供应链管理课后习题答案

供应链管理课后习题答案第一章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?答:少数位于市中心的仓库,允许公司利用风险分担,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。

4.企业库存水平较高有什么优点?有什么缺点?库存水平低有什么优点和缺点?答:1.高库存水平i. 优点:订单满足率(服务水平)高和订单执行快速。

Chapter 3: Customer Relationship Management Study Questions1.Explain the differences between transactional and relationship marketing. How do these differenceslead 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 productvariety 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 Ethan Allen offers its products only at its own retail stores.Lot size refers to the number of units that can be purchased in each transaction. A customer who wishes 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.ing the ten categories of customer expectations in Table 3-2, develop your own examples of howcustomers might evaluate performance of a supplier.Reliability refers to performance of all activities by the supplier. If FedEx promises overnight delivery and fails to do that, then it will be considered unreliable, even if it is done faster than any other provider. Customers can judge reliability in terms of all aspects of basic service platform.Responsiveness refers to the customer’s expectation of the ability and willingness to provide timely service. If WalM art experiences a stockout of certain product, its supplier’s responsiveness will be measured by the tim e it takes for replenishment.Access measures the ease of contact and approachability of the supplier. For example the ease of obtaining information about the status of a pending order will measure accessibility.Communication means to proactively keeping the customer informed. If the supplier expects a shortage of raw material that can affect delivery in the future, an advance notice to the customer will not only help to explore alternative but also builds a stronger partnership.Credibility refers to the customer’s expectation that the communication from the suppliers will be believable and honest. The real essence of this measure is the completeness of the information.Security refers to the customer’s feeling of risk in doing business with a supplier. For example a customer bases its production schedule in anticipation of delivery. If the supply is delayed the customer faces the risk of changing its plans. Another aspect of security concerns the confidentiality of business dealings. For example, Solectron undertakes the manufacturing for competitors like Nortel and Cisco, so confidentiality is a major issue.Courtesy involves politeness, friendliness and respect of contact person. Since the customer may have to deal with different individuals in the supp lier’s organization, failure by one person can destroy the best efforts of all the others.Competency is judged by customers in every interaction with the suppliers. Therefore a truck driver’s competency is measured when deliveries are made, customer service personnel when phone calls are made, etc. Failure by any individual can affect the customer’s perception of the supplier.Tangibles refer to the customer’s expectation of the physical appearance of facilities, equipment and personnel. For example an old and dilapidated warehouse can be an indicator of the firm’s overall performance to the customers.Knowing the customer refers to the customer’s expectation regarding supplier’s understanding of their unique requirements and supplier willingness to adapt to those needs. For example WalMart would expect its suppliers to understand its unique need and respond to that accordingly.pare and contrast the customer service, customer satisfaction, and customer success philosophiesof supply chain management.Customer service, customer satisfaction, and customer represent three levels of customer accommodation.Customer service represents logistics role in fulfilling the marketing concept. It aims to provide the right amount of the right product at the right time at the right place in the right condition at the right price with right information. The fundamental attributes of customer service are availability, operational performance, and service reliability. Customer satisfaction measures the degree to which a customer is satisfied with the supplier’s performance. However, customer satisfactions depends on the customer’s expectations. Models have been developed to identify some of the gaps that arise due the failure of many firms to satisfy their customers.Customer success philosophy requires the firms to work very closely with the customers to understand their requirements, internal processes, competitive environment and try to make their customer successful. In contrast to the typical focus of basic service and satisfaction programs to meet standards and expectations of the customers, a customer success program tries to understand the entire supply chain, different levels of customers and tries to ensure that customer at each level is able to meet their customers.5.What is meant by value-added services? Why are these services considered essential in a customersuccess program?Value added services refer to the unique and specific activities that firms can jointly perform to enhance their efficiency and effectiveness. Such services foster customer success. These services are typically customer specific and therefore cannot be generalized. These services enable the customers to achieve their specific objectives. These are considered essential in customer service programs because by providing unique product packages, creating customized unit loads, offering unique information services, providing VMI, etc, firms enhance their customers’ success. Some of the value-added services like warehousing, transportation, proper sequencing and sorting of products involve specialists due to their flexibility and capability to concentrate on providing the required services.6. Explain the customer satisfaction “gaps” shown in Figure 3.1.The knowledge gap reflects management’s lack of knowledge or understanding of customers’ real expectations.The standards gap exists when internal performance standards do not accurately reflect those expectations.The performance gap arises when actual performance does not meet the standards for performance.Communications gaps exist when the firm does not meet its promises or commitments to customers. The perception gap exists when customers inaccurately perceive the actual performance of the firm. The satisfaction/quality gap arises when the custo mer’s perception of that performance is different from the performance that they expected.。

