Introduction: Some Vocabulary
• Logistics: procurement and distribution of material and information;
• Supply Chain Management: effectively integrating the production and distribution of products or services.
• Firms form competing supply chains which provide most value to customers at lowest cost.

Introduction• Demand for Logistics Support is Growing. Why?
– new technologies for monitoring and management
– global sourcing, multi-site and international manufacturing
– demand for localization and customization

Introduction• Managers balance the cost of the supply chain and the
quality of products and services• Major components of cost:
– on-hand inventory– transportation and handling costs
• Measures of quality: – order fill rate (% of time product available when needed)– order lead time (time between order receipt and product delivery)– return rate (% of products returned because of defects, damage,
errors in order processing, etc.)

Supply Chain Management for Services
Information and Material
Flow
Inventory Capacity
• information indistinguishable from product
• delivery channel indistinguishable from product
• product changes significantly along each step of the chain (value-added)
• the customer can be a ‘co-producer’
• when inventory is impossible to hold, excess capacity and flexibility are crucial.
• in some services,high variability meanshigh inventory
• in others, inventory isimpossible to hold.

Logistics for Services:
The Role of Inventory – Inventory costs can be significant (consider retail
sales, hospitals, aircraft maintenance)– High variability makes stocking decisions
difficult; poor decisions have a tremendous impact on customer service
Example: L.L. Bean plans production for a new teal turtleneck …

• Order must be placed before demand is known• If not sold immediately, must liquidate• Decision: determine commitment quantity

March 1997 11
One-Period Decisions
Define:
• (random) demand for the turtleneck (d)
• commitment quantity (Q) (not the EOQ!)
Q: What factors influence the commitment quantity?
![Page 12: OMG 402 - Operations Management Spring 1997 CLASS 13: Introduction to Logistics Harry Groenevelt](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649f3c5503460f94c5bab8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
March 1997 12
One-period Decisions:
Commitment Quantity Trade-offs
• contribution margin or ‘gain’ (G)= opportunity cost of a lost sale (= $15 for teal turtleneck)
• liquidation cost or ‘loss’ (L)= cost of excess inventory (= $5 for teal turtleneck)

One-Period Decisions
• Expected Total Gain rises as we increase the number ordered (Q). It reaches a limit at $150,000. Why?
• Expected Liquidation Loss rises as we increase the number ordered (Q). Is there any limit on the loss? Why?
Expected Profit is maximized between 11,000 and 12,000. Is there an analytical method for finding the optimal Q?

One Period Decisions
expected marginal gain from Qth item= (contribution margin) · Pr{Qth item is sold}= G · Pr{d Q} = G · [1–Pr{d < Q}]
expected marginal liquidation loss from Qth item= (liquidation cost) · Pr{Qth item is not sold}= L · Pr{d < Q}
buy Q as long as expected value > 0:G · [1– Pr{d < Q}] – L · Pr{d < Q} > 0
orPr{d < Q} < G/(L+G)
![Page 18: OMG 402 - Operations Management Spring 1997 CLASS 13: Introduction to Logistics Harry Groenevelt](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649f3c5503460f94c5bab8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
March 1997 18Note: relationship between uncertainty and inventory!
One Period Decisions: The Solution
Example: G = $15, L = $5, d ~ Normal(10000, 2000)
Pr{d < Q} = 15/(5 + 15) = 0.75
so
Q = 10,000 + 2,000 z0.75
= 10,000 + (2,000)(0.67) 11,350 turtlenecks
(z0.75 0.67 is the 75th percentile of the standard normal)
Buy Q so that Pr{d < Q} G/(L+G)

Apparel Supply Chain
• “Fashions” limit product shelf life
• Traditionally long production lead times one production order once per season
• “Quick Response” – attempt to shorten production lead times
produce several times per season reduced liquidation loss and lost sales

Problem: – need to order 10,000 parkas now, and 10,000 later when
much more accurate demand forecasts will be available
– need to order at least 600 parkas of a particular style at a time to achieve production economies of scale (both now and with later orders)
– after second 10,000 parkas are ordered and the parkas are received, lost sales costs and liquidation losses are incurred
![Page 24: OMG 402 - Operations Management Spring 1997 CLASS 13: Introduction to Logistics Harry Groenevelt](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649f3c5503460f94c5bab8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Sport Obermeyer
Observations:– Second round of orders should be used to “fine-tune”
the total number ordered for each style
– However, the second order for each style should be at least 600 parkas
– For the first round of orders, we want to maintain a high probability that at least 600 more parkas are required in the second round, so that we are not caught in a situation where we would like to buy 300 or so parkas in the second round

Insights
• Performance of the supply chain affected by:– inventory
– capacity
– material/information flow
• Change one, others may change too• Trade-offs can be particularly acute in service
supply chains. Wisely designed information and material logistics dramatically reduce costs and improve service.
