3 Introduction Supply Chain Operational Excellence is a management strategy that helps manufacturers optimize their performance in those areas that really matter, achieve preferred supplier status, and survive in extremely competitive markets. Implementing such programs is challenging but possible when companies use appropriate software solutions. This paper describes the basic tenets of Supply Chain Operational Excellence, establishes a model for selecting supporting software and demonstrates how ADEXA s Enterprise GPS meets these challenging issues. Operational Excellence Becomes The Strategy for Manufacturers Operational Excellence is fast becoming The Strategy for manufacturing companies. Today s customers are continuously demanding higher quality, better service and lower costs. And, globalization makes it easy to shift allegiance when suppliers do not satisfy their needs. Investors are likewise punishing companies that don t achieve consistent growth, increased earnings and higher return-on-assets. Just keeping up with the competition is no longer enough. Surviving in the new competitive environment is clearly a challenge. And economic malaise across the globe makes it even more difficult. During the 90 s, markets grew at strong rates and companies who maintained parity with competitors still achieved good profitability. But proactive strategies that increase market share are required for success in stagnant and declining markets. Operational Excellence is such a strategy and helps companies distinguish themselves, become preferred suppliers and expand market position. Copyright ARC Advisory Group ARCweb.com 3
4 Understanding Operational Excellence Operational Excellence is Consistently Doing the Right Things Well. While this may sound simple, adopting an Operational Excellence strategy can have significant and far-reaching implications. Operational Excellence is a management philosophy that demands introspection, action and a focus on continuous improvement. Charting and staying this course requires strength but the rewards can be enormous. Operational Excellence = Consistently Doing the Right Things Well Implementing this strategy in Supply Chain Management requires new solutions that focus on key business issues, continuously measure performance and drive the organization towards continuous improvement Defining what Operational Excellence means within a given organization is the first challenge. What are the right things to do? What do customers value from their suppliers? Cost? Quality? Service? All of the above? How will you know when you are doing them well? Companies that don t answer these questions waste precious time and resources achieving the wrong goals while losing market share to smarter competitors. Companies who answer these questions set their course properly and get the most from their efforts. Companies practicing Operational Excellence not only recognize what they need to do, but do it ahead of the competitive pack. They always know where they are and have the ability to rapidly plan and execute the best course of action to win the race to customer satisfaction. Companies practicing Operational Excellence are also reliable partners. They consistently demonstrate a commitment to delivering on promises. They rapidly communicate plans throughout the organization, keep all operations synchronized, monitor progress in real-time, and rapidly react to problems to ensure that their goals are always achieved. Finally, these companies recognize that Operational Excellence is a journey not a destination. Customers will continue to change the very definition of what it takes to have Operational Excellence. Plans will not always produce expected results and will have to be adjusted. Competitor actions will negate the impact of even the best laid plans. A program of continuous overall evaluation and improvement is therefore basic to Operational Excellence. 4 Copyright ARC Advisory Group ARCweb.com

As a new management philosophy, the impact can be significant and necessitate cultural, organizational and system changes. Extending this strategy across internal and external Supply Chains magnifies benefits but also introduces more obstacles to overcome.

