General Premises
  • The supply chain is end-to-end, resulting in the satisfaction of a targeted business customer (B2B) or consumer group with a specified market segment (B2C)
  • Each business firm must define its own end-to-end processing
    • The supply chain must be supported by a business network that has been technologically enhanced
    • There is no future without e-Commerce, as all companies are becoming technology firms
3
Supply Chain Management and e-Business
Introduction
  • Some definitions will help
    • Supply Chain – the core business processes in an organization that create and deliver a product or service, from concept through development and manufacturing or conversion, and into a market for consumption
    • Supply Chain Management – the methods, systems and leadership that continuously improve an organization’s integrated processes for product and service design, purchasing, inventory management, logistics, distribution and customer satisfaction
    • Supply Chain Optimization (SCO) – the ability to apply best practices with leading technology support across an end-to-end network with maximum effectiveness as measured by all constituents of the network, particularly the customer or final consumer

Supply Chain Management and e-Business
Introduction (cont’d)
  • More definitions
    • Advanced Supply Chain Management (ASCM) – the creation and sustenance of a network or organizations dedicated to building and consistently improving a value chain constellation, focused on a particular industry, market segments, and consumer groups
    • Upstream – the processes which occur before manufacturing or production into a deliverable product or service, typically processes dedicated to getting raw materials from suppliers
    • Downstream – the processes which occur after manufacturing or production, typically those processes dedicated to getting goods and services to customers and consumers
5
In the Typical Supply Chain…
  • Where are the hidden values?
    • Purchased price of supplies? Buying/selling expense? Better total values?
    • Forecasting?  Inventory?  R/M, WIP, F/G?
    • Transportation/Warehousing/Shipping?
    • Transaction costs? Order Management?
    • Planning, Scheduling, Manufacturing?
6
Why This Emphasis on SCO?
  • A fully functioning collaborative network will generate signif-icant savings and revenue enhance-ments, depending on the scope of deployment
7
The Journey to Supply Chain Optimization
  • The traditional approach to supply chain management usually involves a collection of separate functional activities

An Opportunity Illustrated
  • 3M creates 100K+ purchase orders for office materials at an average of of $120 per order
  • These orders account for 70% of the company’s total purchasing transactions
  • Total was only 2% of purchasing dollars
  • Each requisition took 1 to 3 days to process
  • Nearly 1/3 of orders needed re-work
  • 45% of purchases were made in violation of pre-arranged contracts with suppliers
  • e-Procurement solution has reduced transaction costs, eliminated almost all rework and errors, and cut the internal order cycle time to less than an hour

Areas of Opportunity – Beyond Level 2
17
Specific Premises
  • Companies with brand and buying scale (nucleus firms) will be at the center of the next wave of business transformation – they should work across business units to take advantage of total leverage and secure most favored conditions from key suppliers
  • As opportunities to receive price reductions based on scale of buy reach the point of diminishing returns, advanced techniques must be employed
  • Buyers and sellers need to turn their attention to process steps, systems and technologies used across their supply chain networks to find the next level of savings and improvements
  • The nucleus firm can lead the search through a series of collaborative efforts, focusing on finding mutually benefits process improvements

Sales Example
Office Depot
  • Concept
    • Extend your supply chain and use a new e-Commerce tool to generate new revenue
  • Application
    • Office Depot showed Bank of America how to plug into OD’s online store
      • B of A now orders 85% of its office supplies through the Web site and saves millions per year
      • Today, 40% of OD’s major customers use the online network
        • Online unit booked $982MM in 2000
      • Company’s Internet sales grew 143%, versus 12%, overall and is expected to increase to $1.3B in 2001

The Signs Continue to Point to an Evolution…
  • …into industry networks and collaborative commerce
27
Path to Success
28
An Industry Overview
29
Collaborative Commerce Premises
  • Supply chain, logistics, order visibility, and e-fulfillment must converge and focus on an end-to-end value chain, resulting in the satisfaction of a targeted consumer group within a specific market segment
  • The value chain must be supported by a technically enhanced business network – the value chain constellation
  • Firms can hold membership in multiple value chain constellations
  • A nucleus firm will be found at the center of the successful value chain constellations
30
Helpful Definitions
  • e-Commerce is the buying and selling of goods and services using the digitally connected marketplace
  • e-Business is the continuous optimization of a firm’s value proposition using the Internet as the primary communication medium
  • Collaborative commerce is about ways in which enterprises interact electronically to plan, design, build, sell, distribute and support goods and services across an end-to-end supply chain network
31
The New Electronic Model
  • Find a market segment with a group willing to pay extra for a solution to a problem
  • Define the problem and offer an electronic solution for that group
  • Introduce elements of customization
  • Charge accordingly
32
New Model
An Example – Lands End
  • Market segment – women looking or new beachwear
  • Problem – they don’t want to try suits on in a store
  • Electronic solution – Swim Suit Finder!
  • Detail – site allows the shopper to use virtual reality to insert hair, face, body shape, skin tone, and then choose from hundreds of styles to select the suit(s) of choice
  • Each custom-made suit is delivered to the home
  • First-year sales – $60 million
  • Returns – zilch
33
Collaboration
A Successful B2B Example
  • Ford Motor Company – Midsize Mondeo
    • First car that will be 100% designed and delivered over the Internet – European model
    • Normal 48-month cycle from concept to market introduction reduced to 16 months
    • Collaboration between designers, suppliers and manufacturing
    • Ford plans to duplicate with launch of 2001 Mountaineer and 2002 Thunderbird
34
