Delivery Strategy at MoonChem
John Kresge adalah Vice President Supply chain MoonChem, sebuah perusahaan manufaktur yang memproduksi bahan kimia khusus. Setelah meeting di MoonChem, dalam evaluasi kinerja financial diketahui bahwa perusahaan itu hanya meraih dua perputaran inventory setahun, lebih dari setengah inventory yang dimiliki ada dalam pengiriman (titipan) ke konsumennnya. Hal ini mengejutkan karena hanya 20% dari konsumen tersebut yang membawa inventory titipan. John bertanggungjawab atas inventory, sama halnya dengan biaya transportasi.Dia memutuskan untuk mencermati manajemen inventory titipan dan menyusun rencana yang tepat.
MoonChem Operations
MoonChem mempunyai delapan pabrik dan 40 distribution centers. Pabrik tersebut memproduksi bahan kimia dasar dan distribution center mencampurnya untuk membuat ratusan produk akhir yang memenuhi spesifikasi konsumen. Pada pasar bahan kimia khusus, MoonChem berusaha untuk mendiferensiasikan dirinya di wilayah Midwest dengan menyediakan inventori titipan kepada pelanggannya.
Perusahaan ingin menggunakan strategi ini secara nasional jika terbukti efektif. MoonChem membiarkan bahan kimia diperoleh tiap pelanggan di wilayah Midwest sebagai penitipan atau konsinyasi di tempat pelanggan. Pelanggan menggunakan bahan kimia sesuai yang merka butuhkan, dan MoonChem mengatur perlengkapan untuk memastikan ketersediaan. Pada situasi kebanyakan, konsumsi bahan kimia oleh konsumen sangat stabil. MoonChem memiliki penitipan inventory dan dibayar atas penggunaan bahan kimia yang telah mereka gunakan.
Distribution at MoonChem
MoonChem menggunakan Golden Trucking, truk pengangkut muatan penuh untuk semua pengiriman. Tiap truk mempunyai kapasitas 40.000 pounds, dan Golden memberikan tariff tetap atas asal dan tujuan, tidak melihat kuatntitas yang dikirimkan denga truk tersebut. MoonChem mengirimkan truk muatan penuh kepada tiap konsumen untuk melengkapi inventory titipan mereka.
The Illinois Pilot Study
John memutuskan untuk mencermati operasi distribusi. Dia focus kepada Negara bagian Illinois, yand disupplai dari Chicago distribution center. Dia memecah Illinois ke dalam kumpulan kode pos yang berdekatan seperti pada gambar. Dia membatasi perhatian pada wilayah Peoria, yang diklasifikasikan sebagai kode pos 615. Pada studi yang seksama pada wilayah ini ditemukan dua pelanggan besar, enam pelanggan medium, dan 12 pelanggan kecil. Konsumsi pertahun pada tiap tipe pelanggan seperti pada tabel. Golden memasang tarif $400 untuk tiap pengiriman dari Chicago ke Peoria, dan kebijakan MoonChem adalah mengirim truk muatan penuh untuk tiap pelanggan sesuai kebutuhan.
Customer Profile funtuk MoonChem di wilayah Peoria
Customer Type Number of Customer Consumtion
(Pounds per month)
Small 12 1000
Medium 6 5.000
Large 2 12.000
John mengecek dengan Golden untuk mencari tahu apa yang harus dilakukan untuk memasukkan pengiriman kepada beberapa pelanggan dalam satu muatan. Golden menginformasikan padanya bahwa mereka akan melanjutkan untuk memberikan tarif $350 per truk dan kemudian menambahkan $50 untuk tiap drop-off yang harus ditanggung oleh Golden. Oleh karena itu, jika Golden membawa truk yang harus dibuat untuk sekali pengiriman, total tarif sebesar $400. Bagaimanapun jika truk harus melakukan empat kali pengiriman , total tarif sebesar $550.
Tiap pound dari bahan kimia pada biaya penitipan MoonChem $1, dan holding cost 25%. John ingin menganalisa pilihan yang berbeda tiap distribusi yang tersedia di wilayah Peoria untuk menentukan kebijakan distribusi yang optimal. Studi lebih detail dari wilaya Peoria akan menyediakan blueprint untuk strategi distribusi yang direncanakan MoonChem untuk diterapkan secara nasional.