Goals for Supply Chain Operational Excellence Supply Chains are complex systems of interdependent organizations and processes. Engineering, sales, manufacturing, procurement and logistics all play a key role in the creation and delivery of goods to customers. Each of these processes has its own challenges, goals and optimal operating strategies that drive local actions. Reconciling these often conflicting actions and creating a single high performance whole is the key challenge for supply chain Operational Excellence. Performance of individual processes can be measured by two characteristics. First, how good is average performance in terms of quality, cost, service, reliability, lead time, etc. Second, how responsive is the process with respect to changes in requirements and reacting to internal problems. Customers expect their preferred suppliers to provide good performance all the time and to accommodate their every whim, regardless of how late it may occur in the order cycle. Supply chain performance can also be measured by average performance and responsiveness to change, but on an end-to- Copyright ARC Advisory Group ARCweb.com 5
6 end basis. Since the supply chain is a system, the weakest and least responsive processes determine the performance of the entire supply chain. Supply chain performance can also be measured by how well individual processes are synchronized. This is reflected in how well inventories are managed. Excessive inventories add costs, lower overall responsiveness and are a key differentiator between market leaders and also rans. Operational Excellence in Supply Chain Management implies Operational Excellence within each of the individual processes and in the way the supply chain operates as a whole. Customers have many touchpoints with supply chains and expect high levels of quality, cost and service in all of their interactions. They likewise expect all supply chain processes to work together, with seamless information flow and smooth material handoffs. Excuses that another group is the cause of a late delivery lose credibility for the entire supply chain. Implementing Operational Excellence in Individual Processes IDENTIFY GOALS MEASURE IMPROVE EXECUTE REACT Individual supply chain processes are generally complex and require some form of control. This includes planning systems that determine what to do and execution systems that ensure these plans are achieved. Measurement of results is a key element of the control system and provides the basis for evaluating performance. PLAN All companies have control systems for their processes. Whether ad-hoc or formal, there are always normal ways to organize and accomplish specific operational tasks. Operational Excellence programs focus on continuously improving these processes to ensure that performance is consistent, reliable and achieves certain goals. Not only are daily tasks planned and executed, but past performance is analyzed and used to adapt strategies to attain ever higher levels of performance. A complete Operational Excellence program will also focus on accelerating reaction to anomalous events and developing trends to forestall potential customer dissatisfaction. While individual Operational Excellence programs are vital to establishing a reliable supply chain, these programs must be tempered by their impact on the supply chain s overall objectives. Managers focusing solely on paro- 6 Copyright ARC Advisory Group ARCweb.com

Leveraging Operational Excellence across the Supply Chain Operational Excellence for Supply Chains is focused on optimizing performance across all processes. Local measures of performance are made subservient to achieving the global Right Things to Do. Synchronization of activities among partners also becomes a key focus. Supply Side Processes Supply Chain Control Manufacturing Processes Demand Side Processes Like individual processes, Supply chains are also complex processes and demand their own, separate control systems to develop and execute optimal plans. Which plant should satisfy which order? What is the best production sequence considering manufacturing and distribution requirements? Should we increase inventories to enable longer production runs? These are all questions that require a global perspective of supply chain objectives. Depending upon supply chain complexity, this can result in a hierarchy of Operational Excellence processes with each new level addressing increasingly global issues across broader processes and process groups. Successful execution of supply chain plans depends upon the ability of individual processes to manage their own performance and respond to changing signals. Processes must be under control and reliable before higher level control systems can be effectively implemented. Monitoring of performance at each process is a key means of evaluating readiness for higher level control. Since global objectives are often different from parochial concerns, individual operations may be wasting time and resources improving processes that are already adequate. Continuous improvement of Supply Chain performance requires identification and improvement of bottleneck processes. The weakest and least responsive operations then gain the attention of all Copyright ARC Advisory Group ARCweb.com 7
8 supply chain partners and coordinated efforts are made to raise the offending performance. The need for alignment and synchronization adds to the challenge of supply chain Operational Excellence. Collaboration provides the primary means to improve process alignment and synchronization by stiffening the system s inventory and lead time shock absorbers. Collaboration can occur at multiple levels and in a myriad of ways. Direct connection between execution systems can provide rapid detection and response for anomalous occurrences. This helps to reinstate synchronization after problems have occurred and improves average supply chain performance. Sharing of plans provides similar benefits and helps to align processes before problems occur. Collaboration in the form of joint planning raises this to the strategic level and keeps the entire supply chain aligned and synchronized with the global objectives. Mapping Operational Excellence Requirements to Solutions High performance software solutions are vital to implementing Supply Chain Operational Excellence. Supply chains are simply too complex and too dynamic to be managed through spreadsheets, faxes, telephone calls and systems. Companies that recognize this will establish high velocity, agile supply chain systems that please customers and achieve the coveted competitive advantage. Solutions are required to manage individual operations and the entire supply chain. Solutions for individual operations must support reliable, responsive management of local processes and visibility for higher level systems. Supply chain systems must support identification of global requirements and interoperability with individual operations for execution, evaluation and improvement. Solutions for Process Operational Excellence Conventional supply chain management solutions can provide support for most individual Operational Excellence programs across the full spectrum of Plan, Execute, Measure, Improve and React. 8 Copyright ARC Advisory Group ARCweb.com

