  20. 0:46manufacturer of Pampers disposable
  21. 0:48diapers let us introduce you to their
  22. 0:50supply and demand chain which is similar
  23. 0:52to most supply and demand chains this is
  24. 0:54little Martin our consumer at the
  25. 0:56customer end he may look cute and
  26. 0:58adorable now but wait until you see the
  27. 1:01Havoc is about to cause or maybe we
  28. 1:03should say the havoc's mommy is about to
  29. 1:06cause this is your typical retail store
  30. 1:09wmart one of many which stocks and sells
  31. 1:12Pampers diapers wmart is having a sale
  32. 1:15this weekend and running Pampers as a
  33. 1:16loss leader 50% off all the mummies are
  34. 1:19very excited so they are planning to
  35. 1:21stock up all mod orders in bulk from its
  36. 1:25distributor BS Distributors taking all
  37. 1:27its safety stock in the process BS has
  38. 1:30no stock left to supply wmart or any
  39. 1:32other retailer for that matter not
  40. 1:34knowing what is going on and where all
  41. 1:36these babies suddenly came from B places
  42. 1:38a big order to replenish its inventory
  43. 1:41with a
  44. 1:42factory proor Gamble's Factory gets the
  45. 1:44big order and starts Manufacturing in
  46. 1:46overdrive but first it has to negotiate
  47. 1:49with the Union regarding overtime pay
  48. 1:51and get a lot more supplies from its
  49. 1:53suppliers to get the production on track
  50. 1:55for the new influx of babies the
  51. 1:57supplier is not prepared for this sudden
  52. 1:59large order order and has insufficient
  53. 2:01raw material required to make the
  54. 2:03diapers because it does not have enough
  55. 2:05stock the supply causes additional
  56. 2:07delays in
  57. 2:08production meanwhile allart places
  58. 2:10another order that is bigger than normal
  59. 2:12because it had great sales this weekend
  60. 2:14and no stock left but the distributor is
  61. 2:16panicking because they have no stock
  62. 2:17left and the factory has not sent nearly
  63. 2:19enough to cover the orders so the
  64. 2:21distributor places yet another big order
  65. 2:23and so it continues because no one is
  66. 2:25getting their orders they carry on
  67. 2:26placing big orders still compounding the
  68. 2:29problem the factory is taking strain
  69. 2:31suppliers are under pressure
  70. 2:33Distributors are panicking retailers are
  71. 2:35upset because they didn't get their
  72. 2:36orders mommies that could not get to the
  73. 2:38almart sale are upset because they have
  74. 2:39to buy Snuggies and ones that made it
  75. 2:42don't know what the fuss is all about by
  76. 2:44the time the factory starts delivering
  77. 2:46everybody Downstream starts canceling
  78. 2:47their orders and the factory is left
  79. 2:49with an over supply of stock so why does
  80. 2:51this matter well because of the stock
  81. 2:53out baby has to wear Snuggies which give
  82. 2:55him a rash all mod L sales and consumers
  83. 2:57are unhappy because they don't have
  84. 2:58stock beer distributors retail customers
  85. 3:01are unhappy because it took so long to
  86. 3:03supply them with stock and they in turn
  87. 3:05are in the dog box with the factory for
  88. 3:07canceling half their orders the factory
  89. 3:09incured additional costs to get the
  90. 3:11orders out faster and the suppliers
  91. 3:13incur additional costs in sourcing raw
  92. 3:15material for the factory and now the
  93. 3:17orders have been cut in
  94. 3:19half so now that you know what the bull
  95. 3:21would be is you probably want to know
  96. 3:23what causes it and how we can prevent it
  97. 3:25there are numerous factors often in
  98. 3:27combination which contribute to the bull
  99. 3:29wh effect
  100. 3:30we will consider four of the major
  101. 3:32causes price fluctuations and sales
  102. 3:34promotions sales promotions and price
  103. 3:37discounts result in customers buying in
  104. 3:39large quantities and stocking up as a
  105. 3:41result the buying pattern does not
  106. 3:43reflect the actual
  107. 3:45consumption order batching companies
  108. 3:47Place orders in batches often to avoid
  109. 3:50the cost of processing orders more
  110. 3:51frequently or to avoid the high
  111. 3:53Transportation costs for less than
  112. 3:55truckload orders shortage gaming if
  113. 3:58product demand exceeds Supply
  114. 4:00manufacturers ration products while
  115. 4:02customers exaggerate their orders to
  116. 4:04counteract the rationing eventually
  117. 4:06orders will disappear and cancellations
  118. 4:08will pour in making it impossible for
  119. 4:10the manufacturer to determine the real
  120. 4:12demand for its product demand
  121. 4:14forecasting accuracies as each entity
  122. 4:17along the chain places an order it
  123. 4:19replenishes stock and includes some
  124. 4:21Safety stock with long lead times they
  125. 4:23may be weeks of Safety stock which make
  126. 4:25the fluctuation in demand more
  127. 4:28significant C measures to fluctuating
  128. 4:30prices fluctuating prices can be
  129. 4:32replaced with everyday low prices
  130. 4:35counter measures to order batching more
  131. 4:37frequent ordering results in smaller
  132. 4:39orders and smaller variants counter
  133. 4:42measures to shortage gaming proportional
  134. 4:44rationing schemes are counted by
  135. 4:46allocating units based on past sales
  136. 4:49ignorance of supply chain conditions can
  137. 4:52be addressed by sharing capacity and
  138. 4:54Supply information across the entire
  139. 4:56supply chain counter measures to demand
  140. 4:58forecasting inaccuracies lack of demand
  141. 5:01visibility can be addressed by providing
  142. 5:03access to point of sale data single
  143. 5:07control of replenishment or vendor
  144. 5:09management inventory can overcome
  145. 5:11exaggerated demand
  146. 5:13forecasts long lead times should be
  147. 5:16reduced as much as possible with all
  148. 5:19this said it's actually all about
  149. 5:21communication communication
  150. 5:28communication
