Q

Operational risks are recurrent risks that come from within the supply
chain itself

A
  • Related to business processes (uncertainty of supply and demand)
  • Often involve the bullwhip effect
  • Impact operational parameters (e.g. lead time and inventory)
  • Require time-efficient coordination to balance demand and supply
  • Prevention steps: improving flow of information along the value chain

Q

bullwhip effect

A

The bullwhip effect occurs when small fluctuations in retail demand cause fluctuations in wholesale, distributor and manufacturer demand, resulting in inefficiency and disorganization throughout the supply chain.

„Bullwhip“ efektas atsiranda, kai nedideli mažmeninės paklausos svyravimai sukelia didmeninės prekybos, platintojų ir gamintojų paklausos svyravimus, dėl kurių visoje tiekimo grandinėje atsiranda neefektyvumas ir netvarka.

A

They are associated to the costs encountered to change production level (overtime, hiring, shift, etc.)

48
Q

Inventories help make a manufacturing operation more productive in
four ways:

A
  1. Inventory between operations with different rates allows them to run independently and more economically – decoupling inventory
  2. Inventory build-up for high selling seasons reduce:
    o Overtime costs
    o Hiring and firing costs
    o Training costs
    o Subcontracting costs
    o Capacity requirements
  3. Longer production runs → it results in lower setup costs and increased capacity (or higher utilization)
  4. High quantity purchases of raw material and components leading to reduced transportation and purchase costs
49
Q

Inventory management deals with:

A

o Which inventory items are most important
o How items are to be controlled
o How much to order at one time
o When to place an order

50
Q

The ABC inventory classification system determines the importance of
items and classifies them into three different categories based on their
relative importance:

A

o A-products
o B-products
o C-products

Q

Two main types of review systems:

A

o Continuous review system (or continuous review policy)
o Periodic review system (or periodic review policy)

54
Q

The main difference between continuous and periodic review systems:

A

o In Continuous review system: the quantity ordered is the same and the time between orders varies
o In Periodic Review System: the time between orders is constant and the order quantity varies

55
Q

The review system supports in determining:

A

o How much to order at one time
o When to place an order

Q

Ripple effect

A

Ripple effect is a specific area of SC disruptions and a strong stressor to SC resilience. Research on the ripple effect analyses how one or more disruptive events propagate through the SC and impact its resilience and performance.

60
Q

In supply chain management, lead time exclusively refers

A

to the time it takes for a supplier company to have goods ready for delivery. For example, an apparel company may have a 7-day lead time for custom t-shirts. Typically, this measurement does not include shipping time.

61
Q

Network Optimization (NO)

A

The objective of the network optimization (NO) is to find the optimal combination
of factories and/or distribution centers in the supply chain

62
Q

Optimization models

A

produce notable insights for managers and can be applied where
the probability of disruption can be roughly estimated.

63
Q

The ABC inventory classification system determines the importance of items and
classifies them into three different categories based on their relative importance:

A
  1. A-products
  2. B-products
  3. C-products
64
Q

The ABC inventory classification system determines the importance of items and
classifies them into three different categories based on their relative importance:
1. A-products
2. B-products
3. C-products

A

It allows different levels of control based on their classification

65
Q

Usually, ABC analysis is based on

A

annual dollar usage

66
Q

Formula of Annual dollar usage

A

annual usage * unit cost

67
Q

The ABC principle is based on the observation that a small number of items often
dominate the results achieved in any situation →

A

Pareto’s law (80% of profit will come from the 20% of products)

68
Q

Steps in making the ABC analysis:

A
  1. Establish the item characteristics that influence the importance of an item (e.g.,
    annual dollar usage)
  2. Classify items into groups based on the established criteria (classes A, B and C
    according to Pareto’s principle)
    a. Determine the annual usage for each item
    b. Multiply the annual usage of each item by its cost to get its total annual dollar
    usage
    c. List their items according to their annual dollar usage
    d. Calculate the cumulative annual dollar usage and the cumulative percentage of
    items
    e. Examine the annual usage distribution and group the items into A, B, and C
    groups based on a percentage of annual usage
69
Q

Be aware: inventory control is exercised through individual items in a particular
inventory →

A

stock-keeping units (SKUs)

70
Q

Economic order quantity (EOQ)

A

is commonly used to specify the quantity

71
Q

What quantity to order:

A

Q*

72
Q

Key trade-off:

A
  1. Smaller lot sizes → low inventory carrying cost
  2. Larger lot sizes → reduction in ordering cost
73
Q

What is the order point?

A

An order is placed when the on hand inventory reaches a
predetermined level, that is the order point

74
Q

OP (Order Point) =

A

DDLT (Demand During Lead Time)

75
Q

Therefore, safety stock needs to be used

A

OP (Order Point) = DDLT (Demand During Lead Time) + SS (Safety Stock)

76
Q

Safety stock is intended to protect against uncertainty in supply and demand due to

A
  1. Quantity uncertainty (fluctuating customer demand, forecast inaccuracy)
  2. Timing uncertainty (time of receipt of supply or demand differs from what expected)
77
Q

Safety stock level depends on:

A

Demand variability during lead time → higher variability, higher SS
Reorder frequency → higher frequency, lower SS
Desired service level → higher service level, higher SS
Length of lead time → longer lead time, higher SS

78
Q

dealing with demand uncertainty, safety stock protects against

A

random variation, not bias
