The days when we used to rent DVDs to watch our\u00a0favourite\u00a0movies and always ended up paying a hefty fine while returning. As Louis\u00a0L\u2019Amour\u00a0said, \u201cThe only thing that never changes is that everything changes.\u201d The phenomenal transition from the industrial era to the digital era has exponentially increased this pace of change. Now people get everything they want in their fingertips. We\u00a0no longer\u00a0wait in lines to book tickets, nor do we patiently read through encyclopedias to acquire knowledge and information. More importantly, we no longer meander meaninglessly when it comes to choosing our products and services.\u00a0\u00a0\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Earlier, people went to a coffee shop and ordered a hot coffee. Later came choices like cappuccino or espresso. Now, customers want\u00a0grande\u00a0nine shots, two pumps of mocha, nonfat, no whip, with five shakes of cinnamon stirred in. With more options available in the market, there is a visible change in consumer\u00a0behaviour. Now more than ever before, people know what they want precisely and go for it. Marketing has been altered dramatically with the introduction of consumer psychographics. It allowed corporates to understand their customers better. They could cater to their specific needs effectively, leading to a branch of marketing called\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/definition\/niche-marketing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Niche Marketing<\/a>.\u00a0The days when soda was just restricted to Coke and Pepsi are long gone by.\u00a0\u00a0 Now, it is PowerAde, Nestea, Minute Maid, Gatorade, Lipton and Tropicana sold by those two corporations apart from the former products\u00a0besides several other smaller competitors. Companies are compelled to diversify to satisfy their customers. As customer tastes become more discerning, companies rush to find innovative solutions. It applies to almost all industries. The giants are of no exception to this upcoming trend. iPhones still have a colossal market share, but lately, Apple has been facing harsh critique for the lack of innovation during the launch of their new products. The company has even lost some customers to recent entrants like OnePlus.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_61 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" >Inhaltsverzeichnis<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #000000;color:#000000\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #000000;color:#000000\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseprofile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/merlinsourcing.com\/de\/blog\/the-demise-of-pareto-rule-and-its-impact-on-sourcing\/#Dawn_of_e-Commerce\" title=\"Dawn of e-Commerce:\u00a0\">Dawn of e-Commerce:\u00a0<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/merlinsourcing.com\/de\/blog\/the-demise-of-pareto-rule-and-its-impact-on-sourcing\/#Pareto_Rule_in_Supply_Chain_%E2%80%AF\" title=\"Pareto Rule in Supply Chain:\u202f\u00a0\">Pareto Rule in Supply Chain:\u202f\u00a0<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/merlinsourcing.com\/de\/blog\/the-demise-of-pareto-rule-and-its-impact-on-sourcing\/#Sourcings_Vantage_Point\" title=\"Sourcing\u2019s Vantage Point:\u00a0\">Sourcing\u2019s Vantage Point:\u00a0<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-dawn-of-e-commerce\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dawn_of_e-Commerce\"><\/span><strong>Dawn of e-Commerce:<\/strong>\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The emergence of e-commerce transfigured the dynamics of global economics. E-commerce became the fertile ground for the growth of niche markets where companies can appeal to their customers through marketplaces like Amazon and streaming services like Netflix and Spotify. Consumers are not ready to wait, and they aren\u2019t willing to compromise on their buy. There is a \u2018need for more\u2019 culture rapidly traversing the world. Amazon is an e-commerce giant, considered to be one of the most customer-centric companies in the market. How is it possible for Amazon to be cost-effective and still satisfy its enormous customer base? This is possible due to their superior comprehension of their customers\u2019 needs and command across their supply chain.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The E-commerce industry underwent a revolutionary transformation in 2020 due to COVID-pandemic. The demand for products and services online exponentially increased. According to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/louiscolumbus\/2020\/04\/28\/how-covid-19-is-transforming-e-commerce\/?sh=251d27eb3544\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a Forbes report<\/a>,\u00a0there was a 129% YoY growth in US and Canadian markets as of April 21, 2020, with online conversion rate increased by 8.8% by February 2020. Once the consumers experience the benefits of e-commerce, they rarely return to their initial platforms. One of the main advantages of an e-commerce platform\u00a0from\u00a0customer\u00a0retention perspective\u00a0is the array of diverse products available that would quench the thirst of buyers.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pareto-rule-in-supply-chain\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pareto_Rule_in_Supply_Chain_%E2%80%AF\"><\/span><strong>Pareto Rule in Supply Chain:\u202f<\/strong>\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>There is rapid diversification of products and reduced product life cycle as customers demand more, better and unique products. Now customers require everything to be swift and easy to acquire. It has led to multi-channel and more efficient distribution of products. Companies are yet to realize that the conventional supply chain mechanism isn\u2019t effective anymore.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>According to Pareto rule, companies made 80% revenue from 20% of their products and 20% revenue from 80% of their products. It led to ABC classification of the inventory which states that around 70-80% of the value is in 10-15% of units as A, 5-10% of value in 50-60% of units as C and the remaining 10-15% of value in 20-30% of units as B. The B &amp; C inventories form the long tail of the supply chain. This long tail has become more complex and thicker. With increased demands for niche products, the value of B &amp; C SKUs has significantly increased.