This case study illustrates the use of the total cost of ownership concept to analyze and compare two supply chains – one international and one domestic. The case provides an opportunity to  calculate economic order quantity and safety stock quantities and then combine purchase price, shipping costs, and inventory carrying costs to quantify the differences between the two supply chains.

This case study is designed to explore the challenges of forecasting and inventory management in spare parts industry. Most items in this industry have lumpy, intermittent, erratic and slow demand patterns. Traditional forecasting techniques cannot be applied to this group. Also most textbook methods on inventory planning, assumes the demand is normally distributed – which is also not the case in spare parts industry. Strategies can be tested for the demand data provided for about 40 items.

Supply chains are growing more complex and challenging. Where this revolution will lead us over the next decade is worthy of analysis. The Logistics 2030 study investigates the likely drivers of future supply chain success.

The resurgence of warehousing and distribution can be attributed largely to the growth of online commerce. Over the course of 2019 and early 2020, information was collected on the current practices of warehousing and distribution. The following analysis provides a comparative view of today's capabilities versus next decade's requirements.

Sustainability is impacting the way companies operate in every industry across the globe. Yet our understanding of supply chain sustainability and its impact on enterprises is limited. The State of Supply Chain Sustainability 2020 Report aims to fill this information gap and to help inform what the future of supply chain sustainability might look like.
