SAP Enterprise Inventory & Service-Level Optimization Overview
What makes inventory management tougher today? SKU proliferation Short product lifecycles Inaccurate forecasts Marketing promotions Late delivery penalties Off-shoring Supply variability Manufacturing variability In the life sciences industry, the number of SKUs has grown by 50% in just the past 7 years. In the high tech industry, product lifecycles have decreased over 65% in the past 15 years. In the manufacturing industry, over 40% of innovation services are now off-shored. 2013 SAP AG.

How are most inventories managed now? On spreadsheets One size fits all Gut-feel Done in batch Single stage vs. multi-stage Single point vs. timephased 2013 SAP AG. All rights reserved. Confidential 7
What is inventory optimization? The science of calculating inventory targets To meet desired service goals At lowest total inventory cost possible Across the entire supply chain Inventory optimization should Calculate at the item/location/period level Bridge the gap between planning and execution Provide dynamic parameters to ERP and APO systems 2013 SAP AG.

EIS Reduces Working Capital while maintaining or improving customer service Basic Supply Chain Example Optimal inventory targets - impact on your supply chain: Lower inventory levels Free up working capital Decrease financing charges Reduce storage and production requirements Enable the sale of higher value products Inventory Locations Prevent product shortages Increase operating margin Reduce firefighting / expediting of products Decrease open market purchases Increase sales Improve market reputation 2013 SAP AG.

TYPE of Inventory at each node can and should impact inventory decisions at other nodes How much inventory here? Here? How about here? 2013 SAP AG. All rights reserved. Confidential 16
Supply Demand Supply Chain Robust inventory planning is fundamental to supply chain success How much inventory do I need at my manufacturing plant? How much inventory do I need at my distribution center? Lead times Lead time uncertainty Time-phased BOMs, technology refresh cycle Schedule attainment variability Lot sizes, minimum order quantities Supply reliability Capacity restrictions Frozen production/planning periods Multiple, dynamic supply sources Service level targets Forecast Forecast error Forecast bias Intermittent demand Outlier sales or forecasts Customer segmentation policies Product lifecycle, new item introductions Internal and external demand 2013 SAP AG. All rights reserved. Confidential 17
SAP EIS Calculates & Provides Visibility into Supply Chain Uncertainty To simultaneously reduce inventory while holding service levels high you have to have visibility into all forms of supply chain uncertainty including demand, supply, production & lead times across the extended supply chain: Forecast Error Variability Forecast error Should reflect demand classification (frequent seller, intermittent, etc) other characteristics Should capture error and bias around forecasts across all relevant lags Service variability Should capture less-than-perfect service from internal replenishment points Service Variability Lead Time Variability Supply Quantity Variability Lead time variability Should capture variations in lead times due to natural, external forces Should not include the effects of expediting and advance order placements Supply quantity variability Should capture variations in received quantities due to natural, external forces Can also account for chronic over- or under-production 2013 SAP AG.

Decrease Increase Inventory Level Supply Chain Inventory Positioning: One Size Does Not Fit All Effect of Variability on Inventory Positioning Even today most organizations still use a one size fits all strategy ignoring service level & variability As variability increases so should inventory levels to cover the uncertainty in the supply chain Variability Increases Most companies position too much on low variability items and not enough on high variability ones SAP EIS Adjusts the Mix of Inventory By adjusting inventory requirements to meet the variability of individual items across the supply chain we can reduce inventory while still improving service 60% 40% 20% 0% -20% -40% -3% -5% -12% 11% -18% -25% -6% -18% -30% -19% -40% -7% -16% -21% 2% -25% -33% 15% -31% -7% -35% 13% -19% -23% -28% -30% -30% -43% 13% -25% -10% 46% 8% 4% -14% -33% -60% 2013 SAP AG.
