供应链物流管理(supply chain logistics management)鲍尔索克斯 课后习题答案1-6章

供应链物流管理(supply chain logistics management)鲍尔索克斯 课后习题答案1-6章

Chapter1:1.Why can the current movement toward establishing supply chains becharacterized as a revolution?Because the current movement toward establishing supply chains has reshaped contemporary strategic thinking.Two massive shifts, supply chain revolution and a related logistical renaissance, in expectation and practice concerning the performance of business operations are highly interrelated but they are significantly different aspects of contemporary strategic thinking.pare the concept of a modern supply chain with more traditionaldistribution channels. Be specific regarding similarities and differences. Traditional distribution channels typically had an order fulfillment time of 15-30 days. But if something went wrong, this time would increase dramatically. It was a common practice to maintain inventory at every stage of the supply chain like retailers, wholesalers, and manufacturers. The market was characterized by scarcity to the primary goal of traditional model was to ensure availability of products. However, today customers want more options in product offerings. Modern supply chain is geared towards meeting the changing consumer needs. Transportation capacity and operational performance has become more reliable and economical. Logistical systems are capable of capable of delivering products at exact times. So customer orders can be fulfilled faster. With massive development in information technology, the need to maintain inventory has reduced dramatically. The occurrence of failures, characteristic of traditional supply chain, has been replaced by a commitment towards zero-defect of six sigma performance. In essence a high level of performance is achieved at a lower total cost with commitment of fewer financial resources than that in the past.3.What specific role does logistics play in supply chain operations?Logistics is the primary conduit of product and service flow within a supply chain arrangement. It is the work required to move and to position inventory throughout a supply chain. It is a combination of order management, inventory, transportation, warehousing, material handling and packaging as integrated throughout a facility network. Logistics is essential for effective supply chain connectivity.4.Describe “integrative management”. Be specific concerning the relationship betweenfunctionality and process.The challenge to achieving integrated management results from the long-standing tradition of performing and measuring work on a functional basis. Since the industrial revolution, achieving best practice has focused managerial attention on functional specialization. The prevailing belief was the better the performance of a specific function, the greater the efficiency of the overall process.The fundamental challenge of integrated management is to redirect traditional emphasis on functionality in an effort to focus on process achievement. Integrative process management seeks to identify and achieve lowest total cost by capturing trade-offs that exist between functions. The focus of integrated management is lowest total process cost, which is not necessarily the achievement of the lowest cost for each function included in the process.5.In terms of enterprise extension, describe the importance of the information sharingand process specialization paradigms.The information sharing paradigm is the widespread belief that achieving a high degree of cooperative behavior requires that supply chain participants voluntarily share operating information and jointly plan strategies. The guiding principle is that information sharing is essential among supply chain participants to collectively do the things customers demand faster and more efficiently.The process specialization paradigm is commitment to focusing collaborative arrangements on planning joint operations with a goal of eliminating nonproductive or non-value-adding redundancy by firms in a supply chain. The basic idea is to design the overall supply chain processes in a manner that identifies a specific firm’s competencies along with the responsibility and accountability to perform each element of essential work in a manner that maximizes overall results.Importance: Sharing information and joint planning can reduce risk related to inventory positioning. Collaboration can eliminate duplicative or redundant work, such as repetitive quality inspection, by designating and empowering a specified member of the supply chain to be fully responsible and accountable. Such extended enterprise integration introduces new challenges regarding measurement, benefit and risk sharing, trust, leadership, and conflict resolution.6.Describe and illustrate an integrated service provider. How does the conceptof integrated service provider differ from traditional service providers, such as for-hire transportation and warehousing?Integrated Service Providers (ISP) also known as third-party logistics providers provide a range of logistics services that includes all work necessary to service customers. With the regulatory changes in the transportation the traditional logistics services providers started offering warehousing and shared transportation services. Therefore the ISPs initiated the radical shift from single function to multifunction outsourcing. Their services include order entry to product delivery and in certain situations they also provide wide range of value-added services. For example United Parcel Services (UPS) stocks Nike shoes and warm-ups at its Louisville warehouse and processes orders hourly. All the related communication and financial administration are handled by an UPS call center in San Antonio. Therefore UPS handles the basic logistics and value-added services for Nike.In contrast the traditional service providers, such as for-hire transportation and warehousing specialize in specific functions. For instance, the for-hire transportationindustry consists of carriers who specialize in moving products between geographic locations. The companies offering warehouse services are traditionally called public warehouses and they provide storage supplemented by specialized services.pare and contrast anticipatory and response-based business models.Why has responsiveness become popular in supply chain collaborations? Anticipatory and response-based business models are the two ways used by firms to fulfill customer requirements. However the fundamental difference in the two models is timingAnticipatory model has been the traditional business practice, which was mainly forecast driven. Since information about purchasing behavior was not readily available, and the channel partners were loosely collaborating, businesses were driven by forecasts. However the forecasts used by the manufacturers, wholesales, distributors, and retailers were often different that led to a lot of excess inventory in the system. All the work was performed in anticipation of future projections, so the likelihood of misgauging customer requirements was very high. In addition each firm in the chain duplicated the anticipatory process.Response-based model aims to reduce or eliminate forecast reliance by joint planning and rapid exchange of information between supply chain partners. This model has been made possible because managers can now obtain and share accurate sales information faster. Consequently customers can be provided with their desired items faster. This model requires fewer steps and therefore less cost to complete a fulfillment process compared to the anticipatory model. Response-based model is similar to a build to order model however the former has a faster response time and allows higher degree of customization.Responsiveness propelled by information technology development has become the cornerstone of today’s supply chain collaboration. Higher responsiveness can not only increase the level of customer satisfaction but can also reduce the overall cost of doing that.pare and contrast manufacturing and geographic postponement. Manufacturing and geographic postponement are strategies and practices that reduces the anticipatory risks of supply chain performance. The factors favoring one pr the other form depends on the volume, value, competitive initiatives desired customer service levels. Manufacturing or form postponement aims at manufacturing the products one order at a time with no preparatory work or component procurement until the customer specifications are fully known and customer commitment is received. The goal of this postponement strategy is to maintain products in a neutral or non-committed status as long as possible. In an ideal situation a standard or base product is manufactured in large quantities to obtain economy of scale while deferring the finalization until the customer commitment. In this scenario, economy of scope is introduced by producing the base product to accommodate a wide range of different customers. An example of manufacturing postponement is observed in mixing paintcolor at retail stores to accommodate the individual customer’s request. This strategy not only reduces the risks of logistics malfunction but also increases the use of light manufacturing and final assembly at logistical facilitiesOn the other hand, Geographical or logistical postponement focuses on response acceleration. This strategy aims to build and stock a full-line inventory at one or more strategic locations. Forward deployment of inventory is postponed until the customer order is received. In an ideal situation this postponement strategy eliminates the risk of anticipatory risk of inventory deployment while retaining manufacturing economy scale. An example of geographical postponement is the Sears Store Delivery System. The logistics of the appliances is not initiated till the customer order is received. An appliance purchased on Monday can be installed at customer’s home as early as Wednesday. And there is a possibility that the product is not manufactured until that night or early Tuesday.In a number of supply chains both types of postponement strategies are combined to create a highly responsive strategy.9.Define and illustrate cash-to-cash conversion, dwell-time minimization andcash spin. How does supply chain strategy and structure impact each?Cash-to-cash conversion is the time required to convert raw material or inventory purchases into sales revenue. It is directly related to inventory turn. Its benefits are realized by reducing and sharing risk and inventory investment. In traditional business the benefits were enjoyed at the expense of business partners. For example, terms of 2% net 10 meant that a prompt payment discount could be earned if the invoice is paid within ten days from the time of delivery. In a response based system these benefits can be shared by managing the inventory transfer velocity across the supply chain. To facilitate such arrangements supply chain partners often use dead net pricing, which factors discounts and allowances in the selling price. Therefore incentives of timely payment are replaced by performance commitments at a specified net price. Managing supply chain logistics as a continuous synchronized process also serves to reduce dwell time.Dwell time is the ratio of the time that an asset sits idle to the time required to satisfy its designated supply chain mission. As an example dwell time would represent the ratio of the time inventory is in store to the time it is moving or contributing to achieve supply chain objectives. Dwell time can be reduced if the supply chain partners are willing to eliminate duplicate work. Therefore each firm could be designated to perform and be accountable for the value-added work in order to reduce the overall dwell.Cash spin basically refers to free cash spin. This concept aims to reduce the overall assets committed to the supply chain performance. Therefore capital invested on inventory or warehouse can be made available for redeployment by revising the supply chain arrangement. Free capital can be reinvested in other projects that would have otherwise not been considered.10.Discuss and support the following argument: "Supply chain arrangements mayreduce consumer value."A somewhat more abstract but often cited potential downside of supply chain management could be labeled the dark side of collaboration. The argument is that the public does not benefit across the board from supply chain efficiency.Supply chain criticism comes in two parts.First, the line of reasoning is that operating efficiency does not automatically translate to or guarantee lower consumer prices. Firms that collaborate may individually or collectively make larger profits and thereby generate large shareholder wealth. However, no mechanisms exist to guarantee that efficiencies will be passed on to consumers in the form of lower retail prices. In fact, the supporting logic is that as supply chains.The second criticism of supply chain arrangements builds on the premise that operating efficiency may not always be socially equitable. The argument questions the benefits of more precise matching of supply to demand in terms of the overall reduction in surplus goods.Chapter2:1.Illustrate a common trade-off that occurs between the work areas of logistics. Any illustration that demonstrates an inherent trade-off between information, inventory, transportation, warehousing, material handling or packaging is acceptable. The following are a few examples of such trade-offs:Information is increasingly being used as a substitute for inventory. For instance, a warehouse manager that is in constant contact with a supplier of his/her stocks need not hold traditional, high levels of inventory. By being “connected”, the supplier realizes when the warehouse is in need of product and can make accommodations of product processing and shipping accordingly. Improved, faster means of transportation also prevent manufacturers and merchandisers from holding high levels of inventory.Poor packaging can lead to product damage in transit. Management should either improve packaging or seek a transportation mode that is more stable and less damage-inducing. Regardless, greater costs will be incurred upfront – though they are likely to be offset with reduced costs of product recollection and rework.2.Discuss and elaborate the following statement: "The selection of a superiorlocation network can create substantial competitive advantage."The statement “The selection of Superior location network can create sub stantial competitive advantage” holds true with regard to logistical networks. The network design implies customer service and cost considerations. Added value (and perhaps a competitive advantage) may be derived from the “intimacy” of being located near customers. Networks that strive for the highest levels of effectiveness (superior serviceperformance) often do so at significantly higher expense. Networks may also