A Resilient Supply Chain in A Competitive Global Market:
The Role of the Practitioner
6th Dec 2019
Mensvic Hotel
Presenter: Farouk Sai
CONTENT• WHAT IS SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT ?
• ROLE OF THE PRACTITIONER IN SUMMARY
• DEMAND FORECASTING
• SUPPLY PLANNING
• PROCUREMENT PRACTICES
• DISTRIBUTION AND WAREHOUSING
• SHE
• SC CAPACITY BUILDING
COMPETITIVE GLOBAL MARKET
The Global Market is Volatile , Uncertain ,Complex and Ambiguous (VUCA)
•V = Volatility: the nature and dynamics of change, and the nature and speed of
change forces and change catalysts.
•U = Uncertainty: the lack of predictability, the prospects for surprise, and the
sense of awareness and understanding of issues and events.
•C = Complexity: the multiplex of forces, the confounding of issues, no cause-and-
effect chain and confusion that surrounds organization.
•A = Ambiguity: the haziness of reality, the potential for misreads, and the mixed
meanings of conditions; cause-and-effect confusion.
✓ Comes together to either confound decisions or sharpen the capacity to look
• Are we measuring the deviations from the forecast and correcting
them? E.g. Forecast Accuracy and Bias , ROI on promos.
SUPPLY PLANNING
• Do we make or buy ?
• Are we flexible and agile to produce quality products to meet
customers orders in-time and in-full?
• Do we have enough inventory to meet customer orders in full and
on-time?
• Are we keeping working capital levels within industry levels ?
• Do we have long –term investments in plants and machinery to meet
future demand
• Are we using latest tech to produce efficiently?
• Do we have quality culture embedded in the minds of the people in
the organization? Quality first time right!!
SOURCE (PROCUREMENT)
• Are we sourcing competitively to derive value for money as well as
sustainably?
• Are we working with and developing our suppliers to ensure win-win
situation?
• Are we using vendor managed inventory (VMI) to reduce warehouse
cost?
• Are we using tendering/bids strategy in sourcing to ensure
transparency?
• Do we have conflict of interest situations in awarding contracts?
• Are the procurement managers honest enough or transparent?
• Do we apply the ethics of the procurement profession?
• Are we sourcing all materials abroad or considering local purchases
to minimize FX impact on the P&L?
DELIVER (DISTRIBUTION & WAREHOUSE MGT)
• Are we using the distributor model or direct sales?
• Are we measuring how satisfied our customers are satisfied with
deliveries? Case-fill & on-time deliveries!!
• Are our cost-to-serve comparably favorable to industry bench marks?
• Have we outsourced the distribution or we do it ourselves?
• Are we using or exploring e-commerce?
• Are we analysing the warehouse capacities in line with growing
consumer demands in the medium to long term?
• Are we practicing FIFO/FEFO in the warehouse to minimise
obsolescence/write-offs?
• Are we taking inventory everyday to improve stock accuracy and reduce
theft?
• Are we using technology to track 02C cycle?
• Are the warehouses clearly segregated for easy location of skus?
SAFETY,HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT(SHE)
• Is SHE embedded as a way of life in the organization? Are the top
management committed to ensure adherence by all employees.
• Are we recording too many over-time leading to exhaustion and
accidents at the workplace?
• Do we have enough signages in the plant clearly highlighting unsafe
or hazardous areas to be avoided?
• Do we have floor markings at your plant clearly separating vehicular
movement from people or pedestrian movement?
• Have we provided the right PPE to be used by persons to work?
• Are the employees taking their leave in supply chain?
• Are we treating our waste or by-products from our plants before
disposing them into the environment
• Are we using environmentally-friendly technology to produce?
SUPPLY CHAIN KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
• Are we using the forecast bias & accuracy to drive behavioral
change in demand forecasting?
• Do we keep too much stocks than needed thereby locking capital
in the warehouse?
• Are we using the inventory turn ratio to highlight to the business
the harm over-stocking /over- production is doing to the P&L?
• Are we high-lighting the persistent low sales/demand and its
corresponding building of stocks which may lead to write-offs.
• Are we using the DOH ratio to drive improvement in stock holding?
SUPPLY CHAIN CAPABILITY BUILDING
• Are we developing a SC talent pool to meet future supply chain
requirements? We will need demand & supply planners ,
procurement managers/buyers, manufacturing managers, SHE
managers ,supply chain professionals etc.
• Are we coaching and mentoring our direct reports to take-over from
us? Succession plan?
• Are we exposing our key persons to effective decision-making and
analytical skills?
• Are we changing the thought process of our direct reports to move
from short-term to medium-long term planning?
CHALLENGES
• Lack of understanding of supply chain management . Procurement is a subset of supply chain management
• Dynamic changes in the market (demand variability)
• Lack of skilled personnel e.g. Demand/Supply planners
• Foreign exchange volatility on material pricing
• Long lead times (Asia ,Europe ,Americas)
• Rising warehousing & transportation costs
• High freight cost especially across West Africa
• High imports
THE BENEFITS OF SUSTAINABLE SCM
• Better forecasting to meet customer demands (keal and herbert 2010)
• Revenue improvements from 2%-5% . (amr research)
• Improve customer service improvement (stock availability loss reduction)
• Balanced inventory across product lines and customers
• More stable production rates and higher productivity
• More co-operation across the entire operations
• Improve in working capital through inventory reduction
• Typically, operating units can achieve 7-15% reduction in inventory.
• More efficient decision-making
• Greater focus on long-term horizon (smiths and kipala 2012)

