10 Warehousing Tactics & Opportunities Potential Savings Targets 15% - 20% Headcount Savings 20% - 35% Space Utilization Improvements 10% - 15% Operating Cost Reductions Putaway Receiving Replenishment Productivity Tracking Order Tracking and Picking Inventory Lot Control Quality Tactics & Best Practices Smallest Space Shortest Path /Shortest time Reduced product touches Wave Picking & Forward Pick Separate Partial-Pick Areas Slotting by Volume & Velocity Material Handling Solutions Adequate Staging Space Flow-Thru or U-Flow facility Dedicated Receiving & Shipping Doors Shift Segregated Activities Closed Loop Inventory Control 19 Distribution Network Tactics & Opportunities Goals of the Distribution Network Analysis Job 1 is to maintain existing customer service levels, and if possible and feasible, improve them Identify and remove existing supply chain stress points Enhance profitability through reduced operating expenses Facilitate Planned Growth and Expansion Areas of Consideration Number of facilities necessary to support current and future volumes Location, mission and service area for each facility Inventory stocking policies and requirements for each facility Estimated space requirements to support facility mission Total logistics cost impacts associated with the new network Transportation (inbound and outbound) Direct and indirect distribution center operating costs Capital investment Relocation / severance costs Impacts on total delivery cycle time (inbound and outbound) associated with the new network Effect of volumes (e.g. forecasted growth, industry changes, strategic partnerships and new acquisitions) on supply chain performance 20
11 Inventory Tactics & Opportunities Profitability If inventories are too low, customer service suffers and revenues decline It is not unusual for a company to have both too much and too little inventory. This occurs when inventory is invested in the wrong items 0 Inventory Impact on Profitability Inventory The width of the profitable region varies by industry. Manufacturers tend to be much less sensitive. When inventories are too high, excess carrying charges are incurred. Also, inventories tie up working capital which could be more profitably used elsewhere, and are exposed to shrinkage Too little inventory can starve revenues, too much leads to costs which poison profits Operating Cost Reduction Terminating leases for unnecessary storage facilities Elimination of operating costs for unnecessary storage facilities Improved receiving and material handling efficiencies Inventory Reduction Inventory right-sizing often yields 10-40% reduction Inventory consolidation reduces safety stock, by the square root of n rule Disposition of slow-moving and obsolete inventory Procurement Cost Reduction Typical savings range from 3-10% of spend Improved volume leverage and fact-based negotiation Value engineering; product rationalization Fixed Asset Reduction Closing and disposition of unnecessary storage facilities 21 Price Realization Tactics & Opportunities Overall Objective Capture money left on the table through price leaks or under-optimized prices Move Distributors toward a value based pricing approach Approach Data driven approach to identify pricing outliers from historical pricing data Utilize value based pricing strategy to identify the best price for each transaction Pricing Architecture for the Best Price On Every Transaction *Fundamental Price Drivers Product Price Sensitivity Customer Price Sensitivity Market Price Sensitivity Customer Sensitivity Product Sensitivity Secondary Price Drivers Order Size *Implementation of fundamental price drivers are typically Competitive Situation worth 2%-4% in margin lift. That is 2-4 million for every Geographical Location 100 million in affected revenue. Etc 22
12 6 Sourcing/Procurement Tactics & Opportunities Price Most procurement professionals target price. There are numerous leverage points to enhance the negotiation of the final transaction price. Administrative & Process costs Waste must be removed from all aspects of the supply chain by focusing on administrative activities and business processes. Supplier cost structure Volume leverage Material/service bundling Rebate management Performance, incentive structure Gain sharing Guaranteed reductions Total Cost of Ownership Consolidated invoicing eprocurement Purchase order processing Receiving Stockless inventory Integrated material/service planning Performance reporting Payables Quality control Usage costs The way in which materials and services are used represents one of the largest potential sources to reduce the total cost of ownership. Product design Product specifications Standardization Extended life products Functional equivalents End product cost Service disaggregation Customer end product variation Transportation Scrap/recycling Mix shifting Elimination 23 Size of The Prize Typical Distribution Spend Transportation: 10% - 25% of Sales Typical Savings Potential (Based on results achieved with actual Distribution based clients) 5% - 10% Freight expense reduction Network Costs: 2% - 5% of Sales 3% - 5% Warehousing expense reduction 10% - 15% Transportation expense reduction Inventory Carrying Costs: 1% - 20% of Sales 15% - 20% Working capital reduction In a 800M Company, logistics savings represent 6M - 50M to the bottom line, or points in profit improvement! Inventory Reduction Operations Improvements, Reduced Infrastructure Transportation Savings 24
