
Jordano Foods is a major vendor for SAB
Distribution, and must decide if it wants a
supply chain relationship with SAB.
Jordano’s CEO put together a study team to
evaluate the impact of adding a logistics
systems approach.

Dimensions of Logistics:
Introduction



Logistics has come a long way since the 1960s.
The big challenge is to manage the whole
logistics system in such a way that order
fulfillment meets or exceeds customer
expectations.
Focus of this chapter is upon the individual
firm’s logistics system but also recognizing that
no logistics system operates in a vacuum.

Logistics in the Economy:
A Macro Perspective




As indicated in Figure 2-2, logistics costs as a
percentage of GDP have declined from 16
percent in 1980, to under 10 percent in 1999.
Early to mid-1970s saw the figure closer to 20
percent.
This reflects a serious improvement in the
efficiency of logistics systems.
Figure 2-3 shows a further breakdown of
logistics costs for 1999.

Logistics in the Economy:
A Macro Perspective


As indicated in Figure 2-4, the Federal
Reserve measure of inventory to sales ratios
from 1991 to 1999 clearly indicate that
companies are getting better at managing
inventory.
Companies have been supporting larger
amounts of sales with decreasing amounts of
inventory.
Chapter 2
Management of Business Logistics, 7th Ed.
12
Logistics in the Economy:
A Macro Perspective



The two largest cost categories in logistics
systems are transportation and inventory.
While we will look at this in Chapter 9, motor
carriers’ share of total freight expenditures is
$450 billion versus $99 billion for all other
carriers.
The most frequent trade-off in logistics is
between transportation and inventory cost.

What is Logistics?:
21st Century View of Logistics


Business Logistics – supply chain process that
plans, implements, and controls the efficient,
effective flow of goods, services, and related
information from the point of origin to the point
of use or consumption in order to meet
customer requirements.
Military Logistics – design and integration of all
aspects of support for the operational capacity
of the military forces, and their equipment to
ensure readiness, reliability, and efficiency.
Chapter 2
Management of Business Logistics, 7th Ed.
17
What is Logistics?:
21st Century View of Logistics


Event Logistics – network of activities, facilities,
and personnel required to organize, schedule,
and deploy the resources for an event to take
place and to efficiently withdraw after the
event.
Service Logistics – acquisition, scheduling, and
management of the facilities/assets, personnel,
and materials to support and sustain a service
operation or business.
Chapter 2
Management of Business Logistics, 7th Ed.
18
What is Logistics?:
Value-Added Role of Logistics


Most commonly referred to in terms of
economic utilities:
 Form utility (what)
 Place utility (where)
 Time utility (when)
 Possession utility (why)
Also referred to as the seven Rs --- Right
product, Right quantity, Right condition, Right
place, Right time, Right customer, and Right
cost.

21
Logistics in the Firm: Logistics Interfaces
with Operations Manufacturing


Length of production runs
 Balance economies of long production runs
against increased costs of high inventories.
Seasonal demand
 Acceptance of seasonal
inventory to balance
lead production times.
Chapter 2
Management of Business Logistics, 7th Ed.
22
Logistics in the Firm: Logistics Interfaces
with Operations/Manufacturing



Supply-side interfaces
 Stocking adequate supplies to ensure
uninterrupted production now a logistics
function.
Protective packaging
 Principal purpose is to protect the product
from damage.
Foreign & third party alternatives
 Some logistics functions are being
outsourced.

