2. Definitions • Risk: • Decision theory – range of possible outcomes & their values, upside gains & downside losses • Hazard or threat (technological risk; political risk) • Safety & Engineering: Downside consequences of rational decision (worst case scenario) • Supply Chain Vulnerability: • What has disrupted operations in the past? • What known weaknesses do we have? • What ‘near misses’ have we experienced? • What would be the effect of a key material shortage? • What would be the effect of the loss of a distribution site? • What would be the effect of the loss of a key supplier or customer? • Robust Strategy: • Firm able to manage regular demand fluctions regardless of disruption • Resilience • Ability of the system to return to its original (or desired) state after disturbance Finland 2010

20. Rolls Royce Early Supplier InvolvementG.A. Zsidisin, M.E. Smith, The Journal of Supply Chain Management [Fall 2005] 44-56 • Aerospace Division • Industry driven by cost, reliability • Extensive R&D • Rolls Royce typically 3-4 years for new product • Industry averaged 10 to 20 years • Supplier-provided components 65-80% Finland 2010

21. Rolls Royce ESI process • Establish customer need • Identify EDI project • Develop component target costs • Prepare ESI project & milestones • Inform business units • Determine commodity breakdown • Develop potential supplier list • Develop business objective • Supplier workshops • Review expectations with suppliers • Conduct ESI workshop • Value engineering, evaluate prices & technical • Evaluate & score suppliers • Make recommendations • Inform suppliers • Develop working agreements & implement Finland 2010

22. ESI Benefits • Reduced threat of excessive costs • Reduced legal liabilities • Improved quality • Relaxed supplier capacity constraints • Reduced product development time • Better able to handle product design changes • Better control over supplier leadership issues Finland 2010

23. Risk of DisintermediationJ.F. Mills & V. Camek, International Journal of Physical distribution & Logistics Management 34:9 [2004] 714-727 • Motokov UK Ltd • British importer/distributer in tractors, tires • TRACTORS • Landini – Italian agricultural machinery manufacturer • Initially marketed through Edwards Ltd tractor dealership • Replaced with exclusive dealership (Motokov) for 3.5 years • Replaced with newly formed Landini UK distribution • Landini had damage settlement expenses when terminated with disintermediated firms • Felt they obtained better control, worth expense Finland 2010

24. Tires • Motokov dealt with Matador Tyres • Exclusive UK distributors • Tires frangible, low margin • Matador disintermediatedMotokov in early 1990s • 1994 Motokov rebuilt business around Barum tires (Czech) • Barum acquired by Continental, who reconfigured their supply chain • 1995 Motokov dropped Barum, returned to Matador • No longer sole importer • 2002 Matador acquired large customers wanting reduced costs • Source producer dealt directly with customers • Motokov too small, disintermediated Finland 2010

25. Tractors • Zetor a Czech tractor producer, founded 1946 • 1960s supplied UK through Motokov • Late 1990s Zetor had financial problems • Full capacity, but no profit • 1998 to 2000 halted production • Before 1998 Motokov sold about 600 Zetor tractors per year • 2000 down to 200 • Zetor would benefit from buying out Motkov, reduce costs Finland 2010
