70% of new supplier agreements contain inflation driven economic adjustment clauses with the use of indices being the most common. It might be time for price risk sharing in buyer-supplier relationships. https://lnkd.in/g_ByzrNU.

Has Strategic Cost Mgmt (i.e., Price Analysis) become a lost art? Tools we use to teach this: https://lnkd.in/gNrUtNU5.

I have asked a lot of SCM managers how they “prepare” to negotiate price increase requests from their suppliers. In particular, I was curious about how and where they get their data from (i.e., CME, COMEX, etc.). Many said their suppliers provide that information. I am not convinced that using data from your suppliers is a form of “Preparation” for negotiation.

What are buyers to do? Procurement orgs need processes & “tools” to mitigate & negotiate on these requests in a strategic, data-driven manner (& we/I need to do a better job of teaching it).

In our SCM program, we are looking at raw material market data from multiple sources, we will visualize & analyze historical pricing scenarios, & do some simulating on planned purchases & what-if scenarios against forward price curves. Stay tuned for our case study report based on price analysis & strategic cost mgmt research…

Some of our alumni are already testing and / or implementing automated business processes based on such tools, see:

MGMT 481-0/381-0 (Improving Supply Systems – Experiential Live Lean Six Sigma Projects)
Course
Description: The primary objective of this course is to extend the student’s knowledge of the basic elements, issues, and problems facing the firm’s supply chain. This course builds on the concepts introduced in previous courses and offers more detail regarding supply chain strategies, operating practices, and principles. The course is designed to provide students with an understanding of the design, implementation, and broad management of the effective and efficient Integrated Supply Chain Systems, by solving real world industry issues using the A3 problem solving process.
The ISM program requires that all students take an experiential course. After mastering process management concepts and techniques (e.g., single minute exchange of dies, value stream mapping, value engineering, etc.), students gain experience by applying these concepts and techniques to an on-site industry process. Student teams create solutions for projects formulated by Dr. Sime Curkovic and industry partners, such as Stryker, Whirlpool, Kellogg, Eaton, Steelcase, Texas Instruments, Mann-Hummel, Eliason, Parker Hannifin, Bronson Hospital and Mercedes Benz Technology and then apply the solution to improve a company’s operations.
The collaboration with industry partners provides every ISM student with the unique opportunity to apply their in-class learning to the goals of influential and successful corporations, giving the students a professional work experience. The class has sponsored over 100 industry projects since 2008.

MGMT 410-0 (Multinational Management)/BUS 220-0 (Intro to Global Business – online section)
Course
Description: An examination of management strategy, controls, environmental influences of the multinational corporation with consideration of geographic factors. The management function abroad will be examined in light of the cultural assumptions underlying U.S. management and will deal with the necessary modification for effective operations in a cross-cultural environment.

The key purpose of this class is to describe changes that will affect international managers into the 21st century. The future holds plenty of promise for American companies in foreign markets – a promise that will require effective international management. What many people fail to realize, however, is that much of the growth in international business is in developing markets that are outside of traditional economic powerhouses like the U.S., the European Union, and Japan (these three regions are often referred to as the Business Triad).

BUS 475-0-0 (Strategic Business Solutions)
Course
Description: In this course, students identify strategic issues and opportunities facing organizations and develop effective solutions. Students consider and evaluate strategic business alternatives and their implications by focusing on the key business dimensions of information, operations, people, and technology. The successful strategist integrates these four dimensions, sees the organization as a whole, and proactively works to improve organizational performance. This course requires students to learn new concepts as well as integrate prior course work and professional experiences.

Students participate in a business simulation using ScrimmageSim, which is a new business simulation designed to operate just like a major ERP system (e.g., SAP, Oracle, PLEX, etc.). The students participate in both individual and group scenarios that required the integration of operations, sales and investment decisions (both strategic and operational) to maximize company profit.
