Network Redesign Business Questions> How many distribution centers (D.C.s) should we have? > Where should the D.C.s be located? > Which customers should be served by each D.C.? > How do you best balance inventories against customer service needs
and distribution costs?> Should we contract for warehousing services or operate our own D.C.s?> Should pool points be used and where should they be located? > What do you gain by plant direct shipping? > Should all D.C.s carry all products or should they be specialized by
product line?> Where should my plants be located?> Which product lines should be produced at each plant and how much? > Which suppliers should be used?
Do you need a Network Redesign?
> You would like answers to some of the 11 “business questions”
> You have never redesigned your network(s) or it has been many years since the last redesign was completed
> Multiple divisions exist within the parent company and you are not leveraging Warehousing and/or Transportation.
> You are acquiring a company

Process to Redesign Supply Chains
Introduction
> Redesigning a Supply Chain is a PROCESS
> The SAILS software is a TOOL used in this process
> When you’re redesigning a Supply Chain, a good process is beneficial.
> This is the process that I’ve used many times, with good results, to redesign Supply Chains.
The Process
> Establish Project Management
> Define Objectives and Scope
> Design Model
> Data Collection
> Model Validation
> Optimization
> “What If” and Sensitivity Analysis
> Recommendation
> Implementation
> Post-Implementation Review
Project Management
> Establish Project Sponsor
• Best experiences with CFO or CEO
> Why has the project been initiated?
• What is the “compelling event”?
• What needs improving?
- Too much Inventory
- Customer Service lead times need tightened
- Logistics Costs too high
Project Management
> Executive ("Steering") Committee required?
• Establish cross-functional team (MIS, Logistics, Sales, Manufacturing, Customer Service, Purchasing, R&D, Finance, etc.), usually VP or Director level:
- Break down organization "silos"
- Create a better solution
- Improve the probability that the solution will be accepted by the entire organization
• Meet every 6 - 8 weeks
Project Management
> Establish full-time Project Manager > Establish Working Committee
• Establish team, usually Manager level, with "hands on" responsibility to spend 25 to 50 percent working on this project
• Meet "formally" every 2 - 3 weeks> Utilize Steering Committee to create “Task Forces”:
• Customer Service• Product Compatibility and R&D Requirements
(temperature, etc.)• Inventory Carrying Cost Methodology• Accounting Issues, such as Fixed vs. Variable
Warehousing Costs
Objectives and Scope
> Objectives (and Goals)• Why has the project been initiated? (What needs
improving)?• What business question(s) do you need answered?• Define as many "What If" and Sensitivity Analysis questions
to be answered, as possible • STAY STRATEGIC
> Scope• Which Business Units included?• Due to product incompatibilities, do multiple Supply Chains
need to be designed? How many?• Outbound (and Inbound(?))?• U.S. (and Canada(?) and Mexico(?))?• Include/exclude import/export (port)?
Model Design
> To design the model correctly, the objectives, the scope, and as many "What If" and Sensitivity Analysis questions, as possible, should be defined. Failure to do this, will increase the risk that the model will not be designed correctly, requiring extensive efforts to redesign the model later in the project.
> First step, sketch the current flows of the existing supply chain(s), defining all the “links”. Discuss what future flows should be allowed
> How many supply chains need to be designed? Sketch them.
Model Design
> For each supply chain (model):• How many echelons? • Current and candidate D.C.s, cross-docks, etc.• How do you ship products (Small Package, LTL, TL,
Pool, Pick-up, Rail, etc.)• D.C., cross-dock, etc. missions• Customer Service guidelines, current, proposed
and “what if”• Etc., etc.
> Roles and responsibilities of each member of the Working Committee. Assign tasks and due dates.
Data Collection> Collect:
• Network Description- Locations (Customers, D.C.s, Plants, Suppliers)
• Transportation Costs- Inbound, Replenishment, Transfer, Outbound
• Demand Data- Every Line Item from Every Order for a year
• Facility Data (Suppliers, Plant and D.C.)- Fixed & Variable Costs- Capacities
• Eligibility- D.C.s- Product Master with Production Source(s) Identified - Suppliers
> VERIFY all data to ensure that it is valid
Model Validation
> First, replicate flows (volumes)
• MY GOAL --- 99.75+% accurate
> Second, replicate costs. (This is an iterative process, until the variance between actual and the model reach an acceptable level).
• MY GOAL:
- Nationally, within 1 to 2 percent of “unexplained” variance.
- By facility, within 5 percent of “unexplained” variance.
Model Validation
> (If the “unexplained” variance is at the 5 - 10 percent range, no confidence exists when an optimization run shows a 10 percent cost reduction. It is not until the “unexplained” variance is in the 1 to 2 percent range that an optimization run showing a 10 percent cost reduction can be believed).
> Develop spreadsheet, starting with the model (validation) costs, adjusting for known (“explained”) variances, and comparing to actual costs
Model Validation
> “Explained” Variances (examples):• Transportation Costs
- Returns/Product Recall- Damaged- Accessorial (Fuel, Delay, Lumpers, etc.)- Expedited Transportation- Accounting Anomalies
• Warehousing Costs- Different Inventory Turns- Overflow Warehousing- Accessorial (Special Services, extra shifts, overtime,
etc).- Accounting Anomalies
• Plant Costs
Optimization
> Optimize the Supply Chain, meeting the customer service Requirements.
(This should occur very quickly, a
majority of the analysis should be "What If" and Sensitivity analysis).
“What If” and Sensitivity Analysis
> Most common Analysis:
• Sensitivity Analysis:
- Distribution cost vs. number of D.C.s- Distribution cost vs. Customer Service
– Cost for improved service
– As service is improved, are current D.C.s still being utilized
“What If” and Sensitivity Analysis
> Most Common Analysis (continued)• “What If” Analysis:
- Impact of inflation (D.C. vs transportation costs)- Growth Analysis (can handle forecasted growth)- Impact of plant capacity expansion (new plants)- Impact of new product introduction
– Which plant– 1 vs. 2 plants
- D.C. capacity expansion- Alternative echelon networks
– Plant direct– Cross-Docks / UPS Zone Skipping
- Implementation priority analysis
Recommendation
> A recommendation should be made, including:
• Supply Chain ("flow" and costs), AS IS
• Supply Chain ("flow" and costs), TO BE
• Expected benefits
• What was analyzed but didn't produce benefits
• Implementation plan, including
- Priorities- Technology
• Organizational impact
Implementation
> Additional time should be planned for further "What If" and Sensitivity Analysis to assist the implementation team.
(For example, the model recommends a D.C. in Omaha. The implementation team can not find the space in Omaha at a reasonable price. What is the additional transportation cost if the D.C. were in Kansas City or Des Moines)?
> Now is the time to support the implementation with tactical analysis.
Post-Implementation Review
> I’m a strong believer that 6 to 12 months after the implementation, the project should be evaluated and the actual benefits quantified.
> Most of my recommendations have reduced the number of D.C.s, so more volume was going through fewer locations. Due to increased leverage (transportation and warehousing), the actual benefits usually exceed what the software predicted.
• All projects 5 to 15 percent Logistics savings• Majority in 8 to 12 percent range

