Supply contracts

A contract is an agreement between two parties. The raison dtre for contracts is two parties with conflicting objectives. Differences in costs at the buyer and supplier can lead to decisions that increase total supply chain costs. E.g.: replenishment order placed by the buyer. The buyers EOQ ignores the suppliers costs. A quantity discount contract may encourage the buyer to purchase a larger quantity. This may result in lower total supply chain costs. [ but misleading demand information because of order batching ] A contract is said to be coordinating a supply chain if the sum of the profits of various decision makers under the contract is globally optimal Important especially for strategic components, not for commodities. Last few years, significant increase in level of outsourcing; many leading brand-name manufacturers outsource complete manufacturing (to OEMs*) and design (to ODMs) of their products (Apple, Dell, Sony and Toshiba to Quanta). The procurement function in OEMs* becomes critical to remain in control of their destiny.

Case swimsuit production Chapter 2

Consider a company that designs, produces, and sells summer fashion items such as swimsuits. About six months before summer, the company must commit itself to specific production quantities. Demand is forecasted and certain probabilities are attached to specific quantities. Overestimating demand will result in unsold inventory while underestimating it will lead to inventory stockouts and loss of potential customers. The probabilistic forecast suggests that average customer demand is 13 100 units for the summer season.

Swimsuits
Chapter 2 (2)

To start production, the manufacturer has to invest $100 000 independent of the amount produced. This is fixed production cost. The variable production cost per unit equals $80. During the summer season, the selling price of a swimsuit is $125 per unit. Any swimsuit not sold during summer is sold to a discount store for $20.

To identify the best production quantity, the firm needs to understand the relationship between the production quantity, customer demand, and profit. Suppose the manufacturer produces 10 000 units while demand realises at 12 000 units. Profit equals revenue from summer sales less variable and fixed production costs: Profit = 125 (10 000) 80 (10 000) 100 000 = $350 000 and the probability of realising this profit is 28%
Supply Chain Management 1112 supply contracts Slide 7 Roel Leus

Swimsuits
Chapter 2 (3)

In similar fashion, one can calculate the profit associated with each demand scenario, given that the manufacturer produces 10 000 swimsuits. This allows us to calculate the expected profit associated with producing 10 000 units.
Demand Probability Production = 10 000

We would like to find the production quantity that maximizes expected profit. Should the optimal production quantity be equal to, more than or less than the average demand? With $45 understocking cost vs. $60 overstocking cost, the best production quantity will probably be less than average demand for these particular cost parameters.

Chapter 2 (6)

As we increase the production quantity, the risk that is, the probability of large losses always increases. At the same time, the probability of large gains also increases. This is the risk/reward trade-off. This is clear from comparing the figures for production quantities 9 000 and 16 000, which bring about the same average profit but have a different risk profile.

Of course, a production quantity of 9 000 does not make much sense, since the probability of demand being equal to 9 000 is zero, unless we have an initial inventory of 1 000 and should bring it up to 10 000.

Swimsuits
Chapter 2 (7)

Suppose now that the swimsuit under consideration is a model produced last year, and that the manufacturer has an initial inventory of 5 000 units. Assume that demand follows the same pattern as before. Fixed production costs ($100 000) are charged independent of the amount produced. Should the manufacturer start production and if so, how many swimsuits should be produced?
If nothing is produced, average profit is equal to the sales of the 5000 initial

inventory, where no fixed production cost and no variable production costs are taken into account: profit is 5000 125 = $625 000 If the manufacturer decides to produce to bring inventory to 12 000 units (what we found is the optimum), the profit he gains would be: 0.11(8000125 + 400020) + 0.11(10 000125 + 200020) + 0.28(12 000125 + 020) + 0.22(12 000125 + 020) + 0.18(12 000125 + 020) + 0.10(12 000125 + 020) 700080 100 000 = $770 700 In conclusion: the optimal policy is to produce 7000 = 12000 5000 units

Case swimsuit production Chapter 4

In the analysis of the case in Chapter 2 it is assumed that the manufacturer has adequate supply of raw materials, delivered on time. In order to ensure this, buyers and suppliers agree on supply contracts. Supply contracts are very powerful tools that can be used for far more than to ensure adequate supply of, and demand for goods. In a supply contract, the buyer and the supplier may agree on:
Pricing and volume discounts. Minimum and maximum purchase quantities. Delivery lead times. Product or material quantity. Product return policies.

