4. Two Supply Chain Paradigms…
• Traditional Supply Chain • Intelligent Supply Chain
 Cost  Value
 Static  Dynamic
 Reactive  Proactive
 Flexibility  Agility
 Planning  Execution
 What is the optimal supply  How do we use the existing
chain configuration? configuration in the most
effective way?

5. The Chief Supply Chain Officer Agenda (impact of challenge)
Source: IBM, 2009
Cost Containment • Rapid, constant change is rocking this traditional area of
strength and outstripping supply chain executives’ ability to
(55%) adapt.
Supply Chain Visibility • Flooded with more information than ever, supply chain
executives still struggle to “see” and act on the right
(70%) information.
Risk Management • CFOs are not the only senior executives urgently concerned
about risk; risk management ranks remarkably high on the
(60%) supply chain agenda as well.
Customer intimacy/ • Despite demand-driven mantras, companies are better
increased demand (56%) connected to their suppliers than their customers.
Globalization • Contrary to initial rationale, globalization has proven to be
(43%) more about revenue growth than cost savings.

14. Værdikæder i netværk – plug’n play supply chain (1)
• Problemstilling/rationale
 Fremstilling foregår i dag i åbne globale værdikæder
 Det gælder også for danske fremstillingsvirksomheder, hvor specielt de
større virksomheder organiserer deres fremstillingsaktiviteter i globale
værdikæder
 Det giver ikke alene virksomhederne optimal adgang til nye markeder, men
også til teknologi, forskning samt højtuddannet og kvalificeret arbejdskraft
 Dansk industri består imidlertid overvejende af små og mellemstore
virksomheder, hvor en meget stor andel fungerer som fleksible
underleverandørvirksomheder, der pga. størrelse og ressourcer primært
fokuserer på nærmarkeder
 Problemet for mange af disse virksomheder er, at selv om de besidder en høj
kompetence inden for hvert deres felt, så kan de ikke alene matche de store
internationale kunders krav
 De har ikke adgang til et netværk af samarbejdspartnere, der
komplementerer deres specialer og de har ikke kapitalstyrke eller opgaver
nok til at kunne opretholde specialistkompetencer
 Der ligger derfor store muligheder for Danske underleverandører, hvis
mulighederne for samarbejde i netværk forbedres

15. Værdikæder i netværk – plug’n play supply chain (2)
• Mulige forsknings og udviklingsopgaver
 Udvikle metoder og teorier for, hvordan man optimerer/opdeler og skaber øget værdi i
komplekse værdikæder
 Integration mellem OEM’s og mindre leverandørers ”produktionssystemer”
 Udvikling af et fleksibelt IT system, der kan samle værdikæder i et netværk med
ukendte partnere
 Udvikling af en virtuel markedsplads til hurtig udbygning af netværk
 Udvikling af metoder, der sikrer, at vi som minimum får den sammen produktivitet i
netværk som i forhold til single location produktion
 Udvikling af metoder og teknologier der understøtter distribueret R&D
 Innovativ udvikling i netværk, eg. i sammen med kunden, leverandører og videncentre
 Integration af teknologileverandører i udvikling
 Udforskning af netværkssamarbejde og konceptet ”Intelligente” forsyningskæder
 Centrale faktorer og egenskaber der karakteriserer netværk, som bringer dem op på et
langsigtet vedvarende kompetitivt niveau
 Identifikation af hvilke teknologier, der kan blive danske spydspidser inden for design af
nye produktionssystemer
 Udvikling af konceptuelle modeller for netværk og tilsvarende produktionssystemer
