Setting the appropriate strategy in procurement is the first step to improving control and effectiveness of the procurement and sourcing activities. However, not everyone knows where to start in their strategy. 

In this article, we will check five procurement strategy case studies that can give you insight into strategies they have used to streamline their processes. We will explore the problems that arise and how they have conquered them with their strategy. 

After reading this article, you will gain enough knowledge on tackling the problems in your procurement by formulating your very own strategy. So, I’d like to make your procurement process more effective than before!

Example 1 — InDemand, Co-creation Model Helping to Procure Innovation in Public Organizations

Actual case:.

InDemand brought together procurers from three different European Regions namely: Murcia, Oulu, and Paris to test a new co-creation model which is said to be a model that is faster, leaner, and requires fewer resources and overheads. Thus, being more suited to everchanging technologies, such as digital solutions. 

InDemand aims to help promote innovation by combining what the clients need (health professionals of the Murician Health Service), and the development of the solutions in the process of co-creation (a collaboration of health professionals together with tech companies). 

The Murician Health Service (EPICO), used the InDemand model to know the challenges of enhancing accessibility for and follow-up epileptic patients. Thus, a call to companies to co-create an innovative solution alongside clinicians commenced. 

After a tender process was launched, Oxiframe (renamed Aircrum IT) was selected to work together with neurologists and patients. After the engagement process, Servicio Murciano de Salud (SMS) prepared an open tender for a solution. Thus, a bigger company named PULSO won the bid and collaborated with Oxiframe to make an innovative solution. 

Final Deal:

The InDemand model has been leveraged to more than 50 procurement innovation projects. It is estimated that more than 200 organizations submitted a bid for the different calls based on the InDemand model from the numerous procurement organizations. 

Additionally, there was a 100% acceptance of the tool which was found to truly help improve communication between doctors and their patients affected by epilepsy. It has heightened patient satisfaction by up to 50% and led to a quality of life improvement for direct communication between doctors and their patients. 

After the success, it was then tested on 54 patients at the Hospital of Cartagena for 2 months and eventually tested on a wider group. Thus, it is a great example of how to use a co-creation model with companies together with clinicians and their patients. 

What Can We Learn From It?

We can learn here that demand-driven co-creation works, at least in the healthcare sector, to address the problems perceived by parties involved in the creation of a solution. 

Together with the clinicians and the patients, the collaboration worked well. The exchange of ideas, needs, solutions, standard practices, and legal limitations has become a valuable component to co-create an innovative solution. 

Example 2 — The City of Copenhagen Supplying Seasonal and Diverse Organic Fruit and Vegetables

Copenhagen, the most populous city of Denmark, has set a target for 90% of the food served in municipal facilities to be organic. It has also ensured that it was buying seasonal produce to support efforts of strengthening biodiversity in agricultural production in both Danish and foreign producers. 

It is important to note that “seasonality” is not meant to be the seasons in Denmark. Rather, it defines the season somewhere in the world helping to ensure fairness and transparency. 

Furthermore, an extensive market engagement was conducted to ensure the requirements were ambitious and also achievable. The bidders were also asked to complete the “seasonal wheels’ to demonstrate the varieties of the typically used products available throughout the year. 

The first contract was issued in January 2014. However, the tender was abandoned due to multiple errors seen in the bids. The contract was reissued in April 2014. Seven tenders were then submitted and only two of those met the requirements. After that, the contract was awarded in July 2014. 

The innovation in the supply and delivery of products, improved relationships with the suppliers, and greater sustainability initiatives in sourcing food were all positive results of the extensive market dialogue. 

Additionally, the organic food market in Denmark has remarkably grown in recent years and the organic food service market increased up to 33% between the years 2013 and 2014. 

We should take note that there is a risk in carrying out the innovation procurement process that is susceptible to being abandoned due to a lack of competition. The extensive market engagement Copenhagen has done can be time-consuming. 

However, by building a strong knowledge of the market, it is achievable to produce realistic yet innovative specifications or requirements to attract necessary competition. 

Example 3 — Catalonia’s Aim to Clean Air through Clean Vehicle Procurement

Catalonia is an autonomous region in Spain. Its government has passed the responsibility for certain legislative and policy areas, including the environment. The Ministry of Territory and Sustainability is the expert body for environmental policies and leads the promotion of Green Public Procurement in Catalonia. 

The Catalonia government uses GPP to support numerous strategic policies such as reducing negative impacts of consumption and production, promoting eco-innovation and transformation, and supporting other policies that pursue sustainable objectives. 

The government of Catalonia focuses on low-carbon vehicles that align with wider environmental priorities within the region. Air pollution is a specific concern within the wider urban area of Barcelona where nitrogen oxide exceeds the annual limit. 

An Air Quality Plan of the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona has brought 40 municipalities together to solve the air pollution problem. Catalonia’s Government approach to combat air pollution is to provide guidelines on the GPP vehicles, government agreements regarding GPP, eco-labeling to identify low-carbon vehicles and the LIVE platform which is a public-private platform promoting sustainable mobility. 

The GPP guidelines laid out clear and simple criteria that public procurers procurement can follow to buy low-emission vehicles, as well as consider the use of vehicle fleets in the delivery of service contracts. It also includes the maximum energy consumption and technical specifications of the award criteria. 

Additionally, the Catalonia government supports the Catalan Ecolabelling. It is a regional voluntary ecolabel awarded to products and services that fulfill specific environmental quality requirements beyond what is compulsory under the current regulations. 

The result of vehicle-related tenders in the Catalonia region has produced positive impacts on the environment. It is estimated that through its procurement strategy, it has produced energy savings of 2,120 Tons of Oil Equivalent (TOE) and a reduction of 7,166.7 tons of carbon emissions compared to benchmark levels. 

Catalonia’s government approach demonstrates that procurement can play a significant role in contributing to wider environmental policies and public health goals. 

Additionally, by aligning the EU national and regional policies, it is achievable to send a clear message to markets and the citizens of Catalonia about the importance of the environment through sustainable activities. 

Example 4 — The Ministry of Defense of the Kingdom of The Netherlands Procuring Textiles Made From Recycled Fibers

The Ministry of Defense of the Kingdom of the Netherlands (MODNL) is a large public sector buyer that employs around 58,000 people across the army, military police, air force, and other supporting roles. 

It is also one of the 45 public sectors and private parties brought together by the Dutch Government’s Circular Procurement Green Deal, tasking participants in carrying out two circular procurement initiatives between the years 2014 and 2016 to increase knowledge and accelerate the transition to a circular economy. 

One of the areas of focus of MODNL was textiles because it needed to equip its large numbers of personnel with uniforms and other textile products. However, textile production is linked with numerous environmental and social problems. Ultimately, the energy to transform raw materials and manufacture new fibers in the production of textiles has great carbon emissions. 

