You must act as if it is impossible to fail.
Do not let what you cannot do,
tear from your hands what you can.
~ Ashanti Proverb

Why all the hype?
• The existing population of 1 billion is set to double by 2050
• Consumer spending is expected to hit $1.4 trillion dollars by 2020
• Africa’s economic growth is projected to accelerate from 4.5% in
2013 to 5.2% in 2015.
However……
Each additional day it takes to get
a consignment to its destination,
in Africa, is equivalent to approx.
1.5% additional tax.
Africa tomorrow……..

Opportunity and risks vary widely
African markets are diverse and fragmented
Note: A composite risk
index is indicated on a
colour spectrum from
green (relatively more
positive) to red
(relatively less
positive).
A fact-based approach to selecting and
prioritizing markets in Africa is critical.

Size, scale and diversity makes Africa inherently
complex
Source: Kai Krause
The sheer size and complexity of the
continent, combined with the relative
underdevelopment of many of its
markets, makes Africa an inherently
challenging place to do business.
► Land mass greater than USA, Europe,
China and India combined
► Vast geography, with 54 different markets
► More than 2,000 languages and diverse
cultural dynamics
► Few individual markets provide scale to
be commercially attractive in themselves
(in the short term)
► Inadequate infrastructure in many
markets
► People/talent shortage
Page 5
Although pattern of growth are evident
Africa follows the typical growth and org. development path
Establish competitive
position; grow, defend
and unlock potential;
optimize performance
and returns.
Page 6
Polling Question
What is the greatest challenge that your company
faces in Africa?
A. Logistics
B. Lack of infrastructure
C. Lack of transparency in government
D. Complex direct and indirect tax regimes
E. All of the above

Network design
Incorporating:
► Strategic, operational and tax
criteria
► Integrated sea & road freight
design
► Adaptable to rapid Africa region
sales growth
► Pan Africa & Sub Region
planning
► Inbuilt flexibility and resilience ,
e.g. addressing physical, product
& route to market differences
Internal collaboration
Including:
► Cross site/ sub-region
asset sharing
► Strengthened role of
logistics in sub-regional/
regional S&OP alongside
manufacturing, finance and
commercial functions
External collaboration
Incorporating:
► 3PL/ shipping lines
integration
► (organisation, process
& IT)
► Single sourced/ 4PL
logistics
providers
► Shared risk & reward
pricing
Organisation
► Building regional/ sub-regional
level logistics CoE,
management, supplier
contracting & performance
management
Systems, processes & ways of
working
► Creating a single set of planning
and execution processes to
reduce complexity, maximize
service consistency, instil a
common language
Establishing Supply Chains in Africa has challenges
There are however a number of enablers to assist
Page 8
► Operating Model choices create sustainable competitive advantage
► They serve as platform to be able to better
► Manage cost and margin
► Optimize working capital and return on capital
► Improve operational excellence
► Imply a company’s transaction model while taking complex direct & indirect tax obligations and
optimization
► An operating model encompasses the end to end value chain including Intellectual Property
management, brand & product management, sales & marketing, channels, distribution,
treasury, risk management & finance
► International companies are finding they need help shaping their operating model in a
holistic way incl. organization & performance management, processes, physical & financial
transaction flows, legal structure, IT systems
Why an integrated OM and not simply an integrated SC?

Integrated Supply Chain Operating Model
A holistic, approach is generally required to improve supply chain performance
Page 12
Layers of an ISCOM
Integrated operating supply chain model (ISCOM) design
principles
Key Design Principles
• The design is driven by business strategy,
agreed design principles and business case
• The design is holistic and consider all layers
• Changes in one layer are reflected in other
layers
• Governance drives performance and desired
behaviors
• Supply chain network configuration considers
total delivered cost, inventory taxes and lead
time
• Processes are end to end and cross functional
to avoid silo/ functional/ geographical bias
• Location choice balances operational, skill and
substance requirements
• The operational and tax models are aligned
• IT drives implementation plan and cost
• Centralized shared services are considered in
the design