How businesses can achieve greater success with resilient Supply Chain management
Case StudyWhen Boeing announced plans to assemble the 787 Dreamliner in late 2003, it introduced a new concept to the assembly of a commercial aircraft.
Instead of building the plane from the ground up, subcontractors from around the globe would deliver completed subassemblies to Boeing’s factory in Everett, Wash. for final assembly.
The approach was intended to create a leaner manufacturing process however,-
▪ Development of the new aircraft was beset by numerous supply chain related disruptions
▪ Events that interrupted the flow of products and information between raw materials, production, and the end customer.
One of those disruptions occurred in January 2013, when the Dreamliner was grounded by the FAA due to overheating of its new lithium-ion battery.
• As a result, Boeing needed to slow production of this innovative aircraft until it determined the source of the overheating - a source that appeared to lie within in its supply chain, according to news reports.
• The question for Boeing was how quickly it could identify the source of the overheating and recover from the disruption
• At bottom, that was a question of how resilient the Dreamliner supply chain was. Boeing is not alone.
“Resilience is at the heart of current supply chain management thinking, and understanding the concept,
and where to invest in resilience, can lead to supply chains that quickly respond to and recover from costly
disruptions.” Supply Chain 24/7
Resilience in Supply Chain Management
Supply chain resilience is “the ability of a supply chain to both resist disruptions and recover operational capability after disruptions occur.”
Viewed from this perspective, resilience consists of two critical but complementary system components: the capacity for resistance and the capacity for recovery
•Resistance capacity is the ability of a system to minimize the impact of a disruption by:
• evading it entirely (avoidance) • minimizing the time between disruption and recovery
•Recovery capacity is the ability of a system to return to functionality once a disruption has occurred. Usually characterized by:
• stabilization phase after which a return to a steady state of performance can be pursued.
Both capacities are based on the resilience of an entity’s Supply chain structure
Statistics• According to a survey by Deloitte from 2014, 79% of companies
with high-performing supply chains achieve revenue growth superior to the average within their industries.
• Conversely, just 8% of businesses with less capable supply chains report above-average growth. That figure highlights like no other how critical the interrelations are between an entity and its supply chain.
• Given that something like 50% of businesses, regardless of their size, fail or close down within five years of launch, it can be deduced that poor supply chain performance commonly contributes to corporate or business failure. Similarly, one can assume that in many cases, businesses that fail do so because of financial problems—a fact that makes the following statistic also worthy of consideration:
• In Ghana and across Africa, Supply Chain in many indigenous businesses, have not been subject to a design process, but has instead just … evolved.
• 44% of businesses in fail because of poor strategic management. Supply chain strategy is critical to business success, but companies often underestimate its importance and hence pay it less leadership attention than other areas of operation.
• It is also common for the supply chain to be the least understood area of strategic business management, which for an activity generating up to 90% of overall business costs, is alarming indeed.
Supply Chain Management in Ghana
What does this mean
Supply chain and its management are essential to the success of any businesses operating in today’s local and global markets.
• “Supply Chain Resilience is at the heart of current supply chain management thinking. Understanding the concept, and where to invest in resilience, can lead to supply chain that quickly respond to and recover from costly disruptions”
Source : Understanding Supply by by Steven A. Melnyk, David J. Closs, Stanley E. Griffis, Christopher W. Zobel, and John R. Macdonald
1. Supply Chain Strategy/Design• A properly designed supply chain strategy is an
enabler for achieving commercial goals and consequently, corporate success.
• Your supply chain strategy should support the overall strategy of your business
• Designing and implementing supply chain that can be configured and quickly respond to changes (especially the part dealing with outbound distribution from plants or warehouses)– Strategies to better manage suppliers at all levels– Supply base configuration– Choosing flexible partners
2. Discovery
Invest in the ability of the firm to identify problems in the Supply Chain
– Improved IT and Information sharing
– Early warning by supply chain partners
– Forecasting
– Demand sensing
– Monitoring of performance in supply chain including ethics
3. Information
Investment in improving the quantity, speed and quality of information flowing within the supply chain

Creation of excess cushions in the form of inventory, capacity and lead time
– Inventory management
– Excess operating capacity
– Safety stock
5. Operating Flexibility
Changing flows or product specifications in response to supply chain problems
– Transportation alternatives
– Variable bill of materials
6. Security
Protecting the system from supply chain shocks in the form of theft, damage or counterfeiting

➢ When respondents to a survey were asked how much progress their company has made in creating an ethical supply chain over the past two years, less than a third – 31% said they had advanced their initiative.
➢ And despite supply chain ethics being stated as important, nearly four in 10 organizations (38 percent) aren’t actively monitoring their supply chains for ethical practices.
Mrs Evelyn Sam
Expectations of the Supply chain team
