Why Supply Management is Critical (1 of 5)

Several factors have worked together to push supply management activities into the focus of attention:

Increased levels of global sourcing

Financial impact of sourcing

Impact of sourced goods and services on other performance metrics, including quality and delivery performance

Global Sourcing

Firms do not compete only against global competitors, but against their competitors’ supply chains.

To keep up with global competition and tap into the abilities of world-class suppliers, many companies have put in place global sourcing systems.

Advances in information systems have served as a catalyst for global sourcing efforts.

Global sourcing applies to services and business processes, as well as manufactured goods.

Why Supply Management is Critical (4 of 5)

Financial Impact

Cost of goods sold – The purchased cost of goods from outside suppliers.

Merchandise inventory – A balance sheet item that shows the amount a company paid for the inventory it has on hand at a particular point in time.

Profit margin – The ratio of earnings to sales for a given time period.

Return on assets (ROA) – A measure of financial performance generally defined as Earnings/Total Assets

Example 7.1 – Target Corporation (1 of 3)

Table 7.3 Selected Financial Data for Target Corporation (all figures in $ millions)

Earnings and Expenses, 2010 Blank

Sales $65,786

Cost of goods sold (COGS) $45,725

Pretax earnings $4,629

Selected Balance Sheet Items (As of January 29, 2011) Blank

Merchandise inventory $7,596

Total assets $17,213

Example 7.1 – Target Corporation (2 of 3)

Financial Impact

Every dollar saved in purchasing lowers COGS by $1 and increases pretax profit by $1.

Profit leverage effect – A term used to describe the effect of $1 in cost savings increasing pretax profits by $1 and a $1 increase in sales increasing pretax profits only by $1 multiplied by the pretax profit margin.

Every dollar saved in purchasing lowers the merchandise inventory figure – and as a result, total assets – by $1.

Example 7.1 – Target Corporation (3 of 3)

3% purchasing reduction in COGS

Earnings and Expenses Current Reflecting Savings

Sales $65,786 $65,786

COGS $45,725 $44,353

Pretax earnings $4,629 $6,001

Selected Balance Sheet Items Blank Blank

Merchandise inventory $7,596 $7,368

Total assets $17,213 $16,985

Performance Impact

Cost is not the only consideration.

Purchased goods and services can have a major effect on other performance dimensions including quality and delivery performance.

Example 7.2 – Springfield Hospital (1 of 3)

Springfield Hospital has two dialysis machines, each with a special valve that is normally replaced every two weeks when the machines are idle. As a result, Springfield uses about 50 valves per year. The hospital has two alternative sources for the valves. The purchase price and quality for these two suppliers are as follows:

Blank Supplier A Supplier B

Price per valve $10 $2

% Good 99.8% 95%

Source: AcuteDialysisServicesInc

Example 7.2 – Springfield Hospital (2 of 3)

Effect of defective valve

Interruption in patient treatment

Rescheduling difficulties

Reduction in the effective capacity for dialysis

Possible medical emergencies

Estimated cost of a failed valve = $1,000 per incident

Example 7.2 – Springfield Hospital (3 of 3)

Sourcing 50 dialysis machine valves (Total Costs)

Yearly Costs Supplier A Supplier B

Valves 50 × $10 = $500 50 × $2 = $100

Failure costs 0.2% of all valves fail: 0.2% × 50 valves × $1,000 = $100 5% of all valves fail: 5% × 50 valves × $1,000 = $2,500

Total cost $600 $2,600

The Strategic Sourcing Process (1 of 16)

Strategic Sourcing

Identifying ways to improve long-term business performance by better understanding sourcing needs, developing long-term sourcing strategies, selecting suppliers, and managing the supply base.

Figure 7.1 The Strategic Sourcing Process

The Strategic Sourcing Process (2 of 16)

Step 1: Assess Opportunities

Spend Analysis – The application of quantitative techniques to purchasing data in an effort to better understand spending patterns and identify opportunities for improvement.

What categories of products or services make up the bulk of company spending?

How much are we spending with various suppliers?

What are our spending patterns like across different locations?

The Strategic Sourcing Process (3 of 16)

Step 2: Profile Internally and Externally

Two approaches to creating profiles:

Category profile – Understanding all aspects of a particular sourcing category that could ultimately have an impact on the sourcing strategy.

Industry Analysis – Profiling the major forces and trends that are impacting an industry, including pricing, competition, regulatory forces, substitution, technology changes, and supply/demand trends.

The Strategic Sourcing Process (4 of 16)

Step 3: Develop the Sourcing Strategy

The Make-or-Buy Decision - A high-level, often strategic, decision regarding which products or services will be provided internally and which will be provided by external supply chain partners.

Insourcing – The use of resources within the firm to provide products or services.

Outsourcing – The use of supply chain partners to provide products or services.

The Strategic Sourcing Process (5 of 16)

Table 7.7 Advantages and Disadvantages of Insourcing and Outsourcing

Table 7.8 Factors that Affect the Decision to Insource or Outsource

Blank Favors Insourcing Favors Outsourcing

Environmental uncertainty Low High

Competition in the supplier market Low High

Ability to monitor supplier’s performance Low High

Relationship of product/service to buying firm’s core competencies High Low

The Strategic Sourcing Process (7 of 16)

Step 3: Develop the Sourcing Strategy

Total cost analysis – A process by which a firm seeks to identify and quantify all of the major costs associated with various sourcing options.

