Impact of E-Business on Impact of E-Business on Operations ManagementOperations Management

Comparison shopping by customers

Direct contact with customers

Business processes conducted online

Customer expectations escalate; quality must be maintained and costs lowered

No more guessing about demand is necessary; inventory costs go down; product and service design improves; build to-order products and services is made possible

Transaction costs are lower; customer support costs decrease; e-procurement saves big bucks

Impact of E-Business on Impact of E-Business on Operations Management (cont.)Operations Management (cont.)

Access to customers worldwide

Middlemen are eliminated

Access to suppliers worldwide

Demand increases; order fulfillment and logistics become major issues; production moves overseas

Logistics change from delivering to a store or distribution center to delivering to individual homes; consumer demand is more erratic and unpredictable than business demand

Outsourcing increases; more alliances and partnerships among firms are formed; supply is less certain; global supply chain issues arise

Online auctions and e-marketplaces

Better and faster decision making

Competitive bidding lowers cost of materials; supply needs can be found in one location

More timely information is available with immediate access by all stakeholders in decision-making process; customer orders and product designs can be clarified electronically; electronic meetings can be held; collaborative planning is facilitated

IT synergy

Expanded supply chains

Productivity increases as information can be shared more efficiently internally and between trading partners

Order fulfillment, logistics, warehousing, transportation and delivery become focus of operations management; risk is spread out; trade barriers fall

Benefits of E-Business Impact on Operations

After the World Trade Center attack on Sept 11, 2001, US border was closed, and air travel shut down. With the help of internet and world-wide supplier network, Dell Computer could identify where production would be disrupted due to supply constraints- it quickly ramped up production in European & Asian plants and prioritizes orders to fill the most important customers first. Compaq, however, unable to ship $ 300 million worth of orders due to supply chain disruptions
