Where were we?

No consistent forecasting and planning process Different planning processes for different product
lines

No consensus forecast or plan Limited coordination/communication between


Sales, Marketing, and Supply Chain

Multiple, independent supply chain networks Non-optimized supply chain design and operation Supply chain does not extend to business partners

How did we get there?

Marketing driven, sales focus Pennzoil merged with Quaker State Company in 1998 and Shell acquired Pennzoil Quaker State in 2002

Lubricants Similar product production, distribution models Resulted in excess capacity, duplicate network components Consumer Products Pennzoil supplied automotive chemicals (Gumout) Quaker State owned several independently run business units supplying automotive consumer products

Where are we going?

Common planning processes for all business


units

Single, integrated and optimized supply chain


across all product lines

Supply chain is a strategic weapon

SAP APO Network Design Overview

APO Network Design Overview

Flexibility in modeling a supply network

Ability to use an existing SNP model as a starting point

Can include one-time opening and closing costs and various capacity constraints

Detail reporting capabilities & Easy to interpret reporting and user interface

Fast optimization

Solving Strategic Planning Problems

Which products should be


produced at what location?

How are customers assigned


to distribution centers?

Where shall new locations be


opened?

Which locations shall be


closed?

What are capacity


requirements for Plant/distribution centers ?