Therefore, the MODNL began exploring the market for recycled textiles in January 2014 by publishing a request for information and conducting an open meeting with the textile suppliers. This market engagement aimed to know if it is possible to require recycled fibers to be used in the production of certain items. 

Through its market research , it identified that manufacturers were able to meet the requirements around the use of recycled content. However, MODNL must focus on the items’ ability to perform their use rather than the technical values such as the tensile strength. 

The contracts awarded in June 2016 are worth approximately $455,000 for towels and washcloths and $1.46 million for overalls. Only six suppliers submitted their bids and only four of them met the tender requirements. 

Now, two Belgian companies supply the MODNL with towels, washcloths, and overalls. The parties will innovate during the four-year term which could result in a higher percentage of recycled materials later on in the execution of the contract.

Subsequently, a separate eight-year contract was also signed for reuse services where a third party was contracted to sort items of clothing for reuse and resale with income being returned to MODNL. Thus, it results in considerable savings for the MODNL.  

Circular procurement needs suppliers to find alternative inputs and new ways of working. Thus, to assist innovation, the market engagement conducted by the MODNL found that functional rather than technical specifications provided suppliers with more space to innovate and find new ways to meet the MODNL’s material needs. 

We can learn here that when asking the market to work with new materials or in an innovative way, it is necessary to give them more lead-in and response time to consider and prepare non-traditional offers. 

Moreover, it is important to take note that you should not introduce price ceilings based on existing prices, and costs, as expected on a pilot test, can constrain the development potential of new areas. 

Example 5 — Combining Procurement Model For Sustainable Buildings

The South Moravian Region has over a million inhabitants and is the fourth-largest region in the Czech Republic. The landscape of the region is distinguished by its highlands as well as the Moravian Karst. The abundance of caves and gorges provides ideal conditions to treat respiratory diseases. 

The regional government aims to build a new treatment facility for respiratory diseases near the town of Ostrov u Macochy. The procurement approach was set up to give the market the chance to show the best they can offer to create the building as aesthetically pleasing, energy-efficient, and a comfortable place for patients. 

The process includes preliminary consultation and market dialogue to test the feasibility of the procedure and to provide a detailed description of the planned procurement process and requirements of the tenders. 

Furthermore, the procurement procedure combined various methods to filter the bids. The tender itself was awarded using a combination of a competitive procedure with negotiation and an architectural design contest. 

The preparation of the tender process started in April 2018 and the procurement commenced in April 2019 with a total contract value of $6 million. 

Seven suppliers submitted their bids which were to be assessed by an expert independent evaluation committee that recommended the exclusion of one supplier due to flaws in its bid. 

The remaining were then evaluated according to set criteria which are based on the reports of the expert examiners who examined in detail the values offered in the quality of technological and energy solution criteria. 

The contract was awarded to the selected contractor in April 2020. Since then, the construction started in June 2021 and is expected to be done by the end of 2022.

The winning bidder offered numerous sustainable solutions including reusable components of the main construction and interior design layout that enables simple layout adjustments that may be done in the future. The successful bidder also committed to achieving a reduction in the annual consumption of non-renewable primary energy. 

We can learn here that preliminary market consultations are crucial when the contracting authority undertakes a new approach to procurement. Additionally, it is important to present the intentions and goals to potential suppliers, get feedback from the market, and find other information significant to prepare the procurement process. 

All parties involved in the preparation of the actual procurement process were sent a request to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the procurement process they utilized. 

Using the BIM method leads to better execution and more efficient operation of the building. Furthermore, as the tender used numerous methods, it is significant to see the effectiveness of the DB approach as it can be an interesting and legitimate way for contractors to implement large-scale projects.

Moreover, the ability to adapt strategies to emerging technologies and market shifts is essential for staying competitive and achieving long-term success in procurement.”

3. From your experience, what is the most important thing you learned about procurement strategy case studies?

“To ensure an effective procurement strategy, it’s crucial to align with organizational objectives and understand needs and goals thoroughly. Employ data-driven decision-making, leveraging insights for optimal choices. Prioritize risk management by identifying and mitigating potential supply chain risks. Cultivate strong, transparent relationships with suppliers, adhering to compliance and ethical standards. Foster a culture of continuous improvement, integrating sustainability practices, and optimizing costs through strategic negotiations.

By following these guidelines, you can enhance your procurement strategy and achieve better outcomes.”

Turning procurement around: 6 case studies of success.

Welcome to our blog post on turning procurement around! In today’s fast-paced and competitive business landscape, effective procurement strategies are crucial for organizations looking to stay ahead of the curve. However, many companies struggle with their procurement processes , leading to increased costs, missed opportunities, and strained supplier relationships.

But fear not! In this article, we’ll dive into six inspiring case studies of successful procurement transformations that have revolutionized some of the biggest players in various industries. From automotive giants like Ford to tech titans like Samsung and IBM, these organizations have overcome challenges and implemented innovative approaches to achieve remarkable results.

So if you’re ready to discover how these industry leaders turned their procurement woes into triumphs – grab a cup of coffee and let’s get started! We guarantee you’ll walk away with valuable insights on how your organization can do the same. Let’s dive right in!

The Problem with Procurement

Procurement, despite its importance, can often become a complex and inefficient process for organizations. The problem lies in the numerous challenges that businesses face when trying to manage procurement effectively .

One of the primary issues is a lack of visibility and transparency throughout the procurement cycle. Without clear insight into supplier performance, pricing structures, and contract terms, organizations struggle to make informed decisions. This leads to increased costs and missed opportunities for savings.

Another challenge is ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and ethical standards. Organizations must navigate a web of regulations while also upholding their values and promoting sustainable practices. Failure to do so not only exposes companies to legal risks but also damages their reputation among stakeholders.

Moreover, poor communication between departments within an organization can hinder effective procurement management . When different teams operate in silos without sharing information or collaborating closely, it becomes difficult to align goals and optimize processes.

Additionally, outdated technology systems contribute to inefficiencies in procurement operations . Manual processes like paper-based documentation or legacy software solutions slow down workflows and create room for error.

Furthermore, managing supplier relationships can be a daunting task if not handled properly. Building strong partnerships requires proactive engagement, effective communication channels, negotiation skills, and mutual trust – all of which can be challenging without proper strategies in place.

Limited access to accurate market intelligence poses yet another obstacle in successful procurement management . Without real-time data on market trends or competitive pricing information across suppliers/vendors/products/services/regions – businesses may find themselves making suboptimal purchasing decisions based on incomplete information.

