Preface

What should any company expect from the chief supply chain officer (or equivalent within the organizational structure)?

• Enabling sales volume growth

• Enabling market-share growth

• Reducing revenue cycle

• Reducing lost sales

• Supporting marketing and sales initiatives

• Enabling customer experience by improving customer’s perception

• Managing the cost to serve

• Offering differentiated service packages

• Enabling margin growth

• Reducing cost of sales

• Balancing asset management

• Balancing service level and cost structure

Despite all barriers involved, delivering products/services on time has not been considered a differentiation attribute for many years. The perfect order fulfillment enables customer satisfaction, but yet, it is not enough. Absolutely no company survives based exclusively on customer satisfaction, because customer satisfaction is only part of the business environment equation.

Today, successful organizations must create long-term business profitability to compete with complex and fluid supply networks. The ability to create value for shareholders is paramount.

The chief supply chain officer (CSCO) must understand market nuances while interacting with peers from commercial areas, finance, information technology, and human resources. The CSCO is usually

PREFACE xiii

a seat on the board of directors and is expected to contribute to the company’s long-term strategy.

This book covers a number of strategies and policies to guide senior executives in the mission to deliver value to shareholders by selling more, selling for more, and selling at a reduced cost. The Business Network Value Model (BV Model) suggests a structured approach to connect these drivers to expected deliverables.

Authors’ Note

Over the years, the common understanding of world-class operations has evolved from the simplistic, focused management of functional silos to a comprehensive approach of supply network man-agement as the driver to deliver ultimate shareholder value. Although many commentators have tried to describe this evolution, most have failed to properly address the supply chain’s fundamental building block: knowledge management. Therefore, their analyses also over-looked the only element that delivers long-term sustainable share-holder value: people.

We are writing five books for Pearson that cover the most impor-tant features of this evolutionary journey. These books will provide detailed roadmaps and models to diagnose, implement, and sustain world-class supply chain network management in organizations of all types:

• A Guide to Supply Chain Management: The Evolution of SCM Models, Strategies, and Practices (an e-book) introduces the core concept of knowledge management as the only strategy capable of steering supply chains networks management to suc-cessfully compete in highly competitive markets. This introduc-tory work reviews supply chain practice from its earliest stages and presents reference models that support our view of this discipline as a business driver to deliver shareholder value.

xiv SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT STRATEGY

This book introduces the Supply Network Alignment Reference Model (SNAR Model), which organizes the supply chain net-works into knowledge areas that enable accurate decision mak-ing from the strategic level to daily management decisions.

This book also introduces the Supply Network Knowledge Man-agement Maturity Roadmap (SKMap). Before the develop-ment of a supply network reference model, it was necessary to understand the intermediate evolutionary stages of knowledge management within the supply chain. The SKMap organizes and correlates several strategies and practices according to a unique structure that allows you to understand how to face the future challenges of managing supply chain networks in fluid and complex environments.

• Supply Chain Management Strategy: Using SCM to Create Greater Corporate Efficiency and Profits (this book) explores how supply chain management delivers shareholder value. The introduction covers topics such as the supply chain master plan, cash-management cycle, purchase-to-pay cycle, and manufac-turing-to-revenue cycle. This book introduces the Supply Net-work Business Value Model (SNValue Model) and discusses the supply chain mechanisms that generate value for the busi-ness. It addresses the following topics: enabling sales volume growth, enabling market-share growth, reducing revenue cycle, reducing lost sales, supporting marketing and sales initiatives, enabling customer experience by improving customer percep-tion, managing the cost to serve, offering differentiated service packages, enabling margin growth, reducing cost of sales, bal-ancing asset management, and balancing service level and cost structure.

This book also presents the Business Value Impact Chart (BV Chart) and the Balanced Control Panel (BC Panel). The third part of the book covers how each of the SNAR Model knowl-edge areas can contribute to each of the factors that enable

Page 16: Supply Chain Management Strategy: Using SCM to Create ...ptgmedia.pearsoncmg.com/images/9780133764376/samplepages/... · Supply Chain Management Strategy Using SCM to Create Greater

PREFACE xv

shareholder value. The tool used to establish these relation-ships is the BV Chart.

