Does your Supply Chain support your customer’s needs?

Thursday April 21st, 2011

Is your supply chain strategic or reactionary?  If it is strategic, does it meet your customer’s needs?  If it is reactionary, how could your supply chain possibly meet your customer needs?

Your organizations supply chain strategy must be defined at the strategic level so everyone is aware of the strategy and can therefore support it with every decision they make.  This means your sales people are attracting clients based on how you compete in the market place.  Once an order is received, every supply and demand decision is made reflecting your customer’s needs.

After reviewing the structure every organization must have in place to be efficient and profitable, we will discuss some examples of organizations with supply chains aligned with their customer’s needs.  In each case you will clearly see the decisions made high up in the planning hierarchy and the subsequent execution decisions which support the organizations strategic advantage.

In the competitive marketplace we all work in, can any of us afford to give away bottom line contribution?  Asked another way….Would your organization benefit from profit gains garnered by aligning the supply chain with your customers needs?