The Optimizer
Too often users don’t ask enough questions about what the solver does and how. They seem to assume that if a program can make pretty pictures, it must also be able to get good answers.
In short, THEY BUY THE PICTURES, NOT THE SOLUTIONS!

The key to good analysis is the range and quality of alternatives generated for evaluation.
Solver Technology: Heuristics
Characteristics• common sense consideration of limited alternatives• not guaranteed to find best solution• solution dependent upon quality of decision rules• run-to-run comparisons unreliable
Applications
– crew scheduling– vehicle routing– shipment planning
Solver Technology: Simulation
Characteristics• imitates sequence of events/conditions over time• no attempt to find best solution• limited to process evaluation• difficult to validate• expensive to develop, maintain, and run• run-to-run comparisons very difficult
ApplicationsApplications
– queuing problemsqueuing problems– inventory controlinventory control– plant/DC operationsplant/DC operations
OPTIMIZATION generates and considers all alternatives in a given scenario --
with heuristics and expert systems alone, many alternatives are never envisioned, much less evaluated!

Good models are like bright lights
focused on dark corners.
Conventional wisdom is frequently wrong -- Management Science has shown this time and time again.

MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVE
Fundamental question askedby management . . .
What production-distribution networkwill yield greatest return on assets,given all trade-offs in the system?
Specific Issues
> What are the appropriate customer service goals to pursue?
> How should inventory be stratified and positioned in the various levels of the production - distribution system?
> How many distribution centers should there be, where should they be, and what service areas should be assigned to each?
> Should new plant locations be opened and should the production mix among plants be changed?
> Which plants should provide which products to each warehouse and what mix of transportation modes should be used?
