Consolidation

I.
Supplier Consolidation

3 Suppliers for each part of the a product

Rapid changes in Industry
Have back up suppliers
Primary supplier = best investment to volume return
Ensure 65% of total supplies come from the top supplier
Suppliers must adhere to Global Supplier Compliance Principal
Emphasis on:
Location, Price performance, Quality, and Inventory & Stock Holding support
Geography-Based Supplier Consolidation

At Least 57% of the revenue of the company comes from North America
Select suppliers in close vicinity to NJ
Reduce logistics costs
Third party manufacturing facility in Europe - Closeby Distribution and logistics Beville,
France to get goods across Europe
Potential Risks of Supplier Consolidation

Supplier Inflexibility large suppliers = risk losing the personal touch

- Ensure commitment from suppliers: responsive, flexible, & go the extra mile

No such thing as a One-Stop-Shop could be difficult to find a single supplier

- Suppliers will outsource to third-parties
- Verify whether all jobs will be done in-house
- To minimise incurring any third-party costs

Vendor Lock-in pitfalls of vendor lock-in

- Possibly substantial switching costs.

Re-designing Contracts & Relationships

No long-term or exclusive contracts

Individual purchase orders are made to independent suppliers, Elizabeth Arden has to
assume responsibility of orchestrating a large porting of the product completion process
Outsource contract manufacturing to strategic partners, third party vendors and component
suppliers
Write up new contracts that will compensate based on meeting performance expectations
Incentives with bonus to exceed quality expectations
Contract out to established 3rd party vendors and component suppliers so EA can focus on
core competency

Restructuring

Purchasing Process

Current Situation: Widespread individual purchasing from many firms with over 23 different
collections (A collection can have anywhere from 2 - 30+ different product lines within it)

Solution: Consolidate but include grassroots level employees in the purchasing process
Reduces overall time spent on purchasing
Lowers EAs need to handle all of the product completement process
Increased ability to seek out producers and purchasing power
Maintains active worker involvement to ensure accurate purchasing decisions
Organization Before
Organization After
Forecasting Organization
Current Situation: Short term oriented division level forecasting

Solution: Centralize large scale purchasing decisions towards longer term goals
Increases company-wide purchasing power
Allows for a broad forecast that analyzes decisions on a larger scale
Reduces amount of time spent on forecasting
More accurate long term forecasting of broad trends
Inventory Management Organization
Current Situation: High levels of customization, slow moving SKUs and long lead times
are resulting in extremely large inventory levels

Solution: ERP system for inventory management to provide a competitive edge with
abilities to plan effectively, execute predictably with customers and minimize labor
costs and errors associated with manual reconciliation
Properly plan and replenish orders
Leads to fewer transaction and better inventory accuracy
Allows ability to react quickly to surplus inventory
Categorize inventory to better analyze assumptions
ABC analysis results
Increase customization of products
Current Situation: The company must achieve a
more customer oriented approach to the
organizational design to align more with the
Turn Key project
Aggregate data will be used to collect
information about consumers. Then a price
analysis will be conducted to determine how
much consumers are willing to pay.

Solution: Increase customization to offer more

personalized products that meet each
individual's distinct needs. This will done by
through curation or assembling service
products together into a unique whole.

the cost
Shutdown warehouses and distribution centers
that are under-utilized

Case Assumptions

Inventory for 2006 = $269,270 (not $569,270 - error in case study)

Proportional costs & savings to supplier and employee numbers
- Scale economies / learning curves were not considered in the calculations
Availability of Q2 2008 financial statements from Elizabeth Arden
- To quantify visible impact of Pirards initial changes
Financial Overview: Before & After Turnkey
Supplier Consolidation Savings

Annual contracting cost per supplier = (Total current year costs of staff contracting with suppliers /
Total number of suppliers contracted with during current year) + (Total current year depreciation and
maintenance costs for supporting systems / Total number of suppliers contracted with during current year)

Annual invoicing cost per supplier = (Total current years costs of accounts payable staff responsible for
supplier payments / Total number of invoices paid for current year) * (Total number of invoices paid for
current year / Total number of suppliers with spend for current year)) + (Total current year depreciation
and maintenance costs for supporting systems / Total number of suppliers with spend for current year)