• Executing the Supply Chain: Modeling Best-in-Class Processes and Performance Indicators covers the supply network gov-ernance cycle and explains the mechanisms needed to under-stand the business though process mapping, risk analysis, and the definition and use of performance indicators for all areas directly or indirectly related to supply chain management. The second part of the book presents how each of the SNAR Model knowledge areas can be monitored and controlled by perfor-mance indicators. Other chapters present real-world metrics from companies of different sizes, sectors, and countries, and discuss benchmarking techniques.

• Customer Service Supply Chain Management: Models for Achieving Customer Satisfaction, Supply Chain Performance, and Shareholder Value focuses on the role of customer service as a strategic integrator for differentiated supply chain manage-ment. This book presents the Customer Service Management Model (CSM Model), a dynamic mechanism developed to eval-uate the interactions present in the customer service environ-ment. The model presents four pillars and provides a quantita-tive approach to understand the connection between them:

1. Customer Service Level Expectation

2. Supplier Service Level: Hired Performance

3. Customer Service Level Perception

4. Supplier Service Level: Delivered Performance

Although the book discusses some traditional customer service elements such as pre-transactional, transactional, and post-transactional service, the most important topics are customer service strategies, managing service levels, and customer ser-vice organization, respectively.

xvi SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT STRATEGY

• Managing Supply Chain Networks: Building Competitive Ad-vantage in Fluid and Complex Environments presents a solid roadmap for managing knowledge within organizations across all industries. You learn how to build, implement, and sustain long-term knowledge management as a consistent strategy to deliver business value through supply chain innovation leader-ship.

This book presents the Supply Network Governance Diamond Model (SNG Diamond) which is executed through...people! The SNG Diamond Model is a common governance structure focused on the long-term success of the entire supply network that connects knowledge management and risk management and reviews policies that promote the innovative environment required to face the challenges of managing fluid and complex supply networks.

1 Supply Chain and Shareholder Value

People are the hidden gem in the virtuous cycle. Through people, sophisticated information networks find the adequate architecture required to help companies achieve both their intermediate and ulti-mate goals.

Only through the adequate engagement of people does an orga-nization trigger the virtuous cycle that creates and sustains a value-added innovative environment. This environment leads the business to its ultimate goal: delivering value to shareholders (see Figure 1.1 ).

Knowledge management enables visibility, which becomes tangible by understanding the processes and thus enables efficient decision-making mechanisms. The Supply Network Knowledge Man-agement Maturity Roadmap (SKMap), shown in Figure 1.2 , intro-duces the various levels at which organizations perceive the strategic contribution of supply chain management (SCM).

The goal of the virtuous cycle is to promote within the organi-zation the ability to decide and implement actions that modify the business and add value to it. Therefore, it is expected that what the organization considers valuable is well known even before the deci-sion-making process begins.

Note that the virtuous cycle suggests that innovation is the mecha-nism to enable value as the ultimate goal to be delivered to sharehold-ers and stakeholders. According to Oxford Dictionaries, 1 “ innovation is (1) the action or process of innovation; (2) a new method, idea, product, etc;” whereas innovating is to (1) make changes in some-thing established, especially by introducing new methods, ideas, or products.”

The concept of innovation is strongly associated with performing differently. But many people can do many things differently; that’s easy. The difficulty lies in making the change different and, simulta-neously, adding value to the business. What one company considers added value might not hold the same importance for another busi-ness (even for a competitor). In addition, because business priorities change over time, the value-added concept is temporal.

CHAPTER 1 • SUPPLY CHAIN AND SHAREHOLDER VALUE 3

Adding value to the business may come from entering a new mar-ket, reducing the revenue cycle, reducing accounts payable, increas-ing profitability, or implementing a physical distribution structure capable of responding to demand volatility. What is value for a par-ticular company at a given time?

So many knowledge areas influence SCM decisions that execu-tives often find themselves confused. So, we developed the Supply Network Alignment Reference Model (the SNAR Model), which pro-vides a structured approach to these knowledge areas, mapping the extended supply network from different perspectives (see Figure 1.3 ).

