management strategy
Overview of customer relationship management
3-3
• From perspective of the total supply chain – End user of product in consumer market – Company is customer in business market
• From perspective of specific firm within a supply chain
– Intermediate customer organizations exist between the firm and end users
• From perspective of a logistics manager – Any delivery location
• For example, consumer home’s, retail / wholesale businesses, receiving docks of manufacturing plants and warehouses
Who is the customer?
3-4
• Customer needs and requirements are more basic than products and services
• Different customers have different needs and requirements
• Products and services become meaningful only when available and positioned from the customer’s perspective
• Profit is more important than sales volume
Basic principles of the marketing concept
3-5
Transactional vs. Relationship Marketing
Transactional marketing is a traditional strategy with a focus on creating successful individual transactions between the company and its customers
Relationship marketing is a new strategy with a focus on the development of long-term relations with key supply chain participants in an effort to develop and retain long-term preference and loyalty
3-6
• Micromarketing or one-to-one marketing recognizes that each individual customer may indeed have unique requirements – For example, Wal*Mart and Target are both mass merchandisers
• However, their requirements to interact logistically with suppliers differs significantly
Relationship marketing to a segment of one
• One-to-one relationships can – Significantly reduce transaction costs – Better accommodate customer
requirements – Move individual customer transactions
into a matter of routine
3-7
• Discrepancy in space refers to the fact that the location of production activities and location of consumption are seldom the same
• Discrepancy in time refers to the difference in timing between production and consumption
• Discrepancy in quantity and assortment refers to the mismatch between customer demand and manufacturing supply – Customers seek small quantities and wide assortment – Firms specialize in large quantities of a limited assortment
3 discrepancies must be overcome to enable exchange of goods and services
3-8
Four generic supply chain service outputs eliminate discrepancies
• Spatial convenience is the amount of shopping time and effort will be required on the part of the customer
• Lot size is the number of units to be purchased in each transaction
• Waiting time is the amount of time the customer must wait between ordering and receiving products
• Product variety and assortment differs by supply chain – Supermarkets may have over 35,000 items on the shelves – Warehouse stores generally stock 8,000 to 10,000 items with only one
brand and size of an item – Convenience stores may stock only a few hundred items
3-9
• Supply chains provide a mix of services, both generic and custom, in order to accommodate a range of customer requirements
• Each service mix can be configured to achieve one of the following levels of customer accommodation – Customer service – Customer satisfaction – Customer success
Three levels of customer accommodation
3-10
• With the right amount • Of the right product • At the right time • And the right place • In the right condition • At the right price • With the right information
Basic customer service provides customers
3-11
Basic elements of customer service
• Availability – Fill rates – Stockout frequency – Orders shipped complete
• Operational Performance – Speed – Consistency – Flexibility – Malfunction recovery
• Service Reliability – Damage free – Error-free invoices – Shipment matches order – Shipped to correct location – Etc.
3-12
• Fill rate measures the magnitude or impact of stockouts over time
• Stockout occurs when a firm has no product available to fulfill customer demand
• Orders shipped complete requires shipping everything that a customer orders to count as a complete shipment
Availability is the capacity to have inventory when desired by a customer
3-13
• Speed of the performance cycle is the elapsed time from when a customer established a need to order until the product is delivered
• Consistency of the order cycle is measured by the number of times that actual cycles meet the time planned for completion
• Flexibility is a firm’s ability to accommodate special situations and unusual or unexpected customer requests
• Malfunction recovery is a firm’s ability to quickly implement contingency plans when a failure occurs in the supply chain
Operational performance deals with the time required to deliver a customer’s order
3-14
• Service reliability involves a combination of logistics attributes beyond simply availability and operational performance. For example: – Damage free measures how many shipments arrive without
damaged products – Error-free invoices measures what percentage of invoices
contain no errors – Shipment matches order measures how many shipments
contain the exact amount of product ordered – Shipped to correct location measures how many shipments are
made to the customer’s selected location • Plus a capability and willingness to provide customers with
accurate information regarding operations and order status
Service reliability is a firm’s ability to perform all order-related activities and provide critical info
3-15
• The perfect order is an order that is – Delivered complete – Delivered on time – Delivered at the right location – Delivered in perfect condition – Delivered with complete and accurate documentation
• This requires the total order cycle performance to be executed with zero defects
The perfect order is the ultimate in logistics service levels
+ + +
3-16
Example of zero-defect performance measurement
• Consider an order cycle that achieves the following performance levels for shipments
– 97% delivered complete – 97% delivered on time – 97% delivered in perfect condition – 97% delivered with correct
documentation • Probability that any order will be
delivered with no defects is only 88.5%
– P (zero defects) = .97 x .97 x .97 x .97 = .885
Therefore, the probability that any order has a problem is 11.5%
What resources are needed to achieve a zero-defect level?
