Develop business segmentation through Supply Chain differentiation multiple parallel Supply Chains Customer Channel Distribution Channel Product Demand/supply situation Making use of a responsive and agile Supply Chain with improved (quasi) real-time Supply Chain visibility

Having the Right Information at All Levels in the Organisation is Key to Drive the Supply Chain (ROA, Availability,)

Supply Chain Management Policy

Supply Chain Challenges @ BS


Context Dynamic global economic conditions Unprecedented competition Rapidly changing consumer preferences Supply Chain requirements Increased volatility and variability Cost pressure on Supply Chain Supply Chains contribution to RoA target Maximise profitability Maximum Sales (Fill Rate) and Gross Profit Reducing operating cost Efficiency of total company operations Reduce working capital Reduction inventory levels (FG, WIP, RM) Minimise assets used
Industry Top challenges within Supply Chain (Capgemini Study*)
Continued pressure to reduce supply chain costs Managing volatility and variability Lack of visibility into the supply chain Delivery performance does not meet customer requirements Too much working capital (poor cash flow) Global economic conditions Globalisation of Supply Chain Management Business, IT and SCM strategy out of sync Long lead times Extended and complex supply chains Unreliability of supply base Availability of suitable people to carry out SCM activities Product introduction/exit Complexity of regulations and compliance Contract manufacturing capacity constraints Expanding/Operating in emrging markets Other Sustainability

Industry Top trends within Supply Chain (Capgemini Study*)


Increased Service requirements Increased collaboration & Transparency Increased focus on logistics improvements Globalization of sourcing Growth in emerging markets (global sales) Globalization of production facilities Other Increased competition from new countries

*Source : Capgemini Global Supply Chain Planning Study 2009

Information Challenges @ BS
In the past material flows have been optimized (centralisation, automation,) resulting in only marginal opportunities to further optimize Supply chains become more and more information driven and Information complexity and proliferation increases Increasing line-up complexity Demand variability, customer collaboration programs (VMI,) Global and dispersed supply Increase flexibility & speed Increased need on visibility of supply Track & Trace of products Extended Supply Chain coverage Contribute to ROA objectives

From the three key flows in any supply chain ( Material, Resources , Information), information becomes the competitive battle field

How is Bridgestone Addressing these challenges ?


Create Total information system to connect retail stores, sales organisations, manufacturing plants, headquarters, Product Development centres and external/internal suppliers, cutting across organisational and informational silos At all level employees should have (real-time) access to recent sales, product range information, inventory levels, production schedule, cost components, in order to perform their job correctly Important is to put information into the hands of the people who need it and know how to get it and know what to do with it
Management reporting: Structured & standardised reports & KPIs On-demand reporting: Ad-hoc, fast access to all levels of details

Supply Chain & Information Unit created in order to play a key role, together with the other units, in defining the managerial and operational information required to transform and manage the business successfully

Example on How Data is Used to Support Business Decisions Network analysis & tender support
