Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject Business economics - Miscellaneous, grade: A, San Diego State University, course: Seminararbeit im MBA Studiengang, language: English, abstract: Today's business environment is facing more challenges than it has ever faced before. Whether it be globalization, shorter product life cycles, industry-wide consolidations, or the rapid advancements that have been made in information technology - all these factors have contributed to a steady increase in competitive pressure on domestic and foreign markets. In an economy that is increasingly becoming more volatile, organizations find it more difficult to achieve or maintain their competitive advantage. A way of overcoming these challenges and establishing advantages has been through optimization of the supply chain. Initially, these improvement efforts were limited to areas within the organization, such as inventory, quality, or the manufacturing process itself. In the early nineties, however, when the American retail and consumer goods industry was experiencing stagnating revenues and, at the same time, rising costs, an increase in productivity was hardly to be realized. At that time, aggressive pricing policies were seen as the only approach to gain market share, but the consequences, mainly a negative impact on margins and profits, made it an unsustainable business practice (Seifert, 2003). This led the retail industry to recognize that real gains could only be realized through open cooperative partnerships between retailers and manufacturers. As the supply chain improvement initiatives progressed, they began to include collaboration between the manufacturer, its suppliers, and clients. Although collaboration between trading partners was known as an efficient method for improving forecast accuracy, increasing service, and reducing costs, it was not until then that supply chain partners systematically devised processes that would move the information to where it could ad

This book was released on 2003-10-14 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Einleitung: In dieser Diplomarbeit wird das moderne Kooperationskonzept Collaborative Planning, Forecasting and Replenishment (CPFR - Kooperative Planung, Prognose und Warenbevorratung) hinsichtlich seiner Rahmenbedingungen, Vorgehensweise und Umsetzbarkeit analysiert und bewertet. Unternehmen aus Industrie und Handel sind sich zunehmend der Notwendigkeit einer kooperativen, rationalisierten Supply Chain bewusst. Diesbezüglich wird CPFR als direkte Fortführung und Reifung des bekannten ECR-Ansatzes darstellt, da es logistische und absatzorientierte Aspekte nunmehr gemeinsam in unternehmensübergreifende Abverkaufs- und Bestellprognosen einfließen lässt. Basierend auf diesem hohen kooperativen Level verspricht das Konzept den partizipierenden Unternehmen sowohl Kosteneinsparungen als auch Umsatzsteigerungen. Gang der Untersuchung: Hinsichtlich der Vorgehensweise wird zunächst das von der Voluntary Interindustry Commerce Association entwickelte neunstufige Prozessmodell vorgestellt, bevor näher auf Effizienzvorteile, Erfolgsfaktoren sowie allgemeine Probleme der Implementierung eingegangen wird. Dieser Schwerpunkt der Diplomarbeit ist bewusst praxisnah gestaltet und beinhaltet neben einem einleitenden Fallbeispiel zahlreiche Rückgriffe auf bestehende Forschungsdaten. Auf den Erkenntnissen dieses Analyseteils stützt sich schließlich die kritische zukunftsgerichtete Bewertung von CPFR.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Einleitung: In der Konsumgüterindustrie und bei Handelsunternehmen wird zur Zeit ein neues Konzept diskutiert, das Unternehmen eine bessere Bestandsteuerung bei gleichzeitig sinkenden Kosten verspricht. Schon häufiger wurden, ausgelöst von dem harten Wettbewerb in der Konsumgüterbranche, Ansätze zur Rationalisierung der Lieferkette vorgenommen. Collaborative Planning, Forescasting and Replenishment (CPFR) ist ein weiteres Managementkonzept, das den begonnenen Weg von Quick Response, Vendor Managed Inventory, Efficient Consumer Response und Supply Chain Management fortsetzt. In einem neunstufigen Geschäftsmodell der Voluntary Interindustry Commerce Standards Association werden die verschiedenen Stufen der Zusammenarbeit dargestellt. Das Modell ist in drei verschiedene Phasen eingeteilt, wobei es sich in der ersten um den Planungsprozess handelt. Grundsätzliche Rahmenbedingungen und die Entwicklung eines gemeinsamen Geschäftsplan werden hier festgelegt, bevor in der zweiten Phase der Prognoseprozess umgesetzt wird. In diesem Abschnitt des Modells ist es wichtig, das die Geschäftspartner schon im Vorfeld gemeinsame Lösungsmechanismen entwickelt haben, die bei entstehenden Problemen greifen. In der letzten Phase handelt es sich um die Auftragsbearbeitung, in der die Umwandlung der Prognose in einen verbindlichen Auftrag vorgenommen wird. Mit dem CPFR-Geschäftsmodell ist eine gute Grundlage für kooperative Prozesse gelegt worden, dessen erfolgreiche Umsetzung aber nur in einem entsprechenden Umfeld möglich wird. Kooperation, Vertrauen und geeignete Technologien sind ein Muss, um CPFR nicht schon in den Ansätzen scheitern zu lassen. Besteht zwischen den Geschäftspartnern ein solches Umfeld und werden weitere Erfolgsfaktoren beachtet, können Rationalisierungspotentiale, wie genauere Verkaufsprognosen, Bestandssenkungen, Umsatzsteigerungen oder Kostenreduzierungen verwirklicht werden. Einen starken Impuls für die Implementierung von CPFR geht von den vier großen B2B-Marktplätzen der Konsumgüterindustrie aus, die CPFR als einen Teil ihrer Kernleistungen anbieten. Pilotprojekte aus den USA haben überwältigende Ergebnisse erzielt, so dass mittlerweile auch erste Projekte in Europa angelaufen sind.

