Business Challenge at Molex

Delivery Performance sometime worse for lowdemand risk parts vs. high demand risk (i.e.Incorrect planning/ Resourcing decisions)

45% of line items are shipped, customer requestedlead-time of 7 days or less (for all products)

40% of the approximately 220k line items shippedevery month globally are low demand risk A or C


24/40

Demand Risk Code Strategy

Manage low vs. higher demand risk businessdifferently

Automatically assign a demand risk code to all partnumbers (no guessing)

Classify the Finish Goods as A (Low Risk) materialsdepending on the Past Delivery History.

Target 95% CRD and Reduced lead-times

Target no slow/excess inventory increase


25/40

Steps:

1. Define the Business Rule/Model2. Build Data Processing Model using APD

3. Analyze the Result and refine the business Model

4. Implement the Model and integrate the results in R/3

business process

5. Integrate the Results with overall Supply ChainMonitoring.


26/40

Business Rule: Risk Code Criteria

A Category (low risk)

Minimum 4 independent customers over 6 months .A common customer (e.g. IBM) with multiple sold-to locations would be counted as oneindependent customer.

At least 1 shipment in each of the 6 months.

Any 1 customer cannot exceed 75% of the pieces (Qty) shipped over 6 months (i.e., customerconcentration factor)

Impact of Supply Chain

Intent is to ship from stock in most cases using , for example, a safety stock, re-order pointstrategy and achieve a relatively high delivery performance level without generating additionalSlow & Excess inventory.


27/40

Business Rule: Risk Code Criteria

C Category (low risk with 1 major customer)

This code is manually assigned or changed in the system (R/3) by Customer Service .


Intent is to capture clearly low risk products that dont meet the A criteria because only one customerpurchases the majority of the volume.

Contractual requirement to always have stock available to meet a short pull time window.

Main customer has demonstrated consistent past compliance to a liability agreement and routinely providesa forecast.

B Category (medium and high risk): Others


Intent is to only "Build to Order" and "Build to Customer's Forecast / Scheduling Agreement".


28/40

Risk Code A CriteriaBuild in Query Conditions

Advantage

1. No ABAP Program to maintain

2. Easy to change as Business Model changes

3. Different Models by region or business segments

4. Can utilize powerful OLAP functions like Exception aggregations.