ModerateEssay/Problems1.List and define the four major drivers of supply chain performance.Answer: Facilities are the places in the supply chain network whereproduct is stored, assembled, or fabricated. The two major types offacilities are production sites and storage sites.Inventory is all raw materials, work in process, and finished goodswithin a supply chain. Inventory is an important supply chain driverbecause changing inventory policies can dramatically alter the supply chain’s efficie ncy and responsiveness.Transportation entails moving inventory from point to point in thesupply chain. Transportation can take the form of many combinations of modes and routes.Information consists of data and analysis concerning facilities,inventory, transportation, and customers throughout the supply chain.Information is potentially the biggest driver of performance in thesupply chain as it directly affects each of the other drivers.Difficulty: Moderate2.Explain the supply chain decision-making framework and the role of thefour major drivers.Answer: The goal of a supply chain strategy is to strike the balancebetween responsiveness and efficiency, resulting in a strategic fit with the competitive strategy. To reach this goal, a company uses the foursupply chain drivers discussed earlier. For each of the individualdrivers, supply chain managers must make a trade-off between efficiency and responsiveness. The combined impact of these four drivers thendetermines the responsiveness and efficiency of the entire supply chain.Most companies begin with a competitive strategy and then decide whattheir supply chain strategy ought to be. The supply chain strategydetermines how the supply chain should perform with respect toefficiency and responsiveness. The supply chain must then use the supply chain drivers to reach the performance level the supply chain strategydictates.Difficulty: Moderate3.Explain the basic trade-off between responsiveness and efficiency foreach of the major drivers of supply chain performance.Answer: The fundamental trade-off when making facilities decisions isbetween the cost of the number, location, and type of facilities(efficiency) and the level of responsiveness that these facilitiesprovide the company’s customers.The fundamental trade-off when making inventory decisions is betweenresponsiveness and efficiency. Increasing inventory will generally make the supply chain more responsive to the customer. This choice, however, comes at a cost as the added inventory decreases efficiency. Therefore,a supply chain manager can use inventory as one of the drivers forreaching the level of responsiveness and efficiency the competitivestrategy targets.The fundamental trade-off for transportation is between the cost oftransporting a given product (efficiency) and the speed with which that product is transported (responsiveness). The transportation choiceinfluences other drivers such as inventory and facilities. When supplychain managers think about making transportation decisions, they framethe decision in terms of this trade-off.Good information systems can help a firm improve both its responsiveness and efficiency. The information driver is used to improve theperformance of other drivers and the use of information is based on the strategic position the other drivers support. Accurate information canhelp a firm improve efficiency by decreasing inventory andtransportation costs. Accurate information can improve responsiveness by helping a supply chain better match supply and demand.Difficulty: Moderate4.Explain the role of each of the major drivers of supply chainperformance.Answer: Facilities are the where of the supply chain if we think ofinventory as what is being passed along the supply chain andtransportation as how it is passed along. They are the locations to orfrom which the inventory is transported. Within a facility, inventory is either processed or transformed into another state (manufacturing) or it is stored before being shipped to the next stage (warehousing).Inventory exists in the supply chain because of a mismatch betweensupply and demand. An important role that inventory plays in the supplychain is to increase the amount of demand that can be satisfied byhaving product ready and available when the customer wants it. Anothersignificant role inventory plays is to reduce cost by exploiting anyeconomies of scale that may exist during both production anddistribution. Inventory is spread throughout the supply chain from rawmaterials to work in process to finished goods that suppliers,manufacturers, distributors, and retailers hold.Inventory is a major source of cost in a supply chain and it has a hugeimpact on responsiveness. The location and quantity of inventory canmove the supply chain from one end of the responsiveness spectrum to the other.Inventory also has a significant impact on the material flow time in asupply chain. Material flow time is the time that elapses between thepoint at which Another important area where inventory has a significantimpact is throughput.Inventory and flow time are synonymous in a supply chain. Managersshould use actions that lower the amount of inventory needed withoutincreasing cost or reducing responsiveness, because reduced flow timecan be a significant advantage in a supply chain.Transportation moves product between different stages in a supply chain.Like the other supply chain drivers, transportation has a large impacton both responsiveness and efficiency. Faster transportation, whether in the form of different modes of transportation or different amounts being transported, allows a supply chain to be more responsive but reduces its efficiency. The type of transportation a company uses also affects theinventory and facility locations in the supply chain.Information could be overlooked as a major supply chain driver becauseit does not have a physical presence. Information, however, deeplyaffects every part of the supply chain. Its impact is easy tounderestimate as information affects a supply chain in many differentways. Information serves as the connection between the supply chain’svarious stages, allowing them to coordinate and bring about many of thebenefits of maximizing total supply chain profitability. Information isalso crucial to the daily operations of each stage in a supply chain.For instance, a production scheduling system uses information on demandto create a schedule that allows a factory to produce the right products in an efficient manner. A warehouse management system uses informationto create visibility of the warehouse’s inventory. The company can then use this information to determine whether new orders can be filled.Difficulty: Hard5.Explain the role of each of the major drivers of supply chainperformance in the competitive strategy.Answer: Facilities and their corresponding capacities to perform theirfunctions are a key driver of supply chain performance in terms ofresponsiveness and efficiency. For example, companies can gain economies of scale when a product is manufactured or stored in only one location;this centralization increases efficiency. The cost reduction, however,comes at the expense of responsiveness, as many of a company’scustomers may be located far from the production facility. The oppositeis also true. Locating facilities close to customers increases thenumber of facilities needed and consequently reduces efficiency. If thecustomer demands and is willing to pay for the responsiveness thathaving numerous facilities adds, however, then this facilities decisionhelps meet the company’s competitive strategy goals.Inventory plays a significant role in a supply chain’s ability tosupport a firm’s competitive strategy. If a firm’s competitivestrategy requires a very high level of responsiveness, a company can use inventory to achieve this responsiveness by locating large amounts ofinventory close to the customer. Conversely, a company can also useinventory to make itself more efficient by reducing inventory throughcentralized stocking. The latter strategy would support a competitivestrategy of being a low-cost producer. The trade-off implicit in theinventory driver is between the responsiveness that results from moreinventory and the efficiency that results from less inventory.The role of transportation in a company’s competitive strategy figuresprominently when the company is considering the target customer’s needs.If a firm’s competitive strategy targets a customer that demands a very high level of responsiveness, and that customer is willing to pay forthis responsiveness, then a firm can use transportation as one driverfor making the supply chain more responsive. The opposite is true aswell. If a company’s competitive strategy targets customers whose maindecision criterion is price, then the company can use transportation tolower the cost of the product at the expense of responsiveness. As acompany may use both inventory and transportation to increaseresponsiveness or efficiency, the optimal decision for the company often means finding the right balance between the two.Information is a driver whose importance has grown as companies have used it to become both more efficient and more responsive. The tremendous growth of the importance of information technology is a testimony to the impact information can have on improving a company. Like all the other drivers, however, even with information, companies reach a point when they must make the trade-off between efficiency and responsiveness.Difficulty: Hard。

