2 Agenda Introduction to Network Design New Trends In Network Design Central vs Decentralized Stocks Case Inventory Positioning Case Introduction to Welch s Welch s Business Problem and Solution 2
3 Supply Chain Challenges Global Economy Competition and Opportunities Powerful well informed customers Customer driven strategies Increased uncertainty On both the supply and demand side New technologies Web Services, On-Demand Computing, RFID. New regulations Hours of service 3
4 Value of Supply Chain Planning Strategic Tactical Operational Strategic Supply Chain Planning Advanced Planning and Scheduling MRP/ERP Execution 80% 20% The majority of a supply chain s lifecycle costs are locked-in at the start Such up-front decisions include: Distribution network Inventory Locations Assembly network Part & component suppliers Inventory Levels Desired part & component availability Desired part & component costs In-house vs. contract manufacturers Decisions Solutions Value Logistics suppliers Source: AMR Research, BCI 4
5 Key Design Questions Supply Chain Design Manufacturing network rationalization Distribution network rationalization Global supply chain design & analysis Inventory positioning & allocation Supplier selection Identify key inventory drivers Supply Chain Planning Optimal inventory & safety stock levels Global Inventory Optimization Global Sourcing & Master Planning Strategic sourcing decisions Time phased capacity planning On-going supply chain master planning 5
6 Network Design Introduction Components -Data -Optimization -Visualization 6
7 Trade-Off Between Service and Cost 7
8 Why Strategic Network Design is Difficult Crosses boundaries within an organization Data required can be hard to collect Variety of data is required: Customer, service, transportation and facilities New types of data: new facility options, viewed differently than current systems The optimization problems are difficult Decisions made with remaining uncertainty Policies that cannot be quantified Labor and Supplier Constraints Political stability, currency fluctuations Ability to shape the data in a strategic study: Costs, demand, constraints Implementation Changes suggested can be disruptive Changes can be radical The need to transition 8
9 Who is Involved? Operations Can include transportation, warehousing, manufacturing, and vendors Understanding on how the business runs and what is possible Sales/Marketing Provides information on service level constraints and evaluates how different scenarios will impact sales Provides forecast data Finance Determines cost inputs and validates cost of scenarios Information Technology Assists with data collection 9
10 Input Data Customers Information Where you are shipping to and how much by product Plant / Vendor Information Specifies the origin of the product and related costs and capacities Distribution Centers Existing and potential distribution centers, cross-docks, warehouses, etc. For each, the relevant fixed and variable costs along with capacities Products Transportation Costs The cost to move product from origin to destination 10
11 Output Data Minimum overall total cost Manufacturing costs Warehouse costs (fixed, processing, and inventory) Transportation costs Optimal number, size, and location of warehouses Appropriate allocation of products to different warehouses Trade-offs between cost and service levels Optimal production quantity at each manufacturing plant Efficient supply channels in the logistics network 11
12 Network Design Process at Walgreens Walgreens is the largest drug store chain in North America with 2003 Revenues of $32.5B Currently has 4,229 stores More than 50% opened within the last 5 years new stores open each year Currently has 12 DC s with a 13 th under construction Each DC serves stores Stores are within 250 miles of a DC Logistics costs DC s: $100 million to build Transportation: $100 s million per year Source: Global Logistics & Supply Chain Strategies, Nov pgs66-69 by Thomas A. Foster. 12
13 Network Design Process at Walgreens Network Modeling Corporate logistics staff is ultimately responsible for new sites Use a network model to continuously evaluate the network and determine where and when new facilities are needed Modeling includes factors such as cost and service Results of the modeling effort find the general area for the new site Picking a Site Real estate team makes final selection Available land Zoning Labor forces issues Utilities Tax issues Final sign-off at board-level 13

34 Background Founded in 1869 by Thomas Welch Became a Cooperative in 1945 National Grape Cooperative Association 1350 members Net sales in FY 03 equaled $579 million Majority of business is Domestic 34
35 Distribution Primary manufacturing/distributing locations in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Washington Small co-manufacturing operation to support the plants Many items made at all 3 plants Growing interplant volume Growing refrigerated business not part of study All manufacturing and distribution done by outside party 35
36 Transportation Welch operates a core carrier program Shipment breakdown 44% truckload 40% multi-stop 15% customer pick-up 1% LTL 98% of D/F customer orders ship from 3 plant warehouses 36
37 Network 37
38 Historical Focus Keep it simple Minimize costs Maximize customer service Welch s is a follower, not a trend setter 38
39 Reasons for Network Study Welch Network becoming more complex Growing amount of inventory in overflow warehouses Growing number of co-manufacturers Growing interplant volume Customers demanding more services bar-coded cases ASN/Pallet license plates Extended warehouse hours of operation Shorter order cycle time 39
40 Reasons for Network Study Potential for significant investment Additional warehouse space Barcoding RFID Oracle- WMS 40
41 Study Objective Determine the best overall distribution network # of warehouses, sizes and locations Shipment modes Insource vs outsource Expected cost Distribution study only Plant movement not an option 41
42 Process Project timeline was 7 months Core team assembled Logistics Manager Operations Manager 2 analysts LogicTools Consultant Monthly updates given to senior management steering committee 42
43 Approach Examine future customer needs Conduct benchmark study Perform network analysis 3 rd party analysis Internal analysis 43
44 3 rd Party Analysis Put together an extensive RFP Selected 4 3PL s top participate Selection based on food industry experience and ability to handle Welch business 3PL s to complete proposal for handling some/all of distribution network Met with each 3PL at a both headquarters and a plant location Conducted 2 rounds of proposals 44
45 Internal Analysis Software selection Looked at a small number of options Selected LogicNet Plus Reason for Selecting LogicTools Value Ease of implementation Product used in earlier analysis 45
46 Analysis Loaded LogicNet Software with the following information: Sales by ship-to, by minor group Plant production capacity Plant production costs Truck and rail rates 25 potential DC s identified 40+ scenarios run: Single sourcing locations versus multi-sourcing With and without shipping from Welch plants With and without rail 46
47 Findings Add up to 3 forward warehouses Dallas Jacksonville Las Vegas Average distance to customers drops from 667 miles to 445 miles Savings with 1 warehouse $1.5 million Additional warehouses save a couple hundred thousand each Much of savings comes from use of boxcars 47
48 Network Solution 48
49 Network Solution Final solution constrained by business constraints Single sourcing of regions Limited opportunity to change sourcing locations 49
50 Sourcing Review Decided to allow system to move/eliminate production and plants Potential savings increased to $7 million, with 2 forward warehouses 50
51 Network Comparison Both 3PL and LogicNet solutions similar in design and cost Most significant difference is expected savings with Dallas DC Major difference between LogicTools and 3PL costs is the 3PL management fee 51
52 Recommendations Investigate feasibility of a southern warehouse in Dallas area Conducting detailed discussion with various Distribution providers Decided that savings associated with additional warehouses not worth going after If forward warehousing makes sense, outsource Review manufacturing strategy Operations reviewing study findings 52
53 Final Thoughts Check your beliefs at the door Allow the data to lead you Challenge, but don t ignore, current business requirements Don t start out too detailed Consider consulting help on larger project Update study a minimum of every 5 years Or whenever a significant event occurs 53