CHAPTER 1 • SUPPLY CHAIN AND SHAREHOLDER VALUE 5

Supply Chain and Value

Since 2013 (and as of this writing), the Operations and Supply Chain Academic Group at LinkedIn has debated how best to achieve short-term cost-benefit advantage via supply chain management. This LinkedIn group currently has about 20,000 members, and the debate involved academics and executives from countries such as the United States, Brazil, India, Australia, Finland, New Zealand, Turkey, China, England, and Canada.

The variety of knowledge areas involved in supply management, as mentioned earlier, reflects the potential complexity of coordinating within the supply chain the efforts to deliver differentiated contribu-tions to the business and to fulfill shareholder expectations.

To help you understand these contributions, consider the cate-gorizations shown here under the SNAR Model coding system (see Table 1.1 ).

CHAPTER 1 • SUPPLY CHAIN AND SHAREHOLDER VALUE 9

Supply Chain Master Plan

Over the years, various supply chain management models, strat-egies, policies, and practices have been proposed, including the following:

• The efficient supply chain

• Vendor managed inventory (VMI)

• The lean supply chain

• Sales and operations planning (S&OP)

• Continuous replenishment program (CRP)

• The agile supply chain

• Efficient consumer response (ECR)

• Collaborative planning (Collaborative Forecasting and Replen-ishment [CFAR] / Collaborative Planning, Forecasting, and Replenishment [CPFR])

• The responsive supply chain

• Bullwhip effect

• The leagile supply chain

• Supply chain risk management

• Integrated business planning (IBP)

• The resilient supply chain

• The customer-driven supply chain

• The adaptive supply chain

• The wise supply chain

To apply the SCM model concepts to real-world practices, com-panies must establish a long-term strategy called a supply chain master plan (SCMP) (see Figure 1.7 ).

To build the SCMP, the company must understand the SCM models and evaluate how to create the most suitable balance between them to maximize key variables such as process performance, cus-tomer satisfaction, and shareholder value.

The SCMP offers a long-term perspective for the supply chain and should properly address key issues related to the business goals. It also creates the right decision-making process for building accu-rate strategies because it enables executives to start thinking about the interconnectivity between the policies that will rule company’s processes.

5 Presented by Alexandre Oliveira during Logchem, São Paulo, Brazil, September 2012.

Page 28: Supply Chain Management Strategy: Using SCM to Create ...ptgmedia.pearsoncmg.com/images/9780133764376/samplepages/... · Supply Chain Management Strategy Using SCM to Create Greater

CHAPTER 1 • SUPPLY CHAIN AND SHAREHOLDER VALUE 11

These strategies have three main dimensions:

1. Sales volume increase

2. Sales revenue increase

3. Margin of contribution increase

These dimensions/strategies do not compete with each other; instead, they should influence the business simultaneously.

It is important to realize that the organization will not move for-ward without some level of business integration. It is not possible to execute a long-term SCMP without shaping alliances with other com-panies. The external side of the supply chain is nowadays more deci-sive than ever.

In fact, the connection with the external operations of multiple, interconnected supply chains is what makes the management of sup-ply networks so challenging. You can find more information about this in our book titled Managing Supply Chain Networks. 6

The potential benefits of enduring alliances include the following:

• Accelerate the development of products, services, or processes: This includes the alliance with preferred product or part suppliers or specialist IT or logistics service providers (LSPs).

• Accelerate market entry: The relationship with key accounts of selected distribution channels.

• Maintain leadership in the market: Alliances with noncom-peting companies may diversify the portfolio of products or ser-vices to provide a complete solution for your customer.

• Set a standard for the segment: The quality of raw material used in a differentiated product may be the result of a long-term partnership with specific suppliers.

12 SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT STRATEGY

• Minimize risks of R&D: Some industry sectors jointly invest to create and maintain research development centers focused on their specific demand. This occurs in diverse industry sec-tors, including automotive, electronics, pharmaceutical, and banking.

• Acquire complementary resources: Automotive industry dealers work closely with the banking industry to offer to final-consumer financial services. Dealers often develop long-term exclusive relationships with finance institutions of various types.

• Achieve economies of scale: External manufacturing is a trend in the pharmaceutical industry. Small laboratories out-source parts of the packaging process to larger laboratories with more assets and industrial overcapacity.

• Avoid or overcome trade barriers: Local distributors usu-ally eliminate or minimize several barriers found by exporters, in particular in new markets.