Logistics Interfaces with Marketing:
The Marketing Mix – Four Ps
 Price
 Product
 Promotion
 Place
Chapter 2
Management of Business Logistics, 7th Ed.
24
Logistics in the Firm:
Price



Carrier pricing
 Generally, since the larger the shipment, the
cheaper the transportation rate, shipment sizes
should be tailored to the carrier’s vehicle capacity
where possible.
Matching schedules
 Quantity discounts should be tied to carrier
quantity discounts.
Volume relationships
 Volumes sold will affect inventory requirements.
Chapter 2
Management of Business Logistics, 7th Ed.
25
Logistics in the Firm:
Product

Consumer packaging
 Generally, since the size, shape, weight and other
physical characteristics of the product impact on
its storage, transportation and handling, the
logistics managers should be included in any
decisions regarding these product traits.
 A minor correction in any of the above could
conceivably cost (or save) millions of dollars in
logistical costs.
 Logistics costs are not necessarily paramount, but
they need to be considered in the decision making
process.
Chapter 2
Management of Business Logistics, 7th Ed.
26
Logistics in the Firm:
Promotion


Push versus pull
 The most important factor is that the logistics
division is aware of any changes in demand
patterns so that it can plan for any consequences.
 Pull strategies tend to be more erratic.
 Push strategies tend to more predictable.
Channel competition
 The more popular a product, the easier it is to
persuade channel members to promote your
product.
Chapter 2
Management of Business Logistics, 7th Ed.
27
Logistics in the Firm:
Place


Wholesalers
 Generally, since wholesalers are combining
purchases for multiple retailers, the shipment sizes
tend to be larger and the number of transactions
that have to be processed are fewer, with the
result that logistics costs are smaller.
Retailers
 With the exception of very large retailers who act
more like wholesalers, smaller sales are the norm.
These generally cost more for transportation and
order processing.
Chapter 2
Management of Business Logistics, 7th Ed.
28
Logistics Interfaces with
Other Areas


Manufacturing and marketing are probably the two
most important internal, functional interfaces with
logistics.
Other important interfaces now include finance and
accounting.
 Logistics can have a major impact on return on
assets and return on investment.
 Logistics costs reported by cost systems measure
supply chain trade-offs and performance.

Moves more than 8 million parts and accessories every
month.
Computer modeling re-designed the 30 year old
distribution network.
Software looked first at Lexus Division and then at the
entire network.
Resulted in two DCs, one in California, another in
Kentucky, feeding nine smaller DCs located around the
country.
The new network both improved customer service and
lowered costs.

Approaches to Analyzing Logistics
Systems: Materials Management v.
Physical Distribution


Frequently the movement and storage of raw
materials is far different from the movement
and storage of finished goods.
Four different classifications of logistics systems
 Balanced system - e.g., consumer products
 Heavy inbound - e.g., aircraft, construction
 Heavy outbound - e.g., chemicals
 Reverse systems - e.g., returnable products
Chapter 2
Management of Business Logistics, 7th Ed.
32
Approaches to Analyzing Logistics
Systems



Cost Centers
 Treating logistics activities as cost centers makes it
easier to study cost trade-offs between the centers.
(see Tables 2-2 and 2-3)
Nodes versus Links
 Nodes are spatial points (warehouses, plants, etc.);
 Links are the transportation network (rail, motor, air,
pipe and water). (see Figure 2-6)
Logistics Channel
 The network of intermediaries involved in the
logistics system. (see Figures 2-7, 2-8, and 2-9)

Logistics and Systems Analysis

Cost Perspective
 Keep in mind that the most efficient
systems are not always comprised of each
system component operating at its lowest
possible cost.
 The critical concern is to have the entire
system operating at its lowest total cost.
Chapter 2
Management of Business Logistics, 7th Ed.
40
Logistics and Systems Analysis

Level of Optimality
 There are often constraints working which
result in sub-optimal outcomes.
 Additionally, logistics systems must work in
harmony with marketing, finance,
production, etc.--- this may also result in
sub-optimal logistics performance.
 See Figure 2-10 on next slide.

Techniques of Logistics System
Analysis: Short-Run/Static Analysis




This technique is illustrated in Table 2-4.
Comprised a matrix-like table which presents
each of the logistics and other relevant costs
for two or more alternative logistics systems.
The major downside to the model is that it
presents a solution which is not necessarily
the correct one at all possible volume levels.
Examine the data presented in Table 2-4.

costs of at least two alternative logistics
systems.
