Supplier Value Management Approach (SVM) – Focus Area � Value-creating partnerships (win-win) between customer

Supplier Value Management Approach (SVM) – Focus Area � Value-creating partnerships (win-win) between customer & vendor Optimizing costs and resources in the entire value chain Understand each others requirement & eliminate inefficiency, assumptions in the chain & align the supplier to the end customer’s requirement Establish communication channels at all levels to leverage knowledge and resources for mutual benefit Create a platform for continuous improvement � Thorough understanding of entire supply chain can be developed on: � � › › › � Cost base of Supplier Usage Cost: Product specification, design, new product development, cycle time reduction etc. Impact of technology Quality Bottlenecks Future requirements of Buyer & Supplier Benefits: › › › Overall cost base reduction at Buyer and Suppliers end Better understanding of each other requirements A joint working atmosphere

Case Study – Hired Material Handling Equipments � Background: › › Spend: Rs. 400

Case Study – Hired Material Handling Equipments � Background: › › Spend: Rs. 400 – 500 Lacs GHCL - SA plant handles approx. 10000 MT of bulk material – daily. Material handling includes � Feeding of RM in SA plant and its internal movement � Proper storage of excess material to ensure optimum utilization of available storage space � Loading of vehicles to shift bulk material like ash, undersize Limestone, etc. out of plant › � Part of bulk material is handled using mechanized system (Truck tipplers, conveyors, etc. ) and part is handled using hired equipments viz. loader, dumper, TC, dozer, excavator, etc. Challenges: › In spite of having full fledged mechanized system to cater for 100% RM requirement of plant, Sizable amount of material was handled using hired equipments due to variety of reasons viz. � Irregular receipt of RM during the year as well as during the day � Requirement to store large volume of RM for usage during monsoons, festival, etc. due to scarce supply › Spend followed uniformly upward trend due to dependence on diesel prices, manpower cost equipment capital and maintenance cost

Case Study – Hired Material Handling Equipments � Methodology adopted: › Formulation of cross

Case Study – Hired Material Handling Equipments � Methodology adopted: › Formulation of cross functional team › Graphical depiction of MH activity: Multiple re-handling observed due to lack of online storage facilities, scope for improvement in mechanization, scope for contract re-engineering type which was hourly based, etc. › External analysis – Study of similar industries practices: Each unit scrutinized had their unique contracts for handling bulk material. As is implementation in our system was not feasible › Hypothesis compiled for further consideration, which included – �Conversion of hourly based payment contracts to MT based contracts, �clubbing of activities �contract consolidation to improve equipment utilization, etc. �create online storage facility

Case Study – Hired Material Handling Equipments � Conclusion / Outcome: › Indirect tonnage

Case Study – Hired Material Handling Equipments � Conclusion / Outcome: › Indirect tonnage measuring method adopted for tonnage based contract. Approx. 87% of handling activities are being carried out on tonnage basis which was about 43% earlier. Benefits - reduction in requirement of continuous supervision, simplified operations and increased accountability of contractor › Activities were consolidated in Sizer operation for better equipment utilization and hence derive cost benefits › Contracts renegotiated based on alternate quotations received from experienced outside contractors. Though original contractors were not changed, to avoid local disturbance › Proposals for creation of Online storage facilities (storage on top of conveying system) are generated & may be implemented post budgetary approvals

Case Study – Bearings � Scenario: › › › � Annual Spend: Rs 110

Case Study – Bearings � Scenario: › › › � Annual Spend: Rs 110 lacs(approx) No of Vendors: 4 Nos (FAG, SKF, NTN, Timken) Annual Rate Contract with Authorised Dealer of FAG & SKF Challenges: › › Transaction with high number of Vendors High Lead time in procurement Price List based items (Less Discount was offered by Authorised Dealers) Higher Inventory level was maintained for satisfying frequent Maintenance requirement � Remedial Actions Taken › › Direct OEMs (SKF& FAG) invited to study our consumption pattern and submit offer for long term contract. Contract was finalized with SKF, with VMI at plant � Benefits › › › Discount Structure was revised from 25% to 27% on list price with 5% TOD VMI was introduced without any additional cost. Better Discount and T&Cs were extended to other units of GHCL (Vapi & Madurai)
