Supply Chain Management Why would a supply chain be more efficient with a distribution center rather than simply delivering directly to stores? The distribution center serves as a place to accumulate merchandise from many vendors and then allocate it to stores in the quantities they need. Imagine the congestion if every vendor had to deliver to every store.

Marketing Channels Add Value
Principles of MarketingMKT3010
How does supply chain management reduce inventory levels? What effect does supply chain management have on sales? An efficient supply chain can lower overall inventory in the system because merchandise is delivered when it is needed (just-in-time). By having an efficient supply chain, the retailers stay in stock, and sales increase.

Marketing Channel Management Affects Other Aspects of Marketing
Principles of MarketingMKT3010
Customers expect to have their goods delivered and services performed on time. What happens when the supply chain breaks down? Imagine you order a textbook from Amazon, which promises to deliver it by Saturday, before your classes start on Monday. What happens in terms of your satisfaction with Amazon if some link in the supply chain breaks down and you don’t receive your book until Tuesday?

Designing Marketing Channels
Principles of MarketingMKT3010

Making Information Flow Through Marketing Channels Each step requires the collection and dissemination of information.

Data Warehouse
Principles of MarketingMKT3010
Why would Macy’s want to access the information by vendor? By month? What would they do with the data? The retailer wants to know what designer men’s suits are selling the most so they can order more or see if that designer has other products – perhaps shirts and ties that they could carry. Retailers are always interested in slow months – perhaps if they could be identified for a certain item, say handbags, then the retailer could run a promotion that month.

Electronic Data Interchange
Principles of MarketingMKT3010
The growth of EDI systems has allowed for advanced tracking of information. Each system can seamlessly integrate with others, which creates value for both customers and the firm.

Pull and Push Supply Chain
Principles of MarketingMKT3010
What kinds of items are better for pull? They will realize new products might do better using a pull strategy as would seasonal items. For push, items such as milk, eggs, and basic underwear work well.
Pull
• Orders based on sales data
• More accurate inventory
• Better when demand is uncertain
Push
• Merchandise allocated based on forecast
• Does not need sophisticated IS system
• Good for steady demand items

Making Merchandize Flow Through Marketing Channels
Principles of MarketingMKT3010
Supply chains enable the flow of not just information but also goods. Keeping goods flowing is not a simple task. Under what circumstances might a manufacturer deliver directly to stores (flow 2) rather than to a distribution center (flow 1)? (1) Because the retailer demands it. (2) Because merchandise is bulky (furniture) or needs to be delivered daily (tortillas).

Glossary
Principles of MarketingMKT3010
Merchandise cartons that are cross-docked are prepackaged by the vendor for a specific store.
Manufacturers can ship merchandise either directly to a store or to a distribution center, where it is then shipped to the store.
Electronic data interchange (EDI) is the computer-to-computer exchange of business documents from a retailer to a vendor and back.
Just-in-time inventory systems are inventory management systems designed to deliver less merchandise on a more frequent basis than traditional inventory systems.
Radio frequency identification (RFID) tags are tiny computer chips that automatically transmit to a special scanner all the information about a container’s contents or individual products.
A strategic relationship or partnering relationship involves the supply chain members being committed to maintaining the relationship over the long term and investing in opportunities that are mutually beneficial.
