Why Supply Management is Critical (1 of 5)
Global Sourcing
Firms do not compete only against global competitors, but against their competitors’ supply chains.
To keep up with global competition and tap into the abilities of world-class suppliers, many companies have put in place global sourcing systems.
Advances in information systems have served as a catalyst for global sourcing efforts.
Global sourcing applies to services and business processes, as well as manufactured goods.

Why Supply Management is Critical (4 of 5)
Financial Impact
Cost of goods sold – The purchased cost of goods from outside suppliers.
Merchandise inventory – A balance sheet item that shows the amount a company paid for the inventory it has on hand at a particular point in time.
Profit margin – The ratio of earnings to sales for a given time period.
Return on assets (ROA) – A measure of financial performance generally defined as Earnings/Total Assets

Example 7.1 – Target Corporation (1 of 3)
Table 7.3 Selected Financial Data for Target Corporation (all figures in $ millions)
| Earnings and Expenses, 2010 | Blank |
| Sales | $65,786 |
| Cost of goods sold (COGS) | $45,725 |
| Pretax earnings | $4,629 |
| Selected Balance Sheet Items (As of January 29, 2011) | Blank |
| Merchandise inventory | $7,596 |
| Total assets | $17,213 |
Copyright © 2019, 2016, 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Example 7.1 – Target Corporation (2 of 3)
Financial Impact
Every dollar saved in purchasing lowers COGS by $1 and increases pretax profit by $1.
Profit leverage effect – A term used to describe the effect of $1 in cost savings increasing pretax profits by $1 and a $1 increase in sales increasing pretax profits only by $1 multiplied by the pretax profit margin.
Every dollar saved in purchasing lowers the merchandise inventory figure – and as a result, total assets – by $1.

Example 7.1 – Target Corporation (3 of 3)

| Earnings and Expenses | Current | Reflecting Savings |
| Sales | $65,786 | $65,786 |
| COGS | $45,725 | $44,353 |
| Pretax earnings | $4,629 | $6,001 |

Why Supply Management is Critical (5 of 5)
Performance Impact
Cost is not the only consideration.
Purchased goods and services can have a major effect on other performance dimensions including quality and delivery performance.

Example 7.2 – Springfield Hospital (1 of 3)
Springfield Hospital has two dialysis machines, each with a special valve that is normally replaced every two weeks when the machines are idle. As a result, Springfield uses about 50 valves per year. The hospital has two alternative sources for the valves. The purchase price and quality for these two suppliers are as follows:
| Blank | Supplier A | Supplier B |
| Price per valve | $10 | $2 |
| % Good | 99.8% | 95% |
Copyright © 2019, 2016, 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Example 7.2 – Springfield Hospital (2 of 3)
Effect of defective valve
Interruption in patient treatment
Rescheduling difficulties
Reduction in the effective capacity for dialysis
Possible medical emergencies
Estimated cost of a failed valve = $1,000 per incident
Copyright © 2019, 2016, 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Example 7.2 – Springfield Hospital (3 of 3)
Sourcing 50 dialysis machine valves (Total Costs)
| Yearly Costs | Supplier A | Supplier B |
| Valves | 50 × $10 = $500 | 50 × $2 = $100 |
| Failure costs | 0.2% of all valves fail: 0.2% × 50 valves × $1,000 = $100 | 5% of all valves fail: 5% × 50 valves × $1,000 = $2,500 |
| Total cost | $600 | $2,600 |

The Strategic Sourcing Process (1 of 17)
Strategic Sourcing
Identifying ways to improve long-term business performance by better understanding sourcing needs, developing long-term sourcing strategies, selecting suppliers, and managing the supply base.
Figure 7.1 The Strategic Sourcing Process
Copyright © 2019, 2016, 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
The Strategic Sourcing Process (2 of 17)
Step 1: Assess Opportunities
Spend Analysis – The application of quantitative techniques to purchasing data in an effort to better understand spending patterns and identify opportunities for improvement.
What categories of products or services make up the bulk of company spending?
How much are we spending with various suppliers?
What are our spending patterns like across different locations?
Copyright © 2019, 2016, 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
The Strategic Sourcing Process (3 of 17)
Step 2: Profile Internally and Externally
Two approaches to creating profiles:
Category profile – Understanding all aspects of a particular sourcing category that could ultimately have an impact on the sourcing strategy.
Industry Analysis – Profiling the major forces and trends that are impacting an industry, including pricing, competition, regulatory forces, substitution, technology changes, and supply/demand trends.
Copyright © 2019, 2016, 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
The Strategic Sourcing Process (4 of 17)
Step 3: Develop the Sourcing Strategy
The Make-or-Buy Decision - A high-level, often strategic, decision regarding which products or services will be provided internally and which will be provided by external supply chain partners.
Insourcing – The use of resources within the firm to provide products or services.
Outsourcing – The use of supply chain partners to provide products or services.

Step 3: Develop the Sourcing Strategy
Total cost analysis – A process by which a firm seeks to identify and quantify all of the major costs associated with various sourcing options.
Direct costs – Costs tied directly to the level of operations or supply chain activities.
Indirect costs – Costs that are not tied directly to the level of operations or supply chain activity.

The Strategic Sourcing Process (9 of 17)
Step 3: Develop the Sourcing Strategy
Portfolio analysis – A structured approach used by decision makers to develop a sourcing strategy for a product or service, based on the value potential and the relative complexity or risk represented by a sourcing opportunity.
The Routine Quadrant – Readily available products or services representing a relatively small portion of a firm’s purchasing expenditures.
The Leverage Quadrant – Standardized and readily available products or services representing a significant portion of spend.
Copyright © 2019, 2016, 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Step 3: Develop the Sourcing Strategy
The Bottleneck Quadrant – Products or services with unique or complex requirements that can be met only by a few potential suppliers.
The Critical Quadrant – Products or service with unique or complex requirements coupled with a limited supply base.
Single sourcing – The buying firm depends on a single company for all or nearly all of a particular item or service.
Copyright © 2019, 2016, 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
The Strategic Sourcing Process (11 of 17)
Step 3: Develop the Sourcing Strategy
Multiple sourcing – The buying firm shares its business across multiple suppliers.
Cross sourcing – The buying firm uses a single supplier for one particular part or service and another supplier with the same capabilities for a different part or service.
Dual sourcing – The buying firm uses two suppliers for the same purchased product or service.

Step 6: Negotiate and Implement Agreements
Competitive bidding – A request for bids from suppliers with whom a buyer is willing to do business.
Request for quotation – A formal request for the suppliers to prepare bids, based on the terms and conditions set by the buyer.

The Strategic Sourcing Process (16 of 17)
Step 6: Negotiate and Implement Agreements
Negotiating – A more costly, interactive approach to final supplier selection. This is used best when:
The item is a new or technically complex item with only vague specifications.
The purchase requires agreement about a wide range of performance factors
The buyer requires the supplier to participate in the development efforts.
The supplier cannot determine risks and costs without additional input from the buyer.

The Strategic Sourcing Process (17 of 17)
Step 6: Negotiate and Implement Agreements
Contracting – The process of creating a detailed purchasing contract to formalize the buyer-supplier relationship.
Fixed-price contract – Stated price does not change.
Cost-based contract – Price of the good or service is tied to the cost of some other key input(s) or other economic factors.
