Control tower case studies
18
Supply Chain Orchestration requires the
latest technology, advanced
software concepts and logistics
professionals.
Successful control centers however are not
just about physical flows of goods, but
especially about organizing smarter
information and -financial flows.
Prof. Dr. Walther Ploos van Amstel
Hype or not?
19
Supply chain control towers are becoming
a reality.
Implementing the concept of a control
tower in supply chains frees us from
operational fire fighting and allows us to
rethink our supply chain planning en
execution at more tactical and strategic
levels.
Prof. Dr. Jos Hillegersberg
Hype or not?
20
Supply Chain Control Towers are not a
hype, they will radically change the way we
run supply chains.
Most existing collaborations are vertically
oriented, for example between buyer and
supplier.
Horizontal collaboration with direct
competitors is newer and more challenging
to initiate.
Prof. Kees Jan Roodbergen

IT Services for Synchromodality
25/02/2015 68
1. Data integration is extremely difficult:
lack of standardization
lack of reliable and publicly available information
lack of common data models and semantic interoperability
2. IT logistic chain integration is challenging:
Diversity of IT landscape @ partners
There is no true real-time process integration/orchestration (e.g.,
no integration with on-board devices)
Key challenges in 4C / synchromodal logistics (1/2)
25/02/2015 69
3. Synchromodal planning must take into account terminal
restrictions, freight consolidation (within/of containers), and
alignment with production/inventory planning of shippers…
underlying algorithms need a lot of parameters.
4. The mental switch must still take place!

• Design a control concept for your role in the supply chain
• Formulate your negotiation strategy:– Business case: why participate?
– Cost and gain sharing
– Governance form
– KPIs: how to measure the performance?
• Formulate your implementation strategy– Arrangements / contract
– Organization / processes
– Logistical integration
– IT / data requirements
Workshop

In support of its contract logistics and supply chain management activities, Kuehne + Nagel Logistics offers total logistics planning, control and execution services, which are designed to turn its customers’ logistics into a competitive advantage. One such client is Unilever, a global manufacturer of Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG). Crucially, the cornerstone of Unilever’s customer service philosophy is the assurance it offers retailers that Unilever always delivers what it promises, and on time. That is why Unilever turned to Kuehne + Nagel Logistics to help it improve its lead times and order processing time. Kuehne + Nagel wants to design a control tower for Unilever and invited both Unilever and the top 3 retailers Albert Heijn, C1000 and Jumbo.
Case 1:

The PostNL eCommerce division offers online fashion retailers eFulfilment services to integrate their webshops with the logistical operation of PostNL. Key customers are WE Fashion, Expresso and M&S Mode. PostNL collaborates with several subcontractors to manage fluctuations in demand. Due to heavy price competition the margins of PostNL are under pressure. PostNL asked the neutral supply chain orchestrator CAROZ to design a solution to reduce the cost to serve the key customers of PostNL and focus on improving customer service for its key customers. CAROZ invited PostNL, WE Fashion, Expresso and M&S Mode to discuss potential process optimizations and a cost reduction program.
