How Sears and Michelin made it work

Sears-Michelin
• Implemented CPFR for passenger car tires • Partnership of more than 30 years • Sears : one of USA’s largest retailers • Michelin : major French tire company • Sears sold passenger car tires through its Sears automotive stores

Need for CPFR
• High inventory levels due to new operational procedures • Procedures aimed at improving fill rates • Fill rates still fell to unacceptable levels • Problem attributed to - lack of demand visibility throughout supply chain - lack of formal business process

Foundation for Collaboration
• Involved GNX- B2B exchange site for retail industry • Cross company teams formed • Joint mapping of business process • Identified 3 main areas of improvement - reducing inventory at Sears - reducing inventory at Michelin - increasing information visibility at both ends • Establishment of business rules

Implementation
• Project went live with 80 SKUs • Consolidated supply chain data available • Data hosted by GNX over the internet • Data included sales forecasts, inventory levels, production plans and actual sales • Provided both companies with single set of

meaningful and consistent data

Implementation
• Applied same set of business rules • Rules established by CPFR software • Helped in generating exception reports • More prompt resolution of problems

• Helped both partners to anticipate problems

Implementation
• Sears and Michelin meet monthly to discuss anticipated business • Meetings consist of reviewing marketing efforts, sales trends, forecasts etc • CPFR has helped to automate the generation of reports for the meeting

• Time better spent analyzing & deeper insights

Benefits
• Store in stock levels improved by 4.3 % • Sears distribution centre to store fill rate increased by 10.7% • Combined Michelin and Sears inventory levels

reduced by 25%
• Additional sales due to less stock outs

Process Benefits
• Documenting the process – allowed each

partner to walk in the other’s shoes
• Clearer understanding of the interactions in

the supply chain
• Exception management is standardized • Product transition – peek into the future • Problems addressed faster
