01 Supply chain
, General introduction
In this chapter, we will start the journey of exploring the fundamentals of the supply chain
and take a first look at:
the role of the supply chain within the context of a company;
some definitions of the supply chain and related terms;
how big our supply chain would need to be;
the impact of the size of a company;
the building blocks of the supply chain.
What is a supply chain?
Importance of the supply chain: technical area or business
function?
What is the supply chain, and why should we bother to study the topic at all? There are many
ways to answer that question, but rather than producing statistics about supply chain
expenditure on a company or country level, perhaps an easy way to visualize the importance
of the supply chain as an integral area of business is to see what happens if it doesn’t seem to
work properly.
Frequently, we read stories in the newspapers that illustrate the consequences of
disruptions in the supply chain. The articles might not even use the term supply chain as such,
but speak, for example, of suppliers, manufacturing or logistics. Because such supply chain
disruptions are happening all the time, we’ll propose an exercise about them later in this part.
But first let’s look at some recent examples on a larger scale that happened around the time of
writing of this book in 2017–18. Examples that come to mind are the story about the apparent
problematic ramp-up of Tesla’s Model 3, due to a wide variety of issues ranging from
production difficulties with robots, obliging the company to switch to manual labour, through
continuous product design changes causing problems with tool makers, to supplier
relationship management problems (Financial Times, 2017). As CNN published in March
2018 (Isidore, 2018): ‘the company had originally promised it would be making 5,000 Model
3’s every week by the end of last year [2017], but delivered only 222 in the third quarter, and
another 1,542 throughout the entire fourth quarter. It has now pushed the 5,000 a week target
back to the end of June’ [of 2018]. Meanwhile, Tesla is obviously working hard to fix the
issues and get back on the original track. On 3 April 2018, the company stated in an official
press release that ‘Tesla continues to target a production rate of approximately 5,000 units per
week in about three months, laying the groundwork for Q3 to have the long-sought ideal
combination of high volume, good gross margin and strong positive operating cash flow. As a
result, Tesla does not require an equity or debt raise this year, apart from standard credit line’
(Tesla, 2018). Independent of the questions of why and how this could have happened and
who might be blamed for it, the matter is probably not that simple and straightforward. The
company could run the risk of burning its cash and experience a drop in share price, should
the problem persist. In addition, customer trust could potentially be harmed in the process.
Hopefully, Tesla will indeed be able to turn things around, but for the moment it looks as if
it’s been a long and tough supply-chain ride for them.
Or take the news about global ocean shipping giant Hanjin, at the time a top-five player in
the industry, filing for bankruptcy while large numbers of containers were still waiting for
their ships at numerous ports around the world, and many of their ships were still at sea full
of containers, but with no liquidity left in the company to bring them to shore (Guardian,
2016). Or the story about the supply problems of paper-fibre manufacturers in Brazil, plus a
season with a more than average number of forest fires in Canada, leading to a toilet-paper