be designed for efficient product flows in order to lower transportation and inventory holding costs. Depending upon the competitive environment in which a firm operates, competitive advantage may result from either being located near the customers to provide superior service or through low cost service with the cost-efficient network design.3.Why are customer-accommodation operations typically more erratic thanmanufacturing support and procurement operations?Market or physical distribution operations are typically more erratic because they are initiated by the customer, whose behavior cannot be controlled by the firm. Manufacturing and procurement operations, on the other hand, are initiated by the firm and considered to be within the firm’s span of control. However, better communications between the logistics organization and customers can reduce the uncertainty and erratic nature of market-distribution operations.4.How has transportation cost, as a percentage of total logistics cost, trackedsince 1980The transportation costs as a percentage of total logistics costs in US has increased over the last 20 years. In 1980, the percentage was approximately 47 percent and this has increased to over 63 percent in 2004. Therefore transportation represents a significant portion of the overall logistics cost.5.Describe the logistics value proposition. Be specific regarding specificcustomer accommodation and cost.Logistical value proposition is a cost framework that aims to match of operating competency and commitment to meet the individual of selected groups of customers’ expectations and requirements. A well-designed logistical network must have high customer response with low operational variance and minimum inventory commitment. However the combinations will be different for different groups. Well designed and operated logistical system can help firms to achieve competitive advantage.6.Describe the fundamental similarities and differences between procurement,manufacturing support and customer-accommodation performance cycles as they relate to logistical control.Procurement performance cycles consist of the many activities that maintain the flow of materials, parts, or finished goods into a manufacturing or distribution facility. The scope of procurement activities is limited. Although similar to the customer order processing cycle, shipments are generally larger and cycles often require much more time. Maintaining raw materials inventory is sometimes less expensive relative to finished goods, since time of delivery and material security is often less sensitive into facility than out to the customer. Another difference is that the number of suppliers of a firm is generally less than the number of customers, making the procurement cycle more direct.Manufacturing support performance cycles serve as the logistics of production. These functions maintain orderly and economic flow of materials and work-in-process inventory to support production schedules. The goal is to support manufacturing requirements in the most efficient manner. These are internal cycles to the firm, thus they are rarely affected by behavioral uncertainty.Customer-accommodation performance cycles are those associated with processing and delivering customer orders. They link the customers through timely and economical product availability. Physical distribution integrates marketing and manufacturing efforts. To improve the effectiveness of the distribution system, forecast accuracy must improve to reduce uncertainty. In addition to the value of sound forecasting methods, the firm must emphasize flexibility and responsiveness to deal with the uncertainty of customers in the physical distribution cycle.pare and contrast a performance cycle node and a link. Give an exampleof each.Nodes are facility locations. Forms of communications and transportation represent links between the nodes. Most logistical work takes place at nodes whereas links represent the interface among locations. Nodes represent network facilities where materials are processed and base inventories and safety stocks are maintained. Inventory that is in between nodes is c alled “in transit”.8.How does the "quest for quality" affect logistical operations? Does theconcept of total quality have relevancy when applied to logistics?Though logistical service quality is often in the eye of the beholder –that is, the definition of quality varies among suppliers and customers, it is possible to pursue a quest for quality. The quest requires logistics organizations to identify the service qualities that customers most highly value. Upon identifying these key dimensions of service, it is up to the firm to flawlessly execute those functions that add value. Ultimately, customers may demand “perfect order” performance, a level of service that requires suppliers to meet expectations without error.The ideals of total quality – namely, doing things right the first time, does find relevance in logistics. It is far better in terms of customer service and low cost to provide customers with desired service on the first effort. Customers more highly value suppliers that meet their promises, delivering product on time, in proper quantities, and without damage. Costs are reduced in the process as fewer products are recollected and reworked. These costs of service or product failure can be eliminated if processes are corrected, ensuring that the problem is not a recurring one. Over time, customers tend to rely on those suppliers that provide sound service time and again.9.Discuss uncertainty as it relates to the overall logistical performance cycle.Discuss and illustrate how performance cycle variance can be controlled.One of the major objectives of logistical management is to reduce the uncertainty in performance cycles. Since the performance cycles are made up of many activities, eachwith its own volatility or variance, variance over the entire cycle can significantly impede the logistics organization’s efficiency and effectiveness.To control variance, the firm must conform expected cycle time to actual cycle time. If cycle time is less than expected, the delivered product becomes inventory to be stored. If the cycle time is longer than expected, then the firm must rely on safety stocks to satisfy customer demand. In either case there are costs associated with variance. The ides is to eliminate variance by equating actual cycle time to the expected cycle time. This may require adjustments in product flows into or out of the organization.10.What is the logic of designing echeloned logistical structures? Can echelonedand direct structures be combined?The echeloned logistical structure is built on the logic of stocking some level of inventory or performing specific activities at consecutive levels of supply chain. This structure utilizes warehouses to create inventory assortments and achieve consolidation economies associated with large volume transportation shipments. The inventory is position to meet the customers’ requirements faster. Typical echelon systems use either break bulk or consolidation warehouses. However the service commitment and order size economies determine the most desirable and economical structure to service the specific customer. So many supply chains use a combination of echeloned and direct structures to meet their logistical needs.Chapter3:1.Explain the differences between transactional and relationship marketing.How do these differences lead to increasing emphasis on logistical performance in supply chain management?Transactional marketing is generally focused towards short-term interaction with customers. Traditional marketing strategies followed this approach wherein exchanges/transactions are carried out with customers in order to increase their revenues and profits.Relationship marketing focuses on the long-term relations with the key supply chain partners such as the consumers, intermediate customers and suppliers. This strategy aims to develop and retain long term preference and loyalty because it has been realized in many industries that it is more important to obtain greater share of the purchases made by the existing customers than to attract new customers. This approach tries to identify the individual customers in order to satisfy their unique needs in the most cost-efficient and effective way. This requires a greater emphasis on logistical performance of the entire supply chain.2.Why are the four primary service outputs of spatial convenience, lot size,waiting time, and product variety important to logistics management?Provide examples of competing firms that differ in the level of each service output provided to customers.Since every customer has different requirements regarding service outputs, spatial convenience, lot size, waiting or delivery time, and product variety represent the four generic outputs to accommodate customer requirements.Spatial convenience measures the amount of shopping time and effort that needs to be out by the customer. Higher convenience is offered by making the product available in more number of places. As an example some household furniture manufacturers offer their products through department store, mass merchandisers and other independent department stores whereas Ethen Allen offers its products only at its own Allen retail stores.Lot size refers to the number of units that can be purchased in each transaction. A customer who wish to buy larger quantity of items for example 12 or 24 rolls of paper towels to get a lower unit price can get it from Sam’s Club and Costco. However they can buy single rolls from grocery or convenient stores. The basic tradeoff in such purchases is between the unit price and the storage or maintenance cost of such volumes.Waiting time is the amount if time a customer has to wait between ordering and receiving products. The lower the waiting time, the higher is the level of service. Buying products from retail or grocery stores has no waiting time however if someone wants to order from a catalog or via the Internet, he has to wait for the product. Although higher waiting time is associated with inconvenience, customers are rewarded in the form of lower prices.Product variety refers to the different assortments or variety offered to the consumers and end-users. Supermarkets offer a large variety of items, whereas the warehouse stores offer a much less variety. And convenience stores offer even lesser variety.3.What is meant by availability in logistics customer service? Provide examples ofthe different ways to monitor a firm’s performance in availability.Availability is the capacity to have inventory when desired by a customer. As simple as this may seem, it is not at all uncommon for an organization to expend considerable time, money, and effort to generate customer demand and then fail to have product available to meet customer requirements. The traditional practice in organizations is to stock inventory in anticipation of customer orders.Availability is based on three performance measures: Stockout Frequency, Fill Rate, and Orders Shipped Complete.Stockout Frequency: For example, a study of retail supermarkets revealed that at any point in time during a week, the average supermarket is out of stock of approximately 8 percent of the items planned to be on the shelves. It is important to note, however, that a stockout does not actually occur until a customer desires a product. The aggregation of all stockouts across all products is an indicator of how well a firm is positioned to provide basic service commitments in product availability. While it does not consider that some products may be more critical in terms of availability than others, it is the starting point in thinking about inventory availability.Fill Rate:For example, if a customer wants 100 units of an item and only 97 are available, the fill rate is 97 percent. To effectively consider fill rate, the typical procedure is to evaluate performance over time to incIude multiple customer orders. Thus, fill rate performance can be evaluated for a specific customer, product, or for any combination of customers, products, or business segments. Fill rate can be used to differentiate the level of service to be offered on specific products. In the earlier example, if all 100 products ordered were critical to a customer, then a fill rate of 97 percent could result in a stockout at the customer's plant or warehouse and severely disrupt the customer's operations. Imagine an assembly line scheduled to produce 100 automobiles that receives only 97 of its required brake assemblies. In situations where some of the items are not critical to performance, a fill rate of 97 percent may be acceptable. The customer may accept a back order or be willing to reorder the short items at a later time. Fill rate strategies need to consider customer requirements for products.Orders Shipped Complete:The most exacting measure of performance in product availability is orders shipped complete. It views having everything that a customer orders as the standard of acceptable performance. Failure to provide even one item on a customer's order results in that order being recorded as zero in terms of complete shipment.pare and contrast speed, consistency, and flexibility as optionalperformance activities. In some situations,is one activity more critical than others?Performance cycle speed is the elapsed time form when a customer establishes a need to order until the product is delivered and is ready for customer use.Speed is an essential ingredient in many just-in-time and quick-response logistical strategies as fast performance cycles reduce customer inventory requirements.Order cycle consistency is measured by the number of times that actual cycles meet the time planned for completion.most logistical managers place greater value on consistency because it directly impacts a customer’s ability to plan and perform is own activities.the issue of consistency is fundamental to effective logistics operations as it is becoming increasingly common for customers to actually specify a desired date and even specify a delivery appointment when placing orders.Flexibility involves a firm’s ability to accommodate special situations and unusual or unexpected customer requests.In some situations,adjustments can be implemented to prevent or accommodate special situations,thereby preventing malfunctions.so one may be more critical than others. 5.Why is perfect order service so difficult to achieve?An order should be delivered complete,delivered on time,at the right location,in perfect condition,with complete and accurate documentation.Each of these individual elements must comply with customer specifications.thus,complete delivery means all product the customer originally requested,on time means at the customer’s specified date and time.ing the ten categories of customer expectations in Table 3-1, develop yourown examples of how customers might evaluate performance of a supplier.。

