Outsourcing components have increased progressively over
the years Some industries have been outsourcing for an extended
time Fashion Industry (Nike) (all manufacturing outsourced)
Electronics Industry Cisco (major suppliers across the world)
Apple (over 70% of components outsourced)

Economies of scale Aggregation of multiple orders reduces costs, both in
purchasing and in manufacturing
Risk pooling
Demand uncertainty transferred to the suppliers
Suppliers reduce uncertainty through the risk-poolingeffect
Reduce capital investment Capital investment transferred to suppliers.
Suppliers higher investment shared between customers.

Focus on core competency Buyer can focus on its core strength Allows buyer to differentiate from its competitors
Increased flexibility The ability to better react to changes in customer demand The ability to use the suppliers technical knowledge to
accelerate product development cycle time The ability to gain access to new technologies and
innovation.
Critical in certain industries: High tech where technologies change very frequently Fashion where products have a short life cycle

6/20
Loss of Competitive Knowledge Outsourcing critical components to suppliers may open
up opportunities for competitors
Outsourcing implies that companies lose their ability to
introduce new designs based on their own agenda ratherthan the suppliers agenda
Outsourcing the manufacturing of various components todifferent suppliers may prevent the development of newinsights, innovations, and solutions that typically require
cross-functional teamwork

Conflicting Objectives Demand Issues
In a good economy Demand is high Conflict can be addressed by buyers who are willing to make long-
term commitments to purchase minimum quantities specified by acontract
In a slow economy Significant decline in demand Long-term commitments entail huge financial risks for the buyers
Product design issues Buyers insist on flexibility would like to solve design problems as
fast as possible
Suppliers focus on cost reduction implies slow responsiveness todesign changes.

PC market entry in 1981 Outsourced many components to get to market
quickly 40% market share by 1985 beating Apple as the top
PC manufacturer Other competitors like Compaq used the same
suppliers IBM tried to regain market by introducing the PS/2
line with the OS/2 system Suppliers and competitors did not follow IBM market share shrunk to 8% in 1995
Behind Compaqs 10% leading share Led to eventual sale of PC business to Lenovo

Dependency on capacity Firm has the knowledge and the skills required to produce the
component
For various reasons decides to outsource
Dependency on knowledge Firm does not have the people, skills, and knowledge required
to produce the component
Outsources in order to have access to these capabilities.
Two Main Reasons for Outsourcing
8/2/2019 Logistic Assignmt
10/20
Customer Importance How important is the component to the customer?
What is the impact of the component on customer experience?
Does the component affect customer choice?
Component Clock speed How fast does the components technology change relative to
other components in the system?
Competitive Position Does the firm have a competitive advantage producing this
component?
Capable Suppliers How many capable suppliers exist?
Architecture How modular or integral is this element to the overall architecture
of the system?
Whether to Outsource or Not ??

Depends on: type of products the firm is purchasing level of risk
uncertainty involved
Issues: How can the firm develop an effective purchasing
strategy?
What are the capabilities needed for a successfulprocurement function?
What are the drivers of effective procurement strategies? How can the firm ensure continuous supply of material
without increasing its risks?

Supply Strategies have changed over the years
American automotive manufacturers 1980s: Suppliers either in the US or in Germany.
1990s: Suppliers in Mexico, Spain, and Portugal.
2000s: Suppliers in China
High-tech industry 1980s: Sourcing in the US
1990s: Singapore and Malaysia
2000s: Taiwan and mainland China
Challenge: Framework that helps organizations determine the
appropriate supplier footprint.
Strategy should depend on the type of product or
component purchased

Benefits Of Procurement
Environmental benefits:Reduction in harmful emissions and waste generation - improved air and waterqualityReduced use of natural resourcesReduced environmental impact of your operations through your supply chainMeet existing and forthcoming legislation around the climate change agenda .Support resource efficiency .Social benefits:Improvements in working conditions - labour standards, health and safetyAssist disadvantaged groups in society
Improve wage rates to those in low pay through the London Living Wage policyEconomic benefits:Improved efficiency in the public sector - more funds to invest in social andeconomic developmentImproving the efficiency and transparency of procurement procedures, structures,Financial savings.

Other benefits:Fulfill the Government's commitment to place sustainable development at thecenter of public procurement policyMeet international obligations - for example, the EU Treaty commits membergovernments to integrate environmental protection into their policies. The Rio
Declaration requires the reduction and elimination of unsustainable patterns ofproduction and consumption. At Kyoto, the Government agreed to reducegreenhouse gas emissions by 12.5% on average for the period 2008-2012.

Sole source risk is the risk of shutting down your supply chain indefinitelybecause you have no alternative sources for certain suppliers. The best way to avoidsole source risk is to refrain from sourcing something that is only made by onesupplier (such as a highly specialized semiconductor.) If you already have solesource parts, gauge your risk by estimating how much of your revenue will beimpacted if the vendor shuts down. Those vendors with the greatest revenue impactare your largest risks. Mitigate sole source risk by tracking the financial health of
those vendors and by actively working to redesign your products so that you havealternatives.
Large customer risk is the risk many procurement organizations miss,and miss to their detriment if their organization is large! Large customer risk occurswhen your business constitutes a significant overall percentage of a vendors total
revenues at least 25% or more. When your fortunes swing, they are amplified forthese vendors. A 10% cut in spend in a category for you may result in a 40% cut incash flow for them and put them under. For this risk type, it is good to track whatpercentage your revenues are to your vendor and any time you creep over 25%,look for additional sources of supply.

Lengthy switch-over risk is the risk that occurs because you areworking with a single vendor and changing over to an alternative will take along time. This is different from a sole source vendor because there arealternatives. The Ariens article provides a great example of this type of risk.They were working with a single engine manufacturer for their snow blowersfor a practical reason. It would probably have been too expensive to tool upand buy from two sources. This situation occurs a lot in indirect procurementas well companies typically engage one IT help desk provider, one ERPcompany, and one construction firm for building new facilities. Again, watchingthe financial health of these vendors is key. Prioritize your risk managementefforts by estimating the potential monetary impact of failure of each lengthy
switch-over source.

Functional Products Focus should be on minimizing total landed cost
unit cost transportation cost inventory holding cost
handling cost duties and taxation cost of financing
Sourcing from low-cost countries, e.g., mainland Chinaand Taiwan is appropriate
Innovative Products Focus should be on reducing lead times and on supply
flexibility. Sourcing close to the market area Short lead time may be achieved using air shipments
Procurement Strategy for the Two Types

Outsourcing has both benefits and risks
Buy/make decisions should depend on: Whether a particular component is modular or integral Whether or not a firm has the expertise and capacity to
manufacture a particular component or product. Variety of criteria including customer importance, technology
clockspeed, competitive position, number of suppliers, andproduct architecture.
Procurement strategies vary from component tocomponent Four categories of components, strategic, leverage, bottleneck
and non-critical items Four categories important in selecting suppliers:
component forecast accuracy, clockspeed, supply risk,and financial impact.