We assume now that there are two companies involved in the supply chain: a retailer who faces customer demand and a manufacturer. Demand follows the same pattern as before.

Marginal profit (understocking cost) for both actors are:


retailer: 125 80 = $45
manufacturer: 80 35 = $45

Retailers marginal cost (overstocking cost) is 80 20 = $60 and following the analysis of the case in Chapter 2, it is optimal for the retailer to order 12 000 swimsuits. Expected profit of retailer = 370 700 (supra) + 100 000 = $470 700 Expected profit of manufacturer = 12 000 (80 35) 100 000 = $440 000 Total for Supply Chain = 470 700 + 440 000 = $910 700

In the previous example, we had a sequential supply chain, where the manufacturer reacts to decisions made by the retailer. The retailer bears all risk (of having excess inventory), the supplier does not bear any risk. It is natural to look for mechanisms that the supply chain parties can use to improve profits, which means they would move to global optimization.
Slide 16 Roel Leus

Supply Chain Management 1112 supply contracts

Swimsuit production
Buy-back contract
Buy-back contracts the seller (manufacturer) agrees to buy back unsold goods from the buyer (retailer) for some agreed-upon price. Suppose the manufacturer offers to buy unsold swimsuits from the retailer for $55. The retailer can either salvage goods, or the manufacturer will buy them back and salvage them himself. Such a construction is valuable when the increase in order quantity placed by the retailer more than compensates the suppliers increase in risk.

Buyback

Downsides:
effective reverse logistics needed
Incentive for retailer for selling competing products Surplus inventory for the supplier that must be disposed of, which increases

supply chain costs Inflated retail orders, not actual customer demand

Most effective for products with low variable cost, such as music, software, books, magazines and newspapers so that
profit margin is high, product availability is critical
consequence of suppliers surplus inventory is little (or proof of destruction)

Which of these are true? Buyback contract increases the expected supply chain profit / supplier profit / retailer profit / sales to the market / sales to the retailer / demand

Revenue-sharing contract

In the sequential supply chain, one important reason for the retailer to order only 12 000 units is the high wholesale price. If somehow the retailer can convince the manufacturer to reduce the wholesale price, then clearly the retailer would order more. Of course, price reduction will decrease manufacturers profit if the retailer is unable to sell more units. This issue is addressed by revenue-sharing contracts. Suppose the swimsuit manufacturer and retailer have a revenue-sharing contract with the following conditions: the manufacturer reduces the price he charges from $80 to $60 and the retailer transfers 15% of the sales revenue back to the manufacturer in return.

The buyer pays a minimal amount for each unit purchased from the supplier but shares a fraction of the revenue for each unit sold Decreases the cost per unit charged to the retailer, which effectively decreases the cost of overstocking When the overstocking cost drops, retailers order quantity rises Misleading for the supply chain as it reacts to (inflated) retail orders, not to actual customer demand Supplier needs to monitor buyers revenue Incentive for buyer for pushing competing products with higher margins

Blockbuster case

Demand for a newly released movie typically starts high and decreases rapidly; peak demand lasts about 10 weeks
Blockbuster purchases a copy from a studio for $65 and rents for $3.

Blockbuster (retailer) must rent the tape at least 22 times before earning profit Retailers cannot justify purchasing a movie (cassette) by covering the peak demand. In 1998, 20% of surveyed customers reported that they could not rent the movie they wanted because the Blockbuster stores did not have that movie.

In 1998, Blockbuster started revenue sharing with the major movie studios
Studio charges $8 per copy. Blockbuster (retailer) shares a portion (30-45%) of of the sales revenue (rental

income) with the supplier Even if Blockbuster keeps only half of the rental income, the breakeven point is 6 rentals per copy The impact of revenue sharing on Blockbuster was dramatic. Rentals increased by 75% in test markets due to higher video availability. Market share increased from 25% to 31% (the 2nd largest retailer only has 5% market share)

Swimsuit production
Global optimization

Rather than investigate contracts modifying initial sales terms between two parties, we now consider supplier and buyer as two partners / two members of the same organization. In other words: we ignore the transfer of money between the parties and an unbiased decision maker will maximize the supply-chain profit. The only relevant data in this case are the selling price, the salvage value, the variable production costs, and the fixed production costs. The cost that the manufacturer charges the retailer becomes meaningless, since we consider them as one and we are only interested in external costs and revenues.