供应链管理课后习题答案

供应链管理课后习题答案【篇一:供应链管理课后习题答案】xt>第一章1.纵向一体化的企业拥有、管理并运作所有相关的业务职能。

横向一体化的企业由一些独立运营的企业组成,公司总部提供品牌、指导和一般战略。

比较并对比这两种类型企业的供应链战略。

答:纵向一体化企业旨在使公司各业务成分之间的互动更紧密,而且经常集中地管理它们。

这样的结构,可以更容易地通过中央决策除去供应链中的不同部分之间的冲突来实现系统的整体目标。

在横向一体化公司,协调公司内部各业务的供应链通常是没有效益的。

事实上,如果横向一体化中的每个企业都专注于它的核心功能,并以最佳状态运行,就可能达到总体的全局最优效果。

2.考虑一个企业重新设计其物流网络。

为数不多的几个集中仓库的优点是什么?大量靠近最终用户的仓库的优点是什么?司利用风险分担,以提高服务水平并降低库存水平和成本。

不过,对外运输成本通常较高,交货间隔期较长。

另一方面,企业可以通过建立更多的靠近最终用户的仓库,以减少对外运输成本和交货间隔期。

然而,这种类型的系统将会使总库存水平和成本增加、规模经济下降、仓储费用增加,并且可能增加对内运输费用。

3.考虑一个企业选择运输服务提供商。

使用卡车承运商的优点是什么?使用诸如ups这样的包裹速递公司的优点是什么?答:企业对运输服务的选择在很大程度上取决于公司要运输的产品的类型和大小,库存和交付的策略,和对灵活性的需求:1.如果是大量而稳定的运送大件物品或小件物品从仓库到需求点(店),货车运输会更好。

一个很好的例子就是仓库到超市之间的杂货送货。

要注意,在本例中,我们希望的是卡车满载时货物达到卡车装载量。

2.如果由制造商/仓库直接递送顾客的是相对低成本的项目,那么用快递公司更合适。

此外,快递公司可以根据客户的个人需要灵活的提供不同的运输方式。

【篇二:供应链管理考试复习题及答案(给力版)】供应链管理?供应链是围绕核心企业,通过对信息流、物流、资金流的控制,从采购原材料开始,制成中间产品以及最终产品,最后由销售网络把产品送到消费者手中的将供应商、制造商、分销商、零售商、直到最终用户连成一个整体的功能网链结构。

供应链管理实务课后答案

供应链管理实务课后答案

供应链管理实务课后答案1.企业竞争战略与供应链战略的区别?答:价值链是指企业进行的一系列符合特定模式的活动。

或者说,价值链是企业生产的产品或服务增值的环节或链条,价值链中的每项活动都增加了产品或服务的价值。

企业的成功与否与以下因此紧密相连:第一:竞争战略要和所有的职能战略相互匹配以形成协调统一的总体战略。

任何一个部门的职能战略在制定的时候都不是单独考虑的,它必须要支持其他的职能战略,帮助企,业实现最终的竞争战略目标。

第二:企业的各个部门必须合适地配置本部门的流程及资源以保证能够成功的执行这些战略。

第三:整体供应链战略的设计和各阶段的作用必须协调一致,以支持供应链战略。

3,怎样才能使竞争战略与供应链战略更好的匹配?答:要赢得战略匹配,企业必须保证其供应链能力会支持公司满足目标客户群的能力。

赢得这种战略匹配有一下三个基本步骤:第一:理解顾客和供应链不确定性:首先,一家企业必须理解每个目标顾客群的需求,以及在满足这些需求过程中,供应链所面临的不确定性。

这些需求帮助公司决定需求的成本和服务要求。

供应链的不确定性帮助公司确定了供应链必须准备面对的需求量、中断和延迟的不可预知性。

第二:理解供应链能力:供应链有很多种形式,每一种都根据不同的工作要求设计。

一家企业必须了解它的供应链在哪些方面表现卓越。

第三:赢得战略匹配:如果供应链运行出色的方面与期望的顾客需求仍然存在不匹配的地方,企业要毛需要重新配置供应链以支持竞争战略,要毛需要调整竞争战略以支持供应链战略。

4,供应链中有哪些驱动因素,各驱动因素在供应链做的作用、在竞争战略中的作用及其决策因素有哪些。

答:企业实现战略匹配需要在响应性和效率之间寻找适当的平衡,而供应链绩效的物流驱动因素(设施、库存与运输)和跨职能驱动因素(信息、采购与定价)中的每一种因素都有可能会影响到这一平衡。

这些因素互相作用,才能够决定供应链的响应性和效率。

设施的作用:在供应链中的作用是供应链发展到一定阶段就要建设物流基础设施,它们用来存放、装配或制造库存的设备或物品:在竞争战略中的作用是设施所处的地理位置、容量大小、能力高低以及柔性程度都直接影响着供应链的响应性和效率。