《企业物流管理-供应链的规划、组织和控制》
第三章习题答案
11.戴维斯钢铁经销公司计划在其分拨网络中再建一座仓库。

对其他仓库产品—销售额的分析表明,25%的产品实现75%的销售额。

在该企业,仓库中不同产品的库存政策是不同的,前20%的产品是A类产品,库存周转次数是8;其次的30%产品或B类产品的周转次数是6;剩余C类产品的周转次数是4. 仓库中共有20种产品,预计销售额是260万美元。

据你估计,该仓库的平均库存是多少?
解答:
25%的产品实现了75%的销售量,则:A=0.25*(1-0.75)/(0.75-0.25)=0.125 产品累计销售比例:YA=(1+0.125)*0.2/(0.125+0.2)=9/13
YB=(1+0.125)*0.5/(0.125+0.5)=0.9
YC=1
A产品的平均库存:2600000*(9/13)/8=225000美元
B产品的平均库存:2600000*(0.9-9/13)/6=90000美元
C产品的平均库存:2600000*(1-0.9)/4=65000美元
该仓库的平均库存为:225000+90000+65000=380000美元
12.贝塔公司(Beta Products)准备新建一个仓库。

从所有产品中挑出10中属于A类和B类的产品存放在新仓库中。

所有的C类产品都由工厂供应。

新仓库所服务地区的年销售额预计为300万箱(A、B、C)。

历史数据显示30%的产品会实现70%的销售量。

前20%的产品被定为A类产品,其次30%的产品是B类产品,其余的50%是C类产品。

预计新仓库库存周转次数分别为:A类产品的是9,B类是5。

每单位库存平均需要1.5立方英尺的空间,仓库中产品堆码可达16英尺高。

剔除通道、办公和其他空间占用,该企业需要多少有效的存储空间?
解答:
30%的产品会实现70%的销售量,则A=0.3*(1-0.7)/(0.7-0.3)=9/40 产品累计销售比例:YA=(1+9/40)*0.2/(9/40+0.2)=49/85
YB=(1+9/40)*0.5/(9/40+0.5)=49/58
YC=1
A产品的平均库存:3000000*(49/85)/9=192157箱
B产品的平均库存:3000000*(49/58-49/85)/5=161014箱所需的储存空间:(192157+161014)*1.5/16=33109.781平方英尺。