These are just some of the problems that organizations encounter when it comes to procurement management. However daunting they may seem though – fear not! We will explore how industry leaders have overcome these obstacles through our case studies next! Stay tuned for some inspiring success stories from Ford, Samsung, IBM Boeing,and Nestle that will surely spark ideas for turning your organization’s procurement around!

Case Study #1: Ford

When it comes to turning procurement around, Ford stands as a shining example of success. The automotive giant recognized the need for change and took decisive action to transform its procurement processes.

In conclusion without concluding or summarizing anything specific about Case Study #1: Ford , this case study highlights the importance of strategic partnerships with suppliers, technological advancements in procurement processes,and a focus on sustainability and innovation for successful turnaround in procurement operations.

Case Study #5: Nestle

Nestle, the multinational food and beverage company, has undergone a remarkable transformation in its procurement practices. Facing challenges such as increasing costs and supply chain complexities, Nestle made strategic changes to turn their procurement department around.

One of the key initiatives undertaken by Nestle was to implement a centralized procurement strategy. By consolidating their purchasing activities across different business units and regions, they were able to leverage their buying power and negotiate better deals with suppliers.

AMMAN, JORDAN Irbed Der’a Jerash Mafraq Salt Zarqa AMMAN Jafa AMMAN Madaba Qatraneh Karak Abiad Hassa Tafilah Naqqab Ma’an El-Shidiya Batn El-Ghoul Aqaba Mudawara

Amman’s Wastewater Sector • Since 1985 the As Samra Waste Stabilization Ponds had been sole wastewater treatment facility for Amman region. • Design capacity: 68,000 m3/day • Ave. Inflow (1998): 170,000 m3/day • Untreated sewage had contaminated several sources of drinking water (King Talal Reservoir) and produced offensive odors for nearby residents • Jordan’s Second Wastewater Masterplan for 2000-2025 called for reducing the amount of potable water that goes to irrigation (60%) by providing purified effluent for restricted agriculture purposes (trees and feed pastures).

Feasibility Study Results: • Location: As Samra Wastewater Stabilization Ponds • Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) Project Structure • 25-year concession term • $169 million investment (initial estimate) • Capacity of New Wastewater Treatment Plant: • 2 million population of Amman • Average wastewater flow: 267,000 m3/day • Maximum wastewater flow: 530,000 m3/day • Plant will treat 80% of the country of Jordan’s wastewater

Feasibility Study Results: • If tariffs were increased to full cost-recovery levels (to meet the payments for the new WWTP), they would be unaffordable. • The Government of Jordan cannot afford to provide the public “off-taker” (the Water Authority of Jordan) with the subsidies needed to cover the difference between its current collections and costs of a new WWTP BOT. • So, what do you do?…

PPP Structure & Credit Enhancements • Tariff Reform: Government of Jordan raised water & wastewater tariffs on end-users during project preparation to improve cost-recovery: • 0.3 JoD/m3 for first 30 m3/month (=$0.45/m3) • 0.5 JoD/m3 for greater than 30 m3/month (=$0.70/m3) • USAID grant-funded $78 million to Min. of Water & Irrigation (MWI) to subsidize the construction costs of the project in order to ensure that end-users tariffs would be affordable to Jordanians. • Condition of USAID Grant: At least 50% of the equipment and commodities should come from U.S. firms… • Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA) grants $5 million to pay for BOT transaction advisors

PPP Procurement • Appointment of experienced international PPP Transaction Advisors provided great confidence to international bidders • One single team of advisors throughout project preparation and into operation (SIDA grant): • SWECO (Sweden) Technical & Prime Contractor • Mannheimer Swartling (Sweden) Legal & Subcontractor • SEK Advisory Services (Sweden) Financial & Subcontractor • Procurement was based upon meeting specific effluent quality standards (outputs) NOT on project design or technology (inputs) • Price: Two-part tariff with fixed and variable components • “Spending time to make the bid documents high quality, greatly improves the bids you receive – the number of bids, the quality of bids, and their clarity. You must be very, very clear to bidders on exactly HOW their bids will be evaluated.”

BOT Procurement Timeline • Sept. 1998: MWI & Advisors prepare project • Feb. 2000: Pre-Qualification packages (RFQs) sold for 1,000 JoD ($1,600) each to 34 firms • 8 consortia of firms submit Qualification Statements • 5 consortia were Qualified to Bid • March, 2001: 3 consortia submit bids (Single Stage-2 Envelopes) • Ondeo (France), Morganti (Construction), USA • CH2M Hill (USA) • Vivendi (France) • January, 2002: Announcement of preferred Bidder = Ondeo • July, 2002: BOT Project Agreement signed • December, 2003: BOT Project Financing agreements signed • 3 year construction period. Operational 2007

As-Samra Wastewater Treatment Facility

BOT Project Financing Sources

As Samra Wastewater PPP Lessons Learned • Without a private operator to ensure sustainability, the Capital Grant from USAID would not have been given. • Without the USAID grant, the project would not have been affordable to Jordanians. • Raising water & wastewater tariffs during project preparation helped make project sustainable • International Transaction Advisors were instrumental to the success of the project • Competitive procurement was based upon lowest price per cubic meter of influent, NOT upon plant design, etc. (OUTPUTS not inputs) • Even with PPP Transaction Advisors, projects of this size take a long time to prepare and complete. • Similar future roles for grants from Millennium Challenge Corp (MCC) & Global Partnership for Output Based Aid (GPOBA)

Kosovo’s PPP Framework & Program • Kosovo’s Population: 1.8 million • Declared Independence from Serbia in 1999 • Av. Annual GDP per capita: $3,059 • Suffers from shortages of infrastructure across many different sectors in order to sustain a viable national economy: • Roadway infrastructure • Electricity generation • Municipal services (waste management & Parking) • Water supply & wastewater treatment • Limited airport & air traffic capacity

Kosovo Background Information: • 1999-2003: Serbia’s former military airport at Pristina damaged & closed to commercial aviation. Most goods & supplies enter the country by land from Macedonia or Albania. • 2004: Govt of Kosovo adopts the priority of expanding Pristina’s old military airport into the Nation’s international commercial airport. • 2005-2006: Govt of Kosovo looks at expanding the airport through a Concession structure, but Kosovo lacks the legal and institutional framework for PPPs, including concessions.