Strategic direction
• Significant growth
• Expansion into new markets
• New channels
Exceptional cost in selected markets (supply chain
process effectiveness gaps will contribute to this)
Approximately £20m - £27m when extrapolated over continent
Reason Loss in £m Year 1
Air freight (RSA) 0.12
Product write-offs (Ke, Ni and
RSA)
4.30
Write off RM/PM etc. (Kenya) 1.13
Demurrage (Ni) 3.30
Total : £8.8m
Operational issues
• Severe delays in raw material and finished product
deliveries driving service failures, stock-outs and
returns
• Inability to manage demand and supply volatility
resulting in large stock buffers, working capital
requirements and obsolescence
• High exceptional costs due to inability to respond
quickly to short term competitive moves, price changes
and longer

Processes
Fixing processes alone rarely delivers a performance step change
Page 17
Integrated supply chain operating model example
• Improved decision making across:
• Multiple supply points and markets
• End to end supply chain
• Broken processes may be fixed by:
• Clarifying roles and responsibilities
• Identifying and leveraging
experience and capability
• Training
• Talent management
• However, this may not be
sustainable
• Turbo charge process
improvement through:
• Resource sharing
• Co location
• Africa wide visibility and capability, e.g.
• Supply and demand balancing
• Spend aggregation and supplier rationalisation
Scale
Skill
Standardisation
Development
• Common processes, roles , governance and

African Regional Management Hubs often exist providing some level of oversight and support
services
• Strategic direction with budget and forecast approval
• Risk management, financial and control frameworks with IT/ERP systems standardization
and support
• Sales and marketing, new product development and innovation leadership
• Sourcing, procurement, technical/ manufacturing, supply chain and logistic support services
Above-Market
Management Hub
Market Sales and

• In Africa, focussing on what can be done to elevate part or all of the core supply chain functionality and accountability above
market is typically a key source of significant incremental operational benefit
• Shared services and BPO are often helpful enablers too
Goods flow
Typical service model
• Market operates
independently
• Hub provides
support services
across a range of
functions
• Hub charges market
for services
• Limited leverage of
skill and scale

With growth,
complexity, and
resource shortages,
the question
becomes, “How best
to leverage skill and
scale?”

Integrated supply chain operating model example
Standing still is normally not an option
Groups often have existing structures in place that need to evolve
Page 21
• Supply chain functions generate significant value for multinational businesses
• Creating an “above market” supply chain organisation results in supply chain value being
generated by both the “above market” and “in market” organisations
Above-Market
Supply Chain Hub
Market Sales and
Supply
SuppliersCustomers
• A complex web of regulations and tax legislation applies – it needs to be understood when changing a supply chain operating model
• “Above market” and “in market” tax authorities want to secure their “fair share” of supply chain value to tax it in their country
• Functions performed, assets employed, and risks borne by a supply chain function, and the physical locations of its people, assets and
legal entities, impact a territory’s entitlement to a “fair share” of that value
• Cross border transactions have income tax, transfer pricing, withholding tax, customs and VAT implications

Driven by ATAF’s focus on transfer
pricing, there has been an almost 100%
increase in growth in transfer pricing
regulation, within 3 years.
Countries in Africa have placed a greater
emphasis on arm’s length compliance
regarding cross-border transactions

