DANCEST 805 Lecture Notes - Lecture 21: Supply Chain, Patent Infringement, Offshoring
Unit 1
1. Name four types of logistics and their objectives?
⚫ Procurement logistics: procurement of inexpensive high quality goods
⚫ Production logistics: aligning production with market demand and overall business objectives
⚫ Distribution logistics: provision of the right goods, in the right quantity at the right time, at the
right place and at optimal costs
⚫ Disposal logistics: increased efficiency and reduction of expenses in compliance with
ecological issues, environmental regulations, laws and directives
1.1 tasks of logistics 6 r-s: right quantity, right product, right costs, right time, right location,
right quality
1.2 Goals of SCM:
Effective deployment of global supply chains
Synchronization of supply and demand
Global measurement of performance
Value generation
Establishment of a competitive infrastructure
2. Name five offshoring and five backshoring reasons?
Reasons of relocation abroad/offshoring
Reasons of backshoring
Personnel costs 82%
Proximity to market 28%
Development of core competencies 25%
Flexibility 23%
Capacity utilization 22%
Coordination costs 13%
Flexibility 62%
Capacity utilization 47%
Quality 43%
Coordination costs 36%
Development of core competencies 23%
R&D centers close to production 21%
3. How high is the profit margin, assuming: Pc=20%, Mc=50%, E=2%? Why is it important to
save material costs in compare to increase the sale?
Pc=Mc*E/R R=profit margin R=Mc*E/Pc=50%*2%/20%=5%
Reduction of material costs in 2%, increase pro
4. Define the term Supply Chain and name three related activities
Supply chain is a global network to deliver products and services, starting from providing raw
material to the consumers using an organized flow of information, physical distribution and
payment. Currently it also includes networks for disposal and recycling.
Design, planning, operations and control
Unit 2
5. Which different goods can be distinguished within the materials management?
Raw material, purchased parts, auxiliary material, operating supply items, trading goods,
operating resources, services /ɔːɡˈzɪliəri/ 备用的
6. Which types of determination of material requirements are there? Name the respective
data basis!
⚫ Deterministic A- and B-parts: accurate determination of requirements concerning quantity
and dates (based on specific orders or production programs) analytic and synthetic
methods
⚫ Stochastic (consumption-driven) C-parts /stɒˈkæstɪk/ 随 机 的 : determination of
requirements using demand forecasts (based on statistical analyzes)
⚫ Heuristic (estimation) /hjuˈrɪstɪk/ 探索式的: determination of requirements (based on
subjective estimates of the logistics manager)
7. Which types of cost influence the optimal order quantity? Please give 3 examples of
each type of cost!
:
8. How is the most cost-effective order quantity calculated (incl. derivation and legend! (5
Points)) and which assumptions of the Andler-Model (5 Points) are necessary?
Assumptions of the ANDLER model:
1. Material requirements of the total period are fixed and comply with the order quantity.
2. The total order quantity has to be divided into equal order quantity sizes.
3. The outward stock movements are continuous and have equal lot sizes.
4. There are no supply bottlenecks and no restrictions of stocking and factoring.
5. There is no safety stock because of no time lag between stock withdrawal of the last unit
and reception.
6. Acquisition prices are defined constant.
9. Draft the storage model and term its operating figures!
Document Summary
Procurement logistics: procurement of inexpensive high quality goods. Production logistics: aligning production with market demand and overall business objectives. Distribution logistics: provision of the right goods, in the right quantity at the right time, at the right place and at optimal costs. Disposal logistics: increased efficiency and reduction of expenses in compliance with ecological issues, environmental regulations, laws and directives. 1. 1 tasks of logistics 6 r-s: right quantity, right product, right costs, right time, right location, right quality.
