CHINA SOURCING GROUP: DELIVERING ON TIME
China Sourcing Group (CSG) una empresa fundada en 1912 en la ciudad de Nueva York, especializada en productos de primera calidad y de regalo, y cuya base de operación se encuentra en Estados Unidos; en 2004 decide abrir una oficina de abastecimiento en Shanghai, a la cual se le dio la responsabilidad de suministrar proveedores en China y en Asia del Sur. La oficina de Shanghai estaba encargada del abastecimiento, del desarrollo de productos, auditoría y manejo de proveedores, control de calidad, y envío de productos.
La mayor proporción de sus clientes eran tiendas de cadena, para las cuales usaban dos tipos de envío: importación directa (“DI”), mediante la cual los productos le llegaban directamente al cliente y se vendían apenas llegaban a EEUU; y envío interno (“DOM”), mediante el cual se enviaban los productos a los almacenes de China Sourcing Group en EEUU, y se mantenían en inventario hasta que las tiendas de cadena los requirieran. Los tiempos de entrega de la importación directa eran críticos para CSG, pues un retraso en las entregas significaba que los clientes tendrían un espacio vacío en su almacén; mientras que las entregas de envíos internos, al ser productos enviados para inventario, resultaban menos críticos.
La decisión de abrir la nueva oficina permitió que China Sourcing Group, en los siguientes cuatro años, incrementara en cuatro veces sus ingresos. Sin embargo, y a pesar del gran beneficio que la oficina de Shanghai le representó a la compañía, los directivos detectaron una debilidad en la operación de la misma, pues estaban teniendo retrasos en las entregas de productos nuevos que debían ser desarrollados de cero. De esta falencia surgió entonces la pregunta objeto del presente escrito: ¿cuáles son las principales causas de los retrasos en las entregas de la oficina de Shanghai de CSG?
Según se menciona en el texto del caso, existían muchas causas para las demoras en las entregas de la oficina de Shanghai que serán analizadas a continuación:
Las actividades que más contribuían a los retrasos en las entregas de los productos eran las relacionadas con el desarrollo de nuevos productos (contribución del 60%), pues el proceso involucraba muchos niveles de aprobación para lograr llegar a la producción masiva, y ello implicaba en muchas ocasiones que el equipo de diseño de EEUU de CSG se demoraba en enviar la información a Shanghai, y por tanto, se retrasaba el completamiento del proceso de envío de los productos. Adicionalmente, tenían que lidiar en muchas ocasiones con cambios al producto de última hora requeridos por el cliente, lo cual desviaba de la planeación inicial algunas actividades, y por tanto, retrasaba el proceso completo. Por otra parte, el proceso de desarrollo de nuevos productos incluía el manejo de nuevos proveedores, y de actividades nuevas que debían ser realizadas debido a nuevos procesos requeridos para la producción de estos productos.
La selección y el manejo de proveedores también representaba una gran contribución al retraso, pues CSG contaba con una base de proveedores demasiada grande (más de 1000), y cada uno de estos proveedores era evaluado de acuerdo a los requerimientos de cada cliente para el que SCG trabajaría, lo cual implica la realización de procesos largos de auditoría para que los proveedores se ajustaran a los estándares éticos, ambientales, y sociales exigidos.
Al seleccionar sus proveedores, debían hacer un proceso largo de control y verificación de requerimientos de regulación de materiales (certificaciones) usado para los productos (tanto en el producto mismo, como en el empaque del mismo).
El control de calidad era otro obstáculo para la entrega a tiempo de los productos, pues la planeación de este control fue pensada para ser realizaba justo antes de que los productos fueran enviados. En ese momento se buscaban los defectos del producto en sí mismo, y los defectos del empaque, justo cuando los productos habían pasado ya por todas las etapas del proceso. Por supuesto esto generaba devoluciones, y por tanto retrasos en el envío.
China Sourcing Group generalmente manejaba muchos eslabones en su cadena de abastecimiento, con centralización de actividades: un proveedor de partes, y otro diferente de ensamblaje de dichas partes (por ejemplo), lo cual requería de una gran coordinación entre las partes involucradas, pues existía una relación de dependencia entre ellas. No existía esta coordinación, de manera que no se lograba siempre un flujo de material continuo y adecuado; lo cual nos lleva a la discusión de la siguiente causa de retrasos: la comunicación.
La compañía no contaba con una plataforma para compartir información entre las partes involucradas en el los procesos de concepción, aprobación, consecución de proveedores, producción masiva de productos, y envío de productos. No había ninguna facilidad para la comunicación tanto interna como con clientes y proveedores, así que la información usualmente se compartía entre departamentos de manera aislada e individual, sin tener ningún tipo de trazabilidad, y generando mayor consumo de tiempo durante el proceso.
Las causas de retraso en la entregas de los productos de China Sourcing Group vienen dadas, según lo tratado en párrafos anteriores, por una cadena lineal y secuencial de actividades que resultan en una “bola de nieve”: muchos niveles de aprobación que requieren de bastante tiempo para ser gestionados, envío de la lista de materiales a Shanghai, solicitud de cotizaciones a proveedores, elección y aceptación de cotización por parte del cliente, etc…hasta llegar a la producción masiva, al control de calidad, y finalmente al envío de los productos.
El retraso se genera, no sólo si la primera actividad se demora más de lo planeado, pues cada una de las actividades tiene tanta dependencia una en la otra, que se afectan directamente; sino que cada actividad por separado y en sí misma tiene gran riesgo de demora en gestionarse, entonces el impacto es doble.
Oportunidades de Mejora
• Hace falta una herramienta para el flujo de información rápido, y para consulta de dicha información 24/7 por parte del equipo involucrado en el proceso. Se necesita involucrar optimización de flujo de información, servicios, y materiales.

