From our Files - 1995 Projections for Manufacturing in 2005
We are in an era of never-before-seen global competition and ever-increasing customer expectations.
The explosion of technological breakthroughs has overloaded the cognitive abilities of individuals in traditional organizations.
Lightening fast communication has brought global competition to our doorstep.
Gregoire & Correll, “Imagineering Our Future: Manufacturing in the Year 2005,” Proceedings ofThe APICS 1995 International Conference
Looking Back in Our Files Manufacturing in the Year 2005
New customer expectations: Highly customized products Delivered in record time Made as low cost as mass-produced
products, but with low inventories Factories sell gratification
Looking Back in Our FilesManufacturing in the Year 2005
Agile manufacturing: Making only exactly what is needed With tight schedules No excess inventory Smaller factories with smarter machine
tools Producing a wide variety of products with
short setup times
Agile suppliers: Do all that manufacturers do Are located close to major customers Short shipping times Electronic requirements are sent directly to
supplier machines.
Looking Back in Our FilesManufacturing in the Year 2005
Software systems: Companies are networked to their entire
supply chain Applications have grown in size and
complexity Are integrated with personal computer
software and with customers and suppliers
Information is available in real time Factory job structure:
Smaller factories Running specialized jobs making one-of-a-
kind items More white collar jobs emerge as
manufacturing is more automated
From the Experts -Supply Chain Challenges
1. Collaboration is becoming the most strategic capability. Companies may focus on product design
and development and may outsource the rest
2. Assets and functions that are not core to value delivery may be divested to specialists. Develop shared-profit arrangements Suppliers benefit from your success
Anderson and Delattre, ‘Supply Chain Innovations: Five Big, Bold Trends,’ www.accenture.com 2005
From the Experts -Supply Chain Challenges
3. The greatest margin potential may occur after a product ships Products are becoming commodities Service and support become as important at the
product Customers value total service as they look at the
total cost of ownership
4. The front end of the supply chain is as important as the back end in maximizing returns Understanding and responding to customer
needs will be a major part of supply chain strategy
Anderson and Delattre, ‘Supply Chain Innovations: Five Big, Bold Trends,’ www.accenture.com 2005
From the Experts –Supply Chain Challenges
5. The ability to integrate new and innovative capabilities with corporate strategy will drive higher supply chain value Rapid and “virtual” partnering will be key to
new supply chain management strategies.
Anderson and Delattre, ‘Supply Chain Innovations: Five Big, Bold Trends,’ www.accenture.com 2005
From the Experts – Supply Chain Challenges
Quality of demand information is vital – what customers are actually buying
Kanban-style replenishment for reduced inventory costs
Supply chain visibility – knowing where your products are in the supply chain will be critical (doesn’t imply RFID).
Wheatley, ‘Five Top Tips’, www.manufacturer.com 2005
From the Experts - Supply Chain Challenges
Need for flexibility when automating or outsourcing – don’t let supply chain redesign reduce flexibility to respond to customer changes
Simplified IT may be the best choice – complex, costly systems may not be necessary for simpler products and supply chains
From the Experts - Supply Chain Challenges
Become an “On demand enterprise” Flexibly respond with no long-term
commitments Dynamically grow or shrink based on
demand Operate anytime, anywhere, under any
condition and be resilient to any disturbance Minimize asset and labor content per unit of
production Provide real-time transparency of operations
both for external and internal visibility.
Kadifa, The ‘On Demand Enterprise’ www.corio.com, 2005

From the Experts - Supply Chain Challenges
Stanford Professor Hau Lee:1. Great supply chains are agile and react speedily to sudden changes in demand or supply
2. They adapt over time as market structures and strategies evolve
3. They align the interests of all the firms in the network so that companies optimize the chain’s performance when they maximize their interests
Only supply chains that are agile, adaptable, and aligned provide companies with sustainable competitive advantage
Harvard Business Review, 2004
“The Moment of Truth”
The product the customer wants is actually on the shelf when the customer makes his choice Supply chain leaders change how they
replenish a shelf, pack a box, load a truck, or dispatch a fleet to meet customer needs
They make what the customer wants rather than try to sell what the company makes

Be Ready to Seek out New Opportunities
In America, any profession (such as a doctor, lawyer, architect) must be good at the touchy-feely service stuff
Anything that can be digitized will be outsourced. A significant number of service and professional jobs will move out of the US by 2015
The challenge today – rapid change, which requires leadership, flexibility and the imagination to adapt

OUR OPINIONEveryone Has One!
The supply chain is still a “Get it done” function. You can try and glamorize it with technology, but it is still a “Roll up your sleeves” business, and those that are not scared to get their hands dirty and get in the trenches will have a great deal of success.