Kosovo’s PPP Framework: • Kosovo’s PPP Policy Directive, July, 2008. Signed by the Prime Minister, this Directive provided the Government of Kosovo clear support for PPPs in order to: • Increase needed investment into infrastructure and public services; • Create better value for money; • Follow international best practices in implementing PPPs, and • Ensure fairness, transparency, and competition. • Kosovo’s Law on PPPs and Concessions in Infrastructure and the Procedures for their Award, July, 2009 The law’s seven Parts define PPPs and the required roles and responsibilities of the key parties: • General Provisions of the PPP Law • PPPs and Concessions • Institutional Coordination and Responsibilities • Identification of Potential Projects and Procedures for their Award • The PPP Agreement • PPP Procurement Review • Final Provisions of the PPP Law

Pristina International Airport: • Located 16 kms from Capital City of Pristina • 2008: • 1.2 million passengers and14,000 aircraft operations per year • Annual air traffic growth of 11.4% • Serviced by 35 different air companies reaching 30 different destinations • Owned & operated by a publicly-owned enterprise “Pristina International Airport, Joint Stock Company” • 2008 Revenue of 21.7 million Euros earns a surplus. • 89% of Revenues from aeronautical fees • 11% from commercial activities • GoK’s Goal is to expand and improve PIA into a modern international airport, capable of meeting Kosovo’s air traffic and airport infrastructure needs, while sustaining itself financially • June, 2009: GoK officially launched PPP Procurement for a Concession for the Pristina International Airport.

Pristina Airport • Built in 1965 as a military airport • Commercial flights began in 1990’s

How to Solve a Supply Chain Case Study Interview

• Last Updated January, 2022

Former Accenture

People can be nervous about approaching a supply chain case study interview.

Everyone has some level of experience with marketing and sales because they see these functions in stores and advertisements every day.

The supply chain that gets the product on a store shelf (whether it’s a physical one or digital) can be more opaque.

Supply chain management is the optimization of the process of designing and creating a good or service and getting it to the customer in the most efficient way possible.

Breaking the supply chain down into its component steps will allow you to look at essential parts of the process and uncover which steps may have problems that need to be addressed to better meet customer needs.

In this article, we’ll discuss:

• The types of business problems that fall under supply chain management,
• Why supply chain matters,
• Key factors to consider in a supply chain case,
• A supply chain case example, and
• Our 7 tips on answering a supply chain case interview question.

Let’s get started!

What Types of Business Problems Fall into Supply Chain Management?

Supply chain management includes:

• Product development, 
• Sourcing parts and materials, 
• Production, 
• Logistics, and
• Information systems that support this process.

Each consulting firm breaks down the group of consultants who work on supply chain problems differently. Some firms put the entire process under supply chain. 

In others, “production” problems are managed by an operations practice or service line. The supply chain practice is responsible for issues like:

• How does a company get the necessary components that go into making its product in a cost-effective and timely fashion?
• And how does the company deliver that product to the end-customer efficiently and at the required service level?

For example, before a company can manufacture a bike, it needs tires, steel, or aluminum for the frame, the bike chain, etc. To get the finished bike to market, they need transportation to retail stores or a chain’s distribution warehouse. 

For the purpose of this article, we’ll look at the broader definition of supply chain, the entire process from getting components parts, to manufacturing the product and delivering finished goods as cheaply and efficiently as possible while meeting or exceeding service level expectations.

Nail the case & fit interview with strategies from former MBB Interviewers that have helped 89.6% of our clients pass the case interview.

Why Does the Movement of Goods To & From a Factory Matter So Much?

Moving goods to and from a factory might not seem to be the most exciting thing in the world but it’s fundamental to business success. If you can’t get your innovative new product to market so your customers can buy it, it can’t add value to your bottom line. 

From a financial perspective, there are both inbound and outbound considerations. 

Inbound considerations include:

• Transportation costs from supplier to factory/warehouse
• Warehousing cost 
• Carrying cost of inventory

Outbound considerations include:

• Transportation costs from factory to customer or store

Let’s look at these in more detail.

Transportation Cost

Transportation costs include both receiving goods from suppliers and distributing them to the customer. There are several factors to be considered when calculating transportation costs, and they may have to be weighed against other factors.

For example, is it more beneficial to use a cheaper supplier that has higher inbound transportation costs? Is it better to use a more expensive carrier service that results in a lower rate of damaged goods or quicker transit time?

Warehousing Cost

The cost of storing inventory, whether component parts or finished products, needs to be considered in effective supply chain management. Warehousing costs can be significant and can be optimized in a number of ways:

• Only renting the storage space you need and using it efficiently.
• Optimizing product packaging to reduce the storage space required.
• Researching less expensive potential warehousing locations.
• Using a multi-client facility where several businesses share the cost (if not a lot of space is required.)

It’s worth bearing in mind that, like many things in supply chain management, there may be tradeoffs. Cheaper warehousing that’s poorly connected to a company’s distribution network could end up costing you more time and money than more expensive storage that’s well connected. It’s important to optimize total supply chain costs, not each individual cost in the supply chain.

Inventory Carrying Cost

In addition to storage costs, there are several other costs associated with holding inventory. These include:

• Capital cost . Money that’s been invested in inventory cannot be used elsewhere.
• Insurance . Storing inventory requires insurance to cover the risk of theft or damage.
• Risk . Products may decrease in value or become obsolete during the time they’re stored.

Similarly, from a customer service level perspective, there are both inbound and outbound considerations.

• Factory/production cell downtime due to lack of component parts. 
• Missed sales due to stockout at retail stores.
• Failure to meet customer service-level expectations.

In short, inventory levels are about managing supply vs. demand. If there is a problem with inbound supply, production will slow or cease. This is highly inefficient and reduces potential product profitability. 

For example, the blockage of the Suez Canal in early 2021 due to a container ship that ran aground was expected to delay shipment of $9.6 billion in goods a day on the 150+ vessels waiting to travel through the canal according to a BBC article. These delays are expected to cost companies substantial sums due to:

• Lost sales as customers look to competitors to purchase out-of-stock goods,
• Production downtime at manufacturers resulting from parts shortages,
• Higher shipping costs on ships detoured to longer, more expensive sea routes to avoid the canal, and 
• Higher shipping costs due to a worldwide shortage of shipping containers that was exacerbated by this accident.

Key Factors to Consider in a Supply Chain Case Study Interview

A supply chain process map.

When analyzing a supply chain case, the best place to start is by mapping out the steps parts go through as they come into the factory, go through the manufacturing and quality control processes, and then are finally shipped to the customer. A process map like the one above will help you identify key steps.

Imagine yourself walking the production floor following the process the parts and end-product go through. In a supply chain case with an actual client, you’ll do this.

An effective supply chain moves the various elements seamlessly in the most efficient manner, minimizing waste and maximizing profitability. The flow of information between supplier and buyer, production, and the market should also move freely. This means it can be used to improve supply chain decisions. For example, an increase in orders at Manufacturer A will be communicated to their supplier, Company B, so that they know that they expect a larger than normal parts order and are prepared to fulfill it.

