MOS 3330: Supply Chain Management 25 25 6. Sustainability in Supply Sustainability: Reduced use of resources, and harm to the environment, so that the future is not threatened. Supply chain sustainability: refers to companies’ efforts to consider the environmental and human impact of their products’ journey through the supply chain, from raw materials sourcing to production, storage, delivery and every transportation link in between. Sustainable Supply Chain Management: Supply chain management focuses on the speed, cost and reliability of operations, while sustainable supply chain management adds the goals of upholding environmental and societal values. This means addressing global issues such as climate change, water security, deforestation, human rights, fair labor practices and corruption. MOS 3330: Supply Chain Management Introduction 26 26 Key words in sustainability Biodegradable: Something capable of decaying into its basic components. Carbon emissions: Pollution released into the atmosphere from carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide; often produced by motor vehicles. Carbon footprint: The amount of carbon dioxide produced by your lifestyle. Climate change: Significant change in climate including temperature, precipitation, or wind that lasts for an extended period. Compostable: Decomposition of organic material within a specific time frame. Eco-friendly: Environmentally minded actions that cause minimal harm to the earth. Fair trade: Principles of fair treatment, wages, and safe working conditions for workers. Greenwashing: Misrepresenting something as being “green” when it’s not environmentally sound. Recyclable: Items that can either be reused or broken down and converted into new products. Renewable energy: Electricity from replenishable sources such as geothermal, hydropower, solar, and wind. MOS 3330: Supply Chain Management 27 27 Examples of sustainability in supply chains A road builder moved away from buying asphalt based only on the price – result was a cut in shipping distance and related carbon emissions by 40%. A fast-food company redesigned its packaging – eliminated literal tons of waste. A grocery store in Canada launched using refillable packaging for products such as ice cream, sauces, snacks, pet food, and toothpaste – reducing plastic waste. And when delivering products using route optimization to help ensure efficient customer deliveries. A car producer with a plant the size of about 60 football fields assembling some 375,000 cars each year and employing 5,500 people transformed its automotive assembly plant into a zero- landfill factory - lowering waste generation by 60% since 2000.

The cost of setting up the production process to make jeans is $150. The annual holding cost is $0.75 per pair, and the annual demand is 10,000 pairs. The manufacturing facility operates 311 days a year and produces 150 pairs of jeans per day. a) What is the length of production run? b) What is the maximum inventory level? MOS 3330: Inventory Management 46 46 5. Managing Safety Stock Safety stock: Buffer added to on-hand inventory to protect from demand/supply variability during the lead time EOQ model considers only anticipation inventory and says nothing about safety stock General objective: to minimize shortage costs  Method 1: % of annual demand as safety stock  Simplistic but common  Method 2: Satisfy a specified service level  Service level: The probability that the inventory available during lead time will meet demand  Service level method includes demand behaviour and probability of stockout in consideration MOS 3330: Inventory Management 47 47 Q Average Reorder demand point (R) during LT Safety Safety Stock Stock 0 Lead Lead Time Between time (L) time (L) receipt & order (P) MOS 3330: Inventory Management 48 48 FORECASTING Learning Objectives: 1. Qualitative vs. quantitative methods 2. Forecasting process 3. Time series methods Formula Sheet 4. Forecast error measures Formula Sheet MOS 3330: Forecasting 49 49 1. Introduction  Forecasting: A method for translating past experience and present events into predictions of the future  Forecasting in OM  Strategic: future products and markets  Planning: product demand  Forecasting horizon  Long-range (longer than 2 years) for strategy  Mid-range (weekly/monthly for up to 2 years) for planning  Short-range (hourly/daily for up to several months) for scheduling  Forecasting is important because  It is a starting point for business planning  All business decisions will follow the result of forecasting  “Bad” forecast can lead to a significant increase in cost MOS 3330: Forecasting 50 50 2. Types of Forecasting Methods  Qualitative: based on opinions or judgement of knowledgeable persons  Executive opinions, panel of experts  Market survey, focus group  Delphi method: to develop a consensus among experts  Quantitative: based on numerical data and mathematical models  Causal methods: based on a known or perceived relationship between the factor to be forecasted and other external or internal factors linear regression  Time series methods MOS 3330: Forecasting 51 51 