Evidently, the supply chain marginal profit of 90 (= 125 35) is significantly higher than the marginal loss of 15 (= 35 20), and hence the supply chain will probably produce more than average demand.

$125.00 $20.00 $100,000.00 $35.00

The risk the manufacturer can take should be smaller than 0.1429. The first smaller value is 0.10 and it corresponds to production quantity of 16 000. This is exactly the result we got using expected profit as a measure. In this global optimization strategy, the optimal production quantity is 16 000, which implies an expected supply chain profit of $1 014 500.

Globally optimal buy-back contract

The difficulty with global optimization is that it requires the firm to surrender decision-making power to an unbiased (external) decision maker. It can be shown, however, that carefully designed supply contracts achieve exactly the same profit as global optimization.

Illustration: See Excel-sheet DMSCe3.xls Buy back (bis): the retailer can either salvage goods or the manufacturer will buy them back and salvage himself. Consider these parameters:
Item Price

Retailer sells for: Manufacturer sells for: Salvage: Manufacturer buy back: Fixed Production Cost: Variable Production Cost:

$125.00 $75.00 $20.00 $65.00 $100,000.00 $35.00

The wholesale price has decreased from $80 to $75 and the buy back value has increased from $55 to $65. In this case, the retailers individual optimum quantity and the globally optimum quantity coincide.
Supply Chain Management 1112 supply contracts Slide 33 Roel Leus

Other constructions

Quantity-flexibility contracts = buy back with full refund / allows the buyer to modify the order (within limits) as demand visibility increases towards the point of sale
Better matching of supply and demand

Increased overall supply chain profits if the supplier has flexible capacity
Lower levels of misleading demand information than either buyback contracts

or revenue sharing contracts Benetton: 40% allowance on colors, 10% on aggregate quantity across colors; guaranteed portion is manufactured by Benetton with an inexpensive but longlead-time process; the flexible part (about 35%) is manufactured using postponement

Sales rebate contracts = rebate beyond certain quantity

It is now the manufacturer who needs to decide a (production) quantity, and thus faces a newsboy problem: lowest Q such that Pr[ D Q ] 0.2941 ?

$80,00 $125,00 $20,00 $100.000,00 $55,00

Q = 12 000

Again, a variety of supply contracts enable risk sharing and hence reduce manufacturers risk and motivate him to increase production.
Pay-back contract: buyer pays a price for each unit produced but not purchased Cost-sharing contract: the buyer shares some of the production cost (e.g. set %)

in return for a discount on the wholesale price An issue here is the sharing of production-cost information. A possible solution to this is for the retailer to purchase one or more components. Again, globally optimal solutions can be achieved

How to design contracts such that the information shared is credible?

Capacity Reservation Contract


Buyer pays to reserve a certain level of capacity at the supplier
A menu of prices for different capacity reservations provided by supplier Buyer signals true forecast by reserving a specific capacity level

Advance Purchase Contract


Supplier charges special price before building capacity When demand is realized, price charged is different Buyers commitment to paying the special price reveals the buyers true

Contracts for non-strategic components

Traditionally, buyers have focused on long-term contracts for many of their purchasing needs Recently, trend towards more flexible contracts for non-strategic components:
Variety of suppliers
Market conditions dictate price Flexibility more important than long-term relationship:

Reduce supply chain costs Be more responsive and flexible to market conditions

Effective procurement strategy for commodity products has to focus on both driving costs down and reducing risks:
Inventory risk due to uncertain demand
Price, or financial, risk due to volatile market price Shortage risk due to limited component availability

Contracts for non-strategic components (2)

Long-term contract = forward contract = fixed-commitment contract


Supplier and buyer agree on both price and quantity (at a future time)
Buyer bears no financial risk but takes huge inventory risks

Option contract:
Supplier commits to reserve capacity up to a certain level reservation price / premium up front Buyer can purchase any amount of supply up to the option level

(execution price or exercise price) flexible contract: fixed amount of supply; can differ by given %

Spot market:
Additional supply in the open market; here and now
