Enhancing Supply Chain Resiliency through Network Density Strategic Phase: Reinventing Network Design for Agility Three-Phase Process for Agile Supply Chain Design

Online retailing has changed. Before, e-commerce companies fulfilled consumer demand from a small number of large-scale warehouses that carried similar catalog of items. Inventory for low-volume products were maintained in a few locations as possible while maintaining service levels that met customer expectations.

Today, consumers are demanding more than just low prices. Consumers are also demanding that products ordered be delivered quickly. Demand for quick day delivery are now pushing retailers to experiment with new business and operations models. Notably, known retailers such as Amazon.com, Nordstrom, and Macy’s are redesigning their distribution networks. Retailers have recognized that the terms of competition have changed.

There is now an increasing need to invest on real-time sales and inventory information, coupled with advanced analytics to accommodate fluctuations and changes in the business environment quickly. This is what we call putting Agility in Supply Chain Network Design or Distribution Agility.

This presentation provides a comprehensive understanding of distribution agility and the 3-phase process of effective putting agility in supply chain network design.

1. Reinvent Network Design Thinking
2. Centralize Inventory and Logistics Data
3. Build Inventory and Pricing into Fulfillment Decisions

Adapting Agility in Supply Chain Network Design will lessen organizations need for major adjustments even when inventory costs factors fluctuate.

This deck also includes slide templates for you to use in your own business presentations.

This PPT delves into the evolving landscape of online retail, emphasizing the critical need for agility in supply chain network design. It outlines how traditional models are becoming obsolete and highlights the importance of real-time data and advanced analytics. The presentation is structured to guide you through a 3-phase process, from reinventing network design thinking to centralizing inventory and logistics data, and finally, integrating inventory and pricing into fulfillment decisions. This comprehensive approach ensures your organization can swiftly adapt to market changes, maintain competitive advantage, and meet customer expectations for speed and efficiency.

Enhancing Supply Chain Resiliency through Network Density

This PPT slide highlights the enhancement of network resiliency in supply chain management as a key benefit. Increased network resiliency protects against risks from market factors, such as labor strikes, and non-market factors, like weather disruptions, ensuring operational continuity. A significant challenge organizations face is recovering from disruptions, as the failure of a single node or link can substantially reduce network capacity. To address this, increasing network density serves as a solution, providing a natural hedge against disruptions and confining their impact to a smaller service area. This approach mitigates risks associated with network failures, enhancing operational resilience and efficiency. Adopting scale-based networks can further improve resilience, enabling companies to navigate disruptions more effectively.

Strategic Phase: Reinventing Network Design for Agility

This PPT slide outlines the initial phase of a strategic approach to network design thinking, focusing on optimizing cost and performance in customer service. Key components include reinventing distribution and information networks in supply chain operations to enhance responsiveness and agility. A real-time information system that tracks sales data by time and location is essential for informed decision-making and inventory management. The "Impact" section indicates that this phase supports both agile and traditional systems, allowing organizations to adapt quickly to market changes. A case study of Amazon illustrates the effectiveness of these strategies, showcasing its expansion of distribution networks to improve fulfillment capabilities and serve as a benchmark for enhancing supply chain agility.

Three-Phase Process for Agile Supply Chain Design

This PPT slide outlines a three-phase process for enhancing agility in supply chain network design. The first phase, "Reinvent Network Design Thinking," involves redesigning the physical distribution network and supporting information systems for a more integrated approach to market responsiveness. The second phase, "Centralize Inventory and Logistics Data," emphasizes establishing a robust data analysis system for accurate forecasting and effective historical data management, enhancing decision-making capabilities and operational efficiency. The final phase, "Build Inventory and Pricing into Fulfillment Decisions," advocates for integrating inventory levels and pricing strategies in fulfillment decisions, enabling companies to adapt to demand and supply fluctuations, improving service levels and customer satisfaction. This agile approach leads to faster delivery times and greater resilience against disruptions.

Enhancing Supply Chain Agility for Optimal Performance

This PPT slide outlines the benefits of Supply Chain Agility, addressing the historical conflict between low prices and fast delivery. Traditionally, supply chains have struggled to balance responsiveness and efficiency, often compromising overall performance. The phrase "no free lunch was ever served quickly" highlights that achieving low costs and rapid delivery requires strategic adjustments. Embedding agility in a retail distribution network mitigates the conflict between responsiveness and efficiency, enhancing operational capabilities to meet market demands while maintaining cost-effectiveness. Additionally, increased network resiliency allows agile supply chains to withstand disruptions and adapt to changes, maintaining service levels during unforeseen events. Agility in supply chain management fosters enhanced strategies for planning and operations, improving overall performance and guiding informed investment decisions in supply chain enhancements.
