DECOUPLING POINT

? Divides the Supply Chain into Forecast and Order driven ? Also known as Order Penetration Point/ Push-Pull Boundary ? Depends on Order Lead Time versus Production Lead Time. ? Direction in which we would like to shift the Decoupling Point ?

Decoupling Point Supplier Customer

DECOUPLING POINT – aka PUSH –PULL BOUNDARY
Supply Chain Management Concept accepts the whole supply chain as a single entity and enable total transparency of demand information across all business partners Push-Pull Boundary

DEMAND CHAIN

DEMAND CHAIN

A series of activities dealing with not only HOW the customer makes the Purchase, but also what drives the Purchasing Transaction A Demand Chain may Start with Purchasing followed by Inventory Control and Scheduling
A term used in Offer Penetration Point: - Offer to Purchase (Traditional PO) - Offer to Inventory (VMI) - Offer to Schedule (to- line)

BULL WHIP

WHAT IS BULL WHIP?
The bullwhip effect - Small changes can reverberate through a supply chain, causing huge swings of inventory and production levels. RETAILER WHOLESALER MANUFACT URER SUPPLIER

Demand Forecast Updating

Order Batching

Price Fluctuation

Rationing & Shortage Gaming

BULL WHIP – MEASURE

Measured by quotient of the coefficient of variation of demand at generated by an echelon by the coefficient of variation of demand received by the echelon

? = cout / cin
Cout = ? (Dout(t,t+T)) / ? (Dout(t,t+T))

Cin = ? (Din(t,t+T)) / ? (Din(t,t+T))

PRODUCT POSTPONEMENT

PRODUCT POSTPONEMENT THEORY

Postpone the task of final differentiation of the Product
until

the latest possible point in the Supply Chain
? Examples: Food at Home Ruff and Tuff HCL Busy Bee

PRODUCT POSTPONEMENT

Without postponement

With postponement

Raw materials components Different products

Raw materials components

Generic product Different products

PRODUCT POSTPONEMENT METHODS

? Three Basic methods to implement Postponement

? Pull Postponement ? Logistics Postponement ? Form Postponement

Various alternative classifications exist

PRODUCT POSTPONEMENT THEORY

1.0 Pull Postponement ?Refers to making the Decoupling Point earlier in the Process e.g. National Bicycle, Japan, Bennetton, USA ?Process must be sequenced so that less differentiating steps are done earlier (less fan-out in Product Structure) ?Process after DP done fast to meet delivery needs ? Accurate Order Capture

PRODUCT POSTPONEMENT THEORY
2.0 Logistics Postponement ? Calls for redesign of tasks or modules involved so that customization can be done downstream

? e.g., Localizing Printers at Distribution Centers
? Combined with Pull Postponement – color matching at local Store – low cost Chromatography. ? HCL Busy Bee: Assembly at Distributors

PRODUCT POSTPONEMENT THEORY
3.0 Form Postponement ? Use of Standardized Components or Process Steps ? e.g., HP Printer Supply Power unit, GE reduced number of parts from 60000 to 300 for its Circuit Breakers Disk Drives need testing by inserting disk specific PCBa time consuming process. Test divided into two - Standard tests and disk specific tests

PRODUCT POSTPONEMENT - BENNETTON
Dyeing

Dyeing vats for the finished knitted product.

PRODUCT POSTPONEMENT - BENNETTON
Old Sequence Purchase Yarn New Sequence Purchase Yarn Knit Garment Parts

Dye Yarn Finish Yarn
Knit Garment Parts Join Parts

Join Parts
Dye Garment Finish Garment
This process is postponed

PRODUCT POSTPONEMENT - BENNETTON
Dye yarn only after the season’s fashion preferences become more established (knit lead-time much longer than dyeing lead-time).