In many Planning cases, these tools are based Open, internet access to upon sophisticated algorithms performance measures that can drive the process towards maximum efficiency, Integration with planning and execution systems Automatic adaptation maximum throughput, and minimum lead time. While this can be important in many cases, and should always be Real-time, rapid response considered, the key concern for Operational Excellence is having tools that support improved reliability and responsiveness. These key capabilities can be leveraged into supply chain advantage that will often outweigh the benefits of incremental improvements in local operations. Focus Solutions Selection Criteria Plan Execute & Measure Improve Production Planning/Scheduling Distribution Planning Transportation Planning Manufacturing Execution Warehouse Management Transportation Execution Process Analytics Process Modeling Process Simulation React Process Event Management Integration with planning and execution systems Process Operational Excellence Solution Map Selecting planning solutions that are adaptable to existing processes can also be important to achieving Operational Excellence. Many solutions require that a company s basic business processes be modified to adapt to the solution. While this can be positive and bootstrap a company into best practices this approach can also increase implementation time and jeopardize loss of a company s unique competitive advantage when existing processes are already superior. Manufacturing execution, warehouse management and transportation management solutions can provide the necessary tools to ensure good local execution of plans and support the real time measurements required for supply chain Operational Excellence. Seamless integration of these systems with planning is a top priority for individual Operational Excellence. Effective information flow is vital for better responsiveness and for having the visibility that is vital for continuous improvement. Open, internet-based access to real time data is also a key criteria in selecting these tools as this enables supply chain Operational Excellence measurement and react processes. While there are many solutions that can be used to evaluate and improve performance of process planning and operation, they are often not used. Copyright ARC Advisory Group ARCweb.com 9
10 Simply getting the most out of existing systems is the low hanging fruit for Operational Excellence and Process Analytics, Process Modeling and Process Simulation solutions exist for most processes. But using Global KPI Perspective Integrated with Measurement Systems these tools can be cumbersome and having these tools integrated with existing planning and execution systems is vital to effectively Reliable and Responsive Performance using them. Processes and business Adaptability rules change on a frequent basis and can rapidly degrade performance of unattended control Interoperability with disparate systems systems. Solutions that Open, internet access to data support automatic adaptation should be considered in all Operational Focus on KPIs Excellence programs.

Despite this nascent state, these solutions should be considered a vital component of an Operational Excellence solution toolbox. The benefits of fast reaction to changes and process problems are large and affect performance both in terms of average performance and responsiveness. Solutions for Supply Chain Operational Excellence Supply chain complexity continues to increase and demands adaptable, comprehensive solutions that can deal with the challenging issues of scalability and connectivity. Globalization likewise demands that supply chain Operational Excellence solutions support internet communication and interoperability with a variety of support systems in the front and back office. 10 Copyright ARC Advisory Group ARCweb.com
11 Identifying The Right Things to Do is one of the primary tenets of Supply Chain Operational Excellence. And, the Right Things will change as competitor s actions and reactions shift the competitive landscape. Strategic planning tools that help enterprises understand where they are and where they must be relative to industry best practices are crucial. Unfortunately, there are few solutions today that actually address these issues. Ones that are seamlessly integrated with performance monitoring systems, which is key to continuous improvement, are even less common, despite their obvious benefits. Fortunately good solutions do exist for operational planning at the supply chain level across many industries. Like the solutions for individual processes, many are based upon advanced optimization algorithms that can rapidly adjust strategies to synchronize supply and demand streams. However, the importance of optimality versus speed of response will depend upon the specific industry dynamics. Adaptability of these solutions to existing processes, that provide competitive advantage, should be a primary selection criteria. Execution at the supply chain level naturally focuses on management of customer orders and purchase orders issued to suppliers. Perfect Order Fulfillment is a key measure of supply chain performance and is one of the ultimate goals for supply chain Operational Excellence. This metric can also be applied to both the outgoing and incoming process streams. While lower level control systems may execute the actual material movements, Order and Supply Management systems decide on who should fulfill requests, monitor compliance, react to problems and support real-time visibility across the complete supply chain. Given the global nature of many supply chains, interoperability with many disparate systems and secure internet-based communication are key features to consider in such solutions. Business analytics with On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) is gaining considerable attention in supply chain management circles. This is a vital tool for Supply Chain Operational Excellence since it supports themeasure functionality necessary to manage daily events and improve performance. The key concern in selecting a solution for a Supply Chain Operational Excellence program is that information is collected on Key performance Indicators (KPIs) that really matter to customers. Such information enables all partners to determine where they are and what they need to do to suc- Copyright ARC Advisory Group ARCweb.com 11
