Distributielogistiek kent de laatste jaren belangrijke evoluties. Het krijgt ook meer en meer aandacht omwille van het behalen van service levels tegenover de klanten (en de eisen van die klanten), het terugdringen van de kosten en het optimaliseren van de “carbon footprint”.
Excellerende ondernemingen beseffen dat distributielogistiek commercieel en strategisch onderscheidend kan ingezet worden, zowel op lokaal als op globaal vlak. De juiste conceptkeuze bepaalt niet alleen het serviceniveau, maar ook de kostenstructuur. Ondersteund door snelle evoluties in informatietechnologie zorgt distributie er voor dat de producten sneller, juister, flexibeler, goedkoper en met meer toegevoegde waarde de doelmarkten bereiken.

Maar er zijn uiteraard heel wat keuzes te maken en het veld aan parameters die leiden tot excellente distributieprestaties is breed en vraagt om deskundige behandeling. Immers, beslissingen op vlak van bijvoorbeeld voorraadbeheer hebben hun weerslag op transport, magazijnen, klantenservice, financiering, e.d.. Wil men verbeteren dan moet men de verbanden kennen tussen de verschillende activiteiten zoals : structureren van distributienetwerken, optimaliseren van voorraden, werking van distributiecentra en –magazijnen, verhoogde efficiëntie door de toepassing van een aantal tools zoals transport- en routeplanning, betere kostenbeheersing,… en ook binnen deze domeinen is uiteraard expertise belangrijk.

De doelstelling van de cursus Distribution Logistics is concepten, technieken en praktijkcases te bestuderen die deze verbeteringen mee helpen realiseren. En deze worden gebracht door domeinexperten met de nodige theoretische maar vooral ook praktische ervaring. Zij zullen interactief met de groep de verschillende onderwerpen uiteenzetten.

DAG 1 – 24/01/12
Introductie tot Distributie Logistiek en Distributienetwerken
In deze inleidende sessie zal het  Strategisch raamwerk waarin de Distributie Logistiek zich afspeelt binnen de Supply Chain uitgewerkt worden.  Vervolgens zal ingegaan worden op het ontwerpen van distributienetwerken (Primair en secundair). In het opzetten van een EDC, RDC en/of NDC komen overwegingen rond de marktbenadering, de logistieke karakteristieken van de Supply Chain, de logistieke kosten maar ook legale en fiscale aspecten aan bod.

DAG 2 – 31/01/12
Distributieplanning
Verschillende planningsmethodes en technieken kunnen aangewend worden om de distributiestromen onder controle te krijgen zoals: push/pull, Distribution Requirements Planning, inventory deployment technieken, fair share allocations, virtual inventories, …
Vendor Managed Inventories, Collaborative Planning Forecasting and Replenishment, Efficient Consumer Response en Verticale Integratie zijn verschillende vormen van samenwerking die kunnen opgezet worden met eigen methodes en wetmatigheden.

DAG 3 – 07/02/12
Transportmanagement
Transportmanagement is een specifiek onderdeel van Distributie Logistiek. Concepten, trends, processen, kostaspecten en KPI’s zullen toegelicht worden. Verder zal er ook ingegaan worden op de verschillende transportmodi, de relatie tussen Just-In-Time en transport en de mogelijkheden van distributieconsolidatie. Specifiek is IT niet meer weg te denken in transportmanagement. Hoe ver moet men gaan in de informatisering van het transportbeheer en wat is er mogelijk? En aangezien transport een belangrijk deel is van de distributiekost wordt ook op dit aspect ingegaan.

DAG 4 – 14/02/12
Warehouse Management
Tijdens deze dag over Warehouse management zullen volgende concepten en principes specifiek aan bod komen: rol van het magazijn in de distributieketen, van opslagbeheer naar doorstroombeheer, lay-out en magazijninfrastructuur concepten, mechanisatie versus manueel, orderverzamelstrategieën, Warehouse Management Systeem en IT en randapparatuur in het magazijn, …

DAG 5 – 28/02/12
Logistieke dienstverlening en kostenbeheersing
Wat zijn de criteria en wat is de bedrijfseconomische motivatie in de beslissing make or buy van logistieke activiteiten? Welke concepten kunnen opgezet worden? Hoe beheer(s) ik nadien de relatie? Een deel van de productie-activiteiten schuiven meer en meer door naar de distributie. Dit verhoogt de vraag naar Value Added Logistics, maar stelt ook de noodzaak om na te denken over het proces en de integratie met de dienstverlener.  Door de verhoogde druk van de klanten om naar meer klantspecifieke producten en diensten te gaan, worden heel wat kosten in de distributieketen gegenereerd zonder echt zichtbaar en bekend te zijn.

