Evidencia 4: Supply Chain Planning

Defining a supply chain is simple enough. It is a term that describes the planning,
sourcing, manufacturing, distribution, and delivery of products or services from the point
of origin to consumption. However, the details are numerous, highly varied, and difficult
for humans to manage in an efficient and profitable manner. […] A supply chain network
is comprised of many components, or supply chain nodes, that are connected via flow
paths. Inventory and products — as well as information — travel along these flow paths
to the various supply chain nodes, with the ultimate goal of ensuring that customers’
needs are met (in the most profitable way possible).

Amazon’s Supply Chain: Acting Outside the Box

I probably don’t need to tell you that Amazon is a Master of Supply Chain innovation, what with
its passionate commitment to implementing drones in the future, the use of robots and advanced
automation in its distribution centres, and the enterprise’s excursion into Uber-style logistics
services.

In fact, it seems there are almost no home-delivery markets the former online book-store won’t
try to corner, and no method it won’t try in order to do so. So diverse is Amazon’s range of
fulfillment services in fact, that it’s becoming hard to tell if the company is a retailer or a third-
party logistics provider.

Indeed, if a warehouse is a box, Amazon is fully prepared to take its operation inside the boxes
of other companies, especially if those companies are Amazon’s suppliers.

Boxes Within Boxes

Innovation is the key to supply chain excellence, and it’s something which sits at the very top of
the Amazon business agenda. For example, one of the online-retail empire’s latest moves has
been right into the warehouses of consumer goods suppliers such as Proctor and Gamble.

While it’s not uncommon to hear of vendors co-locating with customers, Amazon is reversing the
practice and operating under its vendors’ roofs. The operation works as follows: the supplier
picks products according to purchase orders from Amazon, and then moves the pallets into
Amazon’s fenced-off area of the warehouse. Here, a team of Amazon employees sorts the

products into outbound orders, packages them, and dispatches them to its customers.
The aptly named “Vendor Flex” program also creates a win-win situation for Amazon and its
supplier. Amazon doesn’t need to take up space in its own fulfillment centres with bulky items
such as diapers and tissue paper, and P&G can supply Amazon without the expense of over-
the-road transportation—the goods only move from one area of P&G’s warehouse to another.

The Incredible Value of Crumbs

So, what can we learn from the example of Vendor Flex by Amazon? How about the fact that
innovational concepts don’t have to be overly complicated in order to be brilliant? By taking
an established concept (vendor-managed inventory) and turning it on its head, Amazon is
making its entry into a new market less expensive and more practicable than it would otherwise
be.
As a final takeaway from Amazon’s supply chain mastery, consider this: The company is selling
consumer staples; commodities for which online demand is actually very low. Few consumers
are currently attracted to online purchases of household consumables.

So why is Amazon going to the trouble of picking up crumbs in this particular market?

Here’s the reason … even though American shoppers buy only 2% of their consumer staples
online, that tiny portion of volume amounts to somewhere around $20 billion. Sometimes then,
leveraging your supply chain to pick up small slivers of business can be a way to boost revenue
considerably—especially if those small slivers are in big markets.