Qualitative vs. Quantitative Qualitative Quantitative  Subjective  Objective  Can incorporate a variety of  Can incorporate large a volume information of information  Do not require numerical  Do not have to rely on few data individuals  Results may be biased  Numerical data may not be available  Results may be conflicting  Mathematical models may be too simplistic MOS 3330: Forecasting 52 52 1. Identify the purpose 3.Forecasting 2. Collect historical data Process 3. Examine data (plot) 4. Select appropriate models 5. Compute forecasts for historical data and check forecast accuracy 7b. Adjust No parameters 6. Is accuracy acceptable? or select new Yes model 7a. Forecast over planning horizon 8. Include qualitative information 9. Monitor results MOS 3330: Forecasting 53 53 4. Time Series Forecasting Methods  Based on statistical analysis of historical data  Time series: a set of observed values measured over successive time periods  Assumptions: (i) past demand is a predictor of future demand, and (ii) record of past demand is available  Time series demand behaviour  Average  stable over time  Trend  general increase or decrease in average demand  Seasonality  short-term periodic behaviour due to time of day, day of week, month, season, etc.  Cycle  long-term periodic behaviour due to product life cycles  Random variation  any remaining variability that cannot be explained; virtually unpredictable MOS 3330: Forecasting 54 54 Average Seasonal Pattern Cycle Demand Demand Demand Time Time Time Trend Trend with Seasonal Pattern Demand Demand Random movement Time Time MOS 3330: Forecasting 55 55 5. Time Series Forecasting Models Naïve Simple moving average Weighted moving average Exponential smoothing Adjustment for seasonality Data used in Examples 1-5: Period (t) Jan(1) Feb(2) Mar(3) Apr(4) May(5) Jun(6) Jul(7) Aug(8) Demand (Dt) 12 18 22 20 24 20 18 16 MOS 3330: Forecasting 56 56 5.1 Naïve Model Relies only on demand in the current period Short-term Sensitive to random variation Ft+1 = Dt Formula Sheet Ft+1 = forecast for period t+1 (or for any future period) Dt = actual demand in the most current period t Example 1: Use the naïve model to forecast demand for September. How about for October?  When would be a good idea to use the naïve model? MOS 3330: Forecasting 57 57 5.2 Simple Moving Average  Relies on the recent past  Smooth out random variations  Useful for stable demand Ft+1 = (Dt + Dt–1 +  + Dt–(N–1))/N Formula Sheet N = total number of periods used in calculation  Sensitivity to random variation depends on N  N is subjective Example 2: Use a 3-period moving average to forecast demand for Sept.  What happens to a seasonal effect if this model is used? MOS 3330: Forecasting 58 58 5.3 Weighted Moving Average  Weights represent the varying amounts of influence of past demand on forecast  Weights also reflect fluctuations in the demand data Ft+1 = Wt Dt + Wt–1 Dt–1 +  + Wt–(N–1) Dt–(N–1) Formula Sheet Wt = weight applied to period t’s demand  Weights are non-negative and sum to 1  Most common: most current demand has most influence  Weights and N are subjective Example 3: Suppose W8 = 0.7, W7 = 0.2, and W6 = 0.1. Use a weighted 3- period moving average to forecast demand for September. MOS 3330: Forecasting 59 59 5.4 Exponential Smoothing  A special case of weighted moving average  Requires minimal amount of data (but includes all past data) Ft+1 =  Dt + (1 – ) Ft Formula Sheet  = smoothing parameter (0 (Dem = 50)  Do not use OT/Sub  Revised TP = 60+0+0 = 60  Revised Inv = 10+6050 = 20 TC = (3600+600+1000) + 60 + 0 = $5260 MOS 3330: Aggregate Planning 83 83 Example 2b: Modify 1b – use hiring/firing to eliminate overtime and subcontracting  Start from Example 1b  Determine the level of workforce that would eliminate the need for overtime and subcontracting  For TP = 120 (from Example 1b), the workforce level of 120/2 = 60 would eliminate the need for OT/Sub TC = 7200 + 1980 + 6000 = $15180 MOS 3330: Aggregate Planning 84 84 Example 2c: Modify 1c – the target inventory level at the end of period 6 is 10 units  Start from Example 1c, where the ending inventory for period 6 = 48  To achieve the target = 10, we need to reduce inventory by 38 units  In order to reduce inventory, we need to reduce production, starting from period 6 and work your way up  Period 6: eliminate 3 from Sub & 20 from OT Total reduction in production  Period 5: eliminate 3 from Sub & 12 from OT = 3+20+3+12 = 38 units  Need to revise TP and Inv in periods 5&6 TC = (3600+1320+240) + 320 + 0 = $5480 MOS 3330: Aggregate Planning 85 85 5. Capacity Planning  Do we have enough capacity?  If enough, are we operating at the best operating level (for example, volume of output that results in the lowest average unit cost)?  Measuring capacity  Design capacity: Maximum output rate under ideal conditions Utilizationdesign =(actual output rate)/(design capacity)  Effective capacity: Maximum output rate under normal conditions Utilizationeffective =(actual output rate)/(effective capacity)  Capacity shortage  Should we outsource or expand?  If expanding, when to increase capacity and by how much?
