Business Strategy – Direct sales – Build to order
• No build up of expensive inventory• Build exactly the computer that its customers want.• Minimize the need for forecasting• New product can be introduced without waiting for old
inventory clearance• Customers can choose what components they want for
their computer, Dell then assemble the order and ships it.
• This strategy improves customer satisfaction and reduces costs and risks to the company.

Benefits of direct sales method
• Direct sales in conjunction with build-to-order is a powerful model for both Dell and its customers.
• Customers get what they want, rather than be forced to choose among a fixed set of options.
• Dell wins because by developing and building only those systems that customers want, Dell eliminates the excess cost of buying too many components, having high storage and inventory costs, and having to sell the surplus at a loss.
• Dell can use savings in other areas such as web site improvement, marketing and distribution.
Business Strategy – Dell E-Commerce Company
• First web site – 1994 – ahead of competitors – selling online (dell.com)
• No channel conflict – reseller/ distributors• Build to order – Opportunity to customer to configure
products online• Internet to coordinate entire value network – Suppliers/
Logistics Providers/ Distributors of third party products, SI, Service providers
• Tight information linkage between Dell and its customers
• Need to hold inventory at each step in value chain .
• Have to pay suppliers first before getting paid from customers .
• Stuck with excess inventories of slow selling products .
Competitors’ Disadvantages vis-à-vis Dell

Inventory Management Experience
© Dell Inc. - 2003
Velocity = Direct Demand Feedback
1) Dell facilities act as Manufacturing Centers, not Warehouses – only inventory needed for next 2 hours of orders is on site
2) Provides direct signal of Dell customer demand for suppliers3) Dell’s performance to customer orders is directly linked to our suppliers’
level of support4) Absolute synchronization between manufacturing and sales keeps the
process balanced.
