Collaborative Supply Chains

Nancy Henderson — Thu, 10 Oct 2019 14:32:28 +0000

This case study illustrates the value generated by collaborative supply chain operations. It demonstrates the value that can be had when two different companies in the same industry combine their supply chain operations. If these companies are selling to many of the same customers, and if both of them compete against much larger companies then they can mutually benefit from creating a single supply chain to support both of their businesses – even if they still compete against each other to some degree.

The digital age is right here; everything is revolutionized. Not only has it changed and/or reshaped how the entire enterprise communities communicate and conduct businesses but specifically how the supply chains are operated and managed.
Thomas Friedman, superviser, Crunchy Candy Company

When you read this case study you will see the supply chains of Just Born Candy and Crunchy Candy Company. You will see the location of their factories and their distribution centers. Also shown are customers’ stores where they make deliveries. Each company does not sell to all of the same customers as the other, but there is a significant amount of overlap in the customers of the two companies. You can see the overlap in the supply chains of these two companies when you map them out as shown in the screenshot above. At the start of the case study both companies operate their own supply chains.

Customers would like to see fewer deliveries of candies in larger quantities like what they get from the bigger candy companies (M&M Mars and Hershey’s). They are also asking for lower prices. Both of these customer requests point toward combining supply chains. That way both smaller candy companies can make fewer and larger deliveries of their combined products. And if they can reduce their supply chain costs, they can also lower prices to their customers. In this case study each company makes and delivers two kinds of candy to customers. These products are shown as JBCandy1, JBCandy2, Crunchy1 and Crunchy2 . There is a spreadsheet reporting template you can use to analyze downloaded simulation data. Import your simulation data into the template and create monthly profit & loss reports as well as generate key performance indicators.

What path do the components in your food and beverage products travel before ending up on the store shelf? Do you know exactly where every pallet of tomatoes, every sack of flour, and every can of beer or soda came from and where it is now? Could you trace the exact path of a product in the event of a recall?

A proprietary system helps design the most efficient routes with a route algorithm. Dedicated staff constantly redesign this QSR’s routes for absolute optimization. Imagine if each shipping line or container operator followed their own specifications without adhering to the ISO Standards set for the industry. A unified shipping approach would have been impossible.

The Essential Guide to Cargo Damage gives you an indepth explanation into the types of cargo damage. Global trade involves the movement of cargo in ships from point to point across continents and the vast oceans. Seaborne trade accounts for almost 90% of the global trade, and with such a volume, it is inevitable that cargo damage may occur from time to time.

There are several people in the business of trading, who do not know or understand the types of cargo damage, how it happens, why it happens, how to prevent cargo damage and what needs to be done when faced with a cargo damage claim.

The Essential Guide to Cargo Damage is recommended for exporters and importers (whether first time or regular), traders, packing warehouses, shipping lines, transporters, cargo, freight claim handlers and freight forwarders.

Shipping, freight, and logistics are all part of the dynamic global transportation industry.. Whichever mode of transport you use, even the most meticulously planned shipment can go awry either due to natural disasters or man-made errors.. Cargo damage is one such disaster that not only gives rise to product and financial losses, but could also affect the relationship between customers and their service providers.

Cargo damage may happen at any stage in a shipment cycle. It may happen while cargo is in the possession of the seller, while cargo is being packed into a container, while cargo is being loaded onto a truck, cargo is in transit by sea, road or rail, while cargo is being offloaded at delivery, while cargo is in the possession of the buyer. Physical damage is when the cargo is damaged physically or causes physical damage to other assets or property as shown in some examples below.
