Case study of “benchmarking” logistics & supply chain mgt in Thailand Asst. Prof. Ruth Banomyong Head, Dept. of International Business, Logistics & Transport Thammasat Business School Banomyong@thammasat.net
Agenda • Benchmarking? • Benchmarking logistics framework • Example of Thai output • Questions & Answers
What is benchmarking? • Benchmarking is an improvement technique that considers how others perform a similar activity, task, process or function. • Benchmarking is not only a comparison of key performance indicators (KPIs) although benchmarking uses KPIs to compare operations.
Reasons to benchmark • The objective in developing the benchmarking exercise was to gain information on how organisations: 1.Defined current performance levels 2.Quantified the gap between current levels and best practice. 3.Managed the logistics process from the perspectives of inputs into the system and logistics outputs.
Best-in-Class Average Superior Performers Spend Less on Logistics Best practice performers have 4-6% lower total logistics costs (% of gross sales) Total Logistics Cost (Procurement, Inventory Carrying costs, Warehousing, Transport & Customer Service) % of Gross Sales 12% 12% 12 11% 10% 10% 10 8 7% <7% <6% <6% <6% <5% 6 <3% 4 2 0 Industrial Suppliers Pharma ceutical Supply Distributors Manufact urers Retail Suppliers Source: Benchmarking Success, 2002.
Benchmarking logistics framework • Benchmarking exercise conducted in 2002 with Thailand Productivity Institute. • 18 Thai companies registered • MNEs, State Enterprises & SMEs • Use of SCAR framework (Supply Chain Assessment Review)
World Class Supply Chains Service 19% of Supply Chains deliver >97% in full by line. Only 8% of supply chains match that with on-time Delivery Of >97% Only4% base that on the customer’s 1st request Cost Only half of these organisations do it at low cost! Only 2% of supply chains achieve world class DIFOT & low cost
DIFOT Calculation of Delivery in-full and on-time (DIFOT)
Procurement Overview Trade Offs Best Practice Procurement Supplier Performance (Service) Cost of Procured Product Cost of Procurement Function Manage Cross Functional Trade Offs
Supplier DIFOT What’s yours? - Delivery in-full Ave 93% Delivery on-time Ave 95% = Less Rejects Ave 1% X Supplier Performance Measure & manage via Supplier Evaluation What is the flow on effect to you? More inventory? Low service delivered to your customers? Unnecessary costs?
Balanced KPIs – Is Forecasting Important? 5 Strategic Level 1 Supply chain KPIs: • Customer service – DIFOT • Cost to deliver to service – total and functional % of sales, Cash cycle. • Sales Forecasting Accuracy. • Inventory Turn Over. • Supplier DIFOT (for distributor) or manufacturing performance.
A Benchmarking Model. The Charts (service-cost and inputs-outputs) uses the results from a Customer Order Fulfilment and Supply Chain Survey. Questions selected are those that impact on logistics best practice. The Customer Order Fulfilment and Supply Chain Survey consists of eight parts which include: • Profile of operation -DC/warehouse • Logistics & SCM structure -Transport • Purchasing -Customer service • Inventory management - Functional Costs
KPI ----------------------Performance------------------ CP DIFOT (in-full x on-time) <80% 90 – 94 % >98% CP Cash to Cash Cycle Time >80 Days 45- 55 Days <40 Days KPI Summary Comparisons with Relevant Grouping from the Database: e.g. 240 Manufacturers Including: IBM, HP, Campbells, Black & Decker, Fuji, 3M, Honeywell, Mars, Siemens, Kodak, Nestle, Coca Cola, etc WORLD CLASS CP Total Logistics Cost >8% 5 - 7% <4% CP Customer Claims >3% 2% <1% CP Stock Turnover 3 5 7 Disadvantage Parity Advantage
= Outlines the spread of other organisation's positions on the Champions-Challengers chart. Note the darker colouring designates greater concentration of companies. Cost & Service Chart Thisis the Cost and Service chart for 240 Australasian and Asian Pacific manufacturers. This chart illustrates the service delivered by the XXX Manufacturing supply chain, balanced against the costs incurred to deliver that service. “This plots XXX Manufacturing as a 85th percentile (low) cost operation delivering 95th percentile service levels across the supply chain. 100th percentile is best practice. The XXX Manufacturing supply chain operates in the cost-service square that indicates marginal service improvement potential and some cost reduction opportunity. XXX
Inputs & Outputs Chart = Outlines the spread of other organisation's positions on the Champions-Challengers chart. Note the darker colouring designates greater concentration of companies. Thisis the Inputs-Outputs chart for 240 Australasian and Asian Pacific manufacturers. This chart plots the XXX Manufacturing supply chain as having 100th [best on database!] percentile outputs. 100th percentile is best. The XXX Manufacturing supply chain operates in the inputs – outputs square that indicates some potential to further develop the input structure, in order to provide a robustness that will ensure XXX Manufacturing continue to deliver high outputs. Does the level of complexity require more sophisticated inputs? Would XXX maintain high outputs given a 20% surge in demand. XXX
Supply Chain Inputs Definitions: Plans: Business (including customer) plans & deployment. KPI: KPI reporting, integration deployment & alignment (operat ional & customer management). Culture: People, Leadership, communication, deployment, & relationships with customers & suppliers. Evaluation Tools: Strategic evaluation & management tools, e.g. Product Port Folio Technique (PPT), Pareto analysis of inventory (ABC), Customer research, supplier evaluation, etc. Enabling Technologies: Processes, applications & technologies that enable. Management processes & IT enablers (ERPs, EC, WMS). Structure: Organisational structure and responsibility and structure of supply chain. The chart below illustrates the performance of supply chain inputs (enablers) that XXX use to achieve their current service and cost structure. Underdeveloped inputs equate to close to the centre while best practice is extreme outside of web. XXX Supply Chain Inputs Plans 100% 80% 60% KPI Culture 40% 20% 0% Evaluation Tools Enabling Tech XXX Structure

Thailand Inputs & Outputs Chart Thisis the Inputs-Outputs chart for 18 Thai Supply Chains. Compared to other Thai companies: This chart illustrates the outputs delivered by Thai companies’ supply chains (an aggregate of service and cost), and the inputs structure (plans, systems, technologies, culture) in place to deliver those outputs.