【资料汇编】供应链物流管理(supply-chain-logistics-management)鲍尔索克斯-课后习题答案1-6章

Chapter1:1.Why can the current movement toward establishing supply chains becharacterized as a revolution?Because the current movement toward establishing supply chains has reshaped contemporary strategic thinking.Two massive shifts, supply chain revolution and a related logistical renaissance, in expectation and practice concerning the performance of business operations are highly interrelated but they are significantly different aspects of contemporary strategic thinking.pare the concept of a modern supply chain with more traditionaldistribution channels. Be specific regarding similarities and differences.Traditional distribution channels typically had an order fulfillment time of 15-30 days.But if something went wrong, this time would increase dramatically. It was a commonpractice to maintain inventory at every stage of the supply chain like retailers, wholesalers, and manufacturers. The market was characterized by scarcity to the primary goal of traditional model was to ensure availability of products. However, today customers want more options in product offerings. Modern supply chain is geared towards meeting the changing consumer needs. Transportation capacity and operational performance has become more reliable and economical. Logistical systemsare capable of capable of delivering products at exact times. So customer orders can be fulfilled faster. With massive development in information technology, the need to maintain inventory has reduced dramatically. The occurrence of failures, characteristicof traditional supply chain, has been replaced by a commitment towards zero-defect ofsix sigma performance. In essence a high level of performance is achieved at a lower total cost with commitment of fewer financial resources than that in the past.3.What specific role does logistics play in supply chain operations?Logistics is the primary conduit of product and service flow within a supply chain arrangement. It is the work required to move and to position inventory throughout asupply chain. It is a combination of order management, inventory, transportation, warehousing, material handling and packaging as integrated throughout a facility network. Logistics is essential for effective supply chain connectivity.4.Describe “integrative management”. Be specific concerning the relationship betweenfunctionality and process.The challenge to achieving integrated management results from the long-standing tradition of performing and measuring work on a functional basis. Since the industrial revolution, achieving best practice has focused managerial attention on functional specialization. The prevailing belief was the better the performance of a specific function, the greater the efficiency of the overall process.The fundamental challenge of integrated management is to redirect traditional emphasis on functionality in an effort to focus on process achievement. Integrative process management seeks to identify and achieve lowest total cost by capturing trade-offs that exist between functions. The focus of integrated management is lowest total process cost, which is not necessarily the achievement of the lowest cost for each function included in the process.5.In terms of enterprise extension, describe the importance of the information sharingand process specialization paradigms.The information sharing paradigm is the widespread belief that achieving a high degree of cooperative behavior requires that supply chain participants voluntarily share operating information and jointly plan strategies. The guiding principle is that information sharing is essential among supply chain participants to collectively do the things customers demand faster and more efficiently.The process specialization paradigm is commitment to focusing collaborative arrangements on planning joint operations with a goal of eliminating nonproductive or non-value-adding redundancy by firms in a supply chain. The basic idea is to design the overall supply chain processes in a manner that identifies a specific firm’s competencies along with the responsibility and accountability to perform each element of essential work in a manner that maximizes overall results.Importance: Sharing information and joint planning can reduce risk related to inventory positioning. Collaboration can eliminate duplicative or redundant work, such as repetitive quality inspection, by designating and empowering a specified member of the supply chain to be fully responsible and accountable. Such extended enterprise integration introduces new challenges regarding measurement, benefit and risk sharing, trust, leadership, and conflict resolution.6.Describe and illustrate an integrated service provider. How does the conceptof integrated service provider differ from traditional service providers, suchas for-hire transportation and warehousing?Integrated Service Providers (ISP) also known as third-party logistics providers providea range of logistics services that includes all work necessary to service customers. Withthe regulatory changes in the transportation the traditional logistics services providersstarted offering warehousing and shared transportation services. Therefore the ISPs initiated the radical shift from single function to multifunction outsourcing. Their services include order entry to product delivery and in certain situations they also provide wide range of value-added services. For example United Parcel Services (UPS) stocks Nike shoes and warm-ups at its Louisville warehouse and processes orders hourly. All the related communication and financial administration are handled by an UPS call center in San Antonio. Therefore UPS handles the basic logistics and value-added services for Nike.In contrast the traditional service providers, such as for-hire transportation and warehousing specialize in specific functions. For instance, the for-hire transportationindustry consists of carriers who specialize in moving products between geographic locations. The companies offering warehouse services are traditionally called public warehouses and they provide storage supplemented by specialized services.pare and contrast anticipatory and response-based business models.Why has responsiveness become popular in supply chain collaborations?Anticipatory and response-based business models are the two ways used by firms to fulfill customer requirements. However the fundamental difference in the two models istimingAnticipatory model has been the traditional business practice, which was mainly forecast driven. Since information about purchasing behavior was not readily available,and the channel partners were loosely collaborating, businesses were driven by forecasts. However the forecasts used by the manufacturers, wholesales, distributors, and retailers were often different that led to a lot of excess inventory in the system. Allthe work was performed in anticipation of future projections, so the likelihood of misgauging customer requirements was very high. In addition each firm in the chain duplicated the anticipatory process.Response-based model aims to reduce or eliminate forecast reliance by joint planningand rapid exchange of information between supply chain partners. This model has beenmade possible because managers can now obtain and share accurate sales information faster. Consequently customers can be provided with their desired items faster. This model requires fewer steps and therefore less cost to complete a fulfillment process compared to the anticipatory model. Response-based model is similar to a build to ordermodel however the former has a faster response time and allows higher degree of customization.Responsiveness propelled by information technology development has become the cornerstone of today’s supply chain collaboration. Higher responsiveness can not only increase the level of customer satisfaction but can also reduce the overall cost of doingthat.pare and contrast manufacturing and geographic postponement.Manufacturing and geographic postponement are strategies and practices that reducesthe anticipatory risks of supply chain performance. The factors favoring one pr the otherform depends on the volume, value, competitive initiatives desired customer service levels. Manufacturing or form postponement aims at manufacturing the products one order at a time with no preparatory work or component procurement until the customer specifications are fully known and customer commitment is received. The goalof this postponement strategy is to maintain products in a neutral or non-committed status as long as possible. In an ideal situation a standard or base product is manufactured in large quantities to obtain economy of scale while deferring the finalization until the customer commitment. In this scenario, economy of scope is introduced by producing the base product to accommodate a wide range of different customers. An example of manufacturing postponement is observed in mixing paintcolor at retail stores to accommodate the individual customer’srequest. This strategy not only reduces the risks of logistics malfunction but also increases the use of light manufacturing and final assembly at logistical facilitiesOn the other hand, Geographical or logistical postponement focuses on response acceleration. This strategy aims to build and stock a full-line inventory at one or more strategic locations. Forward deployment of inventory is postponed until the customer order is received. In an ideal situation this postponement strategy eliminates the riskof anticipatory risk of inventory deployment while retaining manufacturing economy scale. An example of geographical postponement is the Sears Store Delivery System. The logistics of the appliances is not initiated till the customer order is received. An appliance purchased on Monday can be installed at customer’shome as early as Wednesday. And there is a