Example: single product; four colors
knit dye Dyeing operations postponed

dye
knit

Outcome: Reduces demand uncertainty & inventory

PRODUCT POSTPONEMENT - MODULARITY

Standardization strategy for the LaserJet by HP

Before standardization
LaserJet printer 110 volts 220 volts

After standardization
LaserJet printer Universal power supply

Differentiation by end-customer in the beginning of production

Europe

North America

HP was able to reduce the total costs of manufacturing, stocking and delivering the finished product to the customer by 5% per year

PRODUCT POSTPONEMENT - LOGISTIC
• Factory-Localization Strategy: (customization performed at the factory)
HP DC

customers

(manufacturer)

• DC-Localization Strategy: (customization performed at the DCs)
HP (manufacturer) DC customers

Postponement: Delaying the point of differentiation

PRODUCT POSTPONEMENT ENABLERS
? Products and Processes must be Modular ? Allows separation of custom and standard parts ? Allows modules to be made independently ? Enablers modules that differentiate to done out ? Processes can be postponed/ resequenced ? Awareness of Design personnel on the importance in SCM ? Involves Multi Functions ? Analytical models to evaluate needed as costs may seem more, e.g. Universal Power Supply of HP printers, GE needed more Copper for Standardization of Circuit Breakers

TIME COMPRESSION IN SUPPLY CHAINS PRINCIPLES
Principle No. 1 The Principle of End User Focus
Long term profitability is dependent on end-user being satisfied and acting as the focus of all development and process engineering Examples/ Terms: Consumption Chain, Bull Whips

TIME COMPRESSION IN SUPPLY CHAINS PRINCIPLES
Principle No. 2 The Principle of Horizontal Boundary Definition
Different end-user needs are more competitively satisfied by logistically engineered channels within the Supply Chain

Examples: “What is the Right Supply Chain for You”- Fisher

TIME COMPRESSION IN SUPPLY CHAINS PRINCIPLES
Principle No. 3 The Principle of Vertical Boundary Definition
Boundaries of ownership and control (dividing the chain vertically) should be positioned to suit the needs of the end-user and according to the best practice and make-buy theory Examples: 3PL, 4PL, VMI

TIME COMPRESSION IN SUPPLY CHAINS PRINCIPLES
Principle No. 4 The Principle of Inventory Positioning
The positioning and levels of Inventory are best determined in a total supply chain context to suit end-user needs in line with stock and postponement theory Examples: Decoupling Point, Offer Penetration Point, Postponement

TIME COMPRESSION IN SUPPLY CHAINS PRINCIPLES
Principle No. 5 The Principle of Control over Demand Dynamics
Understanding and control over demand dynamics is best achieved by having an holistic Supply Chain perspective. The principal basis is through information control and the use of best practice relationship management Examples: Bull Whip, Information Sharing

TIME COMPRESSION IN SUPPLY CHAINS PRINCIPLES
Principle No. 6 The Principle of Cooperation and Coordination
The attainment of the above the principles requires the cooperation and coordination between supply chain participants. For this to work effectively SC participants must have self-defined and motivation objectives based on trust and common business process aspirations Examples: CPFR, ECR, QR

BUSINESS PROCESSES
1.0 FUNCTIONAL VS. PROCESS-CENTRIC ORG.

? MANUFACTURING HAS BEEN VIEWED AS A SEQUENTIAL ARRANGEMENT OF FUNCTIONS e,g. Engg to Planning to Shop to Dispatch etc. ? RECENT VIEW: TO CONSIDER IT AS A COLLECTION OF VALUE ADDING PROCESSES
2.0 EVOLUTION OF PROCESS ORIENTATION

? THE NEW I.E. - IT and Business Processes, SMR „90 ? REEINGEERING: Don?t Automate, Obliterate, HBR ?90 ? BPR WAS BORN

BUSINESS PROCESSES
CURRENT STATE ? “SUPER-EFFICIENT COMPANY”, HAMMER, HBR ?01 ? PROCESSES ACROSS ORGANIZATIONS ? CO-SUPPLIERS ? MFG. ENTERPRISE: “A network of independent companies forming a strategic alliance towards the common goal of satisfying customers faster than through other alliances or vertically integrated plants” ? Collaborative Efforts: QR, ECR, CPFR
