Hi ISM Maryland!

We began 2015 looking at the CPSM, and be-fore we break for the summer, we are squeezing in another review representing the great momentum we have within our group. Please make sure you also stay tuned to our website through the summer for CPSM study group updates in the area so you can join in, get certified with people serious about the exams and network too. Being a member of ISM Mary-land you have direct access to educational resources, volunteer leadership on the Board of Directors allows you to expand your leader-ship skills and gain ad-

ditional CEH credits, and career opportuni-ties through networking. We hope you take ad-vantage of everything we prepare for you. It has been a pleasure serving you this year and we look forward to seeing you next week. Enjoy your summer, and until we see you next time.

The supply chain forum at Towson University

was really good. One industrial and One

academic speaker. By Rachea David

Speaker 1 = Alex Baxter, VP of Supply Chain Planning for Pepsico

Topic = Transforming the Pepsi Supply Chain

$66 billion company, 50% of revenue outside the US

Have a lot of capital investment (Trucks/fleet, bottling, etc)

Strategy has been buying brands and bot-tling companies- to become 1 large entity

Use Direct Source Delivery (DSD, ex: direct delivery to walmart, gas stations) and Warehouse Delivery (independent ware-house then distributes to customers)

Pepsi Forecast = 70% accuracy via DSD; 60% accuracy via warehouse (up to 4 weeks)

Big challenge is having 2 ERP systems (Pepsi = Oracle; Tropicana, Naked, Ga-torade, Quaker = SAP). Do you spend $40M to update the old system or spend $60M to put everyone on 1 system.

Cold fill is less expensive (Pepsi = cold fill, Gatorade = hot fill, changed Propel from hot fill to cold fill)

Transportation: 60% are company trucks (one of the few companies which still has its own fleet); and 40% are commercial vendors

Trying to set up a transportation brokerage service (other companies can use space on their trucks)

Suppliers are paying $ for information. Ex: Information on Walmart’s inventory position is valuble.

Walmart does not just share their quantities on hand, they have their suppliers pay for that information. Challenges in large mergers/acquisitions Legacy cultures are very different Winners and loosers in a restructuring Importance of Change management Learnings from Large Mergers/acquisitions Have a Combined Organizational Health team Words matter: “Chicago”, “Somers”,

“Bottlers” (getting everyone to view the organization as 1 entity)

People, Process, and Technology all need to work together for success

Supply Chain of the future =

AUTOMATION (building product, trucking/delivery, delivery prep)

The supply chain forum at Towson University was really good. One

Industrial and One academic speaker. By Rachea David

Speaker 2 = Thomas J. Goldsby, Logis-

tics Professor at University of Ohio

Topic = In Search of the Next Dominant Sup-

ply Chain Design (focused on consumer de-

livery systems)

Supply Chain Risk Management: If you

have a bad day, Consumers and Wall

Street are not so forgiving

Store revenues up, but consumer foot travel in

the stores is down. More online purchas-

ing.

Roads becoming more congested, transporta-

tion costs increasing, transportation

strikes, shortage of truck drivers, environ-

mental impacts

Transportation is used at multiple points

throughout the supply chain

Raw materials, processing, warehouse, distri-

bution, customer

New modes of transportation

Roadie = use Waffle House locations for ordi-

nary people to pick up/move freight

Uber/ Uber Freight (obsoleting the taxi?)

Automatic continuous ordering/availability

(refrigerator scans quantity of milk and

places the replacement order)

Collaborative distribution models (like Pepsi’s

brokerage transportation servive)

Drones
