     IKEA’s supply chain has a global spread
    with growing sales and purchasing in all
    major regions of the world.
     This article outlines IKEA’s global supply
    chain planning concept and describes the
    roles of the planning organization, data
    quality and software support in the concept.
    Its cornerstones are mutually integrated
    planning processes, a centralized planning
    organization, focus on data quality, use of
    advanced software support and structured
    change management during implementation
     296 IKEA stores in 36 countries.
     27 distribution centers.
     11 customer distribution centers in 16

    countries.
     41 trading services offices in 30 countries.
     1380 suppliers in 54 countries.
     Purchases most of its supplies from Europe
     9500 products
     Sourcing materials close to the supply chain
    to reduce transport costs.
     Building its DCs closer to seaports so that it

    can use more of ocean transport and less of


    road transport.
     Delivering products directly from the

    supplier to IKEA stores. This slashes


    handling costs, reduces road miles and
    lowers the carbon footprint.
     Warehouse attached to their retail stores.
     Using flat packs, packaging is designed to
    maximize the cube of ocean containers and
    domestic over-the-road trailers.
     This allows IKEA to ship more units at a time which
    has direct impact in the reduction of their overall
    landed costs.
     A better use of stock and warehouse space
     Transporting goods where possible by rail and
    sea.
     Utilizing fuel-saving techniques that allows to

    be cost-effective and environmentally friendly.