• Control de calidad no al final del proceso sino durante todas las etapas del mismo.

• Racionalización de la base de proveedores mediante un proceso juicioso de selección que tome en cuenta distancias, cultura, requerimientos de calidad, ambientales, etc.

• Involucrar a los proveedores en la cadena de abastecimiento desde una etapa más temprana (ESI- Early Supplier Involvement), de manera que aporten a la planeación de la producción y se comprometan de manera más directa con ella. Que estén más enterados del concepto y del por qué de las cosas (necesidades, justificaciones de especificaciones de producto, diseño, materiales, requerimientos del cliente, tiempos, etc)

• Es importante notar que existen diferentes niveles de criticidad en la entrega de productos “DI”, y en la entrega de productos “DOM”, por lo cual también debería haber una priorización de producción disímil para productos con diferentes destinos.

• CSG pareciera no estimar dentro del plazo de entrega un tiempo prudente de holgura para imprevistos.

• Tal vez; y es sólo una idea de “brainstorming” que tendría que evaluarse dependiendo de las políticas y de los objetivos de la compañía; China Sourcing Group debería competir no por tiempos de entrega rápidos, sino por cumplir con los tiempos de entrega que pacte con el cliente. Me explico: al desarrollar una visión en la que se comprometan a entregar sus productos en un tiempo pactado con el cliente (no necesariamente el menor tiempo ofrecido por el mercado), dejando a un lado la competencia por entregas rápidas, y mantener su palabra y su pacto con precisión, enfocándose en la exactitud, integridad y cumplimiento de lo que ofrecen, permite proporcionar al cliente y al proveedor (interno y externo), información completa y realista. Este cambio de visión podría mejorar la percepción, la imagen, y el juicio del cliente con respecto a la compañía.

• Mejora de "time to market" con disponibilidad planeada, y datos precisos, completos, actualizados, y consistentes para sus clientes.

Caso Lego

...Caso LEGO 1. Why did LEGO's first turnaround effort (Ploughman 1999-2004) fail and its second attempt (Knudstorp, 2004-2010) succeed? La administración de Ploughman(1999 -2004), fue afectada por factores externos al Grupo LEGO. Debido a que la compañía se encontraba en una industria altamente competitiva, con productos cuyo ciclo de vida era cada vez más corto, por lo difícil que resultaba diferenciarlos, entró en una guerra constante en la que la competencia ofrecía imitaciones a menores precios. Otro de los factores que influyó en el retroceso de la empresa fue el hecho de que los niños contaban con menos tiempo para jugar, por otras actividades extracurriculares, reduciendo su tiempo libre. Además, la introducción de los videojuegos y actividades en Internet, redujo la etapa de niñez y perdiendo el interés por los juegos para pequeños. Ploughman decidió atacar con una estrategia demasiado agresiva, que consistía en diversificar sus productos. Hasta llegar a un punto en el que era demasiada la diversidad de productos y no existía ningún control para limitar la diversificación. Pasaron de ofrecer únicamente juguetes a invertirle en productos como camisetas, relojes e incluso la apertura de parques temáticos. Ellos esperaban que al incluir estos productos en su portafolio les generaría mayores ingresos, pero sucedió lo contrario, puesto que la inversión fue muy alta, aumentando sus costos de operación y generando un inventario “slow-moving” con una retorno sobre la inversión...

