11-1 Chapter 10: Coordinated Product and Supply Chain Design
11.1A General framework Two distinct chains in organizations The supply chain which focuses on the flow of physical products from suppliers through manufacturing and distribution all the way to retail outlets and customers. and The development chain which focuses on new product introduction and involves product architecture, make/buy decisions, earlier supplier involvement, strategic partnering supplier footprint and supply contracts 11-2
11-2 11.1 A General Framework ⚫ Two distinct chains in organizations: ⚫ The supply chain which focuses on the flow of physical products from suppliers through manufacturing and distribution all the way to retail outlets and customers, and ⚫ The development chain which focuses on new product introduction and involves product architecture, make/buy decisions, earlier supplier involvement, strategic partnering, supplier footprint and supply contracts
Key Characteristics of Supply Chain o Demand uncertainty and variability, in particular, the bullwhip effect Economies of scale in production and transportation o Lead time, in particular due to globalization
11-3 Key Characteristics of Supply Chain ⚫ Demand uncertainty and variability, in particular, the bullwhip effect ⚫ Economies of scale in production and transportation ⚫ Lead time, in particular due to globalization
Key Characteristics of Development Chain o Technology clock speed Speed by which technology changes in a particular industr ●Make/ Buy decisions o Decisions on what to make internally and what to buy from outside suppliers ● Product structure Level of modularity or integrality in a product Modular product assembled from a variety of modules each module may have several options Bulk of manufacturing can be completed before the selection of modules and assembly into the final product takes place
