Supply Chain Strategy and Performance
Challenges for your supply chain strategy
Many of our companies are facing increasing variability, both at source and delivery side. Moreover complexity is rising because of shorter product life cycles in a global network context. Extra inventory and excess capacity are “quick fix” shock absorbers but are at the same time driving the high “cash to serve”. Companies are faced with new supply chain strategy challenges. Because of raising demands in combination with price pressure, many of us start to worry about the “cost to serve”.
One will not find the solution in the “technical supply chain corner”. The solution will be found by looking at the supply chain strategy from a wider business perspective.