Operating models for Africa

  • 2. Operating models for Africa 1 2 Integrated supply chain operating model Putting theory to practice: A practical example Julian Tasker Director, EMEIA Supply Chain Strategy Wayne Whiffler Executive Director, Africa Supply Chain Transformation Page 1
  • 3. You must act as if it is impossible to fail. Do not let what you cannot do, tear from your hands what you can. ~ Ashanti Proverb Page 2
  • 4. Why all the hype? • The existing population of 1 billion is set to double by 2050 • Consumer spending is expected to hit $1.4 trillion dollars by 2020 • Africa’s economic growth is projected to accelerate from 4.5% in 2013 to 5.2% in 2015. However…… Each additional day it takes to get a consignment to its destination, in Africa, is equivalent to approx. 1.5% additional tax. Africa tomorrow…….. Page 3
  • 5. Opportunity and risks vary widely African markets are diverse and fragmented Note: A composite risk index is indicated on a colour spectrum from green (relatively more positive) to red (relatively less positive). A fact-based approach to selecting and prioritizing markets in Africa is critical. Source: World Bank; Transparency International; WEF Competitiveness Index; EY Growing Beyond Borders Page 4
  • 6. Size, scale and diversity makes Africa inherently complex Source: Kai Krause The sheer size and complexity of the continent, combined with the relative underdevelopment of many of its markets, makes Africa an inherently challenging place to do business. ► Land mass greater than USA, Europe, China and India combined ► Vast geography, with 54 different markets ► More than 2,000 languages and diverse cultural dynamics ► Few individual markets provide scale to be commercially attractive in themselves (in the short term) ► Inadequate infrastructure in many markets ► People/talent shortage Page 5
  • 7. Although pattern of growth are evident Africa follows the typical growth and org. development path Establish competitive position; grow, defend and unlock potential; optimize performance and returns. Page 6
  • 8. Polling Question What is the greatest challenge that your company faces in Africa? A. Logistics B. Lack of infrastructure C. Lack of transparency in government D. Complex direct and indirect tax regimes E. All of the above Page 7
  • 9. Network design Incorporating: ► Strategic, operational and tax criteria ► Integrated sea & road freight design ► Adaptable to rapid Africa region sales growth ► Pan Africa & Sub Region planning ► Inbuilt flexibility and resilience , e.g. addressing physical, product & route to market differences Internal collaboration Including: ► Cross site/ sub-region asset sharing ► Strengthened role of logistics in sub-regional/ regional S&OP alongside manufacturing, finance and commercial functions External collaboration Incorporating: ► 3PL/ shipping lines integration ► (organisation, process & IT) ► Single sourced/ 4PL logistics providers ► Shared risk & reward pricing Organisation ► Building regional/ sub-regional level logistics CoE, management, supplier contracting & performance management Systems, processes & ways of working ► Creating a single set of planning and execution processes to reduce complexity, maximize service consistency, instil a common language Establishing Supply Chains in Africa has challenges There are however a number of enablers to assist Page 8
  • 10. ► Operating Model choices create sustainable competitive advantage ► They serve as platform to be able to better ► Manage cost and margin ► Optimize working capital and return on capital ► Improve operational excellence ► Imply a company’s transaction model while taking complex direct & indirect tax obligations and optimization ► An operating model encompasses the end to end value chain including Intellectual Property management, brand & product management, sales & marketing, channels, distribution, treasury, risk management & finance ► International companies are finding they need help shaping their operating model in a holistic way incl. organization & performance management, processes, physical & financial transaction flows, legal structure, IT systems Why an integrated OM and not simply an integrated SC? Page 9
  • 11. Business Model Operating Model How and where you organise your people, organisation, processes, transactions, technology, assets and IP deliver the Business Model ‘the idea’ How will you make money? “….in a globalised world, companies compete OM v.s. OM” Page 10

  • 14. Layers of an ISCOM Integrated operating supply chain model (ISCOM) design principles Key Design Principles • The design is driven by business strategy, agreed design principles and business case • The design is holistic and consider all layers • Changes in one layer are reflected in other layers • Governance drives performance and desired behaviors • Supply chain network configuration considers total delivered cost, inventory taxes and lead time • Processes are end to end and cross functional to avoid silo/ functional/ geographical bias • Location choice balances operational, skill and substance requirements • The operational and tax models are aligned • IT drives implementation plan and cost • Centralized shared services are considered in the design Supply chain network, distributionand indirect tax 2 Processes3 Functional, e.g. Governance KPIs and performance Mang.

  • 17. Integrated supply chain operating model example Page 5 Strategic direction • Significant growth • Expansion into new markets • New channels Exceptional cost in selected markets (supply chain process effectiveness gaps will contribute to this) Approximately £20m - £27m when extrapolated over continent Reason Loss in £m Year 1 Air freight (RSA) 0.12 Product write-offs (Ke, Ni and RSA) 4.30 Write off RM/PM etc. (Kenya) 1.13 Demurrage (Ni) 3.30 Total : £8.8m Operational issues • Severe delays in raw material and finished product deliveries driving service failures, stock-outs and returns • Inability to manage demand and supply volatility resulting in large stock buffers, working capital requirements and obsolescence • High exceptional costs due to inability to respond quickly to short term competitive moves, price changes and longer Context Typical African operating environment and issues Page 16

