- Best Buy is undergoing a strategic transformation of its supply chain to become more customer-centric and efficient in response to changing customer behaviors and trends in the retail industry. - It is shifting from a push-based to a pull-based supply chain model with more tailored assortments and one unified forecast to better meet customer needs. - A key part of the transformation involves deploying RFID technology to improve the customer in-store experience through more accurate inventory tracking and faster checkout.

- 22. Our Customer Driven Vision for the Store Experience Receiving - RFID readers automatically confirm receipts and update store inventory as product is unloaded. Check-Out - Serialized EPC codes increase the speed and accuracy of customer checkout and returns processing. Down-Stocking - RFID-enabled “smart shelves” predict, identify, and report shelf stock levels to store employees. Shopping Assistance – Loyalty cards with embedded chips identify customers as they enter the store. Smart Signs - Data from RFID-enabled smart shelves correlate sales to store promotions and product information.

- 27. In light of future trends, collaboration across the end to end supply chain will be key to meeting the needs of our customers, employees and stakeholders . “ The potential value to be delivered by these trends will not occur on it’s own. Left to their own devices, companies may potentially act in isolation or in limited partnerships. The industry needs to work in a more collaborative fashion across the total value chain to deliver the cultural and infrastructure changes necessary to meet . . . consumers’ needs.” 2006 Global Commerce Initiative, Gap Gemini True ‘Transformation’ will happen when we collaborate Closing Thoughts
Editor's Notes
- While in years past, our competition has been from big box CE retailers like Circuit City , the face of our competition has now changed to Wal-Mart and Dell. While Best Buy has been ranked the top CE retailer by TWICE Magazine, Wal-Mart is ranked 2 nd and Dell is 4 th . Dell and Wal-Mart are top performers in Supply Chain across all industries. Discussion of the major Brands. Geek is our fastest growing brand.
- What do you do for an encore for a company that has had a TRS of well over 1500% over the last 8 years? Let’s start by looking at 3 key questions from the CEO’s perspective.

- Customer Centricity – is a way to ignite our growth engines and ensure customer relevancy by analyzing what our profitable customers are looking for and creating value propositions to better meet their needs. 1) Realize your company is a portfolio of customers not products 2) Some of your customers are profitable and some are NOT 3) Understand (segment) your profitable AND unprofitable customers 4) Create value propositions that better meet their needs 5) For unprofitable customers, either fix, close or sell them. Efficient Enterprise – Other organizations like GE have been engaging in Lean or Six Sigma practices for years. In order to be competitive, we must adopt processes to continue to improve our organizational efficiency. Both the Supply Chain and IT are key enablers of these 2 strategic pillars.

- Merchandising – For Tailored Market Assortment, we’ve tailored 10 categories across the chain and are looking to do 5 more. For Pricing, we’ve Optimized across the chain and are now taking it below chain to a store cluster level. Both programs are delivering significant gross margin benefits. Forecast & Replenishment – We are piloting a new Forecasting system expected to significantly improve our forecast accuracy. Our assortment optimization work has allowed us to improve our CA from 85.5% to over 91% (as of April).
- To date, RFID in the Retail world has largely been piloted in the supply chain space ….around how we track inventory and drive in-stocks. We think the greatest value is below the surface, in a way that is much closer to the customer
- So before I share some of Best Buy’s vision, let’s look at where RFID is driving customer convenience across other industries… Driving Around - E-ZPass and other tag systems for paying tolls are based on RFID. Lots of car lock systems use RFID; even Zipcar, the shared car service, uses it. Tracking Your Own Stuff - Remote Play sells tags that let you keep track of your cellphone, iPod, or other device. It emits an alarm if you separate from your device. Your Sporting Life - Wave a card at Qwest Field and you won't need to carry any money to the Seahawks game. MasterCard has a promotional watch you wave over items you want to purchase at the World Cup soccer match. Amusements – Visit the Great Wolf Water Park and resort chain. It uses RFID-enabled wristbands so guests can wander cashlessly, even unlocking their rooms. From Dollywood to cruise ships, RFID is a child locator. Check out SafeTzone to plan your next RFID vacation. Kids’ Safety - A Japanese robot with an RFID reader acts as a school security guard and some US schools are using RFID to track kids for pickups at dismissal.
- We believe that RFID will eventually be a game-changing, disruptive technology that will dramatically change the shopping experience for our customers. Can you imagine a scenario in which…: You can know if the merchandise is in stock before you even walk into the store Your personal shopping assistant can be there to offer help with a complex technology purchase just as you enter the store The practice of standing in check-out lines is completely eliminated. I’d like to share with you a VIDEO that we’ve used to help us explore the possibilities of how we can use this technology to enhance the customer experience.
- We did one of the first in the nation, UHF 915 Gen 1 item level test with a company called VUE technologies 60 days in the game category, Totally replaced their old process. Goals – technology eval, gain retail acceptance and insight into the potential of item level RFID enabled processes Conclusion Improves retail process Technology – flexible, scalable, less expensive When we can get to Item level execution at the store level, we can unleash our bus case
- -Upgrade to pure Gen2 technology - Expand the store tests to more product categories, and design better technology to capture the tag reads. -Continue our leadership in the RFID industry through such vehicles as Chairing the Media and Entertainment group within EPC global, and continuing to push for RFID solutions at the item level to improve the shopping experience.
- In 1928, an innovation breakthrough occurred that created such a new level of consumer convenience that it remains the common metaphorical benchmark for innovation to this day. While it not only helped launch bread sales and reduce the instances of injuries in the kitchen, it also boosted a secondary market in toasters starting in 1933. However, what you may not realize is that it took 14 years to perfect this seemingly simple invention. That may be applicable to where we are with driving RFID take-up in the Retail industry. What may be even more applicable, and a key lesson that we should take from this example, is around the convenience to the customer . This innovation was remarkable because of the customer convenience that it created, otherwise it would have been just good invention. I think that is where we need to continue to drive RFID in the retail market…. For RFID to become one the “greatest things since sliced bread”, we must use it to drive value and convenience to our customers.
