When firms cooperate, compete and
exchange
problems with traditional supply chain
management (SCM)
problems this creates for manufacturers
problems this creates for their suppliers
problems this creates for consumers
improvements to traditional SCM
the direct-to-customer model
virtual integration with suppliers

Quiz
A box of cereal spends 104 days in the
supply chain
Distorted information causes total
inventory in the pharmaceutical supply
chain to exceed 100 days. $11 billion in
savings to be realized
Poor coordination wasting $ 30 billion
annually in the food industry
$ 2.6 billion Boeing write-off in 1997 due
to supply chain inefficiencies
Defining SCM
SCM is the coordination of material,
information and financial flows
between and among enterprises
participating in the demand fulfillment
process for a product or service.
Spans multiple organizations and
industries
Coordination and integration of flows
essential for the modern enterprise
Gates: Business @ The Speed of Thoug
A digital nervous system is the corporate,
digital equivalent of the human nervous
system, providing a well-integrated flow of
information to the right part of the
organization at the right time. A digital
nervous system consists of the digital
processes that enable a company to
perceive and react to its environment, to
sense competitor challenges and
customer needs, and to organize timely
responses.
Gates: Business @ The Speed of Thoug
A digital nervous system requires a
combination of hardware and software; it's
distinguished from a mere network of
computers by the accuracy, immediacy, and
richness of the information it brings to
knowledge workers and the insight and
collaboration made possible by the
information.
Scott McNealy on Gates’ View
He is right - I would be very nervous if my
systems were based on their platforms and
products!
RFID Tags
What is RFID? -- The Tags
Tags can be attached to
almost anything:
pallets or cases of product
vehicles
company assets or personnel
items such as apparel,
luggage, laundry
people, livestock, or pets
high value electronics such
as computers, TVs, camcorders
Are All Tags The Same?
Basic Types:
Active
Tag transmits radio signal
Battery powered memory,
radio & circuitry
High Read Range (100
meters)
Passive
Tag reflects radio signal
from reader
Reader powered
Shorter Read Range
(10cm – 5 meters)

How far, how fast, how much, how many, attached to what?
Low Frequency
No regulation
Penetrate materials (water, wood, tissue well)
Slow read speed
Small range
No penetration of iron and steel
Medium Frequency
Little data, small distance
Thin tags
Low cost
High data rates
Govt regulated
Non mental penetrating
High Frequency
Penetrate materials
Small tag size
High data transfer
Long range
Non-water or tissue penetrating
Non-regulated in some regions
expensive
Where can RFID add value?
From Manufacturing
Through Distribution
Transportation
Into a Store’s Back Room
Inventory
On the Shelf
At the Cash
Register
Out the Door
as an anti-theft
device
Top 100 Suppliers:
Suppliers will mark inbound cases and
pallets with RFID - 1 January 2005 - May,
2003 specification calls for ≈256 bit
read/write tag
• 1 EPC tag per carton – 100% read on conveyor
• 1 EPC tag per pallet – 100% read at Inbound dock
• Conveyor speed of up to 600 feet per minute
• 3 Texas Distribution Centers
• January 2005
Why???
Stock management /perishables (field
to fork)
In-stock levels
Invoice reconciliation: damaged,
deductions, performance penalties,
etc.
Scan Based Trading or VMI
Improved analytics & POS data
All reads available to suppliers within
30 minutes
Guidelines for using RFID
Bar codes cannot be used
Counting versus identification (reverse
logistics)
Use of 3Party logistics and suppliers
Data collection is chaotic (battlefields,
hospitals, retails shops)
Exact configuration of the good must be
maintained
Counterfeit protection
High Risk scenarios, drugs, hospitals
Collecting data outside of retailer (smart
refrigerators, medicine cabinets, etc)

The Diaper Supply Chain!
Ripples to tidal waves
Stockpiles and stockouts
Insufficient or excessive capacities
Higher costs
What is the Problem?
The “bullwhip effect” - four key causes
Demand signal processing
Currently only order information is shared (not actual sales)
Need to instead share POS retail data (sell-through data)
Order batching (retailers only order periodically)
Infrequent access to demand information
Order rationing
retailers order popular items excessively
Hoarding of scare products (inflate demand order of scarce
product to ensure that you have it on-hand)
Special Promotions
Alter the normal pattern of product demand from customer;
so that it’s impossible to understand the “true” demand

Interorganizational Systems
Integration of supply chain across
companies
Degrees of integration: information,
process, property rights
Increased efficiencies through
1. optimal production/logistics planning
2. lower inventories
3. increased flexibility
4. customer satisfaction
Oh brave new world, this is
wonderful…But…
The Economist says….
Look out for proprietary systems with
high specificity Lock-in
Sharing processes is optimal from
logistics viewpoint, but remember
‘knowledge of time and place’
Additional information acquired by
one party can reduce bargaining
power of other. Competitive industries
like retailing, grocery and electronics
has demonstrated many examples of
this….
Types of Shared Information
Inventory information
Transition to echelon-based inventory systems
Upstream companies can determine when and
what to produce
Downstream companies can improve service
levels with less inventory
Types of Shared Information
Sales Data
Variance of orders greater than that of
sales
The “bullwhip effect” - four key causes
Demand signal processing
Move to sharing sell-through data and POS
retail data
Order batching
Infrequent access to demand information
Order rationing
Hoarding of scare products
Promotions
Types of Information Sharing
Production/Delivery Schedule
Improves due-date estimation
Expand planning horizons
Other Information Sharing
Performance metrics
Capacity information
Challenges
Aligning incentives of different partners

price fixing behavior

Your task….
You would like to buy a 3 year old
Honda Prelude. You have 2 options:
1. Buy the car in a private transaction,
mediated through the newspaper
classifieds, or
2. Buy the car through a used car dealership
Asses the relative advantages and
disadvantages of each option.
Intermediaries
Up to 25% of the
economy
Financial
Intermediaries
Dealers &
Wholesalers
OK, so what do Intermediaries do?
Information management: compiling and filtering
information, informing consumer's knowledge of supply
and demand capacity.
Logistics management: economies of scale, scope and
specialization in conveying goods from production sites
to consumption sites
Transaction securitization: controlling and guaranteeing
the quality of goods and payments delivered to buyer
and seller
Insurance: insurance for the existence of a market for
the products, that is, a market making function
Liquidity: extending credit to both sides of the
transaction, alleviating liquidity constraints

B2B Portals – 2 main types
Horizontal
1 product sector –
many industries
Large exchanges
Provide liquidity,
transparency,
aggregate supply &
demand
Require high volume of
transactions, small
commission base
Additional revenue
through value adds like
financing, asset
management,
warrantees
Vertical
One industry –many
products
Limited membership
Eliminate inefficiencies
in specific industry
supply chains
Fewer transactions –
revenue based on
realized savings
Purpose
Increase understanding of rent generation
models in electronic intermediaries
Implications of network and product
characteristics
Evolution of rent accrual mechanisms &
information and relational capabilities

What Happened? Conclusions
Horizontal
Many portals built on
information aggregation
assumption
Barriers to entry low
Too many portals, can’t
generate volume
Suppliers weary of
transparency (stick with
EDI and Fax)
Most sectors can support
1-3 exchanges (max).
Forget commodities and
content - Focus on
payment, logistics, &
value adds….
Vertical
Often very sound
business model
Implementation hard
work
Barriers to adoption:
legal, organizational,
procedural
Slow in the making,
but scale well
Most profitable in
fragmented markets
with customizable
products