DAG 6 – 06/03/12
Supply Chain Integratie en visibiliteit
Het idee van Global Supply Chains vindt meer en meer ingang. De Supply Chain zit als maar meer onder druk door offshore producties met langere lead times enerzijds en door de vraag naar Just-In-Time levertijden anderzijds. Welke middelen hebben we om de Distributie onder controle te houden: Supply Chain Event Management, Supply Chain Inventory Visibility,  Real Time Location Systems, RFID, … Wat hebben ze te bieden, wat zijn de toepassingsgebieden? De opgedane kennis zal voorts als basis dienen om tijdens een bedrijfsbezoek een concreet geval te begrijpen en te bestuderen en met de bedrijfsleiding alle facetten van hun distributielogistiek te bediscussiëren.

Umicore Precious Metals Refining is dé referentie in de markt wat de recyclage en verwerking van complexe materialen betreft.  Als eerste in de wereld hebben zij een installatie om op industriële schaal herlaadbare batterijen uit laptops, GSM’s en elektrische voertuigen te recycleren. 

Deze installatie werd in mei 2010 in gebruik genomen en heeft capaciteit van 7.000 ton per jaar.  Dat komt overeen met 250 miljoen batterijen van GSM’s of met 150.000 batterijen van elektrische voertuigen.  Hoewel de elektrische wagen nog niet echt is doorgebroken, is er nu al wel productieafval zoals batterijen die afgekeurd worden.

De verschillende recyclageprocessen die Umicore Precious Metals Refining toepast, zijn gebaseerd op het principe van “bovengrondse mijnbouw”.  Grondstoffen worden hierbij niet langer uit ondergrondse mijnen gehaald maar uit afgedankte toestellen, machines en auto’s.  Zo is bij klassieke goudwinning uit mijnen de opbrengst ongeveer 5 gram per ton erts; recyclage kan ongeveer 300 gram goud uit een ton afgedankte computers halen.

• Supplier base management
• Make or buy decision
• Global versus local sourcing

Supply Chain Managers are increasingly exposed to procurement and sourcing decisions.
In this module we focus on tools to leverage on both efficiency and effectiveness of the value chain, and develop lasting relationships with suppliers and sub-contractors to anticipate market, supplier and service risks. We formulate advice on how to cope with key decisions regarding global vs. local sourcing and make or buy decisions.

PICS – SAS event:  Supply Chain Finance

Location: SAS Institute, Kasteel de Robiano, Hertenbergstraat 6, B-3080 Tervuren.

Timing:  31/05/2012.  14.00h  – 17.00h

Pricing: 195€ non-members.  145€ members (excl VAT)

Participants: COO, CFO, Supply Chain Director and managers

limited seating! Maximum 50 participants.

The Supply Chain is not a business function, it is a network of companies and Supply Chain Management is the implementation of cross-functional relationships with key customers and suppliers in that network.  The economic crisis has only increased the supply chain complexity by ever increasing customer requirements and expectations, globalization, the pressure on cost, and the availability and access to resources. On top of this, management is expected to improve profitability, increase revenue growth and capture and protect larger market share. 

In this seminar, both academic as professional speakers will provide you insights into importance of Supply Chain Finance.

14.00h.  Keynote:                     Prof. dr. Nico Vandaele / KU Leuven

Finance versus Operations:  Choose or Share?

In the everlasting turmoil of operational excellence in financial difficult times, the lean concept stays at the center of the table. It should be clear that inventories are not the only buffers and moreover that the financial impact of the various buffers is definitely not the same. Lean fanatics may turn a good business into amnesia. Well-thought financial evaluation of operational decision making may put the business into a sustainable mode.

Nico Vandaele holds a degree Commercial Engineering (1990) and obtained a PhD. in Applied Economics, Operations Research and Operations Management from the K.U. Leuven in 1996.

Supply Chain Profitability and Cost Management – Promises and Perils

Logistics and supply chain managers have increasingly realized that the greatest potential to create financial value lies not within a single firm but across all the trading partner enterprises comprising a supply chain, particularly at the interface between trading partners.  At the boundaries of their firm – with their suppliers and customers – is where companies can identify mutually beneficial cost savings initiatives plus new and greater opportunities to reduce costs from core processes and to provide higher service levels to their customers. 

Supply chain profitability and cost measurement has been frequently identified as a source of value creation and competitiveness. It involves the collection, expense assignment, and analysis of profit margins and cost information across all of the work activities comprising a supply chain for the purpose of identifying opportunities to obtain a competitive advantage through a combination of reduced costs or improved performance. Although managerial accounting practices and systems exist, few companies have completed the journey of inter-organizational supply chain profit management.    

Gary Cokins is an internationally recognized expert, speaker, and author in advanced cost management and performance improvement systems. He is a Principal in Business Consulting involved with analytics and enterprise performance and risk management solutions with SAS, a leading provider of enterprise performance management and business analytics software headquartered in Cary, North Carolina.

A tax efficient supply chain.  

A tax-efficient supply chain is one that integrates tax considerations into the company’s overall business and operational planning. Together, these strategies result in increased savings. Tax-efficient supply chain planning typically involves centralizing one or more business activities.
