Supply Chain Complexity
"If you are in Supply Chain Management today, then
complexity is a cancer you have to fight. Process
management is the weapon. Understand that Supply
Chain Management is too important to be simply a
function. It is everybody's job.“
Tom Blackstock, Vice President Supply Chain
Operations Coca-Cola North America

Complexity
•
Complexity is simply destroying the
profitability at many companies, and
executives often can’t see what the
true cause is.
•
More suppliers, more parts, more
forecasting, more customers to ship to,
more returns to manage, etc.
Our accounting systems lack the ability
to well capture the true cost of this
complexity, keeping it hidden.
•
•
One major reason for increasing
complexity is that companies do not do
a realistic cost/benefit analysis on
adding complexity.
“Complexity Factor” (CF)
index.
CF = # of suppliers
* # of customers
* # of employees
* # of SKUs
* # of markets
* # of SC locations
* # of countries

Elements of complexity

•
Network complexity (nodes, links, tiers, distance, potential for unexpected
disruptions, …)
Process complexity (process steps, ownership, darwinian evolution, …)
Variety complexity (natural tendency to grow, impact on forecasting accuracy, …)
Product complexity (number of products, components, interactions, novelty,
technology, no commonality in BOM, …)
Customer complexity (customization demands, ordering patterns, frequency, size,
delivery requirements, …)
Supplier complexity (number of relationships, level of cooperative work, …)
Organizational complexity (silo organizations, not sharing info, tendency to create
intricacy, …)
Information complexity (tendency to opacity, systems not talking to each other, info
filtering, …)
….

Drivers of Supply Chain Complexity
Configuration and
Structure
• Number of suppliers
• Number of
manufacturing locations
• Number of distribution
channels
• Number of distribution
centers
• Number of ship-to
locations
• Number of customers
Products and Services
• Number of
products/services
• Number of direct
materials
• Number of shipments
• Number of orders
Processes and
Systems
• Supply chain processes
and practices
• Supply chain
organization
• Manufacturing strategy
• Number of legacy
information systems

orders for 4, 4, 4, 10.

Conclusions
• Competition occurs at the level of supply chains
• Complexity is increasing in supply chains
• There are many types of complexity. They all factor into an overall system
complexity
• There are two approaches to deal with complexity:
– Reduce complexity
– Learn to how to handle it
• To improve it, there are some intermediate working stages
