This book was released on 2020-04-20 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volatilität, Komplexität, Digitalisierung und Globalisierung prägen unsere Wirtschaft heutzutage in hohem Maße. Auch auf Unternehmensebene wirken sie sich aus. Viele Unternehmen versuchen, mit einem geeigneten Supply Chain Management die einzelnen Schnittstellen entlang der Wertschöpfungskette zu optimieren. So wollen sie die Bedürfnisse der Kunden auch in Zukunft befriedigen. Ein Mittel zur Bewältigung von Einflussfaktoren ist das Collaborative Planning, Forecasting and Replenishment (CPFR). Doch wie weit ist dieses Modell in der Praxis schon? Hat es sich bereits etabliert? Und sind neben den zahlreichen Vorteilen auch Nachteile zu erwarten? Marie Wüst präsentiert in ihrer Publikation den Status quo des CPFR. Grundlage für das Modell ist die Supply Chain Collaboration. Diese stellt zugleich die intensivste Form einer Kooperation dar. Marie Wüst erklärt die Funktionsweise des CPFR und untersucht, wie praxistauglich es tatsächlich ist. Dabei bezieht sie auch die Herausforderungen des 21. Jahrhunderts wie das sich verändernde Konsumentenverhalten sowie den digitalen Wandel ein. Aus dem Inhalt: - VUCA; - Efficient Consumer Response; - Business to Business; - B2B; - Enterprise Resource Planning; - ERP

Book Collaborative Planning  Forecasting  and Replenishment  CPFR

Download or read book Collaborative Planning Forecasting and Replenishment CPFR written by Markus Diederichs and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2009-07-20 with total page 28 pages. 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 add value and, thereby, facilitate supply chain coordination. Since then, collaboration has been referred to as the driving force behind effective supply chain management (Horvath, 2001). One of the latest trends in supply chain management, CPFR is advertized by many authors, consultants, and software vendors as one of the most promising practices of collaboration so far (Ireland & Crum, 2005). The purpose of this paper is to examine the validity of this statement. In doing so, it will analyze the success potential associated with CPFR and, based on pilot results, evaluate the benefits and challenges that arise with its implementation.

Book Collaborative Planning in Supply Chains

Download or read book Collaborative Planning in Supply Chains written by Gregor Dudek and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In light ofthe vast number ofpublications on Supply Chain Management (SCM) it is not easy to extract those which will have a great impact both on theory and practice. The dissertation of Gregor Dudek certainly is one such valuable source because it tackles inter-organizational collaboration in a novel and effective man ner. SCM is concemed with the coordination of material, information and financial flows within and across often legally separated organizational units. lt has gained great attention both in industry and research as an important area for improving competitiveness. A Supply Chain (SC) can be regarded as a hybrid between a market relationship and a hierarchical organization and as such requires specific tools to support the efficient planning and execution of the order fulfillment proc ess. Software vendors have developed so called Advanced Planning Systems (APS) to overcome deficiencies of traditional Enterprise Resource Planning systems and to better support the planning functions needed in SCM. However, APS are based on the principles of hierarchical planning which are well-suited for intra organizational SCs but fall short when non-hierarchical collaboration between partners (companies) is needed. This is particularly true when a buyer and a sup plier have to align their medium term order and supply plans.

Book Supply Chain Coordination Mechanisms

Download or read book Supply Chain Coordination Mechanisms written by Martin Albrecht and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-09-18 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integrated supply chain planning is well understood by theory and widely applied in practice – however, only with respect to intra-organisational supply chains. In inter-organisational supply chains, an additional, yet unresolved problem arises: due to confidentiality reasons, decentralized parties keep their local data private, which prevents an integrated planning. Local planning procedures such as upstream planning, which are usually applied then, result in suboptimal solutions for the supply chain as a whole. In this work, new mechanisms for inter-organizational, collaborative supply chain planning are presented. These mechanisms are able to identify the systemwide optimum for several classes of supply chain planning problems. They can be applied by two or more self-interested parties and do not require a trusted third party. Extensive computational tests for randomly generated and real-word data suggest a favorable performance of these mechanisms.

Book Das Collaborative Planning  Forecasting and Replenishment  CPFR  Konzept im Rahmen des Supply Chain Managements

Download or read book Das Collaborative Planning Forecasting and Replenishment CPFR Konzept im Rahmen des Supply Chain Managements written by Henrik Zimmermann and published by diplom.de. 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.

Book Vom Supply Chain Management zum collaborative Planning  Forecasting and Replenishment

Download or read book Vom Supply Chain Management zum collaborative Planning Forecasting and Replenishment written by Matthias Pfister and published by GRIN Verlag. 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. [...]

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2001 im Fachbereich BWL - Beschaffung, Produktion, Logistik, Note: 1,3, Bayerische Julius-Maximilians-Universitat Wurzburg (unbekannt), Veranstaltung: Betriebswirtschaftslehre und Wirtschaftsinformatik, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Inhaltsangabe: Einleitung: In der Konsumguterindustrie und bei Handelsunternehmen wird zur Zeit ein neues Konzept diskutiert, das Unternehmen eine bessere Bestandsteuerung bei gleichzeitig sinkenden Kosten verspricht. Schon haufiger wurden, ausgelost von dem harten Wettbewerb in der Konsumguterbranche, Ansatze 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 Geschaftsmodell 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. Grundsatzliche Rahmenbedingungen und die Entwicklung eines gemeinsamen Geschaftsplan werden hier festgelegt, bevor in der zweiten Phase der Prognoseprozess umgesetzt wird. In diesem Abschnitt des Modells ist es wichtig, das die Geschaftspartner schon im Vorfeld gemeinsame Losungsmechanismen 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-Geschaftsmodell ist eine gute Grundlage fur kooperative Prozesse gelegt worden, dessen erfolgreiche Umsetzung aber nur in einem entsprechenden Umfeld moglich wird. Kooperation, Vertrauen und geeignete Technologien sind ein Muss, um CPFR nicht schon in den Ansatzen scheitern zu lassen. Besteht zwischen den Geschaftspartnern ein solches Umfeld und werden weit

Book Performance Measurement of the Collaborative Planning  Forecasting and Replenishment Program

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.

Book Bioeconomy and Global Inequalities

Download or read book Bioeconomy and Global Inequalities written by Maria Backhouse and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-05-17 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book focuses on the meanings, agendas, as well as the local and global implications of bioeconomy and bioenergy policies in and across South America, Asia and Europe. It explores how a transition away from a fossil and towards a bio-based economic order alters, reinforces and challenges socio-ecological inequalities. The volume presents a historically informed and empirically rich discussion of bioeconomy developments with a particular focus on bio-based energy. A series of conceptual discussions and case studies with a multidisciplinary background in the social sciences illuminate how the deployment of biomass sources from the agricultural and forestry sectors affect societal changes concerning knowledge production, land and labour relations, political participation and international trade. How can a global perspective on socio-ecological inequalities contribute to a complex and critical understanding of bioeconomy? Who participates in the negotiation of specific bioeconomy policies and who does not? Who determines the agenda? To what extent does the bioeconomy affect existing socio-ecological inequalities in rural areas? What are the implications of the bioeconomy for existing relations of extraction and inequalities across regions? The volume is an invitation to reflect upon these questions and more, at a time when the need for an ecological and socially just transition away from a carbon intensive economy is becoming increasingly pressing.
