[note] These are key messages around the Adaptive Supply Chain that are derived &/or taken from HP’s external Adaptive Enterprise collateral
Key Point
Convey HP’s internal vision and imperative for an Adaptive SC and how we characterize it.
At HP, we are continuously striving to build adaptive and responsive SC process capabilities. Our objectives for doing so are to improve

9. page 9 Venu Nagali – ESCA Sep 06 Components for PRM framework A fundamental tool used in risk management is the forecast scenario. Forecast scenarios measure and make use of information about uncertainty, information which is often available, but ignored!
Measuring and using uncertainty, however, increases our flexibility for meeting business objectives in rapidly changing markets. This slide illustrates the use of uncertainty to segment, then allocate demand.
Demand segmentation provides a mechanism for allocating demand to suppliers based on individual strengths. Based on choice of cost structure, some suppliers are better at providing flexibility. Quantity contracts designed and allocated based on financial strengths are likely to produce cost benefits for both buyer and seller.
The use of multiple contract types to meet demand requirements is called a procurement portfolio. This portfolio approach produces results similar to personal asset portfolios: return and managed risk. A well design procurement portfolio improves returns and reduces AOS risk through complementary contracts. Fixed quantity contracts improve cost and ensure committed supply, flexible contracts reduce inventory exposure and provide upside demand flexibility.

13. page 13 Venu Nagali – ESCA Sep 06 PRM enables a combination of objectives PRM differs from most corporate risk mgmt initiatives in that we are focused on reducing operational costs and risks, not just mitigating catastrophic risks.
The structured sourcing approaches are not new in themselves. Some have been applied previously in hi-tech (qty commitments, inventory buys), but without a rigorous, systematic approach to making tradeoffs they entailed high inventory risk. Other approaches have been applied in other industries (price caps, flex qty agreements in energy). What is new is that we are providing analytical tools to enable us to reap the potential of these approaches while understanding the risks.PRM differs from most corporate risk mgmt initiatives in that we are focused on reducing operational costs and risks, not just mitigating catastrophic risks.
