Amazon’s Supply Chain: Acting Outside the Box I probably don’t need to tell you that Amazon is a
Master of Supply Chain innovation, what with its passionate commitment to implementing drones
in the future, the use of robots and advanced automation in its distribution centres, and the
enterprise’s excursion into Uber-style logistics services. In fact, it seems there are almost no home-
delivery markets the former online book-store won’t try to corner, and no method it won’t try in
order to do so. So diverse is Amazon’s range of fulfillment services in fact, that it’s becoming hard
to tell if the company is a retailer or a thirdparty logistics provider. Indeed, if a warehouse is a box,
Amazon is fully prepared to take its operation inside the boxes of other companies, especially if
those companies are Amazon’s suppliers.Boxes Within Boxes Innovation is the key to supply chain
excellence, and it’s something which sits at the very top of the Amazon business agenda. For
example, one of the online-retail empire’s latest moves has been right into the warehouses of
consumer goods suppliers such as Proctor and Gamble.While it’s not uncommon to hear of
vendors co-locating with customers, Amazon is reversing the practice and operating under its
vendors’ roofs. The operation works as follows: the supplier picks products according to purchase
orders from Amazon, and then moves the pallets into Amazon’s fenced-off area of the warehouse.
Here, a team of Amazon employees sorts the products into outbound orders, packages them, and
dispatches them to its customers.The aptly named “Vendor Flex” program also creates a win-win
situation for Amazon and its supplier. Amazon doesn’t need to take up space in its own fulfillment
centres with bulky items such as diapers and tissue paper, and P&G can supply Amazon without
the expense of overthe-road transportation—the goods only move from one area of P&G’s
warehouse to another.The Incredible Value of CrumbsSo, what can we learn from the example of
Vendor Flex by Amazon? How about the fact that innovational concepts don’t have to be overly
complicated in order to be brilliant? By taking an established concept (vendor-managed inventory)
and turning it on its head, Amazon is making its entry into a new market less expensive and more
practicable than it would otherwise be.As a final takeaway from Amazon’s supply chain mastery,
consider this: The company is selling consumer staples; commodities for which online demand is
actually very low. Few consumers are currently attracted to online purchases of household
consumables.So why is Amazon going to the trouble of picking up crumbs in this particular
market? Here’s the reason … even though American shoppers buy only 2% of their consumer
staples online, that tiny portion of volume amounts to somewhere around $20 billion. Sometimes
then, leveraging your supply chain to pick up small slivers of business can be a way to boost
revenue considerably—especially if those small slivers are in big markets.4 Best-in-Class Supply
