2 Importance of Supply Chain Planning Strategic Strategic Supply Chain Planning 80% The majority of a supply chain s lifecycle costs are locked-in at the start Such up-front decisions include: Tactical Advanced Planning and Scheduling Distribution network Inventory Locations MRP/ERP Supplier network Operational Decisions Execution Solutions 20% Value Inventory Levels Logistics suppliers Source: AMR Research, BCI 2
3 Value of Inventory: inventory touches every aspect of the business and a more efficient inventory process benefits many parts of the business. CEO s Permanently reducing inventory can increase share price. CIO s can take advantage of the systems already in place by complementing them with a high value-added inventory solution CFO s can free up cash and improve the firm s liquidity Supply Chain Professionals can run a more efficient supply chain and have a process for determining the correct inventory targets 5-20% Reduction in Working Capital
4 Traditional Local Inventory Planning Replen. time from plant = 10 days DC Net Exposure= 6 days Response time to customer = 4 days Assumes every location needs to hold buffer stock No coordination of raw material, WIP and finished goods Focuses on replenishment time from nearest inbound location Ignores the impact of inbound and outbound dynamics Can lead to: High Inventory Poor Service Levels
5 Moving from local to global inventory Optimization Global inventory optimization is often called multi-echelon inventory optimization and has the following features: Strategically positions raw materials, work in progress (WIP) and finished goods inventory across the supply chain. This improves inventory turns, free up working capital and increase cash flows. Handles both inbound/outbound and distribution-focused business models. This allows companies to determine the right inventory policies and strategic positioning of inventory at locations. Ongoing setting safety stocks and inventory levels in operational environments. Requires sophisticated stochastic optimization and is therefore very specialized and offered only by experts in this area. Provides end-to-end functionality for manufacturers, retailers and distributors.
6 Inventory Cost $ Global optimization enables your supply chain to move towards the efficient frontier Using currently available global optimization techniques, it is possible to achieve lower inventory cost, while improving customer service Optimize locally to achieve some inventory benefits Optimize globally to move towards the efficient frontier 70% 80% 90% 100% Service Level

34 Business Background & Objectives: Case Study 2 Business Background: A large retail company has its own multi-echelon distribution network. They offer a broad range of products to their customers including fresh and non-perishable food items, and household supplies. Now it plans to enlarge its business scope in the beverage category and optimize the inventory level. Project Objective: New merchandise item introduction To determine the most optimal distribution flow based demand and SL. How to allocate the distribution flow of new product To set up the optimized the inventory level for the product in network Optimize the inventory level for all the products in network based demand and SL Current Distribution Network: Supplier CDC RDC Store Convenience store Retail complexity is captured : Multiple suppliers for single product Multiple physical delivery options through own DC network DSD (Direct Store Delivery from supplier) Stores are supplied by multiple DC combination Large stores can act as supplier for smaller C- stores 34 Confidential 7/2/2013
35 This retail company needs two phase to optimize its product flow and inventory level Phase One: Product flow Configuration / Optimization PFO was used to decide whether beverage should go through DC 1B 1A Enterprise Supply Chain Data Phase Two: Inventory Minimization Inventory Analyst was used to select the inventory position Unit transportation cost and Inventory holding cost rate, demand forecast, etc. Optimize the product distribution flow and stock level; new product introduction PFO Modeling Optimize the stock level, based on the current product distribution flow 2 3 Optimal Product Flows Model transportation and distribution flows and costs. For beverage: Divert flow from CDC to reduce congestion or directly go to RDC to reduce cost Inv. Analyst Inventory Modeling Determine inventory levels and positioning within the whole network to minimize total inventory holding cost. 4 SKU Deployment By Location 35 Confidential 7/2/2013
36 Two Product Flow Options for Beverages Phase One Option1: Centralized storage Option2: Decentralized storage Default Default 36 Confidential 7/2/2013
37 Compare the total cost of two options after PFO calculation, this retail company will transport beverage directly to RDC in order to save money Phase One There are three kinds of cost considered in calculation Transportation cost Inventory holding cost Receiving cost Option1 Option2 Logistics cost 2,727,147 2,522,147 Holding cost 174, ,328 Total cost 2,901,631 2,678, million saving per year 37 Average stock level = Cycle stock level + Safety stock level Confidential 7/2/2013 Extrapolating the above situation to total active SKU assortment of ~40,000 and assuming 50% of items can be optimized means a savings potential of approx.500m USD
38 Based on the result of PFO, build use IA to determine optimal inventory for each item at each facility and in each period Phase Two Optimal inventory level for beverage Optimized Network inventory situation for beverage Optimized Average stock level for beverage , , RDC1 RDC2 Store1 Store2 Store3 Store4 C-Store1 C-Store2
39 Inventory Analyst provides detailed results output Phase Two Optimized Average stock level vs. Baseline Average stock level Optimized Baseline Optimized average inventory level is Less than baseline average stock level The cost saving at inventory holding cost is about 0.07Million 50 0 Beverage Commodity Fresh T-shirt
40 Average stock level of Store 2 is much higher because of large demand. Improving the reorder frequency will reduce the average stock in Store 2 Phase Two The reorder period for each store is 2 days. But the demand of Store 2 is much higher than others, in order to keep a lower average stock level at Store 2, the reorder frequency of Store 2 is increased to be one order each day What is the optimal inventory level for Store 2 while changing the reorder frequency? Optimized Average stock level with 1 day of reorder period for Store For store Cycle stock level Safety stock level Safety stock level is increased to 202 from 142 but cycle stock level is reduced to 227 from 419 Average stock level is reduced to 423 from 561 For RDC1 Average stock level is increased to 2310 from RDC1 RDC2 Store1 Store2 Store3 Store4 C- Store1 C- Store2 Accelerating the reorder frequency not only reduces the average stock level in store2, but also causes 717 saving of total holding cost per year
41 Investment on increasing performance will influence the inventory level as well as the holding cost, IA can help to make quantitative analysis Phase Two Scenario 1: Analyze the relationship between inventory cost and fill rate The current fill rate is 95% and we want to increase the fill rate to 98% for beverage to improve revenue. Safety stock level of 95% FR vs. 98% FR Summary of 95% FR vs. 98% FR Inventory holding cost increase: 2, FR 95% FR 98% Revenue increase: 442, Strore1 Strore2 Strore3 Strore4 C- Strore1 2 C- Strore2 Changes of FR will directly influence the safety stock level at store level. 2,338 is needed to invest to achieve 98% fill rate, but there will be 442,380 revenue increase per year.
42 Faster response time will greatly influence the inventory level in the each facility of distribution network Phase Two Scenario 2: Analyze the proper stock level for different response time The current committed service time (CST) in the distribution network is 3 days. This retail company would like to improve customer response time Stock level for each facility (CST=3 Days) 2500 Stock level for each facility (CST=2 Days) 2000 Cycle stock level 2000 Cycle stock level Safety stock level Safety stock level RDC1 RDC2 Store1 Store2 Store3 Store4 C- C- Store1 Store2 In order to achieve 2 days of CST, higher safety stock is needed RDC1 RDC2 Store1 Store2 Store3 Store4 C- Store1 1 day reduced in CST, about 15% increase of safety stock at RDC level and Store level C- Store2
