Plan 2003
In 1996, Harley Davidson
announced their ambitious
Plan 2003.
Their goal was to double
manufacturing capacity to
300,000 by the year 2003,
coinciding with their 100 year
anniversary.
Do you think they were able to
exceed their goal of 300,000
motorcycles by 2003?
21 of
Harley Davidsons
Choice
On August 9th 1999, Oracle announced Harley Davidsons
selection of Oracle Internet Procurement, a premier Oracle ebusiness solution, to streamline and support its procurement
function across all domestic manufacturing sites.
The need to standardize arose as a result of the prior
establishment of essentially separate procurement systems at
each of its domestic manufacturing sites which led to
numerous separate systems, fragmentation of procurement
data, and manual process integration across sites.
As a result, they will be consolidating all U.S. manufacturing
production and non-production related procurement across its
eight domestic sites into a single automated procurement
system, in order to streamline processes, reduce costs, and
consolidate demand across the enterprise.

Harley Davidsons
Suppliers
Garry Berryman optimized Harleys supply chain by reducing
their 3,000 maintenance, repair, and operating (MRO)
suppliers to three primary ones.
The direct suppliers that provide the parts that go into
making motorcycles and accessories were consolidated from
1,000 to 350.
Why did Harley reduce the number of suppliers when they
just implemented a system to help manage this kind of
purchasing?
By reducing the number of suppliers, Harley could focus on
developing a deeper relationship with these key suppliers by
inviting them to get involved in product design and
manufacturing processes.

Relationship with
Suppliers
From what we learned in class, what are some ways
Harley Davidson could open its doors to suppliers and
exchange data?
Harley Davidson standardized their forms and
procedures and required all suppliers to use EDI. As
not all suppliers had the capabilities to perform EDI,
Harley Davidson eventually created a web based
portal called the Harley Davidson Supplier Network.
Harley also utilizes bar codes and electronic trigger
systems for replenishing parts so that their systems
notify suppliers when they are running low on
inventory.

H-D Supplier
Network
Harley Davidson picked Manugistics NetWORKS
collaborative solutions to power the H-D Supplier
Network. Manugistics also provides seamless integration
with Oracles applications. Together, Manugistics and
Oracle will enable Harley to leverage best-in-class
supply chain optimization and enterprise resource
planning (ERP).