Imagine How Raw Materials Arrive at a Factory and Move Through It

• What steps are required to get parts into inventory?
• Where are they stored?
• How are they moved around the factory?
• How are they changed to outputs – single step or multiple?
• Is there an assembly step? A quality control step?
• How are they packaged and stored?
• Where and how are they prepared and loaded for delivery to market?

Tip! Look for steps in the process where inventory is piling up. This may be because parts supply or production is unbalanced, reducing efficiency. Find ways to improve these bottlenecks.

Tip! Look for areas where there are significant problems with quality control. Parts or products that need to be sent back to suppliers or go through production rework are opportunities to improve efficiency and quality and, by doing so, save money.

After you have a clear understanding of the company’s supply chain, there are 4 factors you’ll want to dive deeper into to find opportunities to improve efficiency:

• Operational considerations,
• Financial considerations,
• Service levels, and 
• Matching supply and demand.

Operational Considerations

The best supply chains are highly efficient, which means they have low to minimal waste and consistently operate at optimum levels. This means that labor capacity is well-matched to production requirements.

They are also reliable with robust supplier relationships and an effective transportation solution.

Questions to Ask about Operational Efficiency

• Product development
• How well do we understand customer needs and use that insight to develop next-generation products?
• How efficient are we at designing new products to meet these customer needs?
• Is there a good split of engineering resources allocated to incremental product improvements versus next-generation product design?
• Do we regularly review contracts for cost-savings opportunities (both for direct spend on components that go into our end-products and indirect spend on things such as travel and office supplies)?
• Do we optimize total cost of ownership rather than individual component costs?
• Is the production process optimized or does work-in-process accumulate behind bottlenecked resources (equipment or employees)?
• Does the factory experience production shut-downs due to a lack of raw materials?
• Does the factory experience unexpected equipment downtime?
• Are employees cross-trained to minimize rework?
• How efficient is the inbound transportation network? Are raw materials received on a just-in-time basis? How often are there stock-outs?
• How efficient is the outbound transportation network? Are end products received by customers on time? 
• Are there product defects or quality issues caused by transport?
• Information systems that support this process
• Do information systems support the exchange of data up and down the supply chain to optimize decision-making?

Financial Considerations

There are both fixed and variable costs associated with getting a product to market that should be considered.

Fixed Production Costs

Fixed costs are costs that are independent of production volume (at least over the short term) — for example, factory leasing costs.

Let’s assume a factory can produce a maximum of 10,000 units of a product a year. To lease the factory is the same price whether you produce 1 unit or 10,000 units a year. 

Fixed costs can depend on production volume only when it exceeds a threshold volume.

For example, if sales increase and the business needed to produce 15,000 units a year, the company would need to lease another factory to deal with the increased production. In this case, volume does affect a fixed cost.

Fixed costs do directly influence the cost per unit, however. The higher the utilization of the fixed production volume, the lower the cost per unit. 

For example, if the factory mentioned above costs $10,000 to lease and the factory is producing at its full capacity of 10,000 units, then the fixed cost/unit of output is $1. If the factory is only running at 50% capacity, the fixed costs/unit of output would double to $2.

Variable Production Costs

Variable costs change in proportion to production volume. For every additional unit produced, an additional $x of variable cost is incurred. Examples of variable cost items include raw materials and hourly labor costs.

There are times when rebalancing fixed and variable costs can be an opportunity for savings. For example, is it beneficial to invest in machinery or automation (fixed cost) if it reduces high labor costs? Be sure to look for opportunities like this as well as optimizing fixed and variable costs on their own.

Questions To Ask About Financial Optimization

• How do increases and decreases in production impact fixed and variable costs?
• Are there variable costs that fixed costs could replace?  (Example: new machinery that could reduce labor costs as well as total costs of production?)
• Are there fixed costs that could be reduced through outsourcing? (Example: costs of leasing and managing a warehouse that could be reduced by outsourcing?)
• Where are the biggest opportunities for financial savings?
• How could reducing or increasing costs affect other considerations such as operational efficiency?

Service Levels

In supply chain management, the term service level has a specific meaning. It relates to how well inventory levels fulfill customer orders. A good service level is one that can fulfill customer orders without incurring a delay.

This is important because customer loyalty may decrease if products are consistently out of stock.

Questions To Ask About Service Levels

• What are the clients’ service level expectations?
• How often are customer orders fulfilled successfully?
• How would changing service levels affect buyer behavior or customer retention?
• How would changing service levels increase or decrease costs?

Supply and Demand

Effective supply chain management is about ensuring demand for the product is equaled by supply, at the lowest cost to the business.

If demand is higher than supply, customers could turn to a competitor.

If supply is higher than demand, inventory costs can reduce profit margins. Storing inventory also increases business risk as the product may decrease in value or become obsolete as it waits to reach the market.

Questions To Ask About Supply And Demand

• What factors influence supply?
• What factors influence demand?
• How good is the organization at forecasting demand?
• How flexible is the organization at changing output (e.g., are workers cross-trained for different production cells?)
• How well are supply and demand currently balanced?
• If they are imbalanced, what factors are contributing to this and how can those issues be fixed?

Supply Chain Case Study Interview – A Sample Question

Problem: Intel is the world’s largest manufacturer of computer chips. In 2008, Intel launched its low-cost “Atom” chip . The supply chain costs of Intel’s chips were about $5.50 a chip, which were acceptable for chips that sold for $100 each. For the Atom chips, priced at $20, these costs were too high to generate a profit.

What factors should Intel consider in order to reduce its supply chain costs, and what actions would you recommend as a priority?

Mapping the Supply Chain

Mapping out the supply chain process for Intel’s Atom chip identified several steps that had already been optimized including:

• Raw material costs, 
• Packaging costs, and
• Duty payments.

It also identified that customers required a 2-week service level for receiving orders after a purchase order was submitted. 

However, the order cycle for the Atom chip was 9 weeks. Order-cycle time is the time between when a customer order is received and when the goods are shipped. High levels of inventory were required to ensure that customer service levels could be met despite the long production cycle time.

Because of this, production time/inventory was identified as the key step that had opportunities for improvement.

Identifying Opportunities to Reduce Production Time and Inventory

The process for reducing inventory required reducing the order cycle time to meet the customer’s 2-week required service level. Getting to a 2-week cycle time from a 9-week cycle time was a considerable challenge. To meet this challenge, opportunities to improve order cycle time were addressed throughout the supply chain process. 

As described above, for a supply chain case, there are 4 main factors to consider:

• Service levels, and
• Supply and demand.

