14. WHAT – are the strategic issues facing Best Buy? WHAT – is Best Buy’s strategic response? WHAT – capabilities are being deployed to enable the strategy? - Customer Centric Supply Chain The Transformation Agenda:
15. Our Customer Centric Supply Chain Strategy - Objectives Customer experience driven Best Buy will “ own the pipe ” through end-to-end integration from the consumer’s home back to the raw materials producers Work and cost will be pushed up the supply chain and away from the store, with floor-ready merchandise that enable stores to focus on serving the consumer A “one version of the truth” forecast will be developed that will migrate the business from a push model, to a pull model Speed and flexibility will be built into the supply chain to enable more “fashion” and “freshness” building attribute driven flows We will transform our supply chain at speed by collaborating and integrating with our partners, develop collaborative partnerships within and beyond our industry Leveraging our global partnerships to extend global reach 3 4 2 1 5 6 7
16. From To
    • Standard assortments
    • Push model
    • Unnecessary work in the stores
    • One size fits all
    • Multiple forecasts
    • Single channel
    • Reactive variability management
    • “ Voice of the store” tailored market assortments
    • Pull model –Locality demand
    • Push work back up the supply chain – sales floor ready
    • Tailored price and flowpath by store
    • One version of the truth forecasting - CPFR
    • Multi channel
    • Proactive variability management
    We needed to transform the supply chain for speed, efficiency and flexibility

19. The Best Buy RFID program has been shaped around customer centricity. Predominant Industry Focus Supply Chain Value Customer Value Best Buy Focus
20. RFID is already driving convenience for customers
    • “ On our roads with E-ZPass, saving time at toll stations ”
    “ By helping us keeping track of keys, mobile phones, laptops, pets and even our children” “ When we are in a hurry” “ To enjoy attractions without having to carry cash or credit cards”
21. Getting in the game with our case & pallet pilot
    • Suppliers place RFID tags on cartons and pallets
    • Suppliers send carton and pallet EPC information to BBY via Advanced Ship Notice (EDI ASN-856)
    • Pilot suppliers represent 80% of total shipment volume
    • All major product categories represented
    • EPC reads will be captured at RFID enabled dock doors.
    • Reporting will compare EPC reads to ASN and actual PO receiving.
    • EPC reads, read rate, tag, and ASN performance reporting will be shared with suppliers via portal
    Pilot runs in parallel with current processes for shipping, routing, receiving, packaging, labeling, and invoicing.
22. Our Customer Driven Vision for the Store Experience Receiving - RFID readers automatically confirm receipts and update store inventory as product is unloaded. Check-Out - Serialized EPC codes increase the speed and accuracy of customer checkout and returns processing. Down-Stocking - RFID-enabled “smart shelves” predict, identify, and report shelf stock levels to store employees. Shopping Assistance – Loyalty cards with embedded chips identify customers as they enter the store. Smart Signs - Data from RFID-enabled smart shelves correlate sales to store promotions and product information.
23. Our RFID Customer Experience Test at Best Buy
    • Retail Store Test – Video Games
    • Test Goals:
    • RFID technology readiness.
    • Gain retail insight into the operational benefits.
    • Results
    • Revenue lift = 18.7% increase
    • Number of Units sold = 14.1% increase
    • Margin = 10.8% increase
    • Store averaged 98.7% CIS (games in store, and customer facing)
    • Conclusions:
    • Item-level RFID improves retail processes
    • Technology solution needs to be more flexible, easier to maintain, and less expensive.
    Lower labor cost; increase customer encountered in stock
24. The road ahead…
    • Expand our pilot to more categories
    • Prove performance of Gen2 technology
    • Continue to provide leadership in the industry
    • Continue to explore innovative ways to use RFID driven data to improve the customer shopping experience
25. RFID – Could it be the greatest thing since….? The 1928 design for the first bread slicing machine

    2016: The Future Value Change, Gap Gemini The Future Value Chain Product flow Information flow Consumer Behavior
27. In light of future trends, collaboration across the end to end supply chain will be key to meeting the needs of our customers, employees and stakeholders . “ The potential value to be delivered by these trends will not occur on it’s own. Left to their own devices, companies may potentially act in isolation or in limited partnerships. The industry needs to work in a more collaborative fashion across the total value chain to deliver the cultural and infrastructure changes necessary to meet . . . consumers’ needs.” 2006 Global Commerce Initiative, Gap Gemini True ‘Transformation’ will happen when we collaborate Closing Thoughts
28. • The supply chain transformation has to begin at the end – which is with the customer
    • Your Supply Chain journey must be holistic
    • The transformation journey never ends – as long as your customers continue to change
    • Innovation is important but integration and collaboration are essential
