Supply Chain Management

Lecture 10

Outline

• Today– Finish Chapter 6 (Decision tree analysis)– Start chapter 7

• Tomorrow– Homework 2 due before 5:00pm

• Next week– Chapter 7 (Forecasting)

Example: Decision Tree Analysis

• New product with uncertain demand ($85 profit/unit)– Annual demand expected to go up by 20% with

probability 0.6– Annual demand expected to go down by 20% with

probability 0.4– Use discount factor k = 0.1

Example

Decision Trees (Summary)

• A decision tree is a graphic device used to evaluate decisions under uncertainty

1. Identify the duration of each period and the number of time periods T to be evaluated

2. Identify the factors associated with the uncertainty

3. Identify the representation of uncertainty

4. Identify the periodic discount rate k

5. Represent the tree, identifying all states and transition probabilities

6. Starting at period T, work back to period 0 identify the expected cash flows at each step• (Alternatively, calculate the NPV of each possible scenario

separately)

Decision Trees

• Using decision trees to evaluate network design decisions– Should the firm sign a long-term contract for

warehousing space or get space from the spot market as needed

– What should the firm’s mix of long-term and spot market be in the portfolio of transportation capacity

– How much capacity should various facilities have? What fraction of this capacity should be flexible?


• Three options for Trips Logistics1. Get all warehousing space from the spot market as

needed

2. Sign a three-year lease for a fixed amount of warehouse space and get additional requirements from the spot market

3. Sign a flexible lease with a minimum change that allows variable usage of warehouse space up to a limit with additional requirement from the spot market


• Trips Logistics input data– Evaluate each option over a 3 year time horizon (1

period is 1 year)• Demand D may go up or down each year by 20% with

probability 0.5• Warehouse spot price p may go up or down by 10%

with probability 0.5• Discount rate k = 0.1

From Design to Planning

• Network design– C4 Designing Distribution Networks– C5 Network Design in the Supply Chain– C6 Network Design in an Uncertain Environment

• Planning in a supply chain– C7 Demand Forecasting in a Supply Chain– C8 Aggregate Planning in a Supply Chain– C9 Planning Supply and Demand

Demand Forecasting

• How does BMW know how many Mini Coopers it will sell in North America?

• How many Prius cars should Toyota build to meet demand in the U.S. this year? Worldwide?

• When is it time to tweak production, upward or downward, to reflect a change in the market?

What factors influence customer demand?

Factors that Affect Forecasts

• Past demand• Time of year/month/week• Planned advertising or marketing efforts • Planned price discounts • State of the economy• Market conditions • Actions competitors have taken

Example: Demand Forecast for Milk• A supermarket has experienced the following weekly

demand (in gallons) over the last ten weeks– 109, 116, 108, 103, 97, 118, 120, 127, 114, and 122

What is a reasonable demand forecast for milk for the upcoming week?

If demand turned out to be 125 what can you say about the demand forecast?

When could using average demand as a forecast lead to an inaccurate forecast?

1) Characteristics of Forecasts

• Forecasts are always wrong!– Forecasts should include an expected value and a

measure of error (or demand uncertainty)• Forecast 1: sales are expected to range between 100

and 1,900 units• Forecast 2: sales are expected to range between 900

and 1,100 units


• Long-term forecasts are less accurate than short-term forecasts– Less easy to consider other variables

• Hard to include the effects of weather in a forecast

– Forecast horizon is important, long-term forecast have larger standard deviation of error relative to the mean


• Aggregate forecasts are more accurate than disaggregate forecasts

SKU A SKU B TotalForecast 75 25 100Actual 25 75 100Accuracy 0% 0% 100%


• Aggregate forecasts are more accurate than disaggregate forecasts– They tend to have a smaller standard deviation of

error relative to the mean

Monthly sales SKU

Monthly sales product line


• Information gets distorted when moving away from the customer– Bullwhip effect

Characteristics of Forecasts

1. Forecasts are always wrong!

2. Long-term forecasts are less accurate than short-term forecasts

3. Aggregate forecasts are more accurate than disaggregate forecasts

4. Information gets distorted when moving away from the customer

Is demand forecasting more important for a push or pull system?

Types of Forecasts

• Qualitative– Primarily subjective, rely on judgment and opinion

• Time series– Use historical demand only

• Causal– Use the relationship between demand and some

other factor to develop forecast

• Simulation– Imitate consumer choices that give rise to demand