possibility that the product is not manufactured until that night or early Tuesday.In a number of supply chains both types of postponement strategies are combined to create a highly responsive strategy.9.Define and illustrate cash-to-cash conversion, dwell-time minimization andcash spin. How does supply chain strategy and structure impact each?Cash-to-cash conversion is the time required to convert raw material or inventory purchases into sales revenue. It is directly related to inventory turn. Its benefits are realized by reducing and sharing risk and inventory investment. In traditional businessthe benefits were enjoyed at the expense of business partners. For example, terms of 2%net 10 meant that a prompt payment discount could be earned if the invoice is paid within ten days from the time of delivery. In a response based system these benefits canbe shared by managing the inventory transfer velocity across the supply chain. To facilitate such arrangements supply chain partners often use dead net pricing, which factors discounts and allowances in the selling price. Therefore incentives of timely payment are replaced by performance commitments at a specified net price. Managing supply chain logistics as a continuous synchronized process also serves to reduce dwell time.Dwell time is the ratio of the time that an asset sits idle to the time required to satisfyits designated supply chain mission. As an example dwell time would represent the ratio of the time inventory is in store to the time it is moving or contributing to achievesupply chain objectives. Dwell time can be reduced if the supply chain partners are willing to eliminate duplicate work. Therefore each firm could be designated to performand be accountable for the value-added work in order to reduce the overall dwell.Cash spin basically refers to free cash spin. This concept aims to reduce the overall assets committed to the supply chain performance. Therefore capital invested on inventory or warehouse can be made available for redeployment by revising the supplychain arrangement. Free capital can be reinvested in other projects that would have otherwise not been considered.10.Discuss and support the following argument: "Supply chain arrangements mayreduce consumer value."A somewhat more abstract but often cited potential downside of supply chainmanagement could be labeled the dark side of collaboration. The argument is that thepublic does not benefit across the board from supply chain efficiency.Supply chain criticism comes in two parts.First, the line of reasoning is that operating efficiency does not automatically translate toor guarantee lower consumer prices. Firms that collaborate may individually orcollectively make larger profits and thereby generate large shareholder wealth.However, no mechanisms exist to guarantee that efficiencies will be passed on toconsumers in the form of lower retail prices. In fact, the supporting logic is that assupply chains.The second criticism of supply chain arrangements builds on the premise that operatingefficiency may not always be socially equitable. The argument questions the benefits ofmore precise matching of supply to demand in terms of the overall reduction in surplusgoods.Chapter2:1.Illustrate a common trade-off that occurs between the work areas of logistics.Any illustration that demonstrates an inherent trade-off between information, inventory,transportation, warehousing, material handling or packaging is acceptable. Thefollowing are a few examples of such trade-offs:Information is increasingly being used as a substitute for inventory. For instance, awarehouse manager that is in constant contact with a supplier of his/her stocks neednot hold traditional, high levels of inventory. By being “connected”, the supplier r when the warehouse is in need of product and can make accommodations of productprocessing and shipping accordingly. Improved, faster means of transportation alsoprevent manufacturers and merchandisers from holding high levels of inventory.Poor packaging can lead to product damage in transit. Management should eitherimprove packaging or seek a transportation mode that is more stable and lessdamage-inducing. Regardless, greater costs will be incurred upfront – though they arelikely to be offset with reduced costs of product recollection and rework.2.Discuss a nd elaborate the following statement: "The selection o f a superiorlocation network can create substantial competitive advantage."The statement “The selection of Superior location network can create sub stantialholds true with regard to logistical networks. The networkcompetitive advantage” design implies customer service and cost considerations. Added value (and perhaps aof being located nearcompetitive advantage) may be derived from the “intimacy” customers. Networks that strive for the highest levels of effectiveness (superior serviceperformance) often do so at significantly higher expense. Networks may also bedesigned for efficient product flows in order to lower transportation and inventoryholding costs. Depending upon the competitive environment in which a firm operates,competitive advantage may result from either being located near the customers toprovide superior service or through low cost service with the cost-efficient networkdesign.3.Why are customer-accommodation operations typically more erratic thanmanufacturing support and procurement operations?Market or physical distribution operations are typically more erratic because they areinitiated by the customer, whose behavior cannot be controlled by the firm. Manufacturing and procurement operations, on the other hand, are initiated by the firmand considered to be within the firm’s span of control. However, better communications between the logistics organization and customers can reduce the uncertainty and erraticnature of market-distribution operations.4.How has transportation cost, as a percentage of total logistics c ost, trackedsince 1980The transportation costs as a percentage of total logistics costs in US has increased overthe last 20 years. In 1980, the percentage was approximately 47 percent and this hasincreased to over 63 percent in 2004. Therefore transportation represents a significantportion of the overall logistics cost.5.Describe the logistics value proposition. Be specific regarding specificcustomer accommodation and cost.Logistical value proposition is a cost framework that aims to match of operating competency and commitment to meet the individual of selected groups of customers’ expectations and requirements. A well-designed logistical network must have highcustomer response with low operational variance and minimum inventory commitment.However the combinations will be different for different groups. Well designed andoperated logistical system can help firms to achieve competitive advantage.6.Describe the fundamental similarities and differences between procurement,manufacturing support and customer-accommodation performance cycles asthey relate to logistical control.Procurement performance cycles consist of the many activities that maintain the flowof materials, parts, or finished goods into a manufacturing or distribution facility. Thescope of procurement activities is limited. Although similar to the customer order processing cycle, shipments are generally larger and cycles often require much moretime. Maintaining raw materials inventory is sometimes less expensive relative tofinished goods, since time of delivery and material security is often less sensitive intofacility than out to the customer. Another difference is that the number of suppliers of afirm is generally less than the number of customers, making the procurement cyclemore direct.Manufacturing support performance cycles serve as the logistics of production.These functions maintain orderly and economic flow of materials and work-in-processinventory to support production schedules. The goal is to support manufacturing requirements in the most efficient manner. These are internal cycles to the firm, thusthey are rarely affected by behavioral uncertainty.Customer-accommodation performance cycles are those associated with processingand delivering customer orders. They link the customers through timely and economicalproduct availability. Physical distribution integrates marketing and manufacturingefforts. To improve the effectiveness of the distribution system, forecast accuracy mustimprove to reduce uncertainty. In addition to the value of sound forecasting methods,the firm must emphasize flexibility and responsiveness to deal with the uncertainty ofcustomers in the physical distribution cycle.pare and contrast a performance cycle node and a link. Give an exampleof each.Nodes are facility locations. Forms of communications and transportation representlinks between the nodes. Most logistical work takes place at nodes whereas linksrepresent the interface among locations. Nodes represent network facilities wherematerials are processed and base inventories and safety stocks are maintained.Inventory that is in between nodes is c alled “in transit”.8.How does the "quest for quality" affect logistical operations? Does theconcept of total quality have relevancy when applied to logistics?Though logistical service quality is often in the eye of the beholder –that is, thedefinition of quality varies among suppliers and customers, it is possible to pursue aquest for quality. The quest requires logistics organizations to identify the servicequalities that customers most highly value. Upon identifying these key dimensions ofservice, it is up to the firm to flawlessly execute those functions that add value. Ultimately, customers may demand “perfect order” performance, a level of service that requires suppliers to meet expectations without error.The ideals of total quality – namely, doing things right the first time, does find relevancein logistics. It is far better in terms of customer service