• Share capital resources: Some industries offer long-term contracts to haulers so that these companies can implement a fleet-renewal plan. The long-term contract enables the haulers to plan cash flow, keep a fleet with reduced average age, and offer better customer service.

• Acquire or maintain technology: Partnerships with IT solu-tion providers include license or version updates for various applications, such as warehouse management systems, trans-port management systems, routing systems, and so on.

• Access restricted markets: Local brokers will offer regional knowledge on how to deal with national laws and intrinsic bureaucracy in some countries (and perhaps even with regard to regulatory agencies/policies within your own country).

CHAPTER 1 • SUPPLY CHAIN AND SHAREHOLDER VALUE 13

A clear correlation exists between the SCMP and the SKMap (see Figure 1.8 ). The first parallel can be traced soon after the introduc-tion of the concept of supply chain management. According to the SKMap, this moment occurs when knowledge management enables the formation of the following building blocks: Planning Logistics and Synchronous Operations.

Further, the SKMap indicates that after the building blocks have been established, it is possible to deliver the baseline results, mostly as a result of offering improved product availability.

This minimal operational efficiency is delivered despite various difficulties. The lack of a governance mechanism inhibits the defi-nition of goals, the alignment of strategies, the formulation of poli-cies, and the implementation of practical actions. The lack of visibility slows and weakens the decision-making process. Shortcomings and rework are frequent. In Figure 1.8 , this initial scenario is indicated by arrow 1.

14 SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT STRATEGY

The methodology of the SCMP serves as the foundation of gov-ernance: the processes are mapped; performance indicators are defined, implemented, and used; and there is the involvement of cus-tomer service, human resources, information technology, and project management. Connections with other company departments such as sales, finance, and marketing are also formed. A little later, the first connections with the external supply chain appear. There is the involvement with preferred suppliers, customers, and service provid-ers. This transition mechanism, which supports the supply chain gov-ernance, is indicated by the arrow 2 in Figure 1.8 .

This new environment facilitates collaborative planning. Only through collaborative planning can the company strengthen internal and external processes. The strengthening of processes reduces errors and increases the index of repeatability of operations.

Over time, customers perceive the continued good performance. This perception has its origin in the governance structure that allows business-capability forecasting. The company can thus react to busi-ness fluctuations in advance. It can also, due to the recently created business forecasting skills, anticipate some movements. The superior operational performance, illustrated in Figure 1.8 by arrow 3, results in customer satisfaction.

But this process has not yet adequately controlled the financial dimension. Despite the customer satisfaction, the cost to serve is still not controlled. The main objective is still product availability.

According to the SKMap, the next step is to achieve the busi-ness differentiation and deliver shareholder satisfaction. Reaching the superior finance performance requires a large and coordinated effort.

The migration from superior operational performance to superior finance performance is the main focus of this book. The challenge is to identify the correlations between strategies and policies of the sup-ply chain and the effective company’s cash management .

CHAPTER 1 • SUPPLY CHAIN AND SHAREHOLDER VALUE 15

As Figure 1.9 shows, a difference exists between the stages 4 and 5. Stage 4 (business differentiation) manages to deliver shareholder satisfaction. However, stage 5 innovates and delivers shareholder value. A profound difference exists between shareholder satisfac-tion and shareholder value. The first, shareholder satisfaction, relates to the financial performance in the short to medium term (up to 2 years). The second, shareholder value, relates to the long-term suc-cess of the company (beyond 2 years, with a horizon of up to 10 years).

Cash-Management Cycle

The concept of a cash-management cycle requires a segmented approach:

• The first cycle is defined by the inbound operation of the com-pany. It begins with the definition of the sourcing strategies and ends at the payment made to suppliers and with supplies avail-able at the warehouse for manufacturing. This is the purchase-to-pay cycle.

• The second cycle refers to the outbound operation. The man-ufacturing-to-revenue cycle is quite extensive and includes production, storage, and distribution of finished goods and the fulfillment of customer orders until the receipt of the invoiced value.

Page 33: Supply Chain Management Strategy: Using SCM to Create ...ptgmedia.pearsoncmg.com/images/9780133764376/samplepages/... · Supply Chain Management Strategy Using SCM to Create Greater

16 SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT STRATEGY

The integration of these cycles gives the visibility that the com-pany requires for an efficient cash management of its operations.