Functional Plan Source Make Move (includes Return) Transactional Purchase to pay Record to Report Order to Cash Planning and inventory management • Local/ regional and demand planning/ supply planning/ S&OP integration • Plan numbers and parameters • New product development participants and data Customer replenishment and logistics • Reliability • Manual and disconnected processes • Returns integration Distributor management • Stock mix • VMI • Credit management Manufacturing • Conformance • Reliability • Scrap/ defect % Procurement • Lead times • Reliability • Quality Suppliers Company Plant DC Depots Distributors Consumers Raw materials and packaging Customers • Manual activities prone to error (forecasting, budgeting, supply planning, master data) • Poor culture of discipline and control • Poor organisational memory – process falls over when people move role • Key inputs missing or steps not performed adequately • Lack of end-to-end process ownership • Functional silos with poor communication • Skill/ capability shortage Integrated supply chain operating model example Process issues Findings Processes Fixing processes alone rarely delivers a performance step change Page 17
  • 19. Integrated supply chain operating model example • Improved decision making across: • Multiple supply points and markets • End to end supply chain • Broken processes may be fixed by: • Clarifying roles and responsibilities • Identifying and leveraging experience and capability • Training • Talent management • However, this may not be sustainable • Turbo charge process improvement through: • Resource sharing • Co location • Africa wide visibility and capability, e.g. • Supply and demand balancing • Spend aggregation and supplier rationalisation Scale Skill Standardisation Development • Common processes, roles , governance and technology • Complexity reduction • Shared best practices • Centres of excellence • Common vision, roadmap and language • Talent management Example resource sharing and co-location benefits Location + organisation Training Talent management Roles and responsibilities Experience and capability Organisation, location and people Integrated organisation and process change is often necessary for ‘step change’ Page 18

  • 22. African Regional Management Hubs often exist providing some level of oversight and support services • Strategic direction with budget and forecast approval • Risk management, financial and control frameworks with IT/ERP systems standardization and support • Sales and marketing, new product development and innovation leadership • Sourcing, procurement, technical/ manufacturing, supply chain and logistic support services Above-Market Management Hub Market Sales and Supply SuppliersCustomers • In Africa, focussing on what can be done to elevate part or all of the core supply chain functionality and accountability above market is typically a key source of significant incremental operational benefit • Shared services and BPO are often helpful enablers too Goods flow Typical service model • Market operates independently • Hub provides support services across a range of functions • Hub charges market for services • Limited leverage of skill and scale Cash flow With growth, complexity, and resource shortages, the question becomes, “How best to leverage skill and scale?” Management Hub Sourcing/ Procurement Hub Supply Chain Planning Hub Logistics Hub Shared Services/BPO Provides typical HQ services, e.g. strategic direction, risk management frameworks, etc. Owns/operates the source to contract/pay function and process for key materials/services Owns/operates planning function and process for key products/manufacturing locations Owns/manages end-to-end in/outbound logistics, e.g. control tower Outsource routine functions and processes, e.g. accounts payable, human resources, debtors Integrated supply chain operating model example Standing still is normally not an option Groups often have existing structures in place that need to evolve Page 21
  • 23. • Supply chain functions generate significant value for multinational businesses • Creating an “above market” supply chain organisation results in supply chain value being generated by both the “above market” and “in market” organisations Above-Market Supply Chain Hub Market Sales and Supply SuppliersCustomers • A complex web of regulations and tax legislation applies – it needs to be understood when changing a supply chain operating model • “Above market” and “in market” tax authorities want to secure their “fair share” of supply chain value to tax it in their country • Functions performed, assets employed, and risks borne by a supply chain function, and the physical locations of its people, assets and legal entities, impact a territory’s entitlement to a “fair share” of that value • Cross border transactions have income tax, transfer pricing, withholding tax, customs and VAT implications Above-Market Supply Chain Hub Market Sales SuppliersCustomers Market Supply Goods flow Service model • Market provides forecasts • Hub provides services, e.g. creates supply plans, contracts logistics • Hub charges market for services • Market manufacturers, sells and ships direct to Customer Transactional model • Sales provide forecasts • Hub create supply plans and Supply produce for Hub • Hub owns inventory – always finished goods, sometimes inputs • Hub sell to Sales and Sales sell to Customer • Supply ships product to Sales warehouse/Customer Cash flow Goods flowCash flow “Above market” organisation requires remuneration Legal title flows CustomersSuppliers SC Hubs Marketing and brand mgt HQ RandD Opcos Financial flows Supplier interface Customer interface Physical flows Integrated supply chain operating model example Transactional model and transfer pricing Enabling transactional models have tax implications that must be considered Page 22
