Supply Chain Segmentation - Finding the Balance Between Scale & Responsiveness

Most large, global companies make and sell a wide range of products in a diverse set of markets. While most managers intuitively recognize that a one size fits all approach probably wont work, companies still struggle to find the right balance of where to drive for economies of scale, while still being responsive and agile. Supply Chain segmentation as an answer is easy in theory but hard to implement in practice. In this discussion we explore a case study in segmentation, and illustrate the constraints and practical choices that often have to be made by global companies to find the right balance of scale and responsiveness.

Your Supply Chain: How Much is Enough and Who Should Do It?

In this presentation I will cover some initial background about GILT.com and how our company has utilized our supply chain as a strategic asset versus a Necessary evil cost center. There are many schools of thought to determine your distribution center needs, and many are incorrect. I will explain some of the key indicators to help evaluate what that sweet spot is. To 3PL or not 3PL.that is the question! Third partys who offer expertise in certain areas can be great partners, but one stop shopping is rare, and often very expensive. I will cover where these may make sense in organizations and where they dont. Once that is determined 3PL selection can be challengingI will go through some factors to help the decision making process.

The future of healthcare reform lies with the market response to what gets funded in the Affordable Care Act. It would appear that consolidation among hospital providers is inevitable to drive overall cost reduction and optimize bed capacity in certain markets that are not already saturated. Innovative care models and cost reduction strategies are required to compete in the new world. The healthcare supply chain will play a major role in keeping hospital providers afloat while still providing quality patient care and outcomes.

Leveraging Distribution Network Design

Ocean Spray Cranberries gained a 20 percent reduction in greenhouse gases on top of a 40 percent savings in transportation costs by making smart process changes to one of its primary transportation and distribution routes. The project measured the sustainability improvements after Ocean Spray opened a new distribution center and partnered with a competitor to improve transportation efficiency. With only a modest investment of time and money, Ocean Spray realized both financial and greenhouse gas emissions savings. The first process change was to open a new distribution center in Florida that moved product supply closer to demand. The next step was to identify a more cost and environmentally efficient way to transport finished products to the new distribution center. After learning of a competing juice companys New Jersey to Florida rail backhaul opportunity, they worked with logistics partner to begin the coordination of shipments.

Supply Chain Excellence

How can you achieve Excellence if you cannot describe it? Many companies strive to get better with formal programs like Lean, six sigma, World Class Manufacturing, etc. But how do these programs align with the overall business objectives and priorities? Are they too internally focused? Does the adoption of these programs lead to the exclusion of the others? Supply Chain Excellence within Griffith Laboratories has been developed as a way to describe the key objectives and related processes with qualifiers like policies, accountabilities, measurement, management review, and continuous improvement. The Supply Chain assessment developed within Griffith Laboratories is the description of an operational reference model to identify, measure, and prioritize supply chain activities within a Food manufacturing environment. It could have application outside food with some adaptation. It has brought our operational teams around the world together with a common language, objectives, and focus.

Finding The Balance - Managing Asia-Based Supply Chains vs Resourcing to North America

Global supply chain leaders are being challenged to continue to drive cost reduction while improving customer fill-rates. Increasing cost in Asia is making this more and more difficult and the balance is shifting the conventional wisdom to outsource products to China and other Asian countries. Supply chain leaders are now driving cost improvements by focusing on total cost of acquisition which is more than just product cost. Supply chain leaders are also looking over a longer time horizon and see that the opportunity lower overall cost and improve service can be realized by resourcing certain products in the US, Mexico and Caribbean. Mr. Russell will discuss his experience in this area.