and low cost to providecustomers with desired service on the first effort. Customers more highly valuesuppliers that meet their promises, delivering product on time, in proper quantities, andwithout damage. Costs are reduced in the process as fewer products are recollected andreworked. These costs of service or product failure can be eliminated if processes arecorrected, ensuring that the problem is not a recurring one. Over time, customers tendto rely on those suppliers that provide sound service time and again.9.Discuss uncertainty as it relates to the overall logistical performance cycle.Discuss and illustrate how performance cycle variance can be controlled.One of the major objectives of logistical management is to reduce the uncertainty in performance cycles. Since the performance cycles are made up of many activities, eachwith its own volatility or variance, variance over the entire cycle can significantly impede the logistics organization’s efficiency and effectiveness.To control variance, the firm must conform expected cycle time to actual cycle time. Ifcycle time is less than expected, the delivered product becomes inventory to be stored. Ifthe cycle time is longer than expected, then the firm must rely on safety stocks to satisfy customer demand. In either case there are costs associated with variance. The ides is to eliminate variance by equating actual cycle time to the expected cycle time. This may require adjustments in product flows into or out of the organization.10.What is the logic of designing echeloned logistical structures? Can echelonedand direct structures be combined?The echeloned logistical structure is built on the logic of stocking some level of inventory or performing specific activities at consecutive levels of supply chain. This structure utilizes warehouses to create inventory assortments and achieve consolidation economies associated with large volume transportation shipments. Therequirements faster. Typical echelon inventory is position to meet the customers’ systems use either break bulk or consolidation warehouses. However the service commitment and order size economies determine the most desirable and economical structure to service the specific customer. So many supply chains use a combination of echeloned and direct structures to meet their logistical needs.Chapter3:1.Explain the differences between transactional and relationship marketing.How do these differences lead to increasing emphasis on logistical performance in supply chain management?Transactional marketing is generally focused towards short-term interaction with customers. Traditional marketing strategies followed this approach wherein exchanges/transactions are carried out with customers in order to increase their revenues and profits.Relationship marketing focuses on the long-term relations with the key supply chain partners such as the consumers, intermediate customers and suppliers. This strategy aims to develop and retain long term preference and loyalty because it has been realizedin many industries that it is more important to obtain greater share of the purchases made by the existing customers than to attract new customers. This approach tries toidentify the individual customers in order to satisfy their unique needs in the most cost-efficient and effective way. This requires a greater emphasis on logistical performance of the entire supply chain.2.Why are the four primary service outputs of spatial convenience, l ot size,waiting time, and product variety important to logistics management?Provide examples of competing firms that differ in the level of each service output provided to customers.Since every customer has different requirements regarding service outputs, spatialconvenience, lot size, waiting or delivery time, and product variety represent the fourgeneric outputs to accommodate customer requirements.Spatial convenience measures the amount of shopping time and effort that needs to beout by the customer. Higher convenience is offered by making the product available inmore number of places. As an example some household furniture manufacturers offertheir products through department store, mass merchandisers and other independentdepartment stores whereas Ethen Allen offers its products only at its own Allen retailstores.Lot size refers to the number of units that can be purchased in each transaction. Acustomer who wish to buy larger quantity of items for example 12 or 24 rolls of papertowels to get a lower unit price can get it from Sam’s Club and Costco. However they can buy single rolls from grocery or convenient stores. The basic tradeoff in such purchasesis between the unit price and the storage or maintenance cost of such volumes.Waiting time is the amount if time a customer has to wait between ordering andreceiving products. The lower the waiting time, the higher is the level of service. Buyingproducts from retail or grocery stores has no waiting time however if someone wants toorder from a catalog or via the Internet, he has to wait for the product. Although higherwaiting time is associated with inconvenience, customers are rewarded in the form oflower prices.Product variety refers to the different assortments or variety offered to the consumersand end-users. Supermarkets offer a large variety of items, whereas the warehousestores offer a much less variety. And convenience stores offer even lesser variety.3.What is meant by availability in logistics customer service? Provide examples ofthe different ways to monitor a firm’s performance in availability.Availability is the capacity to have inventory when desired by a customer. As simple asthis may seem, it is not at all uncommon for an organization to expend considerable time,money, and effort to generate customer demand and then fail to have product availableto meet customer requirements. The traditional practice in organizations is to stockinventory in anticipation of customer orders.Availability is based on three performance measures: Stockout Frequency, Fill Rate, andOrders Shipped Complete.Stockout Frequency: For example, a study of retail supermarkets revealed that at anypoint in time during a week, the average supermarket is out of stock of approximately 8percent of the items planned to be on the shelves. It is important to note, however, that astockout does not actually occur until a customer desires a product. The aggregation ofall stockouts across all products is an indicator of how well a firm is positioned toprovide basic service commitments in product availability. While it does not considerthat some products may be more critical in terms of availability than others, it is thestarting point in thinking about inventory availability.Fill Rate:For example, if a customer wants 100 units of an item and only 97 are available, the fill rate is 97 percent. To effectively consider fill rate, the typical procedureis to evaluate performance over time to incIude multiple customer orders. Thus, fill rate performance can be evaluated for a specific customer, product, or for any combinationof customers, products, or business segments. Fill rate can be used to differentiate thelevel of service to be offered on specific products. In the earlier example, if all 100 products ordered were critical to a customer, then a fill rate of 97 percent could result ina stockout at the customer's plant or warehouse and severely disrupt the customer's operations. Imagine an assembly line scheduled to produce 100 automobiles that receives only 97 of its required brake assemblies. In situations where some of the itemsare not critical to performance, a fill rate of 97 percent may be acceptable. The customermay accept a back order or be willing to reorder the short items at a later time. Fill rate strategies need to consider customer requirements for products.Orders Shipped Complete:The most exacting measure of performance in product availability is orders shipped complete. It views having everything that a customer orders as the standard of acceptable performance. Failure to provide even one item on a customer's order results in that order being recorded as zero in terms of complete shipment.pare and contrast speed, consistency, and flexibility as optionalperformance activities. In some situations,is o ne activity more critical than others?Performance cycle speed is the elapsed time form when a customer establishes a needto order until the product is delivered and is ready for customer use.Speed is an essential ingredient in many just-in-time and quick-response logistical strategies as fast performance cycles reduce customer inventory requirements.Order cycle consistency is measured by the number of times that actual cycles meetthe time planned for completion.most logistical managers place greater value on consistency because it directly impacts a customer’s ability to plan and perform is own activities.the issue of consistency is fundamental to effective logistics operations as it is becoming increasingly common for customers to actually specify a desired date and even specify a delivery appointment when placing orders.Flexibility involves a firm’s ability to accommodate special situations and unusual or unexpected customer requests.In some situations,adjustments can be implemented to prevent or accommodate special situations,thereby preventing malfunctions.so one may be more critical than others.5.Why is perfect order service so difficult to achieve?An order should be delivered complete,delivered on time,at the right location,in perfect condition,with complete and accurate documentation.Each of these individual elementsmust comply with customer specifications.thus,complete delivery means all product the customer originally requested,on time means at the customer’s specified date and time.ing t he ten categories o f customer e xpectations in T able 3-1, develop yourown examples of how customers might evaluate performance of a supplier.。

