Where We Are Cost Structure and Margin
Competitors are more efficient with raw materials and/or direct labour
Reducing raw material cost by vertical integration
Reduce direct labour by offshoring, nearshoring
Steenland purchases liquid chocolate from third parties, such as Barry Callebaut, hence it pays extra 5% for raw materials compared to others, who own chocolate production
Steenland’s products are relatively customised, hence more labour intensive

Stakeholders, Time, and Real Option
“Harvesting” and “Planting” views can potentially create a conflict of interest between stakeholders.Investors only harvest and owners only plant ?- Not if you put Time in between them -
Harvesting gives investors fast return and provide company with cash to grow. Planting provides the company with a growth plan but also provide exiting investors with a future plan they can sell. Both gain from lower risk.
“Timing and
sequencing is the key
to a unified effort to
success”

Harvesting Stage: Operations
Production SynergySteenland operated at 100% utilization rate in 2005. Together with Gina, a combined capacity, of 3200 ton/year, will be again fully utilized by 2008.
Supply Chain benefits from centralized planning and purchasing. Therefore higher bargaining power and less personnel.
Given current production limitations, Steenland’s product will be limited to flat chocolate items.
Operations concept for the
harvesting stage is to exploit
current capacity and
capabilities.
CostsReduction in seasonality of demand decreases inventory, ICC and improves payment pattern.
The risk of high complexity cost managed through efficient production planning and delaying variation.

Planting Stage: Operations
Investing in ProductionRelocation of the Dutch and German production facilities to either Poland or Turkey, as low cost countries. Selection criteria are suitability of M&A target, raw material accessibility, transportation reliability, and favorable macro factors.
As new markets strengthen, offshored production caters to regional demand. Steenland moves from a centralized system in the harvesting stage to a networked structure in the planting stage. Offshoring comes with exchange rate risks, which must be hedged.
Operations concept for the
planting stage is to increase
capacity and capabilities and reduce
cost.
Supply ChainIndustry benchmarking suggests room for improvement in the cost structure. Vertical integration provides an expensive but sustainable improvement of margin.
InventoryOffshoring production to countries with less reliable infrastructure an workforce exposes us to high risk of unreliability. Higher level of inventory will be required.