In drilling down on this case, the following opportunities were identified:

• Financial: Intel moved to a vendor-managed inventory model where possible to save inventory carrying costs. Vendor-managed inventory is the process of having a parts manufacturer take responsibility for holding the required amount of inventory at the customer location.  
• Operational: The team was able to identify multiple production process improvements to reduce order cycle time, such as cutting the chip assembly test from 5 days to 2 days.
• Service levels : As mentioned, the 2-week required service level was not flexible, providing no opportunities in this area.
• Balancing supply and demand: Intel introduced a formal sales and operation planning process to provide better demand forecasts and time production to better meet demand.

Our 7 Tips on Answering a Supply Chain Case Interview Question

Tip 1: walk through the supply chain process.

Start by mapping out the step-by-step supply chain process.

Understanding how materials arrive from suppliers, the steps to turn them into outputs, and what’s needed to get them to market is an important first step. Once you’ve done this, look for bottlenecks or inefficiencies in the system.

Tip 2: Clarify Your Understanding of the Case 

At the start of any case study, it’s important to make sure you understand the question. This includes any information you’ve received about the case and also what you think you need to do to solve it.

A simple way to do this is to repeat back to the interviewer what you know about the case and what you believe the task to be. This gives them an early opportunity to guide your thinking if you look to be going off track.

Tip 3: Ask Questions

If you don’t understand anything, ask! Even if you feel you should know something, there’s no point wasting time worrying about it. Just ask the question and move on.

Similarly, if there are gaps in the data provided, or you need more information in order to form a hypothesis or conclusion, ask your interviewer for more detail. They may provide further information that helps you choose an approach or strengthens your analysis.

Tip 4: Take Time to Structure your Thinking

Don’t be afraid to take your time when structuring your approach to the case. 

Moments of silence can feel endless in an interview situation, but it’s better to use some extra thinking time and respond clearly and logically than answer immediately in a rushed or haphazard manner.

If you need more time to think, it’s perfectly ok to signpost that to your interviewer by asking for a little more time to organize your thoughts.

Tip 5: Use A Framework

Frameworks are popular with both candidates and interviewers alike as they bring structure to your analysis. 

Case interviews can be daunting, and anxiety can make it tricky to think things through logically. Using a framework provides an anchor to organize your thoughts around and makes it less likely you’ll leave anything out.

In supply chain cases, the supply chain process itself can often be used as your framework.

Tip 6: Share Your Analysis

Speaking of analysis, don’t be afraid to share your thoughts aloud. A case interview should be more of a conversation than an interrogation!

Remember your math teacher always telling you to show your work? The same is true in case interviews.

Explaining your thought process helps the interviewer see how you process and make connections between pieces of information. They may also point out small mistakes in your arithmetic so that they don’t mess up your conclusion.

Tip 7: Provide a Recommendation

At the end of the interview, briefly summarize the information you’ve uncovered about the case and how it’s influenced your thinking. Then clearly state your recommendation for the client’s next steps.

Make sure you also share any other important details, such as any risks associated with your recommendation and how they might be overcome.

Elon Musk Dominates Space Launch. Rivals Are Calling Foul.

At a time when the U.S. government is concerned about its reliance on a mercurial billionaire for access to space, new competitors say Elon Musk’s SpaceX is using tactics intended to squash them.

By Eric Lipton

Eric Lipton, who has written extensively about the intersection of technology, the military and space, reported from Washington; Cape Canaveral, Fla.; and Brownsville, Texas.

• May 28, 2024

Elon Musk aggressively elbowed his way into the space launch business over the past two decades, combining engineering genius and an entrepreneurial drive with a demand that the U.S. government stop favoring the big, slow-moving contractors that had long dominated the industry.

Today, it is Mr. Musk who is dominant. His company, SpaceX, is the primary provider of launch services to NASA and to the Pentagon. His rockets carry far more commercial satellites into orbit than anyone else’s, including those for his own Starlink communications network. He has set new standards for reaching space cheaply and reliably.

But in one striking way, the former outsider has come to resemble the entrenched contractors he once fought to topple: He is increasingly using his vast power and influence to try to keep emerging rivals at bay, his competitors say, even as his success is prompting qualms within the government about such heavy reliance on a mercurial billionaire.

The new generation of space entrepreneurs trying to emulate Mr. Musk is sufficiently concerned about what they see as his anticompetitive tactics that some of them are now willing to take him on publicly.

Tim Ellis started Relativity Space after being inspired by Mr. Musk’s pursuit of a rocket that could carry humans to Mars. Then he heard from other industry executives that individuals with ties to SpaceX were trying to block his efforts to raise money for his own Mars project.

Jim Cantrell worked with Mr. Musk at the founding of SpaceX in 2002. When he started to build his own launch company, Phantom Space, two potential customers told his sales team they could not sign deals because SpaceX inserts provisions in its contracts to discourage customers from using rivals.

Peter Beck, an aerospace engineer from New Zealand, met in 2019 with Mr. Musk to talk about Mr. Beck’s own launch company, called Rocket Lab. Several months later, SpaceX moved to start carrying small payloads at a discounted price that Mr. Beck and other industry executives said was intended to undercut their chances of success.

“I don’t think this is an accidental monopoly,” Mr. Beck said in an interview about SpaceX and Mr. Musk. “These are business decisions that are being made.”

None of these executives said they had taken legal action against SpaceX. And no one in the industry disputes that Mr. Musk and SpaceX deserve enormous credit for making spaceflight more affordable and almost routine.

But his tactics are generating a backlash within the industry. And they are adding to concerns in the government about relying so heavily for a critical technology on someone known as much for his divisive public statements, his increasingly outspoken political positions that are at odds with U.S. policy and his deep business ties to rivals like China as he is for his engineering prowess.

Mr. Musk endorsed an antisemitic theory late last year on his social media platform X. He has nurtured relationships with right-wing leaders around the world. And he has publicly stated that Russia will not lose its war against Ukraine, endorsing an argument that the United States should not have provided Kyiv with additional military assistance.

“Elon Musk’s rhetoric and behavior undermines his credibility and reliability on a global scale,” said Senator Jeanne Shaheen, Democrat of New Hampshire, who this spring questioned Pentagon officials about Mr. Musk. “Commercial services, including SpaceX, that do business with the U.S. government need to be thoroughly vetted to ensure that the U.S. military can depend on them in times of crisis.”

Last month, a bipartisan group of 36 House lawmakers sent a letter to Frank Kendall , the Air Force secretary, urging him to make sure that the Air Force pushes for “increased competition among launch providers.”

Representative Dale Strong, Republican of Alabama, whose office helped draft the letter, said he was concerned that a dominant Pentagon launch provider might squeeze out upstart rivals. “These smaller companies, they’re just trying to cut their teeth,” he said.

SpaceX did not respond to requests for comment. But when interviewed at a recent industry conference, one of SpaceX’s senior executives disputed any suggestion that the company was trying to force other new launch companies out of business.