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>According to\u00a0a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.toolsgroup.com\/blog\/the-long-tail-of-the-supply-chain-part-2-pareto-is-dead\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">report from Tools\u00a0Group North America<\/a>,\u00a0food &amp; beverages companies make around 36% of revenue from their tail, electronics industry make 44% revenue in tail and e-Retailers make a whopping 79% of revenue from their tail. Many companies have not prepared their supply chain for this evolving realm of business. It erodes the profit margin and reduces their market penetration. Companies are focusing on perfecting the demand forecasting to help them plan their course of action. They need to realize that no more can they figure out the 20% of products that matter\u00a0most\u00a0to their revenue. They should equip their supply chain with the right strategy and technology to sustain in this ever-changing world, like how Amazon does.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"230\" class=\"wp-image-6253\" src=\"https:\/\/merlinsourcing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Infographic-2-Pareto.png\" alt=\"Pareto rule in supply chain\" srcset=\"https:\/\/merlinsourcing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Infographic-2-Pareto.png 650w, https:\/\/merlinsourcing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Infographic-2-Pareto-300x106.png 300w, https:\/\/merlinsourcing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Infographic-2-Pareto-16x6.png 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption>Fig 1:\u00a0<strong>Altered long tail in supply chain or Widened Long tail in supply chain<\/strong>\u00a0<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sourcing-s-vantage-point\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sourcings_Vantage_Point\"><\/span><strong>Sourcing\u2019s Vantage Point:<\/strong>\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u2018Buckle up your bootstraps!\u2019 \u2018Gather your battalion!\u2019 Companies have to transform their supply chain from the start to end. They have to\u00a0mobilize\u00a0their battalion at the starting point of the supply chain by implementing\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/merlinsourcing.com\/de\/bring-strategy-into-your-sourcing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">strategic sourcing<\/a>\u00a0in supply chain management. They have to orient their procurement strategy to\u00a0mould\u00a0their supply chain, not just efficiently but also to become market-responsive. There was a well-demarcated\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lean-manufacturing-japan.com\/scm-terminology\/push-pull-manufacturing.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">push-pull boundary<\/a>\u00a0differentiating push strategy in the beginning processes of the supply chain followed by pull strategy. This principle cannot be blindly followed anymore, as the demand has become uncertain with shorter shelf-life and customized products available in the market. Now, companies have to develop a pull strategy throughout the supply chain starting\u00a0right\u00a0from sourcing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"230\" class=\"wp-image-6254\" src=\"https:\/\/merlinsourcing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Infographic1-Pareto.png\" alt=\"Push-Pull strategy across Supply Chain\" srcset=\"https:\/\/merlinsourcing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Infographic1-Pareto.png 650w, https:\/\/merlinsourcing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Infographic1-Pareto-300x106.png 300w, https:\/\/merlinsourcing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Infographic1-Pareto-16x6.png 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption>Fig 2:\u00a0<strong>Push-Pull strategy across Supply Chain<\/strong>\u00a0<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>To adapt\u00a0to\u00a0this\u00a0expanding\u00a0long-tail, a company must reduce its production time. It can be made possible with component commonality and delayed differentiation in the product design. The procurement team has to identify the common components in the manufacturing of various products of the company. It reduces the risk of uncertainty due to the demand pooling of several products. It gives companies an edge to develop multiple products from generic raw materials. Dell is\u00a0one of\u00a0the best examples\u00a0to demonstrate delayed differentiation where they outsource several components and assemble the product once the customer orders. It allows Dell to customize their PCs and decrease the production period. It increases market penetration and product diversification.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Companies have to alter their sourcing process to follow the pull strategy. Certain key aspects of procurement that companies should focus, to become more market responsive are:\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-supplier-selection-criteria\"><strong>Supplier Selection Criteria:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h5>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Initially, the two main criteria would be cost and quality in selecting the supplier. With this altered long-tail, companies\u00a0need\u00a0to focus on contracting with suppliers who are\u00a0agile, flexible and provide quality products on an as-needed basis.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-category-management\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-primary-color\"><strong>Category Management:<\/strong>\u202f\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This allows organizations to segment their spend into parts that contain similar or related products. It enables companies to focus on opportunities for consolidation and help them to implement component commonality strategy in the sourcing.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-supplier-diversification\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-primary-color\"><strong>Supplier Diversification:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Larger supplier base would be required in the pull strategy, unlike the push. It would reduce the risk associated with supply and also increase the negotiating power of the company.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-supplier-relationship-management\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-primary-color\"><strong>Supplier Relationship Management:<\/strong>\u202f\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Companies must have good rapport with their suppliers. It would establish a clear communication channel and ensure stability in the procurement process.\u00a0Suppliers perform better if they get better visibility of what is coming\u00a0down the line.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-spend-analytics\"><strong>Spend Analytics:<\/strong>\u202f<span class=\"has-inline-color has-primary-color\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Companies have to\u00a0keep an eye on spend\u00a0of both direct and indirect procurement.

To be cost-effective, they have to track and analyze\u00a0their\u00a0spend regularly.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In this digital era, companies would require procurement software that would help them adapt to this new normalcy.
