Introduction In 1990’s, Hewlett-Packard faced several problems with inventory levels for the DeskJet Printer product line. This printer was produced in Vancouver’s facility and from there was shipped to a distribution center. HP has three distribution centers (DC), in North America, Asia Pacific and Europe that at the moment were filled of DeskJet stock.

The DeskJet Supply Chain The management change DCs: make-to-stock mode
inventory level=forecasted sales + safety stock level
Manufacturing: pull mode
3 major sources of uncertainty that could affect the supply chain: Delivery of incoming materials Internal process Demand

The inventory and service crisis Europe Problem Contained issues • Safety stock –Forecasting system –Make-to-stock system –Multiple products • Long lead time

The inventory and service crisis Safety Stock Great variations in market demand, keeping the firm’s target service level (98% in this case), i.e., meeting consumers’ requests with a higher probability.

The inventory and service crisis forecasting system Localization Inaccurate forecasts Uncoordinated and divided in terms of inventory policy

The inventory and service crisis Make-to-stock system Due to all the lacks in forecasts and to long lead times, creates high levels of inventory in the DC’s resulting in carrying costs. By using push system, HP has to calculate at great length its inventory levels avoiding stock-out and overstock.

The inventory and service crisis Multiple products This variety in products contributes to high levels of inventory because there’s more products to keep in safety stock and to forecast expected demand.

Issues to be discussed Long lead time Reduction in lead time, the standard deviation of demand during lead and review time is reduced. This is due to the fact that smaller lead-times imply an absolute variation in demand, smaller than with larger lead-times.
Issues to be discussed Air Shipment Asian and European distribution centers receive orders more frequently, they won’t need to keep higher safety stocks when compared to sea transportation.
Issues to be discussed New Plant Another alternative would be to install a new plant somewhere between Europe and Asia. This would allow for smaller transportation costs and lead times.

Issues to be discussed ERP System Another proposal has to do with the implementation of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system
Conclusion Improve forecasting system Reduce the lead time and safety stock Air shipment New Plant
