Supply Chain Complexity
"If you are in Supply Chain Management today, then complexity is a cancer you have to fight. Process management is the weapon. Understand that Supply Chain Management is too important to be simply a function. It is everybody's job.“
Tom Blackstock, Vice President Supply Chain Operations Coca-Cola North America

Performance measurement - The SCOR Model (Level 1)
• Supply Chain Reliability– On time delivery Percentage– Order fulfillment lead time Days– Fill rate Percentage– Perfect Order Fulfillment Percentage
• Flexibility and Responsiveness– Supply Chain Response Time Days– Upside production flexibility Days
• Expenses– Supply Chain Management Costs Percentage– Warranty Cost / Revenue Percentage– Value added per employee Euros/RMB
• Assets / utilization– Total inventory days of supply Days– Cash-to-Cash Cycle time Days– Net Asset turns Turns

Complexity• Complexity is simply destroying the
profitability at many companies, and executives often can’t see what the true cause is.
• More suppliers, more parts, more forecasting, more customers to ship to, more returns to manage, etc.
• Our accounting systems lack the ability to well capture the true cost of this complexity, keeping it hidden.
• One major reason for increasing complexity is that companies do not do a realistic cost/benefit analysis on adding complexity.
“Complexity Factor” (CF) index. CF = # of suppliers
* # of customers * # of employees * # of SKUs * # of markets * # of SC locations * # of countries

Elements of complexity• Network complexity (nodes, links, tiers, distance, potential for unexpected
disruptions, …)• Process complexity (process steps, ownership, darwinian evolution, …)• Variety complexity (natural tendency to grow, impact on forecasting accuracy, …)• Product complexity (number of products, components, interactions, novelty,
technology, no commonality in BOM, …)• Customer complexity (customization demands, ordering patterns, frequency, size,
delivery requirements, …)• Supplier complexity (number of relationships, level of cooperative work, …)• Organizational complexity (silo organizations, not sharing info, tendency to create
intricacy, …)• Information complexity (tendency to opacity, systems not talking to each other, info
filtering, …)• ….

Drivers of Supply Chain ComplexityConfiguration andStructure
• Number of suppliers• Number of manufacturing locations• Number of distribution channels
• Number of distribution centers• Number of ship-to locations• Number of customers
Products and Services
• Number of products/services• Number of direct materials
• Number of shipments• Number of orders
Processes and Systems
• Supply chain processes and practices• Supply chain organization
• Manufacturing strategy• Number of legacy information systems

order now
So, the retailer gets a demand of 4, 4, 4, 5 and passes orders for 4, 4, 4, 10. What will happen to the wholesaler?

Conclusions
• Competition occurs at the level of supply chains• Complexity is increasing in supply chains• There are many types of complexity. They all factor into an overall system
complexity• There are two approaches to deal with complexity:
– Reduce complexity– Learn to how to handle it
• To improve it, there are some intermediate working stages
