REPLY TO: Based on your own experience or research, briefly describe at least one example of a public or private enterprise that has outsourced the management of one or more of its supply chain related activities. Include in your answer the name of the firm, the name of the third party, and a brief statement regarding the benefits claimed. In your opinion, what are the downside risks? An example from my experience where a public or private enterprise that has outscored the management of one or more of its supply chain related activities is the Department of Defense. In order to meet mission requirements the agency moves hundreds of thousands of service members annually. While the government maintains oversight of the program, it has outsourced transportation management to private industry. The government works with hundreds of transportation vendors to provide traffic services/management on a shipment by shipment basis. Industry then takes those shipments, combines them with several others, and delivers economy/competitive pricing. It would be too expensive for the government to maintain the fleet necessary to provide these services cost effectively. The benefits are that the government can work with private enterprise to achieve cost savings, while helping the economy through working with business. The downside risk of working with private enterprises is that the government is exposing itself to supply chain risk. These risks can be as simple as one vendor who has cash flow/debt issues, to port congestion problems delaying shipments from arriving on time. A good example of these risks was when the government changed the contractor for moving privately owned vehicles of service members. Many vehicles were lost and delayed sue to inexperience and poor time of contractor change (seasonal business) related to peak demand (link to article below). Chapter 15: Sourcing Decisions in a Supply Chain 1. After reviewing the last three lines of Table 15-4 in your text, as the buy-back price for each disc increases from $0 to $6 while the wholesale price is held constant at $7, what happens to profits for the music store (the retailer) and the supplier (the manufacturer)? What about overall supply chain profitability? What is the lesson to be learned from this exercise? The information presented in Table 15-4 assumes that there are no costs associated with returning the “buy-back” products to the supplier. As the transportation costs to return the goods being bought back increases, what happens to the profitability of the supply chain? Chapter 16: Pricing and Revenue Management in a Supply Chain 2.
