Interest rates,
Exchange rates,
Consumer demand,
Supply chain shortages,
What else?
Page 13
Consumer demand surges
– Sometimes we can predict this
– More people at home meant:
• More people using the
internet.
• More people baking bread
and cakes.
– Sometimes we can not predict this
– Drakes Supermarkets director John-Paul Drake said the man
called the supermarket to try to get a refund on 132 packs of
toilet rolls and 150 one-litre bottles of hand sanitiser.

Changing distribution channels
– Means changes in:
– Where people are buying.
– How people are buying.
– What people are buying.

delivered in Australia
increased by 90% in 2020.

The new normal is not as normal as we thought
– Economic growth is patchy.
– Consumer buying patterns are still changing.

The end of Just in Time?
– Natural disasters,
fluctuating transport costs,
trade disputes means that
the costs of JIT often
outweigh the benefits.

Focus on biosecurity, sustainability, resilience
– Biosecurity means preventing
the spread of harmful
organisms.
– Sustainability has many facets
as you will learn this
Semester.
– Resilience means being able to
handle changes and recover
quickly from challenges.

Understanding risks in the supply chain
To understand this we need to consider risk:
– Supply risk,
– Process risk,
– Demand risk,
– Corporate-level risk.
We need to understand the risks so that we can quantify them
and mitigate them.
The University of Sydney
Page 22
Supply risks
– Supplier might go bankrupt.
– Example: Apple, GT Advanced
Technologies, and sapphire glass
– GT was to provide Apple exclusive
supply of sapphire glass but GT filed
for bankruptcy
– Apple left without valuable new
product feature in the very competitive
smartphone market.

Key question
– How does an ethical manager navigate these competing
issues?

Supply Chain Management defined
Supply chain management encompasses the planning &
management of all activities involved in sourcing and
procurement, conversion, & all logistics management activities.
Importantly, it also includes coordination & collaboration with
channel partners, which can be suppliers, intermediaries, thirdparty service providers & customers. In essence, SCM integrates
supply & demand management within & across companies.

Logistics defined
– Logistics defined by the French Academy: All means &
methods of organising a service, a business & especially the
flow of materials before, during and after production.

Why did LSCM evolve?
– Separation between:
– Location of natural resources for production, and
– Where and when people use and consume products.
– Economic development and growth is dependent upon:
– Productive regional specialisation & division of labour & skills,
and
– Exchange of goods, services and information.

The basic roles of business logistics
The University of Sydney
Page 51
Business logistics
– Logistics as a separate concept described by Jomini in 1836
in the Summary of the art of war as:
– Combining and coordinating the quartering, means of
transport, supplying and supporting of troops through
reasoning by calculation during a military campaign.
– During World War II the whole of society was geared towards
supporting the war effort.
– The lessons learnt in World War II were applied to rebuilding
of infrastructure and industry after the war.

The STO framework for decision making
– Strategic level: preparation & planning of decisions that have
a long term effect on the firm & its partners.
– Tactical level: organisation & implementation decisions that
are updated at any time within a year.
– Operational level: execution & control – day to day decisions.

Page 53
Logistics systems approach
– The main objective of logistics is to deliver customer
expectations at an acceptable cost to the organisation.
– This gives us the total-cost logistics concept.
– We need to understand the trade-offs that exist here:
– Transport versus inventory levels,
– Transport versus warehousing facilities,
– Manufacturing versus warehousing costs.
The University of Sydney
Page 54
Example of cost trade-off
The University of Sydney
Page 55
What is production and operations management?
– Production is the creation of goods or services for end users
or for inclusion in further stages of manufacturing.
– Operations are the processes that either provide services or
create goods.

Goods versus services

–
How much direct versus indirect customer contact?
How much labour is used versus automation?
How much uniformity of inputs and outputs?
How do we measure productivity?
How do we assure quality?
How do we manage inventory?
How expensive is labour, production machines, other inputs?
How do we maintain competitive advantage?
