Globalization (and global warming)
• SUPPLY CHAINS
•
•
•
•
Need lean
Need green
Need agile
Need resilient
• Continuous improvement the goal
• Improvement is never finished
• Lean effective at tactical, operational levels
• OUR FOCUS: STRATEGIC SUPPLY CHAIN IMPLEMENTATION OF LEAN
European DSI 2014 Swenseth & Olson
Views
• Operators don’t have confidence that upper management
understands lean
• Don’t believe upper management supports lean applications
• Upper management continues to demand improvements generated
by lean
• PREMISE: UPPER MANAGEMENT DOES CARE & SUPPORTS LEAN
• But they have many factors to consider
• Some of these factors may trump lean
• STUDY: one major supply chain player
• Interacting upstream
European DSI 2014 Swenseth & Olson
Our Model: Data assumed as inputs
• Average annual (& daily) demand (and standard deviation)
• Unit weight
• Unit purchasing price
• Holding cost as % of unit price
• Order cost
• Backorder cost per unit
• Truckload shipping rate (assume full truckloads)
European DSI 2014 Swenseth & Olson
AGILE
• Lean a good deal
• Agile also good in supply chains [Borgstrom & Hertz, 2011; many others]
• Agile provides information visibility
• Agile has relative advantage in low demand, high variety environments
• Extension of lean to supply chains challenging [Liu, et al., 2013]
• No decision maker can have all needed knowledge
• Internet helps [Hines, et al., 2004]
• Can synchronize decisions, share goals [Manuj & Sahin, 2011]
• But Bullwhip studies indicate difficulties [Disney, Towill, many times]
European DSI 2014 Swenseth & Olson
RESILIENT
• Lean focus on cost minimization
• Zero inventories cause problems [Christopher & Peck, 2004]
• Supply chains may have high levels of uncertainty [Nauhria et al., 2009]
• On-time delivery critical, as is product quality
• Agile refocus on developing capacity
• Provide the ability to cope with unexpected disturbances [Carvalho &
Machado, 2009; Pettit, et al., 2010]
• Highly appropriate if demand rapidly changing
European DSI 2014 Swenseth & Olson
Environmental Sustainability
• Lean can help environment [Sobral, et al., 2013]
• Improve efficiency ecologically at a profit [Rao & Holt, 2005]
• GREEN SYSTEM consideration of Product Life Cycle [Srivastava, 2007]

Environmental Sustainability Redux
• Little evidence of green supply chain practice [Genovese, et al., 2013]
• Need holistic approach [Lee, 2010]
•
•
•
•
Environmental complexity includes many goals
Inventory studies [Borgstrom & Hertz, 2011; Chung, et al., 2012]
Need to consider overall supply chain system [Mollenkopf, et al., 2010]
Efficiency trade-offs with environmental sustainability [Wolters, et al., 1997]
• Wal-Mart, Caterpillar, Toyota
European DSI 2014 Swenseth & Olson
Lean Implementation
• [Miller 2011] survey
• Mixed findings of Managers knowing what lean really is
• But it is critical they be involved
• Managers should improve process rather than allocate blame
• International Survey of Lean Healthcare Users [2012]
• Primary barriers to lean
• Resources
• Knowledge gaps
• Conflicting priorities
• [Zhang, et al. 2012]
•
•
•
•
Need management engagement & commitment
Organizational culture
Reviews & tracking
Communication & assessment
• [Fricke, 2010]
• The larger the organization, the greater the awareness of lean

Assumptions
• Lead Time – same as cycle time (supplier producing to customer demand)
• Standard deviation of Daily Demand = 1/3 daily demand, normally distributed
• Optimal Probability of Stockout based on backorder unit cost
• Not allowed to be > 0.5, as that would yield negative safety stock
• Optimal Service Level = 1 – Optimal Probability of Stockout
• Max Safety Stock based on 4 StDev above mean
• Expected Stockout Quantity near optimal probability of stockout times likely

Implementing Lean Alternatives

•
Unit Price reduction – work with supplier, or design changes
Unit Weight reduction – work with supplier to be greener
Unit Demand increase – lower price increases demand
Order Cost reduction – cost of individual order reduced
Shipping Cost reduction – consolidation improves lean & green
Backorder Cost reduction – impact of stockout reduced
Lead Time reduction – countered by higher number
Holding Cost reduction – decrease in rate and decrease in unit value
Product Defect Rate reduction
Standard Deviation of Deman During Lead Time reduction
European DSI 2014 Swenseth & Olson
IMPACT
• Previous Lead Time: 14.6 days
• Previous Order Quantity: (50,000 lbs/shipment)/(25 lbs/unit) = 2,000 units
• Cycle Time = Lead Time (2000/50000)*365 days/year = 14.6 days
• Current Lead Time: 11.68 days
• Current Order Quantity: (50,000 lbs/shipment)/(18.75 lbs/unit) = 2,667 units
• Without Learning Cycle Time: (2667/62500)*365 = 15.58 days
• With Learning Cycle Time: 15.58*0.75 = 11.68 days
• Because demand increases at same rate that unit weight decreases,
shipment size increases at rate causing average DDLT to be constant

RESULTS
• Columns represent rounds of lean improvement
• Greater improvement rates during early stages
• Assumes one improvement cycle per year
• Compound profit improvement 8.52 % per year
European DSI 2014 Swenseth & Olson
STRATEGIC ALTERNATIVE TO LEAN & GREEN
• Unit Price further reduced - (30% of current price)
• Unit Weight same
• Unit Demand same
• Order Cost increase – new supplier
• Shipping Cost per truckload increase – overseas
• Backorder Cost per unit increased – multiple suppliers
• Lead Time increased – overseas
• Holding Cost % same
• Product Defect Rate increased – multiple overseas suppliers

Global outsourcing gains pick up after 5 periods
Considered impact of different change factors on results
• Correlation between input factor and change in profit
• GREATEST IMPACT:
• Defective products
• Greater initial levels of defective product allows lean to improve more
• Can’t transfer this to alternate suppliers
• 2nd GREATEST IMPACT
• Learning Rate
• Greater learning rate, more lean benefits
European DSI 2014 Swenseth & Olson
CONCLUSIONS
• Multiple ways to implement lean, green, agile methods
• We focused on decision processes
• Operational level gains may seem ignored when changes made at
tactical level
• Gains at the operational & tactical levels may seem ignored at the
strategic level
• EACH LEVEL HAS TO UNDERSTAND HIGHER LEVELS HAVE BROADER
CONSIDERATIONS
• What appears detrimental at lower levels may have a compelling higher-level
justification
