5 Customer Insight Led With increasing focus on greater ownership or influence of their product portfolios, retailers need to develop actionable segmentation and identify the features and functions across their assortments (both private and branded) that drive the right value proposition that each segment is willing to pay for. Being Right Fast Innovation Powered Product development must be built on the premise of fast innovation to ensure being first to market with what customer will want to buy. Network Enabled Retailers should leverage their network of partners to continuously consolidate their product ideas and ensure viability based on their development cycles. 9 Capturing VoC : Reckitt Benckiser Uses consumer insights to extend product usage into other parts of the home NPD strategy aims at consumer needs for convenient & time saving cleaning products Leverages local R&D centers to gather local ideas, demographic, social trends Launched innovative products like Dettol fast mop, Air Wick, etc ignored by competitors VoC for product extension: Heinz Result The upside down ketchup bottle A consumer survey found that 25% stick a "knife in the bottle to start the ketchup flow, and 15% actually store it upside down. Heinz integrated this insight into product innovation. Voice vs. Heart of customer : Del Monte Del Monte sent anthropologists to observe mothers at home, making meals in the kitchen. VoC - 'I really want to prepare healthy food for my family HoC - Insights obtained from observation Mothers face challenges like kids pulling on their legs, less time available to prepare meals than planned for. Conclusion Del Monte develop healthy, convenient products, like easy-to-open packaged fruit and frozen fruit desserts to cater to the trade-offs & shortcuts adopted by Moms. VoC for market extension: Danone Launched its affordability initiative to expand its market share to the low-income consumers in Asia, Latin America and the Africa/ Middle East region Used consumer insights to develop products with lower price points, enhanced nutritional value and larger SKU sizes, without on compromising high standards for quality and food safety. The combination of convenience and affordability has paid off, as now 33 percent of Danone s sales are generated in developing countries. 10

Tailored to distinctive supply/ demand characteristics Responsive to evolving demand signals Leveraging inventory management processes that are flexible and. Work from a common planning model and platform Driving accountability to results across the enterprise 16

9 Optimal Supply Chain Locations Cost/Benefit Analysis Optimal product flows: Optimal flow per product group or supplier Optimal logistic parameters: Production Costs Transport and warehouse costs Inventory Costs Required logistic capacities: How many DCs required Location of these DCs Size of these DCs Required operations (X-Dock etc.) Optimal inventory locations: Centralized vs. decentralized Detailed cost/benefit analysis: Inventory carrying costs Handling & transport costs Lost sales Detailed business case: Impacts on P&L, investment appraisal Enabling Speed Though an Optimized Network Ensure optimal product availability Integrate recently acquired companies and/or locations Decide lease renewal plans for existing facilities Support pull- versus push- distribution Meet or improve customer service levels Accelerate the flow through the supply chain Manage dealer service and/or fixtures Support new markets, products and capabilities Supply Chain Network Business Considerations Minimize facility running costs Reduce transport logistics costs Minimize inventory costs Improve distribution capacity utilization Forecast cost effective solutions considering future sales growth 17 Customer Insights/ Concept Management Category Strategy/ Line Plan Product Development Sourcing Manufacturing Distribution & Transportation In- Store Merchandizing Post Sales Service & Feedback From Sequential Linear process steps, typically executed once per season Examples: Trending colors are added to the assortment next season Customer feedback leads to next season adjustments to an accessory or how a collection is displayed Slow moving products leave the store only in the arms of customers after being heavily marked down In-Store Merchandising Distribution and Transport Post-Sales Service and Feedback Manufacturing Customer Category Strategy/ Line Plan Sourcing Concept Development Product Development To Iterative & Dynamic Process linkages throughout the value chain to respond dynamically to changing customer needs Examples: Trending colors are added to the assortment in the current season Customer feedback leads to in-season adjustments to an accessory or how a collection is displayed Slow moving products are cost-effectively transferred to other stores / regions or channels / dot-com and sold at a higher margin 18

10 Integrated Demand and Supply Chain Planning Segmented SC Planning Tailored demand planning & replenishment models by category (eg. For fashion short-lifecycles, vs. stable long lifecycles, vs. one-time products, ) Segmented SC in Fulfillment Tailored product flows (eg. Direct to store, stocked in supplier DC, in RDC, vs. flow through vs. cross dock,...) Strong analytics enable High Performers to ensure that the right decisions are being taken consistently/timely at the point of impact 19 Being AGILE requires both the capabilities and the culture to operate in a fundamentally different way 20

11 The Business Need for Speed to Customer Being Right - Insight-driven Fast Innovation Being Fast - Agile Supply Chain Being Efficient - Lean Supply Chain Summary 21 Results Oriented Culture Minimizing approval layers, accelerating decision-making, avoiding too many meetings, ensuring true decision making power is not aggregated at too few and too high of levels. Being Efficient Operational Effectiveness Awareness and understanding of endto-end implications of key decisions which may lead to inefficiencies across the value chain Lean Execution Avoiding poorly connected processes, information gaps, and operational silos which create waste and re-work and contribute to suboptimal cost structures. 22

12 Efficient Enterprise has to be Results Oriented and supported by rigorous Performance Management to align leadership and employees on what really matters Performance Management is a critical success factor in creating an Efficient Enterprise. It is the link between improvement activities and business performance Business Performance Performance Management Operational Improvement Cascade value-focused drivers throughout the organization Set stretch targets based on known opportunities Constantly review and enhance the performance + Known opportunities Stretch target + 23 After many years of success in manufacturing industries, Lean Six Sigma is finally catching on within the retail and consumer goods industries Lean Six Sigma (LSS) is a continuous improvement methodology that combines two of the most powerful improvement engines available to business today. 24

13 Examples of Lean at Leading Retailers Excessive Inventory A large retailer operated a group of stores in urban areas with high sales volume per square foot but little backroom space to hold inventory. The excess inventory squeezed into these spaceconstrained stores led to multiple handling of product, difficult inventory management, inefficient use of labor, frustrated associates and managers as well as negative impact on the customer experience. Without negatively impacting in-stock products or sales, the implemented Lean Six Sigma solutions reduced inventory by 8,800 units per store and weeks of inventory supply from 10.7 to 7.8 Kaizen: New Store Cost Reduction Over the course of a 1-week Kaizen event, a Lean Six Sigma team discovered more than 30 unnecessary components of the original design. They created a new construction process and timeline resulting in more than $5 million in annual savings and increased margin from earlier store upgrade openings. Accelerated improvement: Weekly insert process A large US retailer determined the advertising portion of the weekly insert took 14 work days to create. The defect rate with its current process exceeded 90 percent resulting in extensive rework. The team implemented solutions that reduced the cycle time from the first touch by advertising was reduced to four days, and the defect rate decreased to less than 5 percent. 25 The Business Need for Speed to Customer Being Right - Insight-driven Fast Innovation Being Fast - Agile Supply Chain Being Efficient - Lean Supply Chain Summary 26
