Industry Characteristics 4 month lead time Coordination Built to stock Delays, Out of stock Overstocked 2003 Mohit Juneja & Divakar Rajamani Slide 8 Center for Intelligent Supply Networks
CE Industry Issues COMPONENT SUPPLIERS OEMs SALES COMPANIES RETAILERS High degree of parts customization Long R&D design process times Long lead time to create additional capacity for custom parts Poor customer service / supply flexibility Low re-use of parts Short component life cycles leading to service issues High supply risk due to reliance on custom parts Short product lifecycles High demand unpredictability, inflexible manufacturing Unresponsiveness to demand signals due to manual monthly planning Fragmented procurement across factories Inventory boom-bust cycle (bull-whip effect) Low customer service levels Geographically fragmented supply chain Margin erosion High spares inventory, inconsistent availability Stock outs Reducing margins High logistics costs High inventory, store level stockouts High promotions costs 2003 Mohit Juneja & Divakar Rajamani Slide 9 Center for Intelligent Supply Networks

Demand Definition, Process and Organizations 2003 Mohit Juneja & Divakar Rajamani
Demand Definition The Demand process helps predict and influence future sales by customer Benefits Decrease inventory obsolescence and mark downs Increase customer service and fill rates Sales companies forecast based on shipments and historical sales, market information as well as planned promotions. They forecast across retailers in a market. OEM s forecast across sales companies based on market analysis, business plan as well as historical shipments to sales companies. 2003 Mohit Juneja & Divakar Rajamani Slide 16 Center for Intelligent Supply Networks

Supply Process Definition, Process and Organizations 2003 Mohit Juneja & Divakar Rajamani
Supply Definition The supply planning process optimizes the use of both capacity and material in order to maximize satisfying anticipated demand Benefits Reduce cost of inventory, expediting Global coordination sharing information across supply chain entities Sales companies perform a distribution plan creates the material purchase creates the inventory deployment across warehouses OEMs create a capacity and material feasible master plan across factories and make factory sourcing decisions OEM/Component supplier - Factory each factory creates a material and capacity feasible production schedule and detailed material procurement plan based on its vendor allocation and preference rules 2003 Mohit Juneja & Divakar Rajamani Slide 25 Center for Intelligent Supply Networks
Supply Process Supply Process Sales Companies-Distribution plan Requirements plan Inventory balancing across DC s Maintain target safety stocks Generate desired procurement requirement Inventory deployment plan Generate warehouse allocation OEM-Master plan Requirements plan Factory sourcing Direct procurement Inventory deployment plan Generate sales company allocation Factory plan Generate capacity schedules Generate detailed procurement plans Generate commit against master plan requirement 2003 Mohit Juneja & Divakar Rajamani Slide 26 Center for Intelligent Supply Networks

Allocation Definition, Process 2003 Mohit Juneja & Divakar Rajamani
Allocation Definition Allocation planning process refers to disaggregating expected supply / commits to the customer against anticipated demand. The order promising function is an extension of allocation planning where a sales order is promised against this allocation. Benefits Increased customer service and retention Increased profits Increased order promising accuracy hitting promise dates in execution Sales companies create allocation plans from warehouse / Sales org to different retailers / groups of retailers Promise sales orders against allocated supply OEMs create allocation plans for allocation of finished goods between various sales companies this is usually done as a part of the master plan 2003 Mohit Juneja & Divakar Rajamani Slide 30 Center for Intelligent Supply Networks