Purchase-to-Pay Cycle

The activities of this environment happen without a fixed sequence.

The purchasing strategy is a broad discipline. Among other things, it requires strategic planning, risk management, analysis of economic and financial viability, and the strengthening of relationships. A long learning curve applies. The responsibilities are beyond the area of procurement planning (SNAR 01.01.01).

This building block is influenced by areas such as quality assur-ance, engineering, demand forecasting, inventory management, production planning and execution, research and development, and HE&S ( health, safety, and environment ). Purchasing has activities at strategic, tactical, and operational layers.

At the operational level, the interface with the cited areas of the company sets the order requirements. The order requirements are assumptions for the processes of supplier selection, negotiation, and contracting.

Note that both products and services are acquired, as are direct and indirect products, operational services (such as transport and storage), and administrative services (such as travel, health insurance, and banking). There is great diversity in the scope of selection, nego-tiation, and contracting.

The interface with the areas of demand planning, production planning, finance, and controllership defines budgeting and forecast-ing policies, practices, and actions. Forecasting the annual purchasing budgeting is quite a challenge because it impacts the forecasted cash flow and therefore the P&L ( profit and loss ) accounts.

CHAPTER 1 • SUPPLY CHAIN AND SHAREHOLDER VALUE 17

There is also the ordering, receiving, any discrepancy manage-ment, and invoicing processes prior to cash management that involves the accounts payable team.

Figure 1.10 shows how these processes demand interactions within the organization. The image presents the SNAR Model and highlights the knowledge areas that either influence or are influenced by the purchase-to-pay cycle.

Manufacturing-to-Revenue Cycle

This second cycle has a broader scope than the purchase-to-pay. It begins with the movement of materials for manufacturing areas and continues with the production of finished goods. Then it follows to the storage, order receiving and fulfillment, and the cycle of accounts receivable.

18 SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT STRATEGY

The customer strategy is a fundamental area or role that defines several segmentation strategies in customer service. This segmenta-tion impacts the entire fulfillment process. This affects the planning of physical capabilities of the supply chain and the channels of data treatment and triggers the cost-to-serve patterns.

The sales management policies have some parameters that strongly affect the cost to serve. Topics such as drop-size tail, order entry, customer channels, service level, and customer tail are highly complex because there are numerous parameterizations. Closely related to sales management, it is the management of contracts, usu-ally led by the sales team but followed by the customer service team.

This requires strong alignment between areas of supply chain, sales, and finance. Any flaw in this alignment will affect the demand response in three basic dimensions: reduction of sales volume, reduc-tion of sales revenue per unit, increase of sales cost per unit. These dimensions are discussed in the next chapter.

CHAPTER 1 • SUPPLY CHAIN AND SHAREHOLDER VALUE 19

The credit check policy tends to be defined by the finance, con-trollership, or accounting and represents an important filter in the order-entry process. Therefore, it can delay the speed from order entry to fulfillment or even indefinitely interrupt (cancel) the order.

Billing and cash collection are separated by the physical order ful-fillment. That depends on warehousing operations, transport strategy, and distribution policies. The deliver confirmation at customer prem-ises enables the cash-collection process to start. The longer it takes to deliver an accepted order, the higher the impact on the cash flow.

Integrated Perspective

The integration of these cycles enables the company to visualize what is needed for (ideally we should preserve the word “visibility”) efficient cash management of its operations. Figure 1.12 shows sev-eral knowledge management areas within the supply chain that influ-ence the company’s cash-to-cash cycle.

Therefore, it is clear that supply chain management is not only about physical flows. In fact, the supply chain processes should align physical flows and information flows as a strategy to deliver the ulti-mate goal of capital maximization.

To deliver the right product at the right place at the right time with the right quality is necessary, but not enough. None of these add value to the business unless the cash-to-cash cycle delivers the finan-cial results capable of satisfying shareholders. No organization sur-vives without customer satisfaction. Customer satisfaction is a means, a strategy to enhance shareholder value.

The following chapters discuss how each knowledge area described in the SNAR Model contributes to the creation of share-holder value.