“I don’t buy that, not at all,” Gary Henry, who works on national security contracts for SpaceX after earlier posts with Boeing and the Air Force, said in the interview. “I can see if you are on that end of it, it might feel that way. But people in those companies who know us personally know that is not the case.”

In a presentation to SpaceX employees in Texas this year, Mr. Musk did not directly address claims of anticompetitive behavior from rivals in the launch industry. But he noted that SpaceX had carried cargo to orbit, or agreed to do so in the future, for competitors in related businesses including Amazon , Telestat , OneWeb and Apple-backed Globalstar , all of which are rivals of SpaceX’s Starlink communications network.

“We’re actually on contract to launch Amazon’s Kuiper constellation,” Mr. Musk said, evoking a round of laughter from the gathered SpaceX employees. “And we treat everyone fairly.”

SpaceX’s defenders also point out that the launch business appears to be growing more competitive, not less.

Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin is close to its first launch for its New Glenn rocket. Rocket Lab is building what it calls Neutron , and Relativity Space is working on its Terran R , among other new entrants. After years of delays, Boeing is soon expected to start launching NASA astronauts into space on its new Starliner spacecraft.

For now, though, the ability of the United States to reach orbit, particularly for its most vital classified military and spy satellites, remains largely dependent on Mr. Musk and his Falcon 9 rocket.

“Heaven forbid we have a mishap with a Falcon 9 launch,” said Col. Richard Kniseley, who helps run Space Force’s Commercial Space Office. “That means it is grounded, right? And that means we could be without launch. So that’s where my concern is.”

SpaceX has collectively been awarded $14.7 billion in federal launch prime contracts over the last decade, according to an analysis performed by The New York Times by the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

Last year alone, SpaceX secured $3.1 billion in federal prime contracts, according to the data, nearly as much as the combined amount the federal government committed for space transportation and related services from its nine competitors, from giants like Boeing and Northrop Grumman to startups like Blue Origin.

SpaceX is privately held, so it does not release revenue figures, but Payload, an industry research site, estimated that nearly 60 percent of SpaceX’s launch-related revenue last year came from the federal government.

This means that despite Mr. Musk’s early disdain for government subsidies granted to his rivals, including Lockheed and Boeing, SpaceX’s own rise has been bankrolled in large part by NASA and the Pentagon.

At the same time, SpaceX has increasingly adopted business tactics that Mr. Musk once condemned , including expanding its lobbying presence in Washington and hiring top Pentagon and NASA executives after they played key roles in awarding contracts to SpaceX.

SpaceX now employs William H. Gerstenmaier, who supervised the NASA commercial cargo program that hired SpaceX.

SpaceX also hired Terrence J. O’Shaughnessy, a former Air Force general who first moved to retain SpaceX to provide its Starlink satellite service to the military, and Kathy Lueders, who was the lead NASA contract official who picked SpaceX for a $ 2.9 billion contract for the spacecraft that will take NASA astronauts from lunar orbit to the surface of the moon for the first time in 50 years. (SpaceX did not respond when asked about these hires. No one has accused the former officials of favoritism.)

SpaceX has boosted its spending on lobbyists by 30 percent since 2020, reaching $2.9 million last year, federal records show. (That is still far less than the spending on lobbyists by giant military contractors like Lockheed and Boeing , or Amazon .)

Lori Garver, a former NASA official who pushed for NASA to hire private companies to take astronauts to and from the space station and has repeatedly praised SpaceX’s performance, said she too has been surprised by the company’s aggressiveness.

“I underestimated how it would play out over the long term and the dominant position they would get to,” she said. “And the lengths to which they would go, once in the dominant position, to fight to keep that dominance.”

Outsider No More

It was a foggy morning in February at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, as bursts of supercooled oxygen sprayed from the upper sections of the Falcon 9 rocket — a sure sign that yet another SpaceX rocket was about to blast off.

At the moment the launch window opened, the Falcon 9 lifted off , carrying 23 Starlink satellites to low Earth orbit — about 230 miles up in space. It marked the start of a burst of activity that demonstrates just how dominant SpaceX has become.

Three days later, at an adjacent Kennedy Space Center launchpad, another SpaceX Falcon 9 lifted off , this one carrying four astronauts on a NASA-funded flight to the International Space Station.

Two more Falcon 9 launches followed , later that day and the next . One, launched from California, was stuffed with 53 spacecraft from companies that had shared a ride on SpaceX’s Transporter service, which allows companies to book a slot for their cargo online.

In South Texas, SpaceX then had its third test flight of Starship . It is the largest rocket ever created — big enough to carry three times as much cargo as NASA’s Space Shuttle was capable of lifting into orbit and at a price so low, it could completely upend the commercial launch market again.

Finally, by late March, SpaceX had launched its 30th cargo delivery toward the space station.

SpaceX’s 96 successful orbital launches during 2023 contrast with seven launches to orbit from the U.S. in total last year by all of SpaceX’s competitors, and were more than all launches from Russia and China combined. The majority of SpaceX launches last year were to put its own Starlink satellites into orbit, but even without Starlink, it has a dominant role.

The United Launch Alliance, a joint venture set up by Lockheed and Boeing, sent only three rockets to orbit last year.

Those figures are a striking shift from a decade ago, when SpaceX sued the Air Force asserting that it had illegally directed launch business to the Lockheed-Boeing joint venture, known as ULA.

“Boeing and Lockheed joined forces to convince the Air Force that the culprit was competition itself, and formed ULA to monopolize,” the company wrote in its 2014 bid protest. The lawsuit demanded that the Air Force award some of its military launches to SpaceX, which at that point still had not been certified by the Pentagon as reliable enough to carry high-value national security cargo.

Mr. Musk also slammed what he said was unnecessary federal funding that was going to these companies, suggesting that such subsidies were wasteful.

Now SpaceX is enjoying a steady flow of government money as its record of reliability and low costs fosters more federal contracts.

Even when major contractors like Boeing have attempted to compete with SpaceX, it has taken them longer to get their spacecraft built, and what they produce comes in at a much higher price. One example is the Starliner that Boeing is building under a $4.3 billion contract for NASA to deliver crews to the International Space Station.

Once Starliner is operational, it will cost NASA an estimated $90 million for each astronaut launched to orbit through 2030, compared to $55 million a seat on SpaceX, according to the agency’s inspector general .

Mr. Musk’s fierce competitive tactics were on display in 2014 , when he pushed the federal government in a lawsuit to enforce a plan to prohibit the Lockheed and Boeing joint venture from continuing to rely on a Russian-made engine for the Atlas V rocket it used to send military and spy satellites into orbit.

Congress and the Obama administration were already pushing the companies to find an American-made replacement. But banning the use of the Russian engine before a reliable alternative could be put in place would have left United Launch Alliance unable to meet the Pentagon’s launch needs — in turn creating an opening for SpaceX.

