Timothy L. Baker, CPA, CITP, CMA

Learning Objectives1. Define process integration, and explain why this concept

is fundamental to modern business operations.2. Explain how the procurement, fulfillment, and IWM

processes interact when a company fills a customer order for trading goods.

3. Indentify and discuss the various integration points among the procurement, fulfillment, production, and warehouse management processes.

4. Analyze the financial and material impacts of the various steps in the integrated processes.

Background• Thus far the book has covered the following key

processes:– Financial accounting– Procurement– Fulfillment– Production– Inventory and warehouse management– Material planning

• Each of these processes has triggers, data, tasks, and outcomes

Background• Chapter 1 introduced the concept of

process integration– Various processes are interdependent– Steps in one process frequently impact steps in

other processes• This chapter approaches the same

processes discussed in the previous chapters but from an integrative perspective.

Integrated Business Processes

Background

• Production strategies– Make-to-stock– Make-to-order

• Procurement strategy– Procure-to-stock– Procure-to-order

• Fulfillment strategy– Sell-from-stock

Background• Make-to-stock, procure-to-stock, and sell-from-stock

strategies use inventory as a buffer between processes to de-couple them or make them less dependent on one another.

• To illustrate integration among processes, the scenarios will no longer assume that there is a sufficient inventory of raw materials for production or of finished goods for fulfillment.

• The discussion will focus on the make-to-order and procure-to-order strategies.

Background

• Two scenarios are presented– Scenario one - Filling a customer order for

trading goods• Procurement, fulfillment, IWM

– Scenario two – Filling a customer order for finished goods

• Procurement, fulfillment, production, IWM

Procurement, Fulfillment, and IWM Processes• Rocky Mountain Bikes (RMB), a GBI customer, has

ordered 800 t-shirts (SHRT1000) from GBI • GBI will ship the t-shirts from its San Diego plant,

which is warehouse management enabled• Assumptions

– The San Diego plant has 200 t-shirts in stock valued at a moving average price of $15.43 each

– The Miami plant has 1,500 t-shirts in stock valued at a moving average price of $15.25 each

– GBI can purchase t-shirts from Spy Gear at $14.95 each

Procurement, Fulfillment, and IWM Processes

• Assumptions (continued)– RMB has sent GBI a purchase order (PO) for

800 t-shirts– GBI sells t-shirts for $30 each

Procurement, Fulfillment, Production, and IWM Processes

• Rocky Mountain Bikes (RMB) has ordered 40 Red Deluxe Touring Bikes (DXTR3000) from GBI.

• Assumptions– The San Diego plant has 10 Red Deluxe Touring Bikes valued at a standard

price of $1,400 each.– The Dallas plant currently does not have any touring bikes in inventory.

• When it does have these bikes, the standard price is also $1,400.– The Dallas plant has 200 aluminum wheel assemblies that are needed to

produce touring bikes.• The standard price for these wheel assemblies is $110.

Procurement, Fulfillment, Production, and IWM Processes

• Assumptions (continued)– GBI’s vendor -- Space Bike Composites -- is able to supply all

of the raw materials needed to make touring bikes.– GBI purchases raw materials in lot sizes of 200. It produces

bikes in lot sizes of 50.– RMB has sent GBI a purchase order for 40 Red Deluxe Touring

Bikes.– GBI sells these bikes for $2,800 each.– Bikes are produced in Dallas and shipped to San Diego via STO
