Poojari Acknowledgement European Project SCHUMANN: Supply Chain Uncertainty Management Iberdrola,, Daimler-Chryler, Ford-Spain, Yamanouchi, LCP, Univ. Politect.. Valencia, Brunel Univ. UNILEVER Reearch: OSIRIS Project Outline Strategic and tactical model for the upply chain Combining trategic and tactical deciion Model decription Future uncertaintie and hedged deciion Beyond hedging: rik meaure and rik quantification Dicuion

2 Strategic and Tactical Model for the Supply Chain Strategic (Long-Term) Activitie Tactical (Medium-Term) Activitie Operational (Short-Term) Activitie Strategic and Tactical Model for the Supply Chain Deciion upport in the upply chain baed on optimum reource planning and cheduling Reource baed view of the Firm..(Shapiro..Wernerfelt..Mahoney Shapiro..Wernerfelt..Mahoney) ) reource acquiition, divetment..deployment There i a wide range of mathematical programming model in the literature for both, trategic and tactical deciion Combining Strategic and Tactical Deciion Importance of inter-temporal temporal integration of upply chain activitie a well a their functional and geographical integration i well known (Porter, 1985) Preferably, deciion are aigned jointly when they are trongly related (e.g.,capacity and inventory), or interact in a way that notably affect the overall performance Finding the appropriate balance involve identifying the combination of different activitie (e.g., capacity and inventory) that allow performance criteria to be met while optimiing a firm financial criteria (Bradley & Arntzen,99)

3 Combining Strategic and Tactical Deciion Capacity planning: typically concerned with deciion of location, retooling, ize, and acquiition or hut-down of capacity in order to optimie the profit over a planning horizon. Inventory planning: concerned with deciion of location, acquiition or rental of warehoue, and mainly with the holding level of WIP and FGI. Thee deciion are important conidering (1)uncertain upply or demand, (2)eaonal demand, or (3) promotional ale. Combining Strategic and Tactical Deciion The trade-off between capacity and inventory invetment implie that a greater level of one of thee aet can be employed to reduce the reliance upon the other The cot of capacity invetment increae relative to the cot of inventory.. Iue :return on aet (ROA) and economic value added (EVA) Capacity i expenive i a common managerial belief Seaonal Demand Pattern Demand pattern 25 2 Demand Qty Time period (month)
