CHAPTER III: PRESUPPOSED And CONDITIONS FOR The REALIZATION OF A VIRTUAL WAREHOUSE

3.2.7 THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF THE WAREHOUSE

Between the delegable functions or areas in outsourcing they re-enter: the systems informed to you, the legal office, the human resources, the formation and advising, the internal audit, but above all the logistics and the warehouse.
The outsourcing of warehouse and the logistics, areas that play an essential role to the inside of the new economy, convene essentially for two reasons:

  1. The transformation of the costs from fixed to variable;
  2. The contemporary reduction of the supplyes and the increase of the availability of goodses; in particular in the within of the industrial districts or the rows when the goodses can be considered similar or sostituibili.
The analysis of the presupposed ones for the resource to the outsourcing of supplyings must hold in consideration some fundamental aspects, and that is:
  1. the reduction of the number of the suppliers;
  2. the tendency to replace the supplyes of warehouse with preciser information on the future productive necessities;
  3. the distinction between materials for which it convene to resort material and political local sourcing instead for which the resource to the global sourcing, that is the search of the supplier on the world-wide markets, seems preferibile.
In the resource to the exsternalization of the inner functions it is also necessary that the company the following currencies carefully factors that contribute to delineate the optimal characteristics of the provider to select:
  1. the ability to supply a qualitatively acceptable service;
  2. the price;
  3. the references and the reputation;
  4. the flexibility under the aspect of the contractual conditions;
  5. the amplitude of the fan of the services offers;
  6. the adaptability to the business culture of the customer, eventual previous collaborations and the location.
In terms of strategic analysis, the more favorable element, finalized to obtain a positive result, resides in the fact that the organizations see the outsourcing of warehouse, and the outsourcing in a generalized manner, like one instrument of organizational change.
Sure, the more important between the reasons of tactical character that they induce to resort to the outsourcing of warehouse is tied to the necessity to reduce or to hold under control the increase of the business fixed costs or, more in a generalized manner, of the costs operated to you.
The outsourcing of warehouse and the logistics revolts to outsourcing of single business functions or parts of they re-enter in the services.
Adding goes, finally, an ulterior "pure" distinction between outsourcing to supplying thirds party and other shapes, so to speak, spurie or modality alternatives, which outsourcing in joint-lucks with thirds party or scorporo of inner activities and the creation of controlled companies.

 

3.2.8 THE VARIABLE OF THE COSTS

The already present enterprises on the market are threatened, beyond that from the traditional competition, new entering, it facilitates to you from accessibility of the markets, from reperibili products and substitutive services on a become market wider, the increased one to be able contractual of the purchasers, that they decide of a greater possibility of choice, and the suppliers who enjoy markets of outlet theoretically without limits in order to reduce the dependency from the traditional customers.
Of it they achieve new challenges for the enterprises, forced to improve the ability to compete through the strengthening of the own economic and operating structure, the price cutting (and consequently also of the purchase budgets), the quality and functionality of the products.
The fixed cost reduction involves, on one side, the control of the total dimension of the companies, eliminating those structures (human resources and assets orchestrate them) that they are not directly in relation with Core business or the maintenance of the know how, and, from the other, the acquisition from the outside of the goods and services previously produced to the inside.
The organization model that derives some is that one of an organization snella of the goods and services previously produced to the inside and in which, of fact, the processes of business of the company come extended to the outside, rendered accessible from part of thirds party, and conditions in turns out to you to you from the performances of the suppliers.