Book Collaborative Planning Forecasting Replenishment  CPFR

Download or read book Collaborative Planning Forecasting Replenishment CPFR written by Robert G. Stoll and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation paper offers a theoretical and empirical explanation for why interfirm collaborations form yet fail, and further suggests how firms might manage them for a more positive outcome. The main focus of this dissertation was to research and investigate the implementation issues in the early stages of CPFR. The crux of the argument is that firms enter into collaborative relationships because these are expected to yield superior results relative to alternate organizational forms in certain situations, offering potentially synergistic combinations of complementary resources and capabilities, yet such relationships are frequently prone to failure. Since CPFR implementations are a recent phenomena and its literature base is extreme thin, a triangulation research method is employed. First, an exhaustive literature review was performed on academic and practitioner research to provide a foundation of the understanding of supply chain management (SCM) and CPFR systems and implementations. Second, four case studies of firms that attempted CPFR implementations were closely examined. Case study research offers many benefits including the ability to observe causality, combine evidence and logic to build, develop or support theory that is not available using other research methods (Maffei and Meredith, 1995). Third, a focus group of CPFR implementation experts was convened to strengthen the research design. Qualitative procedures such as focus groups enable the researcher to get in tune with the respondent and discover how that person sees reality. These insights can be used to develop more efficient follow up quantitative procedures such as mail out surveys (Krueger, 1994). The research triangulation was used to develop hypotheses based on the qualitative data. A survey instrument was developed to test the validity of the hypotheses on practicing managers and consulting professionals. The instrument development procedure satisfies all the requirements for reliability and validity. In analyzing the results of the study, statistical analysis will accept or reject the qualitative hypotheses of CPFR implementation based upon survey results. The results in this study confirmed that CPFR implementations should have a strategic basis with an emphasis in organizational factors, supply chain operational characteristics and less environmental uncertainty. The data confirmed that for successful CPFR implementations top management support is required, firms need to assess information technology and exchange information, establish economic, strategic and financial goals and make use of performance metrics before and after a CPFR implementation. The main contribution of this research is apparent in the development of policies and guidelines that can help manufacturing professionals understand the issues surrounding CPFR Implementations. The results of this study are expected to provide academics and practitioners with elements and procedures that are critical to the success of CPFR implementations. This research will provide academics with a foundational tool to use when building theory about CPFR systems. The research design and findings of this study provide many avenues for further research investigations.