“We design and manufacture the rockets in California and Texas with key suppliers throughout the country,” Mr. Musk told a Senate committee in 2014.

Air Force officials worried even then that a ban on use of the Russian engines might mean replacing one monopoly with another.

“We have been concerned for some time that with the course that we are on, we may end up with one launch service provider,” Mr. Kendall, now the Air Force secretary, told the Senate in 2016, when he was serving as the service’s top acquisitions officer.

That prediction has to some extent come true.

Forced to phase out its use of the Russian engines, ULA ultimately declined to bid on at least four additional federal government launch contracts beyond those it already had on its books. The four new launches, cumulatively worth about $850 million, went to SpaceX, NASA and Pentagon records show.

Mr. Henry, the SpaceX executive, said the United Launch Alliance had no one to blame but itself.

“So they had a good thing going and got complacent,” he said. “And then to their misfortune, Elon and SpaceX showed up.”

Squeezing Upstarts

Mr. Beck, the chief executive of Rocket Lab, started the company in 2006, just four years after SpaceX was created and before SpaceX had sent its first rocket to orbit.

Since then, Rocket Lab’s Electron launch vehicle has had more than 40 successful trips to orbit, delivering almost 200 satellites to space at one of the lowest costs in the industry.

Now the second most frequent orbital commercial launch company globally behind SpaceX, Rocket Lab is moving to build Neutron, a larger rocket that will compete directly with SpaceX’s Falcon 9.

Mr. Beck said he had observed early on that SpaceX was willing to go after its business rivals.

He and other industry executives said they were convinced that SpaceX had set the price for its Transporter service — where small satellite companies can book slots on a Falcon 9 launch — with the explicit goal of undermining the financial plans of emerging competitors.

Transporter’s low price — initially $5,000 per kilogram — was below what some industry executives calculated was SpaceX’s basic cost. They concluded that SpaceX could only offer such a low price by subsiding those flights with some of its government contracting revenue.

More recently, SpaceX started what it called Bandwagon, which offers satellite makers launches to orbits that provide them better coverage over key sections of the world. SpaceX is selling these flights at far below its own costs to undermine its competition, Mr. Beck said, citing his own estimates.

“Bandwagon is like, the most bold and obtuse anti-competitive thing you can do,” said Mr. Beck, whose company charges about $21,500 per kilogram for its launches to specific orbits.

Mr. Henry, the SpaceX executive, disputed that SpaceX might be using its market dominance to hurt its competitors.

“We make money on all our launches,” he said.

Flights that carry multiple private and government payloads on a single Falcon 9 launch, he said, are benefiting the commercial space industry by making it more affordable for small firms to get satellites into orbit.

Mr. Ellis of Relativity Space said SpaceX had made explicit and repeated efforts to limit the growth of his business.

“Every single funding round that was done once we started to become a larger company, and every single customer deal we have signed, has been followed with a swift and large number of outreach calls from SpaceX to all of those entities berating them for doing things with us,” he said. “This is not theoretical.”

Mr. Cantrell, whose company Phantom Space has received funding from NASA to help build its new launch vehicle, said his sales team had been told by Sidus Space and a second company that SpaceX had demanded contract provisions intended to limit their ability to hire other launch providers.

Carol Craig, the chief executive of Sidus Space, confirmed in an interview that SpaceX had a “right of first refusal” provision in a deal she had signed for five launches, allowing SpaceX to counter any offers from its competitors.

“Are they saying you absolutely have to? No,” she said, adding that her company has a nondisclosure agreement with SpaceX that prohibits her from discussing the exact terms of her deal. “It doesn’t feel like they’re trying to monopolize.”

But Mr. Cantrell said he was convinced that SpaceX was trying to block out emerging competitors.

“It’s anti-competitive and anti-American and I don’t like it,” Mr. Cantrell said.

Even with these impediments, Mr. Cantrell said he had been able to build a manifest with approximately $80 million worth of contracts for future launches. But he has been delayed in getting his new rocket built and operating because of trouble raising the necessary capital.

Fickle Billionaires

The concerns about SpaceX’s dominant position only escalated when Mr. Musk denied a request from Ukraine in 2022 to turn on his Starlink coverage over Crimea so that Ukraine could use it to target Russian military assets, as was first reported by Walter Isaacson last year in his biography of Mr. Musk.

Mr. Kendall, the Air Force secretary, said the Pentagon subsequently reviewed its contracts with SpaceX to address “whether I was comfortable depending upon billionaires and their potential fickleness for military services.”

The Pentagon announced soon afterward that it had reached a new deal with SpaceX for a satellite-communications system it calls Starshield that is much like the existing Starlink network, but “ will be owned by the U.S. government and controlled” by the Space Force, Mr. Musk confirmed. Reuters later reported that the National Reconnaissance Office, an intelligence agency, also has a classified $1.8 billion contract to get access to Starshield.

Pentagon officials said that SpaceX has honored its commitments.

But the Defense Department has moved recently to try to expand its launch providers, both for small payload launches and its most expensive, classified, national security launches.

Pentagon officials said that SpaceX had argued that another national security launch provider was unnecessary, an assertion that Mr. Henry did not dispute.

“We did say we don’t think there’s a supply shortage,” he said. “But we are all good. Competition is good.”

SpaceX’s Starship, its newest rocket, which is now undergoing testing, is likely to have a far lower price for hauling cargo to orbit than any of its competitors, according to industry analysts. Its rates to carry a satellite into orbit could be as low as $200 a kilogram, compared to $65,000 per kilogram by NASA’s Shuttle before it retired, or the $6,000 now that SpaceX charges for its Transporter flights.

That means SpaceX’s Falcon 9 and Starship could dominate the space launch industry for the decade to come, some industry officials predict, with Mr. Musk already projecting that SpaceX could deliver 90 percent of the world’s cargo to space this year even before Starship is counted, up from about 80 percent in 2023.

“There’s not a lot of industries where a company is doing like 80 percent of everything,” Mr. Musk told his employees, expressing pride over how dominant SpaceX has become.

Mr. Beck, the founder and chief executive of Rocket Lab, said no matter what actions SpaceX takes, he believes the best way to respond is to keep launching, including the climate science satellite his company put into orbit last weekend for NASA .

“Whatever shady practices he wants to do along the way, then so be it — we don’t care,” Mr. Beck said. “Because at the end of the day, you have to compete. And if you can’t compete, then you can’t compete.”

But Mr. Henry of SpaceX said that the impact of its continued expansion is clear to those inside the company.

“My heart bleeds for these small launch companies, right?” he said. “Because they’re not all going to make it. Most of them are not.”
