General Overview (Eric Mirro) • Eaton Corporation • $22 billion in Sales as of 2013 • Industry: Power Management • Four Sectors: Electrical (largest), Aerospace, Vehicle, Hydraulic • Customer Manufacturing Solution Centers (CMSC) • Sixteen locations in the U.S. • Two major plants: Sumter, SC and Fayetteville, NC • Two major warehouses: W34 (Duncan, SC) and W87 (Los Angeles, CA)
Problem Statement (Eric Mirro) • How to improve overall inventory levels and reduce premium freight costs in short term and ensure growth for long-term?
Assumptions (Eric Mirro) • The Electrical Sector will continue to grow • The demand from large tech companies such as Google will continue to grow • The other parts of the supply chain such as the CSMCs, will be stable • The risk of stockout at warehouse and CSMCs is high
Qualitative Analysis (Siyi Ren) • Underlying issue: stockout risk from warehouses and CSMCs • This starts the cycle that leads to the other issues mentioned • True problem Cycle of inventory and costs
Stockout of W87(Siyi Ren) Western sites which are close to W87 Similar Amounts of Order from W87 and W34
High Premium Freight Frequency& High Inventory Level (Siyi Ren) Monthly Inventory >Monthly Sales 7.81% of total sale
Potential CMSC Location(Siyi Ren) Sites with growth in 2013: Chicago-SVC, Dallas-SAT, Denver-SAT, Houston-SVC, Los Angeles-SVC, San Francisco-SAT, Seattle-SAT
Recommended Inventory Level (Siyi Ren) (Total Orders from Western Sites – Orders from Western Sites to W87)*20% =$8,189,448.29
Potential Risks and Mitigation (Zhao Cui) Cycle could occur to other sectors Repeat procedure for other sectors
Problem and Recommendation (Zhao Cui) • How to improve overall inventory levels and reduce premium freight costs in short term and ensure growth for long-term? • Build a new dedicated warehouse somewhere in California and then, for the long run, invest in more CMSCs as needed