3-17
The basic service platform is a commitment to perform each basic element at a given level
• Availability level = Medium • Operational performance = High • Service reliability = Above average
• Availability level = Low • Operational performance = Medium • Service reliability = Average
Service platform for customer A Service platform for customer B

3-18
• Many firms establish their basic service platforms using two factors – Competitor or industry acceptable practice
• Minimum and average service performance levels have emerged in most industries
– The firm’s overall marketing strategy • High service levels needed to compete on basis of
logistics competency • Low service levels are more common when
competing on the basis of price • Zero-defect approach is not taken across the
board for all customers • Establish internal performance standards for
each service component to reflect industry practice, cost and resource requirements
How much basic service should the supply chain provide?
3-19
• Expectancy disconfirmation states if a customer’s expectations of a supplier’s performance are met or exceeded, the customer will be satisfied – If Perceived Performance > =
Expectations, then Satisfaction – If Perceived Performance <
Expectations, then Dissatisfaction
What is customer satisfaction?
“Customers will be satisfied if a supplier meets or exceeds the customer’s expectations”
3-20
Customer expectations related to logistical performance from Table 3.2
• Reliability • Responsiveness • Access • Communication • Credibility
• Security • Courtesy • Competency • Tangibles • Knowing the customer
3-21
How are customer expectations created?
Figure 3.1 Satisfaction and Quality Model
3-22
The model identifies gaps managers must fill to help satisfy their customers
• Gap 1: Knowledge – Reflects management’s lack of
knowledge or understanding of customers
• Gap 2: Standards – Exists when internal performance
standards do not adequately reflect customer expectations
• Gap 3: Performance – The difference between standard
and actual performance
• Gap 4: Communications – Overcommitment or promising
higher levels of performance than can actually be provided
• Gap 5: Perception – Customers sometimes perceive
performance to be higher or lower than actually achieved
• Gap 6: Satisfaction/Quality – When one or more gap exists
customer perception is that performance does not meet expectations
3-23
• Performance that meets customer expectations one year may result in extreme dissatisfaction next year
• Competition in an industry will often raise the minimum standards that customer expect – For example, Federal Express
introduced real-time tracking of shipment status
• In response UPS and other parcel delivery firms added this service to their platform
Increasing customer expectations
3-24
• Satisfied customers may not be happy with the supplier’s performance – Customer satisfaction focuses on
expectations - not customer’s real requirements
• Considerable research suggests that “satisfied” customers still are likely to defect
Why customer satisfaction is not sufficient
• What satisfies one customer may not satisfy other, much less all, customers – There is a tendency by
companies to treat all customers as being equal and identical
3-25
Low expectations always result in satisfied customers
Figure 3.2 Satisfaction Is Not the Same as Happiness
But what if customer requirements are not met?
3-26
Level 3 Focus • Assess customer requirements • Extend supply chain to include our customer’s customer • Provide value-added services for select customers • Manage performance cycles and levels to address needs of
each customer segment in the extended supply chain
Level 2 Focus • Assess customer perceptions of satisfaction • Manage performance cycle levels to keep customers
satisfied
Level 1 Focus • Assess industry and competitor practices • Achieve internal standards for performance cycles
Customer Satisfaction
Customer Service
Customer Success
3 levels of customer focus
3-27
• Not all customers have the same requirements
• Know your customers’ processes • Determine how your capabilities
can enhance your customers’ performance
• Extend the supply chain boundaries to include next-destination customer requirements
• Introduce new performance metrics
• Develop value-added services for select customers
Achieving customer success requires knowledge of individual customer requirements
3-28
Customer success requires a comprehensive supply chain perspective
Figure 3.3 Moving Towards Customer Success
3-29
• Value-added services refer to unique or specific activities that firms can jointly develop to enhance their efficiency, effectiveness and relevancy
• Transportation carriers, warehouse firms and other specialists may become intimately involved to make value-adding activities a reality
• For example, a retail customer may desire a unique palletization alternative to support its cross-dock activities for its individual stores – Each store requires different quantities of specific product to
maintain in-stock performance with minimum inventory
Value-added services are a first step in achieving customer success
3-30
• Basic principle of supply chain logistics is that customers should be segmented based on their service needs
• Supply chain must adapt to serve those segments
• Companies need – A framework for choosing the
appropriate customer specific strategies
– Programs for customer relationship management
Developing a customer accommodation strategy

• Customer relationship management (CRM) is a process for improving the overall performance of a business by better understanding and anticipating the wants and needs of customers – In practice companies and vendors use the term CRM to mean
different things • One CRM example – Procter & Gamble has employees
who live and work in the city of its largest customer Wal*Mart
• Logistics has primary responsibility for many of the processes that drive value and customer success
Customer relationship management has grown rapidly in recent years