Children are playing computer games at a younger age, eroding the share of their playtime that was once dominated by toys. 1.2.2 Demographics In developed countries, aging population coupled with lowering birth rates are the primary driving forces for industry players going forward. I believe that this should provide implications on the future directions that LEGO should take. 1.2 External Environment – SWOT Analysis 1.3.3 Strengths and Opportunities The LEGO brand itself is entrenched deeply within the building toys industry. This strength is especially valuable to certain sub-industries under the broader toys industry such as infants’ toys and serious gaming. LEGO is also a trusted brand in education and with parents. LEGO can leverage on this strong brand name to perhaps explore opportunities in non-traditional markets such as the silver industry. LEGO, being an established brand that the older generations are familiar with, can expand into these industries. In addition, the trend towards more playtimes spent on computer games opens up the digital market for LEGO as well. The culture of innovation and LEGO’s unique product offering – providing building blocks for players to create and invent is a valuable and complex strength embedded in its organizational culture that can be used to reliably gain a foothold in the digital games market. 1.3.4 Weaknesses and Threats The consolidation of licenses under Disney, coupled with LEGO’s...

Lego Case Study Question #5

...5. Summarize the strategic risks using the Strategic Risk Management framework and map the risks on the LEGO PAPA model. The LEGO Group uses a four step Strategic Risk Management model which is comprised of Enterprise Risk Management, Monte Carlo Simulations, Active Risk and Opportunity Planning, and Preparing for Uncertainty. Using the Strategic Risk Management Framework, there are many different risks on the pyramid that the LEGO Group are open to. They are shaded and explained below. Customer Risk—LEGO’s products are geared to younger children. It needs to fulfill otherwise unmet customer needs in the Asian market to make a presence and gain market share in that market. “Market research firms noted a strong preference for preschool and educational toys in most emerging Asian economies. For example, Chinese sales of scientific/educational toys and construction toys had grown 20% between 2009 and 2010.” The LEGO Group has a plethora of construction toys and it prides itself on its ability to use consumer insight in product development. “Anyone can get consumer insight, but many people have a hard time dissecting this information and utilizing it in their product development.”1 We believe LEGO should proceed with caution and do more research because their own focus groups with Chinese mothers contradicts the preference above. “The post-eighties mums grew up in this hard school paradigm. They don’t want to offer their kids that same experience. These parents want...

Yellow by Nathan Sawaya

...This is one of Nathan Sawaya’s signature piece titled “Yellow”. At a glance, the first words that we think of are ‘yellow’, ‘Lego’ and ‘torn’. However, if we look at this sculpture patiently, then more complicated and abstract words like ‘repent’, ‘suffering’, and “absolvent” come to mind. The reason I found this exhibit so intriguing is because of the world of opposite going on within it. Play bricks or Lego, which are such simple and innocent play toys for children have been used to construct a sculpture which has a very eerie and dark vibe emitting from it. The color ‘yellow’ too, adds to this one of a kind ‘unity in conflict’. One would associate yellow with happiness, laughter and maybe even hope. However, the kinds of emotion and sentiment this sculpture screams out are those of a darker shade like black and maroon. I believe this unison of light and dark elements of the sculpture is what gives it its balanced and at the same time, intriguing appeal. My imagination makes me believe that light plays a very important role in the whole exhibit. Without the lighting, the ‘story’ would be incomplete. The sculpture looks up as if it were reaching out to a higher, more divine entity. There are several interpretations that resonate in the sculpture - A devotee performing a cleansing ritual for the God he believes in, a sinner in the middle of a confession, a commoner trying to relieve himself of stress or maybe even a lover ‘pouring his heart out’ to his long lost love!

The appearance of the toy, the activities of each set, and the packaging of the toy reinforces stereotypes and the connotative meaning of boys and girls. One difference between the girl and boy Legos are their packaging. The packaging of the girl and boy Lego sets are almost completely different.

Lego Company

...Part 1: Background info In 2004, Lego found itself losing up to $1 million dollars a day (page 39), a position no big company wishes to find itself in. It had been determined that new leadership was vital to the company’s survival. As a result, Jorden Vig Knudstorp took over as CEO five years later. Knudstorp immediately noticed poor internal organizational structure that ultimately resulted in frustrated retailers and less shelf space (page 39). Knudstorp successfully cut production costs by creating new designs. He also successfully introduced new markets for Lego products, such as movie collection and video game products targeting adults and girls. From within the organization of the company, Knudstorp successfully shifted the culture away from ineffective and costly innovation and geared more towards profit. Some of these organizational changes included incentives for developing cost cutting methods, innovation and sales. He also took the initiative to create new markets in the virtual world through video games and movies (page 40). With these changes brought about by Knudstorp, Lego found itself in a situation where they were successfully developing new technology, new methods and a more simplified information of enterprise systems, all which were cost effective and ultimately brought the company back to success. Part 2 (discussion questions at the back of the book) The key change in business strategy was to cut costs and gear more towards profit. The objective was...

