6 The Global Supply Chain Survey Countries USA Europe Tigers Japan = 293 Sector The Survey focused on manufacturing companies Industries To provide comparability, four industries were selected Chemicals/ Electrics/Electronics/ Consumer / Pharmaceuticals Communication Equipment packaged packaged goods goods parts parts 26% 29% 27% 18% = 100% Companies Data collection Internet, Fax, Telephone, Mailing Results Representative response rate from selected target group (~30 %) -Seite 6-

8 Focus of Supply Chain Management 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% USA Today Europe Today Japan Today Tigers Today in future (expected in 5 years) local national regional global Complex procurement-, production- and distributions systems require global Supply Chain Management throughout all countries -Seite 8-

9 Integrated Information- and Communication System Strategic Analyses Supply APS ERP Planning and Decision Support Transaction Management Demand Functionalities of both systems present a distinctive part of a SCM solution EDI and Internet enable communication Network- and database technologies are decisive components of the final solution The integration of APS systems offers simulation opportunities, extended planningand analysis capacities as well as optimization functions -Seite 9-

10 SCM: The Bull-whip-effect actual apparent Necessary capacity 150% 100% 50% Time Material shortage Distorted demand Excessive ordering Increase of reserve inventory Unreliable delivery Causes of the bull-whip-effect: Independent updating of demand forecasts Clustering of demands Price fluctuations Quota orders and bottleneck risks Incentive structures The independent planning in each phase increases market fluctuations, the result is a high inventory within the Supply Chain -Seite 10-

14 Potentials of the Supply Chain 143 Billion Euro Revenue 9 Billion Euro Logistics Costs Suppliers OEMs Retail Network management Distribution management Start-up management Order management Aftersales management In the OEM sector of the German automotive industry there is a variable costs volume of more than 9 Billion Euro logistics costs * Case study: German automotive industry -Seite 14-

15 Contents Present Situation, Targets and Potentials in the Supply Chain Global Supply Chain Management in the Industry Network Management Order Management at Mass Customization Global Aftersales Systems Conclusion -Seite 15-

16 Global Procurement- and Production Network Europe Plants 1st tier suppliers 2nd tier suppliers Example network: 14 plants (assembly and production) 1,800 direct suppliers -Seite 16-

17 Parameters to Be Influenced in Logistics Networks source relation node relation destination parameter x x x x x x x x x x x x x Throughput time Inventory costs Handling costs Transport costs Necessary Investment main focus Warehouse of network management Consolidation point Cross-docking point Relation Supplier plant Support for long term and strategic decisions Assembly plant Time to change or relocate Decision for single Supply Chains must be made in the context of the entire network Optimal structures can be gained through pro-active network management -Seite 17-

18 Tool: Supply Network Navigator Navigation in pilot tool: Geographical focus Supply Network Navigator Map Navigator Map Navigator Standard Standard Supply Supply Chain Chain Navigator Navigator Detailed analyses possible Structure Element Navigator Structure Element Navigator Supplier Navigator Supplier Navigator Supply chain focus Parts Parts Navigator Navigator Simulation Simulation Navigator Navigator Tool SNN enables static simulations for optimization -Seite 18-

19 Optimization in Global Networks Case Study 1. Potentials due to optimized combination of parts and standard supply chain Supply Costs 1998 Example: Fiber glass module, current supplier location Australia Volume: 918 m³ per year -79 % Australia Europe Supplier location 2. Potentials due to the optimization of the network processes - for instance, through the creation of a new Supply Chain or the change between standard Supply Chains AUS AUS 70% 6 days 30% 30 days air 2,5d sea 23,5 road 0,5d road 3,5d 2,5d 2,5d road 0,5d road 0,5d Plant 3. Integration of supply- and customer networks - for instance, two South America suppliers deliver 40% of the volume -Seite 19-

20 Potentials For the first time, the complexity of the global manufacturing- and logistics network is visible Amount of costs that can be influenced within the networks of suppliers and customers: 110 Mio. DM per year Potential for optimizing: about 30 % of these costs Shortening of delivery time for key components from 20 to 8 working days (intercontinental) Development of a specific data processing tool for the global network management Creation of an organizational unity including a cross-functional responsibility for the manufacturing- and logistics network Case Study -Seite 20-

22 Range of Order Management Customer Dealer Sales Production Puchasing Supplier Requirements planning Long-range planning Production planning Master planning Ordering Sales planning Planning of parts Parts approvals Scheduling Demand planning Daily buckets Delivery forecast Quota fullfilment Quota planning Sequencing Call-off Ordering system Order management - Order receipt - Weekly buckets - Transfer to manufacturing The optimization of order management requires the integration of the entire Supply Chain -Seite 22-

23 Complexity of Mass Customization Mass production Lead time Model variants Production of 250-3,000 cars/day/plant Body shop h 8-4,000 Several models are built in different plants Paint shop 8-35 h ,000 Assembly h Customization 80% of all cars are customer specified Each model can be painted in 25 standard colors and 300 customer specified colors Hundreds of special options and a high number of combinations Plant A Module production Plant B Body shop Paint shop Assemby Plant C Engine assembly Body Shop Paint shop Assembly Plant D Module production Plant E Paint shop Assembly Plant F Assembly Customer specified mass production and the historic evolution of production structures are the main forces for complexity -Seite 23-

24 Starting Point Conventional Ordering Case Study 40 % 35% on time 35 % 30 % Percentage of Deliveries 25 % 20 % 18% early 47% late 15 % 10 % 5 % 0 > >4 Delivered versus promised (weeks) Result of causes analysis: Considerable deficits in the field of order management -Seite 24-

25 Main Deficits at Order Management Case Study Dealer, sales and manufacturing optimize themselves independently from each other according to different criteria Customer requirements Profits Capacity utilization Lacking visibility of information on demand and capacity beyond functional borders Demand Lacking demand information Customer Dealer Sales Manufacturing Procurement Supplier Lacking capacity information Capacity Especially in case of high variant variety the order management is not able to meet the requirements -Seite 25-

27 Plant Complexity Case Study Body shop Paint shop Assembly Model A Buffer Model A, B,C, D Buffer Model A Model B, C, D Model B Model C A, B, C, D Model D (from a different plant) Model C Model specific lines Line split up Line merging Parallel lines Rework Drop back Parallel lines Take out / put in Different cycle times -Seite 27-

28 Paint shop: Lead Times Case Study Probability Distribution Function 100 % 80 % 60 % 40 % 20 % Lead Time [h] -Seite 28-

29 Potentials Visibility of capacities and demand volume Delivery shortening and increase of delivery reliability Binding fixing of manufacturing dates when orders are received Optimized change- and failure management More precise forecasting through simulation and increased information basis Optimized supplier integration Reduction of inventory costs Optimized loading rate Sensational improvements in respect of costumer service, flexibility and costs -Seite 29-
