Reducing Supply Chain Costs while Enhancing Quality Performance

Reducing Supply Chain Costs While Enhancing Quality Performance presented by Mark Hehl

The rewards for undertaking a supplier development initiative are well worth the effort. For example, some of the benefits of an effective supply chain development program include: - Sourcing cycle time reduced by 25-30 percent - Time-to-market reduced by 20 percent - Costs lowered by 25-50 percent - Significant quality improvement - Increased responsiveness to customer needs and market dynamics - Improved collaboration and knowledge sharing - Learn how technology can be effectively used to enable supplier collaboration

Overview: Thus, a supplier development program must be aimed at improving suppliers performance, not browbeating them into charging less or simply auditing and rewarding them.
Instead, supplier development is all about providing suppliers with what they need to be successful in the supply chain.
This program provides supply chain professionals with a time tested approach towards reducing costs through a formal supplier development program that involves the culture and series of Rapid Results projects.
