Outbound-to-Customer Logistics Systems
To increase levels of customer service, significant emphasis is placed on outbound-to-customer logistics systems.
These systems refer to the set of processes, systems, and capabilities that enhance the firm’s ability to serve its customers.
This topic also is of historical interest in the study of physical distribution, logistics, and supply chain management.
![Page 7: Chapter 7 - Demand Management and Customer Service](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fab2f74a795956048b4b89/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Inbound-to-Operations Logistics Systems
These systems refer to the set of processes that precede and facilitate value-adding activities such as manufacturing, assembly, and so on.
This topic also is of historical interest in the study of the supply chain and includes materials management and physical supply.
The study of inbound-to-operations logistics systems will be presented in the next chapter.
![Page 8: Chapter 7 - Demand Management and Customer Service](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fab2f74a795956048b4b89/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Demand Management
Defined as “focused efforts to estimate and manage customers’ demand, with the intention of using this information to shape operating decisions.”3
Recent practice has been just the opposite, with the manufacturer determining the what, where, when, and how many of the sale.
![Page 9: Chapter 7 - Demand Management and Customer Service](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fab2f74a795956048b4b89/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Demand Management
It is this disconnect between manufacturing and the demand at the point of consumption that attracts attention to demand management.
Any attention paid to demand management will likely result in benefits flowing through the supply chain.
![Page 10: Chapter 7 - Demand Management and Customer Service](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fab2f74a795956048b4b89/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

On the Line: Ingram Micro
Took leadership in creating a demand chain among its supply chain partners.
$22 billion sales of 200,000 products from 1,500 manufacturers to 140,000 resellers in 130 countries.
Ingram Micro is using a demand chain, rather than a supply chain, to focus on meeting consumer demand.

Demand Management:Related Issues
Lack of communication between departments results in little or no coordinated response to demand information.
Too much emphasis is often placed on forecasts of demand with little attention paid to collaborative efforts and strategic and operational plans that need to be developed from the forecasts.
![Page 15: Chapter 7 - Demand Management and Customer Service](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fab2f74a795956048b4b89/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
Demand Management:Related Issues Demand information is often used more
for tactical and operations purposes than for strategic purposes.
Primary emphasis should be on using demand information to create likely scenarios of the future as they relate to product supply alternatives.
Resulting business successes will be a outcome of the better match of demand to product availability.
![Page 16: Chapter 7 - Demand Management and Customer Service](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fab2f74a795956048b4b89/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Traditional Forecasting:Demand Forecasting
A major component of demand management is forecasting the amount of product that will be purchased by consumers or end users.
In the integrated supply chain all other demand will be derived from the primary demand.
A key objective is to anticipate and respond to primary demand as it occurs in the marketplace.
![Page 17: Chapter 7 - Demand Management and Customer Service](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fab2f74a795956048b4b89/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Collaborative Planning, Forecasting, and Replenishment The plan and the forecast are entered
by suppliers and buyers into an Internet accessible system.
Within established parameters, any of the participating partners is empowered to change the forecast.
Only a few CPFR initiatives have been made public, but results are impressive.

Order Fulfillment and Order Management: E-Commerce Success is just as much about designing
and implementing the basic principles of logistics and supply chain management as it is about marketing the latest technologies.
According to Richer and Kalatora10, some of the critical decisions are related to the evaluation of multiple fulfillment planning strategies.
What are the reasonable alternative fulfillment strategies?

Customer Service: Overview If the basics of customer service are not
in place, nothing else matters. Customers may define service
differently. All customer accounts are not the same. Relationships are not one dimensional. Partnerships and added value can “lock
up” customers.
