  12. Supply Chain Management Single Sourcing Advantages • Potentially better quality because more SQA possibilities. • Strong relationships • Greater dependency encourages more commitment and effort. • Better communication. • Easier to cooperate on new product/service development. • More scale economies. • Higher confidentiality.

Multi-sourcing Advantages • Purchaser can drive price down by competitive tendering. • Can switch sources in case of supply failure. • Wide sources of knowledge and expertise to tap. Disadvantages • Difficult to encourage commitment by supplier. • Less easy to develop effective SQA. • More effort needed to communicate. • Suppliers less likely to invest in new processes. • More difficult to obtain scale economies.

  17. Supply Chain Management Negotiation

  18. Supply Chain Management Negotiation Definition and Comments: “The process whereby two or more parties decide what each will give and take in an Exchange between them.” (Lysons & Farrinton) “Negotiation is the process by which we search for terms to obtain what we want from somebody who wants something from us.” (Total Success Training) “Negotiating is a trading game. There is only one way to play the game; that is to trade what we want from somebody else for what they want from us. The best way of being able to do this is to know what we want and what we are prepared to give to get it.” (Total success Training) “Negotiation is discussing or bargaining in order to reach agreement.” (Owen)

  19. Supply Chain Management Negotiation (What it isn’t): • Negotiation is not selling. • Negotiation is not ‘giving in’ or conceding. (Owen)

  20. Supply Chain Management Types of negotiation: Adversarial and Collaborative Adversarial Negotiation (distributive or win-lose negotiation) • Is an approach in which the focus is on ‘positions’ staked out by the participants and the assumption is that every time one party wins, the other loses, so, as a result the other party is regarded as an adversary (opponent). (Lysons & Farrington)

  21. Supply Chain Management Collaborative Negotiation (integrative or win -win negotiation) • Is an approach in which the assumption is that, by means of creative problem solving, one or both parties can gain without the other having to lose and, as the other party is regarded as a collaborator rather than an adversary, the participants may be more willing to share concerns, ideas and expectations than would otherwise be the case. (Lysons & Farrington)

  22. Supply Chain Management Make or Buy?

  25. Supply Chain Management Reasons to provide in-house: • - The unit cost is cheaper, • - It's critical to the business, • - Retain specialist knowledge/skills, • -We have control over the supply, • - Quality issues are critical, • - No suitable supplier, • - It's part of our core business/expertise,

  26. HBL - March '06 Case Study HBL Sacks over 2,000 employees An announcement of HBL said on Friday that the bank had abolished the entire cadres of manual workers with immediate effect under a retrenchment order of March 10. The order further said that it had been decided to concentrate on core banking activities and retrench all non-clerical cadres including guards, messengers, godown guards, drivers, maintenance staff and other categories of manual workers.

Currently, there are over 2,300 employees working in the HBL dedicated to non-core activities including security, transport and other manual work.