Case Write Up for Lego

...Alisa Olson MGT405 Section 7 Sunduramurthy 29 November 2012 Case Write Up: LEGO Group LEGO Group has been a successful company in the toy industry since they started in 1949. As of 2010, LEGO remained a privately held company by the Kirk Kristiansen family. Annual sales reached an all-time high equaling over $3.7 billion. The company’s strongest lines were LEGO Star Wars, LEGO City, and LEGO DUPLO. Even though the company has maintained a competitive advantage, they face some seriously threatening issues. Some of the current issues they face are maintaining patents, company acquisitions, court battles, and new competition. In 1984, TYCO introduced Super Blocks, which were almost identical to the plastic brick design that LEGO has. TYCO had advertisements that stated “if you can’t tell the difference, why pay the difference”. LEGO launched a four year lawsuit against them, but by 1988 the patent for LEGO’s building block design expired, so they lost the lawsuit. All the effort against TYCO was wasted. LEGO should have renewed their patent to prevent incidents such as this one from happening. Once this patent expired, the barriers of competition were lowered significantly in the building toy market. In 2009, Disney acquired the comic book company Marvel Entertainment for $4 billion.

...Case Studies Lego The Danish company Lego is one of the most famous brands in the world when it comes to children’s toys and has grown since it was founded in 1932 into a global business. Its origins lie with Ole Kirk Christiansen, a carpenter from Billund (where the firm is still based) who bought a woodworking business in 1916 and made furniture for local farmers. For various reasons he shifted his production range in the 1930s to make children’s toys and in 1934 named the company ‘Lego’ from the Danish words leg and godt, meaning ‘play well’. His early products - wooden pull toys, piggy banks, cars and trucks – were reasonably successful but a key turning point for the business came in the 1940s when they began making plastic toys including a truck which could be taken apart and re-assembled. In 1949 Lego began producing a set of interlocking bricks (based on an original patent by the UK Kiddicraft company for which they bought the rights) made from cellulose acetate and using an early version of a hollow design with holes and studs. The now familiar Lego bricks appeared on the market in 1953 but were not initially very successful, partly due to poor perceptions amongst consumers and retailers of plastic toys. The key was probably the emergence of the idea of a building system based on interlocking bricks – an idea which took some time to develop and is closely linked to the son of the founder, Godtfred Kirk Christiansen. His discussions with buyers, especially in the USA...

Fact Paper

...Tim Chou Spring 2014 Fact Paper LEGO “It’s not a franchise, it’s a highly sophisticated interlocking brick system,” says Will Ferrell to his adolescent son in the recently released mega blockbuster hit The LEGO Movie. Yellow, vibrant, educational, and fun, LEGO’s have been around for generations. Created by Danish carpenter Ole Kirk Kristiansen in 1932, and derived from the Danish words “Leg Godt” which means “play well”, LEGO’s have made a remarkable recovery from almost being bankrupt in the early 2000s, to the very much alive and thriving business it is now. Jorgen Vig Knudstorp, who came to be the LEGO CEO in 2004, helped them become the most profitable and fastest growing company in the toy industry besides Mattel. Their products are developed with the upmost care; as stated in their motto: “Kun det bedste er godt nok” which means 'only the best is good enough', and is marketed at children but bought and collected and loved by adult fans as well. LEGO’s have not only stood and passed the test of time, it is also a “psychological tool and a way to relax”, quoted by leading psychologist Jon Sutton, and proven to help children’s play, creativity, and imagination. In the Lego Movie, Emmet Brickowski (The LEGO Movie’s protagonist) uses creativity and intelligent management to save his city of Bricksburg. Coincidentally, the same went for Knudstorp who saved the LEGO Company from almost certain bankruptcy. In the 1990s, LEGO was facing bankruptcy due to a few major...

...Lego Case Study -Avinash Mavireddi 1. After Knudstorp has taken the control of Lego, the first thing he stressed on was the Supply Chain Management. Earlier, the components produced by Lego were primarily used for only one pattern or model. So the prototype designers were asked to use the same blocks for more than one design. This was the first step taken by Knudstorp that resulted in reducing the production of Lego components to almost half of what they were producing before. It also helped in reducing the expenses on the components mold significantly. The new approach has generalized the Lego components and this gave children an unlimited ability to think and create different models and design beyond what they can imagine. On the whole it even widened the range of products that Lego had. Another strategy that Lego employed was to induce the themes of films that were a huge success like Indian Jones and Star Wars. They didn’t stop at this and started to carefully maneuver into the Video games which featured animated Lego cast. All this growth in the company created a pressure on the Information Systems. Order management and fulfillment were the two sectors that were impacted severely and in turn it resulted in missing the customer demands. To overcome this situation, Employee management systems were widened by adding new employees to the stability and growth at many new locations. Product design and development were the other two modules which needs to be concentrated now...