12 ceed. Ideally this information is collected and evaluated on a real time basis to enable early identification of developing trends. Being complex systems, supply chains offer many opportunities for continuous improvement. Simulation can be used to evaluate different supply alternatives as well as supply chain robustness to significant changes such as supply disruptions, etc. Optimization based network design tools can be used to identify the best strategic supply channels, facility locations, and distribution networks. In both cases, a key concern for Supply Chain Operational Excellence is that these tools are integrated with the real time performance measuring system. Simulation and optimization results are only as good as the data they base decisions upon and this can change rapidly. Supply chain event management is another solution that is becoming a basic element of supply chain management. It is especially important for Operational Excellence programs since it supports both adaptive and reactive strategies. Supply chain event records can provide a good measure of supply chain performance and should be integrated with Business Analytics/OLAP solutions to be most effective. This enables proper filtering of events to determine what is and is not significant which is basic to any improvement strategy. Collaboration is another key tenet of effective Supply Chain Operational Excellence. Collaboration provides the means to align and synchronize continuous operations and supports improvement of overall supply chain performance. Collaboration should be considered as a tool for improvement across all process interfaces. For example, product design sets many of the parameters that will determine supply chain performance in manufacturing and delivering the final products. Collaborating across functions at the design stage ensures operational tradeoffs are properly considered and Operational Excellence is facilitated. Collaboration on forecasts of supply and demand will also synchronize operations that affect inventory levels. Collaborative solutions for supply chain Operational Excellence will recognize the need for collaboration across many interfaces, exploit the internet for seamless flow of information, and support collaboration at the execution, planning and strategic planning levels. 12 Copyright ARC Advisory Group ARCweb.com

Finally, Factory Planning and Scheduling provides constraint-based planning for local operations that ensures predictable, efficient factory performance and high asset utilization. Flawless execution is the other side of the coin in achieving the goals of Operational Excellence and Enterprise GPS provides support in this arena as well. The Order Fulfillment solution helps companies improve order execution in complex environments that span multiple groups, departments, plants, and companies. Order Lifecycle Management extends this capability by providing customers with up-to-the-minute status information on their orders. Supplier Management provides similar functionality for procurement in multi-tier supply chains. Collaborative Solutions Synchronize Actions Collaboration is basic to Operational Excellence and to Enterprise GPS. Both recognize the role of collaboration in maintaining supply chain alignment and synchronization. Enterprise GPS addresses this with solutions for Collaborative Demand Planning, Collaborative Supply Planning and Collaborative Product Lifecycle Management. In each case the goal is to foster enhanced visibility and cooperation among supply chain partners. But rather than just providing passive visibility, that enables partners to know when they are already out of synch, these tools support a true collaborative planning environment where partners can share views on current and future situations and jointly develop plans that can guarantee future success. Event Management that Maintains the Course With continuous, real-time analysis of performance against plan, ADEXA s Enterprise GPS Event Management maintains a company s focus on Operational Excellence. Variances are rapidly detected and alerts are initiated to ensure that significant deviations are addressed immediately. Deviations can include unexpected changes and variances in current performance, as well as trends that indicate a problem may be developing. Copyright ARC Advisory Group ARCweb.com 15
16 Conclusion Manufacturers are facing increasingly challenging markets today. Survival demands that they consider new business models and operational strategies that will distinguish them from the crowd. They have to become preferred suppliers and establish strategic partnerships with their customers to preserve and expand their market positions. Manufacturers that achieve preferred status recognize what is really important to their customers and focus on consistently doing these things better than their competitors. They reduce their costs while simultaneously improving their performance by eliminating activities that bring no value to their customers. And recognizing that preferred relationships can be fickle, they implement continuous improvement programs to keep them ahead of their competitors. Operational Excellence supports these goals and should be considered by all manufacturers. But implementing Operational Excellence can be challenging for even the most advanced organizations. Solutions, like ADEXA s Enterprise GPS, will help organizations make this transition and achieve the coveted competitive advantage. 16 Copyright ARC Advisory Group ARCweb.com
