Patrik JonssonLogistics and SCM

1. Semester projekt

1. Semester projekt You can consider the project as a kind of

an written exam – this is last chance for training the application of models and the capabilities to make good arguments

In this PP-series both chap. 10 and 18 are included – representing two ways of analysing a SCM

Both ways HAVE to be represented in your project

Anyway you have to make some very good arguments, even if you are NOT going to use these models

Check the Distribution Structures Chap. 10: Look at the slides 4-9 and use them to

analyse how the situation is or might be in the future

In my opinion you HAVE to include it in your project

Remember to make good arguments – using Toulmins Model

Remember: Descriptions give NO points Only Analysis and Assessments will give

you MANY points

Transaction and material flow channels Transaction flow channels

The flow of informastion around the administration parts of order-to-deliver process

Material flow channels Relates to the physical parts of the order-to-

deliver process p218

Separate transaction and material flow channles Two general alternatives

Direct material flow channels Direct transaction channles

p221

Direct material flow channel The intermediary may represent different

suppliers at the same time of sale and ordering, and as such provide a type of one-stop shopping

See figure 10.7a

p221

Direct transaction channel Transaction channels initiary going to the

product-supplying company

While the material flow channel goes from intermediary company to the customer p223

See figure 10.7b

p221

Shared transaction and material flow channels Traditional warehousing and distribution Figure 10.8a

Cross-docking with sorting Figure 10.8b

Direct cross-docking and merge-in-transit Figure 10.8c

Check the Design of SCM Chap. 16: The design of the SCM has a BIG

connection with the choice of multichannel sales from Tanner chap 2 (Vola is multichannel downstream)

Use the following 5 slides to find the right professionel arguments for the solutions you choose

There might very well be different solutions in different industries.

So… Chap 16 HAVE to be part of your project

4. Supply Chain Design Vertically

One owner has ownership influence over the parts of the supply chain (Zara and Ikea to some extent)

Laterally Supply Chain structured around several

independent organisations What a laterally SC gains i core

competence focus and flexibility it may lose in lack of understanding and control of the SC as a whole

See figure 16.10 page 382

4.1 Physical vs. Market-Responsive SC Physical efficient SC (Lean Supply Chains)

Cost minimising Supporting functional products

Market-Responsive SC Focus on demand and flexibility Supporting innovative products

See how to match market and produst – figure 16.11 page 386

4.2 Multiple SC – Combining Two approaches Focus on differentiating the SC before and

after the Customer Order Decoupling Point (CODP) (figure 16.12 page 388)

Focus on Base Demand and Surge Demand Base is predictable and forecasted (figure 16.13 page 389)