Direct costs – Costs tied directly to the level of operations or supply chain activities.

Indirect costs – Costs that are not tied directly to the level of operations or supply chain activity.

The Strategic Sourcing Process (8 of 16)

Blank Insourcing Outsourcing

Direct Costs Direct material Direct labor Freight costs Variable overhead Price (from invoice) Freight costs

Indirect Costs Supervision Administrative support Supplies Maintenance costs Equipment depreciation Utilities Building lease Fixed overhead Purchasing Receiving Quality control

The Strategic Sourcing Process (9 of 16)

Step 3: Develop the Sourcing Strategy

Portfolio analysis – A structured approach used by decision makers to develop a sourcing strategy for a product or service, based on the value potential and the relative complexity or risk represented by a sourcing opportunity.

The Routine Quadrant – Readily available products or services representing a relatively small portion of a firm’s purchasing expenditures. Examples: office supplies, cleaning services

The Leverage Quadrant – Standardized and readily available products or services representing a significant portion of spend.

The Strategic Sourcing Process (10 of 16)

Step 3: Develop the Sourcing Strategy

The Bottleneck Quadrant – Products or services with unique or complex requirements that can be met only by a few potential suppliers - involve carrying extra inventory and contracting with multiple vendors to protect against interruptions

The Critical Quadrant – Products or service with unique or complex requirements coupled with a limited supply base which has a substantial level of expenditure – involves negotiating favorable deals and building partnerships with suppliers

The Strategic Sourcing Process (11 of 16)

Step 3: Develop the Sourcing Strategy

Single sourcing – The buying firm depends on a single company for all or nearly all of a particular item or service.

Multiple sourcing – The buying firm shares its business across multiple suppliers.

Cross sourcing – The buying firm uses a single supplier for one particular part or service and another supplier with the same capabilities for a different part or service.

Dual sourcing – The buying firm uses two suppliers for the same purchased product or service.

The Strategic Sourcing Process (12 of 16)

Step 4: Screen Suppliers and Create Selection Criteria

Qualitative criteria to evaluate suppliers include:

Process and design capabilities

Management capability

Financial condition and cost structure

Longer-term relationship potential

The Strategic Sourcing Process (13 of 16)

Step 5: Conduct Supplier Selection

Weighted-point evaluation system

Assign weights to performance dimensions.

Rate the performance of each supplier with regard to each dimension.

Calculate the total score.

Example 7.6 – Electra Company (1 of 5)

Electra Company is looking to award a new contract for 500,000 integrated circuit boards. The table below summarizes the expected performance of three possible suppliers with regard to price, quality, and delivery.

Table 7.12 Summary Data for Three Possible Suppliers

Performance Dimension Aardvark Electronics Beverly Hills Inc. Conan the Electrician

Price $4/unit $5/unit $2/unit

Quality 5% defects 1% defects 10% defects

Delivery Reliability 95% on-time 80% on-time 60% on-time

Example 7.6 – Electra Company (2 of 5)

Criteria Weights

WPrice = 0.3

WQuality = 0.4

WDelivery = 0.3

TOTAL = 1.0

Scoring Scheme

5 = excellent

4 = good

3 = average

2 = fair

1 = poor

Example 7.6 – Electra Company (3 of 5)

Table 7.14 Values for the Three Suppliers

Performance Dimension Aardvark Electronics Beverly Hills Inc. Conan the Electrician

Price 4 3 5

Quality 3 5 1

Delivery Reliability 4 2 1

Example 7.6 – Electra Company (4 of 5)

Total Scores for Alternative Suppliers

Aardvark should improve their quality.

Beverly Hills should improve their delivery and price.

Conan is out of the running as a potential supplier.

Example 7.6 – Electra Company (5 of 5)

Options for choosing between Beverly Hills and Aardvark

Award the contract to Aardvark, after a detailed negotiation in which it asks Aardvark to provide details on how it will improve its quality.

Award the contract to Beverly Hills, after a detailed negotiation in which it asks Beverly Hills to reduce its price and explain how it will improve delivery performance.

Award a dual-source contract, in which the volumes are split between two suppliers. The contract might state that future volumes will be assigned according to which supplier improves its performance more quickly.

The Strategic Sourcing Process (14 of 16)

Step 6: Negotiate and Implement Agreements

Competitive bidding – A request for bids from suppliers with whom a buyer is willing to do business.

Request for quotation – A formal request for the suppliers to prepare bids, based on the terms and conditions set by the buyer.

Description by market grade/industry standard

Description by brand

Description by specification

Description by performance characteristics

The Strategic Sourcing Process (15 of 16)

Step 6: Negotiate and Implement Agreements

Negotiating – A more costly, interactive approach to final supplier selection. This is used best when:

The item is a new or technically complex item with only vague specifications.

The purchase requires agreement about a wide range of performance factors

The buyer requires the supplier to participate in the development efforts.

The supplier cannot determine risks and costs without additional input from the buyer.

The Strategic Sourcing Process (16 of 16)

Step 6: Negotiate and Implement Agreements

Contracting – The process of creating a detailed purchasing contract to formalize the buyer-supplier relationship.

Fixed-price contract – Stated price does not change.

Cost-based contract – Price of the good or service is tied to the cost of some other key input(s) or other economic factors.
