Regardless of Method:
Forecasts are always wrong
Use ranges & track forecast error

Aggregated forecasts are more accurate
Risk pooling reduces CV
Shorter time horizon forecasts are more accurate
Postpone customization as late as possible

Connection to Forecasting & Transportation


Forecasting Impact expected demand and error
Transportation Impact costs and lead time
Setting Safety Stock
Service Based Metrics set k to meet expected LOS
Cost Based Metrics find k that minimizes total costs

Level of Management Frequent (Monthly or more) Infrequently - Aggregated Only as Aggregate

Interaction w/ Direct Input Modified Forecast Simple Forecast at
Demand High Data Integrity (promotions etc.) best
Manipulate (pricing etc.)

Interaction w/ Supply Actively Manage Manage by Exception None

Initial Deployment Minimize exposure (high v) Steady State Steady State

Frequency of Policy Very Frequent Moderate Very Infrequent


Review (monthly or more) (Annually/Event Based)

Importance of Very High accuracy Moderate rounding & Very Low


Parameter Precision worthwhile approximation is ok

Shortage Strategy Actively manage (confront) Set service levels Set & forget
& manage by exception service levels

Demand Distribution Consider alternatives to Normal N/A


Normal as situation fits

CTL.SC1x - Supply Chain and Logistics Fundamentals Lesson: Connecting the Dots 10
Demand: steady w/some seasonality
Value: high value
Forecasting: Time series
Inventory: Periodic Review (high k)
Transportation: Low cost & high
reliability

Demand: volatile, short periods


Value: high value
Forecasting: subjective w/ looks like analysis
Inventory: Single (or two) Period w/high k
Transportation:
- Lower cost initial deployment
- Fast replenishment

Final Thoughts

CTL.SC1x - Supply Chain and Logistics Fundamentals Lesson: Connecting the Dots 12
Final Thoughts
Information is often gating factor for analysis
n Data is not always available, accessible, or relevant
n People are good resources, but often need help

Three real-world tips for gathering information


1. Follow the supply chain flows (product, info, financial)
2. Use the Piata Principle
3. Coax with estimates and approximations

3 Real-World Tips on Gathering Info
Tip #2. Use the Piata Principle

n People are better at critiquing than creating


n You will get more input by having people
comment on something rather than starting
from scratch
n Examples:
w Forecasting Pick a model and make estimates
w Inventory Pick a LOS or cost value and model
w Transportation Select a route and show impact

3 Real-World Tips on Gathering Info
Tip #3. Coax with Estimates & Approximations

Example: Triangle Distribution


n Good way to get a sense of a distribution
n Handles asymmetric distributions
n People tend to recall extreme and common values

Lets try it! Think of your daily commute.


n What is the fastest time (minimum)?
n What is the slowest time (maximum)?
n What is the most common (mode)?

P[x>45]=(1/2)(15)(0.019)=.142 d=60-[(0.05)(45)(35)] = 51.12
= 14% = 51 minutes

Final Thoughts
Supply chains are all about trade-offs
n Fixed vs. Variable costs
n Shortage vs. Excess costs
n Lead Time vs. Inventory
CTL.SC1x gave you a toolbox of methods for:
n Demand Forecasting
n Inventory Management
n Transportation Planning
Problems rarely announce themselves, so
knowing which tool to use is as critical as how to
use it!