对顾客订单的反应启动拉动流程;对顾客订购预期的反应启动推动流程。

在拉动流程执行过程中,需求是已知的、确定的;而在推动流程执行过程中,需求是未知的,因此必须进行预测。

由于拉动流程是对顾客需求的反应,因而也可以被视为反应性流程;相应地,推动流程可以被视为推测性流程。

供应链上的推/拉边界将推动流程和拉动流程区别开来。

在戴尔公司,个人计算机组装线的起点就是推/拉边界。

考虑自身资源状况和以往的知识储备、行业现状及特点、竞争对手的实力状态及对比情况、关联领域的影响、潜在竞争者及替代者的演变前景,明确自身努力的方向和目标。

2)集中资源,将资源集中与企业选定的一项或某几项目标业务领域,以便在最大程度上发挥资源效用,增强特定的竞争优势,形成核心竞争力;3)动态学习。

企业员工及组织所拥有的知识技能是重要的无形资产,要坚持动态持续的学习、提高知识技能的积累和储备。

4、价值链分析在构建企业供应链中的作用:企业可以更好的锁定目标,集中内外资源构建自己的核心竞争力,并通过不断的动态学习过程,将核心竞争力的刚性转为柔性,保持企业的核心竞争力。

5、企业进行业务外包时可能遇到的问题:1)通常将不产生核心能力的业务放在外包之列,而把主要精力和资源集中在核心能力的培育、保持和发展上2)增加企业责任外移的可能性3)员工问题4)信息滞后,跟不上那个时代发展步伐5)带来企业在交叉职能上的损失6)企业丧失对供应商的控制第三章1、SCM战略的关注点:企业或服务在企业内部和整个供应链中运动的流程所创造的市场价值给企业增加的竞争优势,将自己的能力与供应链成员中的生产资源和创新知识整合起来。

