Supply Chain Chapter 8 15
Supply Chain Problems Adding value along the chain is essential for competitiveness, however, problems exist especially in complex or long chains and in cases where many business partners are involved. These problems are due to uncertainties and the need to coordinate several activities, internal units, and business partners. Demand forecasts are a major source of uncertainties Competition Prices Weather conditions Technological development Customer confidence Uncertainties exist in delivery times Machine failures Road conditions Shipments Quality problems may also create production delays Chapter 8 16
Supply Chain Problems (Continued) The bullwhip effect refers to erratic shifts in orders up and down the supply chain because of poor demand forecasting, price fluctuation, order batching, and rationing within the chain. Even slight demand uncertainties and variability become magnified if each distinct entity, on the chain, makes ordering and inventory decisions with respect to its own interest above those of the chain. Distorted information can lead to tremendous inefficiencies, excessive inventories, poor customer service, lost revenues, ineffective shipments, and missed production schedules. A common way to solve the bullwhip problem is by sharing information along the supply chain through EDI, extranets, and groupware technologies. For example employing a vendor-managed inventory (VMI) strategy, the vendor monitors inventory levels and when it falls below the threshold for each product this automatically triggers an immediate shipment. Chapter 8 17
Supply Chain Solutions Information sharing among supply chain partners (c-commerce) sometimes referred to as the collaboration supply chain is one method to overcome problems in the flow. Others are: Optimal Inventory Levels Supply Chain Coordination and Collaboration Supply Chain Teams Performance Measurement and Metrics Various IT-Assisted Solutions Wireless technology Optimal shipping plans Strategic partnerships with suppliers Just-in-time Chapter 8 18

ERP Lease or Buy? Self-develop an integrated system, either linking together existing functional packages or by programming a new custom-built system. Purchase commercially available product (often quicker &/or less expensive). Leading vendor is SAP. Oracle & Computer Associates also make similar products. Lease from application service providers (ASP) to get the best modules of different vendors. Lease will typically be least expensive option making it more affordable by even small firms.
