Virtual company - Biogen • Biogen managed the network of partners • Success story • FDA approval to market was 35 hours • No product shortages • No recalls • Production increased 5-fold over the next 3 years
Virtual company - Biogen • Benefits to Biogen • Competitive cost structure • Had limited and small scale production experience • Fixed assets low • Capital investment was low compared to the size of its business • Investment risk was shared by partners
Managing the Supply-Chain • Options: • Postponement • Channel assembly • Drop shipping • Blanket orders • Electronic ordering and funds transfer • Vendor managed inventory • Standardization • Internet purchasing (e-procurement)
Postponement • A tactic used by assemble-to-order and mass-customization firms • Delay the customization of a product or service until the last possible moment • e.g. Drug company produces the drug as a powder. When orders are received then produce tablets in the dosage for which the order was received.
Channel assembly • A form of postponement • Utilize the distribution channel as an assembly station • Warehouse performs a value-added service • e.g. Car battery manufacturer produces batteries for several private labels. The manufacturer ships unmarked batteries to warehouse. When orders are received, warehouse places decals for the brand name and packages for that private label.
Purchasing • Outsourcing • Make or buy decision • Partnering
Outsourcing • Choosing to purchase a service or part from an outside source; • Make or buy decision • Insourcing vs. outsourcing decision • Advantages • Allows the firm to focus on core competencies • Adds capacity without additional fixed cost and overhead • Can be more cost effective • Supports market agility

Partnering • Process of developing a long-term relationship with a supplier based on: • mutual trust • shared vision • shared information • shared risk
Beer distribution game • Consider a simplified beer supply chain, • A retailer who sells to the customer • A wholesaler which supplies the retailer • A distributor which supplies the wholesaler • A factory with unlimited raw materials which makes (brews) the beer and supplies the distributor • Each component in the supply chain has: • unlimited storage capacity • fixed supply lead-time • order delay time between each component
Beer distribution game • Each week, each component in the supply chain tries to meet the demand of the downstream component. • Any orders that cannot be met are recorded as backorders, and are met as soon as possible. • No orders will be ignored, and all orders must eventually be met.
Beer distribution game • At each period, each component in the supply chain is charged a $1.00 shortage cost per backordered item. • At each period, each location is charged $.50 inventory holding cost per inventory item that it owns. Each component owns the inventory at that facility. In addition, • the wholesaler owns inventory in transit to the retailer; • the distributor owns inventory in transit to the wholesaler; • the factory owns both items being manufactured and items in transit to the distributor.
Beer distribution game • Each supply chain member orders some amount from its upstream supplier. • It takes one week for this order to arrive at the supplier. • Once the order arrives, the supplier attempts to fill it with available inventory. • There is a two week transportation delay before the material being shipped by the supplier arrives at the customer who placed the order.

Supply-Chain Environments • Two supply chain designs for competitive advantage • Efficient supply chain • Goal is to minimize inventories and maximize the efficiency of manufacturers and suppliers in the chain • Responsive supply chain • Goal is to react quickly to market demands by positioning inventories and capacities in order to hedge against uncertainties of demand