This book was released on 2004-07-13 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2003 im Fachbereich BWL - Beschaffung, Produktion, Logistik, Note: 1,3, Bayerische Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (Lehrstuhl für Betriebswirtschaftslehre und Wirtschaftsinformatik), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Collaborative Planning, Forecasting and Replenishment, kurz CPFR, ist ein neues Konzept, das zur Zeit die Diskussionen in der Konsumgüterwirtschaft beherrscht. Im Zusammenhang damit, ist von beachtlichen Einsparpotentialen durch Bestandssenkungen in Höhe von 20 bis 30 Prozent und einem starken Umsatzwachstum durch die Reduktion von Bestandslücken die Rede. CPFR wird in der Literatur häufig als Weiterentwicklung der logistischen Seite des Efficient Consumer Response Konzeptes bezeichnet. Dieser logistikorientierte Bereich wird unter dem Begriff Supply Chain Management zusammengefasst. Deshalb wird CPFR auch als Weiterentwicklung des Supply Chain Managements bezeichnet. Die Einordnung in den Gesamtkontext zeigt Abbildung 1.1. Ziel der Arbeit ist es, die Zusammenhänge zwischen ECR und CPFR zu erläutern, zu klären, was sich hinter CPFR verbirgt sowie abschließend zu beurteilen, ob CPFR eine Weiterentwicklung des Supply Chain Managements ist. Dazu wird in Kapitel 2 zunächst auf das Konzept des Efficient Consumer Response (ECR) eingegangen. Nach der Klärung des Begriffes und des Entstehungshintergrundes werden die Gestaltungsansätze des Konzeptes aufgezeigt. Anschließend werden die beiden Bereiche des ECR, das Supply Chain Management und das Category Vom Supply Chain Management zum Collaborative Planning, Forecasting and Replenishment Management, behandelt. In diesem Zusammenhang werden auch die vier Basisstrategien des ECR erläutert und den beiden Bereichen zugeordnet. Abschließend werden die für die Umsetzung des ECR-Konzeptes notwendigen Technologien und Methoden, die sogenannten ECR-Enabler, vorgestellt. In Kapitel 3 wird ein ECR-Enabler gesondert betrachtet. Es handelt sich hierbei um die sogenannten Basistechnologien. Sie sind Grundlage für die Umsetzung der in Kapitel 4 näher untersuchten logistischen Basisstrategie Efficient Replenishment. Erläutert werden der elektronische Datenaustausch, Identifikationssysteme sowie das für eine elektronische Erfassung notwendige Scanning. Die dem Supply Chain Management zugeordnete Basisstrategie Efficient Replenishment und die darin enthaltenen Teilstrategien werden in Kapitel 4 näher vorgestellt. Das Kapitel schließt mit einer Einordnung der Teilsstrategien und der Beschreibung von Problemen und Hindernissen, die bei deren Anwendung auftreten. In Kapitel 5 wird zunächst auf die Entstehung des CPFR und die erforderliche Kooperationsbereitschaft eingegangen. [...]

Download or read book Performance Measurement of the Collaborative Planning Forecasting and Replenishment Program written by Pablo Carrasco Garrido and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collaborative Planning, Forecasting and Replenishment (CPFR) is a powerful tool which bring many benefits for companies, such as Inventory and Stock-out reduction, increasing sales and profits. This is however, under the assumptions that both parties have fully implemented the program and have full collaboration capabilities, and that they have enough resources to properly manage the CPFR relationship. However, this is not often the case. Managing CPFR relationships requires manpower, and time and capital investments. Companies find themselves overwhelmed when trying to fully implement CPFR; even large multinational companies, realize that although they have successfully established some CPFR relationships, they face the same hurdles when attempting to expand and include more partners and/or categories into the program.For these reasons, I've proposed and developed two tools to help companies assess and manage their CPFR relationships. First, I developed a six-stage CPFR maturity assessment to identify the current status of the CPFR relationship and its capabilities. It is built upon 5 dimensions: “Supply Chain Collaboration”, “People & Organization”, “Information Technology”, “Process Efficiency: Planning & Forecasting”, and “Process Efficiency: Replenishment”. The second tool is conceptual matrix, when different collaboration levels are determined based on partner and category classifications. The idea is to be able to identify those scenarios where CPFR is most helpful, to prioritize the allocation of resources.Finally, a match between the two tools grants a way for companies to benchmark their current performance against optimal performance for their classification, thus free resources in those that are overdeveloped to allocate them to those with improvement opportunities.