2.SCM战略与竞争战略匹配拓展范围分为4类:企业经营部门内;企业职能部门内;企业职能部门间;企业间、职能部门间第四章1、供应链合作伙伴关系:在供应链内部,两个或两个以上独立的成员之间,形成的一种协调关系,以保证实现某个特定的目标或效益2、建立供应链合作伙伴关系的驱动因素:核心竞争力、不断变化的顾客期望、外包战略3、简述供应链关系代理的理论基础:一、合作协商与委托代理,二、发挥群体协商机制的作用,三、委托——代理关系中的问题四、委托——代理理论4、供应链企业间的委托-代理关系有哪些特征:1)供应链企业间是一种“合作竞争”关系2)供应链企业间的委托代理问题是多阶段动态模型3)供应链企业间的委托代理是多任务委托代理5、选择供应链合作伙伴的原则:1)工艺与技术的连贯性2)企业的业绩与经营状况3)有效的交流和信息共享4)合作伙伴在于精而不在多6、选择供应链合作伙伴的方法:直观判断法招标法协商选择法层次分析法ABC成本法神经网络算法7、供应链合作伙伴选择的步骤:1)合作伙伴的粗筛选从企业战略的角度来检验是否需要建立供应商合作关系,以及建立哪个层次的供应商合作关系2)合作伙伴的细筛选确定挑选合作伙伴的准则,评估潜在的候选企业。

3)合作伙伴的精炼和确认正式建立合作伙伴关系4)合作伙伴的跟踪评价维持和精炼合作伙伴关系,包括增强彼此间的合作关系或解除合作伙伴关系。

8、如何对供应链合作伙伴评价:1)需求和必要性分析2)确立合作伙伴的选择目标3)建立合作伙伴评价标准4) 建立评价小组5) 合作伙伴参与6)评价供应链合作伙伴7)实施供应链合作关系9、建立合作伙伴关系需要注意的问题:1)相互信任2) 信息共享3) 权责明确4)解决合作伙伴之间问题的方法和态度第五章1、供应链构建的一般原则:1)自上向下和自下向上相结合的设计原则2)简洁性原则3)集优原则(互补性原则)4)协调性原则5)动态性(不确定性)原则6)创新原则7)战略性原则2、供应链设计包括哪几方面的内容:1)供应链成员及合作伙伴选择,供应链中一级级叠加起来的成员。

总数可能会很大,所以这样的供应链是非常复杂的2)网络结构设计,供应链网络结构主要由供应链成员、网络结构变量和供应链间工序连接方式三方面组成。

3)供应链运行基本规则主要内容包括:协调机制、信息开放与交互方式、生产物流的计划与控制体系、库存的总体布局、资金结算方式、争议解决机制等。

3、供应链设计的策略有几项,各自针对怎样的情况:1)基于客户需求的供应链设计策略,适用高边际利润、不稳定需求的革新性产品;低边际利润、有稳定需求的功能性产品;2)基于成本核算的供应链设计策略4、供应链网络设计的一般步骤:1)明确供应链战略2)明确地区性设施的构架3)选择合适的地点4)选择布局区位5、供应链网络的基本结构:1)简单的链状结构:供应商1供应商2核心企业分销商零售商用户2)网链状结构,以核心企业为中心,各自发挥自己的核心竞争能力,结合成相互协作、互补、互惠、双赢、共享资源的集成体3)网状结构,一核心企业为中心来看,核心企业与供应商、核心企业与分销商之间呈一对多的关系、诸多核心企业、供应商、分销商组合起来,关系交叉,构成网状拓扑,情况复杂6、供应链网络设计的影响因素:1)战略性因素2)技术因素3)宏观经济因素:关税与税收减让,汇率与需求风险4)政治因素5)基础设施因素6)竞争性因素:企业间的积极外部性,为瓜分市场面布局7)为顾客需求的反应时间8)物流和设施成本:运输成本,设施(建设和运营)成本,库存成本第六章1即时制采购是什么,与传统采购的区别:准时采购也叫J I T采购法,是一种先进的采购模式,是一种管理哲理。

它的基本思想是:在恰当的时间、恰当的地点、以恰当的数量、恰当的质量提供恰当的物品。

与传统采购的比较:1)对供应商数量的选择不同:传统,对头采购;即时,较少供应商2)对交货的即时性要求不同3)对供应商选择的标准不同4)指定采购批量的策略不同5)对送货和包装的要求不同6)对信息交流的需求不同2、即时制采购带来的问题及解决的办法:1)小批量采购带来的问题及解决办法:使供应商在地理位置靠近制造商;供应商在制造商附近建立临时仓库;有一个专门的承包运输商活第三方负责企业负责送货;让一个供应商负责供应多种原材料和外购件2)采用单源供应带来的风险,包括供应商有可能因意外原因中断供货,单源供应使企业不能得到竞争性的采购价格,对供应商依赖过大;办法:制造商与供应商建立长期互利合作的新型关系。

3、评价供应商的主要指标:1)短期标准:商品质量合适;成本低;交货及时;整体服务水平好,履行合同的承诺和能力2)供应商的财务状况是否稳定;供应商内部组织与管理是否良好;供应商人员是否稳定4、供应商绩效考核的指标体系包括哪些内容:1)质量指标;供应指标;经济指标;支持、配合与服务指标第七章1、供应链生产管理的特点:一、决策环境特点1)决策信息多源化2)群体决策3)信息反馈机制多样化4)计划运行环境的动态变化;二、生产计划制定的特点:1)具有纵向与横向的信息集成过程2)加强了能力平衡在计划中的作用2、面向供应链的生产组织计划模式:实施:1)计划制定:1>以销定产,建立主生产计划2>编制日装配计划,将生产任务细化到日3>指定物料需求计划,保证零部件配套4>计划修正2)计划执行:1>依靠计算机网络,全面了解生产信息2>建立在线分析处理系统3>指定信息录入制度,确保信息的准确性3)计划控制:1>生产异常控制2>生产进度控制4)计划考核3生产延迟的含义:生产延迟主张根据订单安排生产产品,在获知客户的精确要求和购买意向之前,不作任何准备工作(如采购部件)。

第八章1、供应链环境下的物流管理特征:1)信息——共享2)过程——同步3)合作——互利4)交货——准时5)响应——敏捷6)服务——满意2、影响运输决策的因素:1)影响承运人决策的因素:与交通工具相关的成本,固定运输成本,与运距有关的成本,与运量有关的成本,运营成本2)影响托运人决策的因素:运输成本,库存成本,设施成本,作业成本,服务水平成本4、供应链中库存控制问题:1)缺乏供应链的系统观念2)对客户服务水平理解上的偏差3)缺乏准确的交货状态信息4)低效率的信息传递系统5)忽略不确定性对库存的影响6)缺乏合作和协调7)库存控制策略简单化8)忽略了产品流程设计的影响5、供应链中的需求变异放大原理产生的原因:需求信息的不真实性沿着供应链牛流而上,逐级放大,达到源头的供应商时,其获得的的需求信息和实际消费市场中的顾客需求信息发生了很大的偏差,是需求信息扭曲的结果。

6、VMI的基本思想:突破传统的条块分割的库存管理模式,以系统的、集成的管理思想进行库存管理,使供应链系统能够获得同步化的操作。

如何实施VMI:1)建立顾客信息系统2)建立销售网络管理系统3)建立供应商与分销商的合作框架协议4)组织机构的变革7、JMI的基本思想:一种基于协调中心的库存管理方法,各个分销商把其库存中的一部分交给分销中心负责,从而减轻各个分销商的库存压力。
