - 21

 Joint Ventures
▶ Formal collaboration
▶ Enhance skills
▶ Secure supply
▶ Reduce costs
▶ The challenge is to cooperation without
diluting brand or conceding competitive
advantage

Copyright © 2017 Pearson Education, Ltd. 11 - 22

 Keiretsu Networks
▶ A middle ground between few suppliers and
vertical integration
▶ Supplier becomes part of the company coalition
▶ Often provide financial support for suppliers
through ownership or loans
▶ Members expect long-term relationships and
provide technical expertise and stable deliveries
▶ May extend through several levels of the supply
chain

Copyright © 2017 Pearson Education, Ltd. 11 - 23

 Virtual Companies
▶ Rely on a variety of supplier relationships
to provide services on demand
▶ Fluid organizational boundaries that allow
the creation of unique enterprises to meet
changing market demands
▶ Relationships may be short- or long-term
▶ Exceptionally lean performance, low
capital investment, flexibility, and speed

Copyright © 2017 Pearson Education, Ltd. 11 - 24

 Supply Chain Risk
▶ More reliance on supply chains means
more risk
▶ Fewer suppliers increase dependence
▶ Compounded by globalization and
logistical complexity
▶ Vendor reliability and
quality risks
▶ Political and
currency risks
Copyright © 2017 Pearson Education, Ltd. 11 - 25
 Risk and Mitigation Tactics
▶ Research and assess possible risks
▶ Innovative planning
▶ Reduce potential disruptions
▶ Prepare responses for negative events
▶ Flexible, secure supply chains
▶ Diversified supplier base

Copyright © 2017 Pearson Education, Ltd. 11 - 26

 Risk and Mitigation Tactics
TABLE 11.3 Supply Chain Risks and Tactics
RISK RISK REDUCTION TACTICS EXAMPLE
Supplier Use multiple suppliers; McDonald's planned its supply
failure to effective contracts with chain 6 years before its opening
deliver penalties; subcontractors on in Russia. Every plant—bakery,
retainer; pre-planning meat, chicken, fish, and lettuce
—is closely monitored to ensure
strong links.
Supplier Careful supplier selection, Darden Restaurants has
quality training, certification, and placed extensive controls,
failures monitoring including third-party audits, on
supplier processes and logistics
to ensure constant monitoring
and reduction of risk.

Copyright © 2017 Pearson Education, Ltd. 11 - 27

 Risk and Mitigation Tactics
TABLE 11.3 Supply Chain Risks and Tactics
RISK RISK REDUCTION TACTICS EXAMPLE
Outsourcing Take over production; provide Tyson took over chicken farm
or perform the service production in China to mitigate
yourself product quality and safety
concerns related to using
independent farmers

Logistics Multiple/redundant Walmart, with its own trucking

delays or transportation modes fleet and numerous distribution
damage and warehouses; secure centers located throughout the
packaging; effective contracts U.S., finds alternative origins
with penalties and delivery routes bypassing
problem areas.

Copyright © 2017 Pearson Education, Ltd. 11 - 28

 Risk and Mitigation Tactics
TABLE 11.3 Supply Chain Risks and Tactics
RISK RISK REDUCTION TACTICS EXAMPLE
Distribution Careful selection, monitoring, Toyota trains its dealers around
and effective contracts with the world, invoking principles of
penalties the Toyota Production System to
help dealers improve customer
service, used-car logistics, and
body and paint operations.
Information Redundant databases; secure Boeing utilizes a state-of-the-
loss or IT systems; training of supply art international communication
distortion chain partners on the proper system that transmits
interpretations and uses of engineering, scheduling, and
information logistics data to Boeing facilities
and suppliers worldwide.

 Risk and Mitigation Tactics
TABLE 11.3 Supply Chain Risks and Tactics
RISK RISK REDUCTION TACTICS EXAMPLE
Political Political risk insurance; cross- Hard Rock Café reduces
country diversification; political risk by franchising and
franchising and licensing licensing, rather than owning,
when the political and cultural
barriers seem significant.

Economic Hedging to combat exchange Honda and Nissan are

rate risk; purchasing contracts moving more manufacturing
that address price fluctuations out of Japan as the exchange
rate for the yen makes
Japanese-made autos more
expensive.

Copyright © 2017 Pearson Education, Ltd. 11 - 30

 Risk and Mitigation Tactics
TABLE 11.3 Supply Chain Risks and Tactics
RISK RISK REDUCTION TACTICS EXAMPLE
Natural Insurance; alternate sourcing; Toyota, after its experience
catastrophes cross-country diversification with fires, earthquakes, and
tsunamis, now attempts to
have at least two suppliers,
each in a different
geographical region, for each
component.
Theft, Insurance; patent protection; Domestic Port Radiation
vandalism, security measures including Initiative: The U.S.
and terrorism RFID and GPS; diversification government has set up
radiation portal monitors that
scan nearly all imported
containers for radiation.

 Security and JIT
▶ Shipments get misrouted, stolen,
damaged, or excessively delayed
▶ Technological innovations are improving
security and inventory management
▶ Location, motion sensors, broken seals,
temperature
▶ Tracking can help expedite shipments

Copyright © 2017 Pearson Education, Ltd. 11 - 32

 Managing the Integrated
Supply Chain
▶ Issues
▶ Local optimization can magnify
fluctuations
▶ Incentives push merchandise into the
supply chain for sales that have not
occurred
▶ Large lots reduce shipping and production
costs but increase inventory holding and
do not reflect actual sales

 Managing the Integrated
Supply Chain
▶ Opportunities
▶ Postponement withholds modification as
long as possible

▶ Combines shipping methods
▶ Common, especially in international
shipments
▶ Aided by standardized containers

Copyright © 2017 Pearson Education, Ltd. 11 - 46

Cost and Speed of Shipments
▶ Faster shipping is generally more
expensive than slower shipping
▶ Faster methods tend to involve
smaller shipment sizes while slower
methods involve very large shipment
sizes

Copyright © 2017 Pearson Education, Ltd. 11 - 47

 Warehousing
▶ May be expensive, but alternatives may
be more so
▶ Fundamental purpose is to store goods
