Supply Chain Management A LOGISTICS PERSPECTIVE

2. Describe the two approaches to order management. How are they different? How are they related?

4. Compare and contrast the concepts of order-to-cash cycle time and order cycle time.

6. Customer service is often viewed as the primary interface between logistics and marketing. Discuss the nature of this interface and how it might be changing.

8. Explain the relationship between customer service levels and the costs associated with providing those service levels.

10. Effective management of customer service requires measurement. Discuss the nature of performance measurement in the customer service area.

12. Assume an organization’s current service level on order fill is as follows:

Current order fill 80%

Number of orders per year 5 000

Percentage of unfilled orders back-ordered 70%

Percentage of unfilled orders cancelled 30%

Backorder costs per order $150

Lost pretax profit per cancelled order $12 500

a. What is the lost cash flow to the seller at this 80 percent service level?

b. What would be the resulting increase in cash flow if the seller improved order fill to 92 percent?

c. If the seller invested $2 million to produce this increased service level, would the investment be justified financially?

Preface

Supply chain management and the closely related concept of logistics are necessary cornerstones of competitive strategy, increased market share, and shareholder value for most organizations. Now more than ever, students who are currently planning to pursue a career in business will benefit from a clear understanding of this field. Practicing man- agers will also find this text a beneficial and helpful resource because of its timeliness and the depth and breadth of the topics covered.

With this edition we have tried to cover, as comprehensively as possible, the changes in the way business is being done. In fact, the title of this edition—Supply Chain Management: A Logistics Perspective—reflects the ever-changing nature of this rapidly evolving field. The author team strives to offer you the most current, comprehensive thinking on supply chain management, combined with an authenticated, real-world logistics perspective. In keeping with the dramatic changes that have taken place in the global business environment and in the field of supply chain management, the organiza- tion of this edition again provides a logical framework for achieving a meaningful under- standing of the concepts and principles of supply chain management. Additionally, it is important to understand that a major feature of this text is that not only is the discipline of supply chain management viewed from a logistics perspective but also that logistics is positioned as a set of key processes and functions that are viewed as essential to strategic and operational success with the broader supply chain concept.

Part I provides a framework for your understanding of supply chain management and some of its important related components. Chapter 1 is devoted to a comprehensive introduction to supply chain management. Chapter 2 presents an overview of all of the important dimensions of logistics and explains the relationship of logistics to supply chain management. Finally, Chapter 3 explores global supply chains and their relevance to global trade strategy and success.

Strategic factors are the focus of Part II. Chapter 4 leads off with a discussion of supply chain relationships and the use of third-party logistics services. Chapter 5, a chapter devoted to performance measurement and financial analysis, will help you understand how to use both performance and financial metrics to gauge efficiency and effectiveness. And finally, Chapter 6 examines the role and importance of information systems in the effective management of supply chains.

Part III addresses the key process areas within supply chain fulfillment. Chapter 7 dis- cusses demand management, while Chapter 8 addresses the very closely connected topics of order management and customer service. Chapter 9 focuses on one of the most crucial assets on many companies’ balance sheets—inventory management—revealing the costs of inventory and the most effective means of managing inventory. Transportation and distribution can be viewed as the glue that holds supply chains together, and effective strategies and technologies in these areas are the subjects of Chapter 10 and Chapter 11.

With Part IV, you’ll be drawn into the world of supply chain planning, sourcing, and operations. Chapter 12 will give you the tools needed to analyze, design, and refine a supply chain network, while Chapter 13 focuses attention on key topics and issues relating to sourcing, procurement, supplier and vendor relationships, and the latest elec- tronic technologies to be used in these areas. Chapter 14 on operations and Chapter 15 on reverse flows present entirely new material created for this edition.

The final chapter, in Part V, explores the major macro trends that will impact the future of logistics and supply chain management, as well as strategies for staying competitive in the future. Among the major types of strategies discussed are differentia- tion, financing, technology, relationships, and globalization. Last, some thoughts are included on the need for organizations of all types to transform and change their supply chains as conditions would suggest.
