The way of measure of product and service Internal quality assurance external customer
satisfaction customer value SCM is naturally an important component in
fulfilling customer needs and providing value. SCM can also impact the important customer
value of price by significantly reducing costs. Customer value drives changes and
improvements in the supply chain. Customer value is also important for
determining the type of supply chain.
2/
Customer value the way the customer perceives the entire company’s offerings (products, services…)
Customer perception can be broken into several dimensions: Conformance(mil) to requirements Product selection Price and brand Value-added services Relationships and experiences
3/
The ability to offer what the customer wants and needs is a basic requirement to which SCM contributes by creating availability and selection market mediation(buaina kara palai) function the differences between supply and demand will lead
to the costs associated with the market mediation Supply > demand inventory cost Demand > supply lost sales and possibly market share
Customer access the ability to easily find and purchase a product
In all, the company provides Products, services for customers The way for customers to know its products, services
4/
The contribution of product proliferation (rapid reproduction/increase in no)to customer value is difficult to analyze and understand. The proliferation of products and difficulty in predicting demand
for a specific model force retailers and distributors to hold large inventories.
Sometimes there is no need to provide too many selections for one item
Three successful business trends Specializing in offering one type of product : Starbucks, Subway Megastores that allow one-stop shopping for a large variety of
products :Wal-Mart Megastores that specialize in one product area : Home Depot,
Office Max, Sportmart Several ways to control the inventory problem of a large
variety of configuration or products Build-to-order model : Dell Larger inventories at major distribution centers: vehicles A fixed set of options that cover most customer requirements
5/
Price of products and the level of service are essential parts of customer value The price may not be the only factor a customer
considers, there may be a narrow price range that is acceptable for certain products.
Brand – an important factor affecting the price The internet and its impact on consumer behavior
have increased the importance of brand names, because a brand name is guarantee of quality in the buyer’s mind.
Mecedes cars, Rolex watches, Coach purses…

Value-added offering can differentiate some companies from their competitors and provide them with more profitable pricing structures Especially technical products : after sales services
Other reasons why many companies are adding more services around their products: The commoditization of products The need to get closer to the customer The increase in information technology capabilities
Value-added services Support, maintenance Information access
7/
An increased connection between the firm and its customers makes it more difficult for customers to switch to another provider
The learning relationship Companies build specific user profiles and utilize
this information to enhance sales as well as retain customers
Beyond relationship, some companies are also designing, promoting, and selling unique experiences to their customers. An experience occurs when a company
intentionally uses services as the stage, and goods as props, to engage individual customers in a way that creates memorable events

Revenue management “selling the right inventory unit to the right
type of customer, at th-e right time, and for the right price”
Smart pricing Use price as a tool to influence customer
demand
9/
Many companies use price as a tool to influence customer demand and apply the principles of revenue management techniques to their respective industries.
Smart pricing Customized pricing
The objective is to distinguish between customers according to their price sensitivity
Dynamic pricing Dynamic pricing, or changing price over time
without necessarily distinguish between different types of customers has traditionally been used only for sales or promotions
Example : fashion clothing retailers offer discounts later in the season to reduce inventory, and this discount is the same for all customers at a given time.
10/
The objective in this section is to introduce various measures of customer value as well as supply chain performance measures
Service level Customer satisfaction Supply chain performance measures
11/
Service level is the typical measure used to quantify a company’s market conformance.
Service level is usually related to the ability to satisfy a customer’s delivery date.
There is a direct relationship between the ability to achieve a certain level of service and supply chain cost and performance.
12/
Customer satisfaction surveys are used to measure sales department and personnel performance as well as to provide feedback for necessary improvements in products and services.
Customer satisfaction Customer loyalty Customer defections
13/
Information technology has produced many valuable benefits for customers and businesses.
Customer benefits Exchange of information between customers
and business Business benefits
The use of information by companies to learn more about their customers
Business-to-business benefits Enhance business-to-business capacities
14/
Creating customer value is the driving force behind a company’s goals, and supply chain management is one of the means of achieving customer value.
Companies need to select their customer value goals since the supply chain, market segmentation, and skill sets required to succeed depends on this choice.
There is no real customer value without a close relationship with customers.

SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENTSCM
Flow of products and services from: Raw materials manufacturers Intermediate products manufacturers End product manufacturers Wholesalers and distributors and Retailers
• Connected by transportation and storage activities
• Integrated through information, planning, and integration activities
• Cost and service levels

Supply chain management is a set of approaches utilized to efficiently integrate suppliers, manufacturers, warehouses, and stores, so that merchandise is produced and distributed at the right quantities, to the right locations, and at the right time, in order to minimize system wide costs while satisfying service level requirements.

Supply Chain Goals
Efficient supply chain management must result in tangible business improvements. It is characterized by a sharp focus on Revenue growth Better asset utilization Cost reduction.
Uncertainty is inherent to every supply chain Travel times Breakdowns of machines and vehicles Weather, natural catastrophe, war Local politics, labor conditions, border issues
The complexity of the problem to globally optimize a supply chain is significant
Minimize internal costs Minimize uncertainty Deal with remaining uncertainty
23/
Dealing with uncertain environments – matching supply and demand
Shorter product life cycles of high-technology products Less opportunity to accumulate historical data on customer
demand Wide choice of competing products makes it difficult to predict
demand The growth of technologies such as the Internet enable
greater collaboration between supply chain trading partners
If you don’t do it, your competitor will Major buyers such as Wal-Mart demand a level of “supply
chain maturity” of its suppliers Availability of SCM technologies on the market
Firms have access to multiple products (e.g., SAP, Baan, Oracle) with which to integrate internal processes
24/
Forecasts are never right Very unlikely that actual demand will exactly equal forecast demand
The longer the forecast horizon, the worse the forecast A forecast for a year from now will never be as accurate as a
forecast for 3 months from now
Aggregate forecasts are more accurate A demand forecast for all CV therapeutics will be more accurate than
a forecast for a specific CV-related product
Nevertheless, forecasts (or plans, if you prefer) are important management tools when some methods are applied to reduce uncertainty

ISSUE CONSIDERATIONS
Network Planning • Warehouse locations and capacities• Plant locations and production levels• Transportation flows between facilities to minimize cost and time
Inventory Control • How should inventory be managed?• Why does inventory fluctuate and what strategies minimize this?
Supply Contracts • Impact of volume discount and revenue sharing• Pricing strategies to reduce order-shipment variability
Distribution Strategies • Selection of distribution strategies (e.g., direct ship vs. cross-docking)• How many cross-dock points are needed?• Cost/Benefits of different strategies
Integration and Strategic Partnering
• How can integration with partners be achieved?• What level of integration is best?• What information and processes can be shared?• What partnerships should be implemented and in which situations?
Outsourcing & Procurement Strategies
• What are our core supply chain capabilities and which are not?• Does our product design mandate different outsourcing approaches?• Risk management
Product Design • How are inventory holding and transportation costs affected by product design?• How does product design enable mass customization?Source: Simchi-Levi
